5-2H-1: - PURPOSE AND INTENT.

Hidden Hills Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-06 · Hidden Hills

The purpose of this Article is to preserve the natural scenic character of the City by establishing minimum standards relating to the siting and massing of either a new structure or a remodeled structure in an existing neighborhood to assure to the greatest extent practicable that the resulting structures are compatible with the neighborhoods within which they are located and consistent with applicable laws and regulations. The intent of this Article is to regulate the development or redevelopment of each building site with respect to adjacent land, public or private, and existing structures so as to maximize visually pleasant relationships, assure a bright, open neighborhood with a maximum of light and air, and avoid the unpleasant appearance of crowding one structure against another, or of one structure towering over another, insofar as is reasonable and practical. It is not the intent to dictate to an individual property owner the type of structure or addition he may wish to place or modify on his property. It is the intent, however, to assure that the new or modified structure does not unreasonably impact on adjacent property owners and the compatibility of structures in the neighborhood. The regulations in this Article are in addition to the requirements of other regulations or ordinances of the City, and, where in conflict, the more restrictive regulation shall apply.

(Ord. 262, 2-8-93)
