In addition, ancillary commercial uses as well as medical and professional offices may be allowed when found to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The R-H zone implements the High Density Residential General Plan land use designation.

Where a uniform setback which differs from the above standard exists on the block or cul-de-sac, the setback shall conform to the established setback of the block or cul-de-sac.

Setbacks facing alleys may be reduced to zero where determined by the Director to allow adequate maneuverability for emergency and waste vehicles and where no garage access is required.

A front porch may project into the required front setback up to six feet in order to provide a covered porch that is open on three sides and parallel to the street frontage.

Flag lots are prohibited in residential zones, except when an alternative method of access, such as a legal easement, is approved by the Director or otherwise allowed by state law.
