Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.190.010 Statement of Intent

The zoning of property as R-1A, Small-Lot Single-Family Residential District, or RP-1A, Planned Small-Lot Single-Family Residential District, is intended to provide for detached single-family residential development, at densities greater than in the R-1 District, in areas where adequate public services and facilities exist for such development and such development is appropriate given the surrounding land uses and neighborhood. The R-1A and RP-1A Districts are intended to be located within areas shown as Medium-Density Residential on the Future Development Plan, or within areas shown as Low-Density Residential upon a finding of compatibility with surrounding uses. The R-1A and RP-1A Districts are intended to promote affordable housing by lowering development costs, to provide single-family detached housing for persons desiring such housing on smaller lots, and to allow the development of zero lot line subdivisions. Property zoned R-1A or RP-1A shall be served by public sanitary sewers, or suitable alternatives, prior to development.
