About La Loma

Park

La Loma Park, located between Shattuck Avenue and Euclid Avenue, is a hillside and residential Berkeley neighborhood with winding stair streets and canyon greenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rose Garden and Euclid Avenue, where café patios, small markets, and campus-bound foot traffic set a steady daytime hum. Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes step up the slopes, with frequent bay-view glimpses between mature trees. Codornices Creek and its paths shape the terrain, linking pocket parks and quiet overlooks. Community pillars include Berkeley Rose Garden, the UC Theatre Taube Family Music Hall, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA).

R-1H

Single Family Residential District - Hillside Overlay Zone

The purpose of the Single-Family Residential (R-1) district is to: Recognize and protect the existing pattern of development in the low-density, single-family residential areas of the city consistent with the General Plan; Make housing available for persons who desire detached housing and a relatively large amount of usable open space; Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air; and Permit community facilities such as religious assembly uses, schools, parks, and libraries which serve the local population and are not detrimental to the immediate neighborhood.; The purpose of the Hillside (H) overlay zone is to: implement General Plan policies for hillside development; protect the safety and health of residents where steep topography, unusual street conditions and proximity to the wildland-urban interface create severe risk from wildfire; protect the character of Berkeley's hillside areas and their immediate environs; give reasonable protection to views yet allow appropriate development of all property; and allow modifications in standard setback and height requirements when justified because of steep topography, irregular lot pattern, unusual street conditions, or other special aspects of the hillside areas.
