DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MDR ZONE
18-5.010 Purpose.
a. Intent. This section is intended to ensure provision of adequate off-street parking, considering the demands likely to result from various uses, combinations of uses and settings. It is the City’s intent, where possible, to consolidate parking and to minimize the area devoted exclusively to parking and driveways when typical demands may be satisfied more efficiently by shared facilities. Varying standards apply to the downtown area in accordance with subsection (h) of this section.
b. Parking and Driveway Design and Exceptions.
1. Parking and driveway design and requirements for permits shall be as provided in the parking standards adopted by Council resolution.
18-5.010 Purpose.

These areas are generally close to commercial and public facilities serving the whole community and generally committed to this type of development. The MDR Zone will be applied to areas designated “medium and high density residential” on the Clearlake General Plan Zoning Map. (Ord. #271-2025, S2 (Exh. A))
