Residential - 4 DU per Acre - Special Treatment District - Coastal Edge

The Residential District regulates the number of people living in a given area by specifying the maximum allowable number of dwelling units that may be developed on any given parcel of land. In order not to differentiate between economic groups or life-styles, a reasonable flexibility in the type of dwelling units and their placement on the land has been provided; to establish standards governing the development, construction and use of housing and dwelling facilities; to provide opportunity for all groups of persons to obtain adequate housing within each area of the County suitable for residential use in relation to other land uses and consistent with the preservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources; to establish the level of minimum services necessary to assure the adequacy of housing; to encourage a variety of housing types, sizes and densities necessary to meet the needs of all economic groups and to avoid environmental monotony detrimental to the quality of life; and to maintain the character and integrity of communities within residential districts and support residents in continuing to live and raise their families in these neighborhoods.; Special Treatment - Coastal Edge: The Special Treatment District specifies the additional performance required when critical or valuable social or aesthetic characteristics of the environment or community exist in the same area as a parcel where particular functions or uses may be developed. To designate and guide development of County areas which because of unique or critical cultural, physical or locational characteristics have particular significance or value to the general public. To ensure that development within those areas recognize, preserve, maintain and contribute to the enhancement of those characteristics which are of particular significance or value to the general public. To ensure that development within those applicable areas is constructed in a manner that safely mitigates impacts from coastal hazards, including but not limited to sea level rise, coastal erosion, high wave runup, passive flooding, and an increased frequency and intensity of storms. Any of these districts may overlap any Use Districts, creating accumulated regulations that more nearly relate to the conditions of the specific location where the development or use may occur.
