1747 Rios Unit A, Chula Vista, CA 91911

One-And Two-Family Residence Zone

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 provide 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 single-family attached dwelling units on two 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 sq ft and the sale of individual attached single-family dwelling units constructed on such lots to separate ownerships.
