Red Bluff City Zoning Code

ARTICLE XI

COMBINING DISTRICTS

§ 25.106 GENERALLY.

   The combining zoning districts established by this article provide guidance for development and new land uses in addition to the standards and regulations of the zoning districts, where important site, neighborhood or area characteristics require particular attention in project planning. The applicability of any combining district to specific parcels is shown on the zoning map as a suffix to the symbol for the primary zoning district.
