Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Rolling Hills Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.
Zones where a single-family home can go
Rolling Hills's code calls this use “Single-family residence”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
Zones where it is not allowed
PF.
What else applies
- State law: State law lets most single-family lots add an ADU and a JADU (California ADU law) and a second home or a lot split under SB 9 (Gov. Code § 65852.21).
- Not covered here: Rancho Del Mar Housing Opportunity Overlay (S7) allows affordable multi-family, senior housing, emergency shelter, SRO, daycare, schools; it is an overlay, not a base zone.; Appendix A and the zone chapters govern together; in a conflict the chapters win (S1, S8).. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
