Restricted Multiple-Family Residential District - Hillside Overlay Zone
The purpose of the Restricted Multiple-Family Residential (R-2A) district is to: Implement the General Plan by encouraging the development of medium-density residential areas characterized by small multiple-family and garden-type apartment structures with a maximum of open space consistent with this type of development; Make available housing for persons who desire apartment-type accommodations with a maximum of open space; Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air; and permit only land use intensity which is compatible with existing low-density residential structures and is 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.
