Where is a single-family home allowed in Seaside?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Seaside Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

Seaside's code calls this use “Single-family dwelling – Detached”. 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.

• "Single-family dwelling – Detached, affordable restricted" is P in RS, RM, RH. "Townhome/Rowhouse" is UP in RS, RM, RH ("affordable restricted": UP, UP, –).
• 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: Coastal zoning districts CPOS, CVSC, CVSR, CMX/WBUVSP, CCRG, CCH, CTC (Title 18, Table 2): a separate coastal table where P means "principal use, coastal permit required". Cells for them are left out; the orchestrator can decide whether to add them. Only kennel and a few uses appear there (kennel: UP in CCH only).; West Broadway Urban Village specific plan (LCP Appendix C); Multi-family housing rows and other uses in the PI/OSR/OSC/M zones that have no row. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
