RL
Residential-Low Density District
The RL zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for neighborhoods of single-family homes on individual lots, and related, compatible uses. The allowable density ranges from two to 7.25 dwellings per acre. The RL zoning district is consistent with and implements the Residential - Low Density land use classification of the General Plan.
