28.15.005 Legislative Intent.
These zones are restricted residential districts of low density in which the principal use of land is for single
residential units; together with recreation, assembly and education facilities required to serve the community. The
regulations for these districts are designed and intended to establish, maintain and protect the essential characteristics
of the districts, to develop and sustain a suitable environment for domestic life including the raising of children, and
to prohibit all activities which would tend to be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation of a residential
environment. Commercial uses are strictly limited because commercial uses may result in adverse impacts on
surrounding residential uses including, but not limited to, increased levels of commercial and residential vehicle
traffic, parking demand, light and glare, and noise.
The City Council intends that buildings within these residential districts may be used for housing a person or
persons with disabilities, as defined in the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1989 and State Housing Law. Group Home
residences of persons with disabilities or handicaps are an allowed use in all residential districts, and are not required
to obtain a variance or a conditional use permit in order to operate unless a variance or conditional use permit would
be required for a residential unit under the same circumstances. (Ord. 4924, 1995; Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 2868, 1962;
Ord. 2585, 1957.)
