RVL
Residential-Very Low Density District
The RVL zoning district is applied to areas where physical constraints, the protection of natural features, or the preservation of semi-rural character have been identified by the General Plan as important considerations. The RVL zoning district is primarily applied to areas with steep slopes, and where the General Plan intends that the open space character of the City’s hillsides and perimeter lands are to be preserved. Individual homesites are allowed in hillside areas, as long as precautions are taken to prevent the excessive removal of vegetation, and strict grading controls are enforced to prevent erosion (see Chapter 9.52 for hillside development standards). The allowable density is two or fewer primary dwellings per acre. The RVL zoning district is consistent with and implements the Residential - Very Low Density land use classification of the General Plan.
