A. Rural Residential (RR-20): The purpose of this Rural Residential Zoning District is to provide areas for large, more intense agricultural activities, ranching land uses, and their related activities, in appropriate locations with buffering to mitigate the negative impacts upon, or from, such operations. The minimum lot size is twenty (20) acres. The intent is to protect areas that exhibit productive agricultural soils and existing or desired ranching uses from incompatible land uses and urban encroachment. This district is appropriate where very low density residential development is desired, where minimal public facilities and services are programmed or anticipated, and in aviation overflight areas. The RR-20 Zoning District may also act as a holding zone to prevent the premature conversion of rural lands to suburban or urban uses and until there exists adequate public facilities and an appropriate development plan.
B. Rural Residential (RR-5): The purpose of this Rural Residential Zoning District is to provide for, and conserve, existing rural, ranch, and very low density residential uses in their present or desired character, and to foster orderly growth. The minimum lot size is five (5) acres. The intent of this district is to allow for areas where small ranching and semirural residential uses can be maintained without imposing/receiving conflicts from higher density development. This district is appropriate where low density development is desired, as a buffer for these uses from the more intense agricultural uses of the RR-20 District, and in aviation overflight areas.
C. Rural Residential (RR-2.5): The purpose of this Rural Residential Zoning District is to provide an open, low-density country residential atmosphere on large lots. Lots are typically larger than in the developed portion of the City and can include area(s) for large livestock for non-commercial purposes. The minimum lot size is two and one-half (2.5) acres. This district is compatible with the Estate Residential Districts and can also serve as a buffer and transition to the higher density Residential Districts.
D. Estate Residential (R1-54): The purpose of this Estate Residential District is to provide an appropriate zoning district for the transition of newly annexed property into the City of Eloy, so as to equitably accommodate a comparable zoning district affording similar densities and intensities of residential land uses that were prescribed under the former County zoning district designation. The minimum lot size is fifty four thousand four hundred fifty (54,450) square feet (approximately 1.25 acres). This district is compatible with Rural Residential and Estate Residential Zoning Districts, but could also be utilized as a holding district until future zoning requests that are consistent with the General Plan land use designation(s) can be established. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
E. Estate Residential (R1-43): The purpose of this Estate Residential Zoning District is to foster orderly growth in the transitional or fringe areas, whereby large lot residential uses would be most appropriate. The minimum lot size is forty three thousand five hundred sixty (43,560) square feet (1.0 acre). The intent of this district is to provide a pastoral character and home sites that create an open environment and to provide a transition land use buffer between the rural land uses and single-family residential land uses. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
F. Single-Family Residential (R1-12): The purpose of this Single- Family Residential District is to provide a transition from rural residential and/or estate development to more suburban residential neighborhoods. Development in this district is generally comprised of moderate sized-lot (minimum 12,000 square feet in area) single-family detached homes with more conventional residential amenities such as sidewalks, public utility services and other improvements. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
G. Single-Family Residential (R1-6): The purpose of this Single- Family Residential Zoning District is to provide smaller lot sizes than other single-family districts while maintaining a traditional single-family neighborhood character. Development in this district should also include non-motorized linkages to community and neighborhood services such as schools, parks and shopping areas. All public utilities and facilities must be in place at the time of first dwelling unit occupancy. Certain essential and complementary uses are permitted under residential use standards which ensure their compatibility with the character of the district. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
H. Small Lot Residential (R-2): The purpose of this Small Lot Residential Zoning District is to provide for neighborhoods consisting of a mixture of single-family detached and attached homes including small-lot residential dwellings such as duplexes, townhomes, and/or patio homes together with schools, parks, trails and other supportive public facilities. Anticipated project densities may range between 6 - 10 dwelling units per acre (gross) for single family detached units and from 6 - 12 dwelling units per acre (gross) for all other residential uses, with heights limited to two (2) stories. This district may serve as a transition between Multi-Family Residential Districts and Single-Family Residential Districts. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
I. Multiple Family Residential (R-3): The purpose of this Multiple Family Residential Zoning District is to allow for higher densities to provide a balance of housing opportunities in the community. Anticipated project densities may range between 10 - 24 dwelling units per acre (gross), with typical heights limited to three (3) stories. This district is most appropriate in the downtown area, adjacent to large shopping or employment centers, or within a large PAD. The district requires direct connection to higher volume roadways and all public utilities. The maximum density is twenty four (24) dwelling units per acre. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
