M. Fencing Regulations . See Section 33. 901 B, paragraph

Sec. 33 . 504 . R-2 One and Two-Family Residence Zone .
A. Purpose and Intent. The basic use permitted in the R-2
zone is the lowest density of multiple dwelling units , namely
the duplex. It is the purpose of the City Council to provide
in this zone a density level commensurate with the density
allowable under the most restrictive multiple family zone but
to retain the fundamental characteristics to be found in the
R-1 zone, i .e . , private yards and patios , individual recreational
facilities , privately maintained open space and privacy and
self-containment of dwelling units . In order to provide these
characteristics , the Council hereby establishes a wider range
of principal permitted uses to create greater diversity and
flexibility of housing concepts ; to extend the single-family
private dwelling unit amenities to all economic levels ; to pro-
vide a broader range of lot sizes and to satisfy the full
variety of tastes , needs and desires in housing.
It is the full intent of the City Council to authorize as
principal permitted uses , in addition to the duplex or two-
family dwelling units on a single lot, two (2) single-family
attached dwelling units on two (2) contiguous lots and dwelling
groups as provided in this chapter. The attached single-family
dwelling unit concept would permit the reduction of lot sizes
to 3,500 square feet and the sale of individual attached single-
family dwelling units constructed on such lots to separate owner-
ships .
Authorization for this latter housing concept for either new
construction or existing duplex units would require filing of
a subdivision or parcel map and provision for the amenities
delineated herein as normally associated with the single-family
housing concept to be found in the R-1 zone . In addition to
site plan and architectural review, landscaping plans , fencing
plans and housing floor plans and basic construction designs
must be presented for the approval of the Planning Commission
to insure the creation of an overall community environment
similar to the R-1 zone. The owners and developers applying
for authorization for said attached single-family dwelling units
in the R-2 zone must also provide covenants , conditions and
restrictions to insure compatibility in the maintenance , repair
or remodeling of the attached dwelling units held under separate
ownership. Said deed restrictions shall be subject to the
approval of the Planning Commission and must be recorded con-
currently with the recordation of the single subdivision map or
parcel map. The Commission may require the establishment of a
maintenance district incorporating said conditions and obliga-
tions .

be measured factually and objectively; to ensure that all
uses will provide methods to protect the community from
hazards and nuisances which can be prevented by processes of
control and nuisance eliminations ; to protect industries
from arbitrary exclusion or persecution based solely on the
nuisance production by any particular type of use in the past.

Sec. 33. 803. Off-Street Parking; Residential.
Former Subseetions 1 and 2 relettered A and B; nev sub-
section C (transferred from Section 33. 502) added, as follows :
A. Front Setback Restrictions . (Balance of section un-
changed. )
B. Front Setback; Exception for Parking Purposes . (Bal-
ance of section unchanged. )
C. Two-Car Garage Aequirement.
1. Intent and Purpose . It is the intent of this
subsection to require that all dwelling units in the
A, R-E, R-1 and R-2 zones shall also have constructed
on the same lot as a necessary and essential accessory
building to the residential use of said lot, a two-car
enclosed garage containing a minimum of four hundred
(400) square feet and minimum dimension of twenty feet
(20 ' ) . The purpose of said requirement is to provide
adequate off-street parking so as to alleviate the
congestion on residential streets and space for the
necessary storage of materials in an enclosure. Said
enclosed garage or appropriate carport, as provided
herein , is necessary to protect the general welfare
of residential areas by preventing the establishment
of parking spaces in an open parking lot situation
inappropriate to residential development and the open
and disorderly display of gardening equipment, tools ,
boxes and other materials which would be stored in
enclosures to avoid an unsightly appearance.
2 . Garage Setbacks . Notwithstanding requirements
� herein, minimum front yard shall be twenty-two feet
(22 ' ) from the inside edge of the sidewalk to the
door of a garage or structure of a carport in the
case of a driveway approximately perpendicular to
the front property line . Any garage that has its
access from an alley shall be located twenty-five
feet (25 ' ) from the opposite side of said alley with
a minimum setback of five feet (5 ' ) from said alley.
3. Garage Conversions Regulations . Prior to the
issuance of a building permit for the conversion of
any existing two-car garage for living purposes , the
property owner desiring such conversion shall be re-
quired to provide the following conditions and approvals .
(a) Two (2) paved off-street parking spaces
with minimum dimensions of ten feet (10 ' ) by
. nineteen feet (19 ' ) for each of said parking
spaces . Said parking spaces shall be located
in back of the front yard setb acks; provided,
however, that the front yard setback area may
be used to accommodate the required off-street
parking if the plans for said parking spaces
are approved by the Zoning Administrator. The
Zoning Administrator shall examine said plans
to insure that the parking as proposed does not
create any obstacles to vehicular or pedestrian
traffic and would not be detrimental to the
surrounding neighborhood. If the Zoning Admin-
istrator disapproves the parking plans , the
property owner may file an application for a
variance as provided in this chapter. Tandem
parking as provided in this chapter will not
satisfy the parking requirements .
-31-
,�
(b) Proper EncZosed Storage Space. The re-
quired storage unit shall contain a minimum of
eighty (80) sguare feet of floor area for two-
car garages and forty (40) square feet for one-
car garages , and shall be no less than six feet
(6 ' ) high, with no other dimension less than
four feet (4 ' ) , and shall have direct exterior
access .
(c) All plans for the conversions of existing
garages for living purposes , as well as plans
for new garages or carports , shall be submitted
to the Planning Department for approval, to in-
sure that the conversion is compatible in design
and materials with the existing dwelling.
Sec. 33 .901 . Special Provisions Applying to Particular
Uses .
A. Purpose . The purpose of these special provisions is
to establish clear and definite terms and conditions govern-
ing the development of certain uses possessing unique charac-
teristics of problems which will enable diverse uses to be

development. .
