Firebaugh City Zoning Code
§ 25-17.1
Purpose.
a.
The purpose of the R-1 (TN) districts is to provide livable and pedestrian-oriented residential areas within Firebaugh where development is consistent with the Firebaugh General Plan and is generally limited to low-density concentrations of single-family dwellings. A key feature of the Traditional Neighborhood Zones is the review of architectural character of new dwellings, and emphasis on careful design to encourage a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood environment. Regulations in the TN Zones are designed to promote the following:
1.
An attractive and unique neighborhood design that ranges from streetscape to the residential dwellings themselves which will be designed to promote interaction with the neighborhood, including the use of front porches, and garages set back behind the front plane of the dwelling; and
2.
Encourage a suitable environment for family life;
3.
Provide space for community facilities, including parks, schools, churches and other facilities that will complement the residential environment;
4.
A circulation system that is pedestrian-friendly, is well connected to the community at large and adjacent residential developments, and provides for alternative forms of transportation;
5.
The conservation of valuable resources ranging from water to energy.
b.
A key feature of the R-1 (TN) zones is the review of the architectural character of single-family dwellings, to ensure that homes reflect styles that are historic to the San Joaquin Valley.
