(A) Purpose. The purpose of the R-1-5 District is to provide a smaller lot size for single-family housing products while keeping the integrity of single-family detached home neighborhoods. This is accomplished by maintaining well-established, consistent development practices such as standard single-family zone setbacks, so these smaller units on smaller lots still maintain the character and integrity of existing single-family neighborhoods in the city.
(B) Applicability. The allowed residential density of the Low Density Residential Districts shall be in conformance with the appropriate General Plan Land Use Designation and in compliance with the Zoning Conformity Matrix.
(C) Permitted principal uses.
(1) A single-family subdivision with lots containing at least 5,000 square feet and meeting the density requirement of one 4.9-dwelling units per acre;
(2) Child day care services, small (SIC 8351);
(3) Publicly owned and operated parks, playgrounds and recreational uses;
(4) Community garden;
(5) Rooming and boarding houses, (small); and
(6) Residential care home.

(1) Accessory uses of buildings or structures customarily incidental and subordinate to any use permitted by this subchapter such as swimming pools, garages, laundry rooms and public recreation areas and structures, subject to the criteria as specified in § 154-15.15 of this chapter;

(F) Property development standards. In addition to the regulations and requirements contained in other sections of this chapter, the following minimum property development standards apply to all land and buildings in the Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5) District as may be designated on the official zoning map.
(1) Lot size. The minimum lot size in the Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5) District shall be 5,000 square feet.
(2) Density. The maximum density in the Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-l-5) District shall be one unit per 5,000 square feet of land (meeting the density as identified in the General Plan), provided all other development standards in this zoning district are met.
(3) Lot width. The minimum lot width in the Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5) District shall be 50 feet.
(4) Lot coverage. The maximum lot coverage in the Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5) District shall be 50% of the lot area.
(5) Yards. The following is the list of minimum yard setbacks in the Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-l-5) District:
(a) Minimum front yard setback. Twenty feet; garages can be placed separately from the dwelling unit on the lot;
(b) Minimum side yard setbacks. Five feet;
(c) Minimum rear yard setback. Ten feet, except for detached garage;
(d) Minimum street side yard setback. Ten feet; and
(e) Block walls. The side and rear yards shall have six foot solid block walls on the property lines. The actual location of the beginning of the six foot side yard wall shall be determined based on the house plan built, starting from some appropriate point (as determined by the Zoning Administrator) along the side yard property line next to the house, with the wall continuing and adjoining the rear property line wall.
(6) Garages. Garages can be attached or detached from the dwelling unit. If attached, the minimum front yard garage setback shall be 20 feet. If garages are detached from the unit, they can be placed anywhere from the minimum 20 feet front yard setback to a minimum rear yard setback of three feet.
(7) Building heights. The maximum building height in the Low Density Single- Family Residential (R-l-5) District shall be 40 feet.

(9) Off-street parking. Each single-family dwelling shall have a two-car garage for parking cars and household storage. In addition to the two-car garage, each single-family dwelling shall have a paved driveway capable of providing parking for two cars.
(10) Stormwater retention basins. Stormwater retention shall occur on a larger scale, with basins planned to accommodate a minimum of one-quarter section (160 acres) of adjacent surrounding land. The basins shall be planned, when possible, to align with the locations identified for neighborhood parks in the General Plan. For infill projects, projects less than 160 acres or projects that are constrained by physical barriers such as rail lines, elevated freeways and irrigation canals, smaller basins may be allowed on a case-by-case basis upon approval of the Zoning Administrator.
(11) R-1-5 as infill. When a parcel of land is zoned R-1-5 and is next to any existing single-family development, the larger side yard setback shall be adjacent to the existing single-family development. When the rear yard of any R-1-5 lot abuts any existing single-family development or developed parcels, the rear yard setback for the R-1-5 lots shall be increased to mirror the setbacks of the zoning of the adjacent parcels (for example: if an R-1-5 zone abuts the rear of an R-1-6 zone, the rear yard setback shall be ten feet. If an R-1-5 zone abuts the rear of an R-1-8 zone, the rear yard setback shall be 20 feet).
