Tuscany on the Mesa! Enjoy the ambience of this beautiful, single-level home perched on a hill capturing ocean views and vistas. The Mediterranean flavor carries throughout the beautiful kitchen, inviting living space, and flows outdoors to the lovely entertainment terrace, pergola, dining area, and fountain overlooking the drought tolerant landscaping. Al fresco dining is one of the many highlights of this indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Travertine tile flooring and coffered ceiling adorn the serene entrance, and the luxurious kitchen features beautiful wood cabinets, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. The dining area allows for abundant natural light to grace the room through the sliding French doors. Vaulted ceilings and a sun-soaked window seat in the living room draw one to the ocean and island views or offers a charming place to curl up with a good book. The large, glamorous master suite accommodates a chaise lounge for relaxation. Guests won't want to leave the inviting second guest bedroom and convenient updated guest bath. An office/den/third bedroom offers access to the backyard, which features easy-to-maintain landscaping. Located at the top of the terraced backyard is a hot tub and Tuff shed which could serve as a perfect hobby room, workshop, or small art studio. New solar panels and a water softener have recently been installed, creating an energy-efficient home. Blueprints have been developed for the addition of a proposed ADU atop the two-car garage. Both the front and back outdoor spaces offer the perfect spots to enjoy the sunsets and views -- reminiscent of the hillsides of Tuscany!

RS-15
One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
