Zones where a duplex can go
Stanton's code calls this use “Two-Family Dwellings”. 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.
| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| RM | Allowed | § 20.210.020 |
| RH | Allowed — see note Note (3): Affordable housing projects for lower income (very low and low income) households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, that meet the provisions of Section 65583.2 of the Government Code and the Residential Land Resources Appendix of the General Plan Housing Element, are permitted by right in the RH (High Density Residential) zone, and may be developed at a density of 30 du/ac or greater. High Density Residential housing projects that do not meet the provisions stated above are subject to a conditional use permit and the density standards identified in § 20.10.040 of the Stanton Municipal Code. | § 20.210.020 |
Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- State law: SB 9 (Gov. Code § 65852.21) allows two homes on most single-family lots with a ministerial permit, also where this table says no.
- Not covered here: Mixed-Use Overlay Zones GLMX, NGMX, SGMX (Table 2-11) are overlays, not base zones; Zone names are not stated in the packet text. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
