The purpose and intent of this chapter is to provide regulations that preserve and enhance the residential characteristics for those areas so designated on the zoning map of the City. The R-1A(BF) Subzone is a subzone of the R-1A Zone with unique development standards due to the subzone’s unusual location relative to the San Diego Bay and public rights-of-way; topography; lot configurations; and unbuildable portions of the lots. The R-1A(BF) Subzone is intended to provide for neighborhoods consisting of single-family dwelling buildings with a minimum gross lot size of 7,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Density is six dwelling units per acre. (Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)
86.09.020 Permitted and accessory uses.
The following principal uses shall be allowed in the R-1A(BF) Subzone:
A. One single-family dwelling building (to include manufactured housing), on one lot, which conforms to minimum lot area requirements.
B. The following accessory uses are allowed in conjunction with the single-family dwelling building:
1. Incidental home occupations subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.08 CMC.
2. Accessory buildings subject to the provisions of Chapter 86.56 CMC.
3. Off-street parking in conformance with Chapter 86.58 CMC.
C. Small Rresidential care facility, supportive housing, and transitional housing.

RESIDENTIAL BAY FRONT SUBZONE
The Coronado Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2023-01, passed March 7, 2023.
D. Two-unit residential developments subject to CMC 86.56.180. (Ord. 2021-06 § 4, 2021; Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)
86.09.030 Measurement standards for “building height,” “grade,” “structural coverage,” “floor area ratio (FAR),” and “depth of lot.”
A. Lots Adjoining the Bay. The property owner of a lot adjoining the bay shall have the option of selecting either the “gross lot area” (as defined in CMC 86.04.325) or the “adjusted lot area,” for the combined purposes of “grade” determination, “structural coverage,” “floor area ratio” (or “FAR”), and “depth of lot” calculation. The “adjusted lot area” of a lot abutting the bay shall be the computed area contained within the lot lines less any panhandle area and less the area bayward from a line across the lot which is established at the discretion of the property owner on natural grade not created by landfill. If the property owner selects the “gross lot area” option, “grade” shall be the average ground level of the center line of First Street and the rear property line. If the property owner of a lot without street frontage selects the “gross lot area” option, “grade” shall be the average ground level of the front and rear property lines. If the property owner selects the “adjusted lot area” option, “grade” shall be the average ground level of the front and rear boundary lines of the “adjusted lot area,” and the “adjusted lot area” shall be used as “gross lot area” for FAR calculation (CMC 86.04.308 and 86.09.050) and structural coverage calculation (CMC
86.04.760 and 86.09.120).
B. Lots Not Adjoining the Bay but Adjoining the Frontage Road. For lots not adjoining the bay but adjoining the frontage road which runs parallel to and north of First Street, the “adjusted lot area” shall be used as “gross lot area” in the calculation of FAR (CMC 86.04.308 and 86.09.050) and structural coverage calculation (CMC 86.04.760 and
86.09.120). The “adjusted lot area” of said frontage road lots shall be the area bounded by the northerly curb of the said frontage road and the side and rear lot lines. However, if the entire lot area is 7,500 square feet or less and the calculated “adjusted lot area” is less than 70 percent of the entire lot area, then 70 percent of the entire lot area shall be used as the “adjusted lot area” for the calculation of FAR and “structural coverage.” “Grade” for said frontage road lots shall be the average ground level of the center line of First Street and the rear property line.
C. Lots Not Adjoining the Bay or the Frontage Road but Adjoining First Street. For lots not adjoining the bay or the frontage road but adjoining First Street, “grade,” “structural coverage” and FAR shall be determined as prescribed by CMC 86.04.308, 86.04.318, 86.04.760, 86.09.050 and 86.09.120. (Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)
86.09.040 Height regulations.
A. No building shall have a finished first-story floor or a finished floor directly above an underground parking garage or basement greater than 30 inches above “grade” as defined in CMC 86.04.318.
B. Main Buildings. Main buildings shall not contain more than two stories and shall comply with the following height restrictions:
Main Building Maximum Height Limit
< 3:12 Roof Pitch 3:12 – < 6:12 Roof Pitch ≥ 6:12 Roof Pitch 23 feet. 27.5 feet. 27.5 feet.

25 feet.
15% of the roof plan area may extend to 30
feet.
A maximum of 60% of the front parapet wall
may extend to 25 feet.
C. Accessory Buildings. Accessory buildings shall not contain more than one story and shall comply with the following height restrictions:
Accessory Building Maximum Height Limit
< 3:12 Roof Pitch 3:12 – < 6:12 Roof Pitch ≥ 6:12 Roof Pitch 11 feet. 14 feet, 4 inches. 14 feet, 4 inches.

86.39.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the Tidelands Overlay Zone (TOZ) is to specify development criteria for certain unique tideland areas and other properties in the City. These criteria are in addition to the requirements of underlying zoning and are designed to permit and encourage development in the TOZ in a balanced manner that preserves their unique open space and recreational potential while permitting new economically viable coastally dependent commercial/recreation use. For the purpose of this chapter, “open space” shall be defined by CMC 86.04.550, except that “open space” shall not include areas not open for public access, roads, parking areas, or other similar facilities.
In the event of conflict between the provisions of this chapter and the Coronado Municipal Code and zoning ordinance, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail. If any of the numbered section headings of this chapter are unavailable for use, other appropriate designations shall be assigned by the City Council. (Ord. 1438)
86.39.020 Properties designated.
All those properties shown on the map attached to the measure codified in this chapter shall be subject to the provisions of the TOZ.

All development in the TOZ shall comply with the following requirements in addition to the provisions of underlying zoning:
A. The total ratio for development of the entire TOZ shall not be less than 65 percent public parkland and public open space nor more than 35 percent commercial/recreation.
B. A minimum of 20 contiguous acres of the TOZ, exclusive of parking areas, roads, nonplaying facilities, and public shoreline accessways shall be improved and maintained for public park and playing facilities.
C. No more than one motel or hotel shall be permitted in the TOZ. Said motel or hotel shall be of the nonconvention type, shall be low rise, and shall contain a maximum of 300 rooms.
D. Public access to the existing shoreline shall be preserved throughout the TOZ by, at minimum, a 30-foot public accessway along the shoreline suitable for pedestrian and bicycle use.
E. No structure in the TOZ shall exceed 40 feet in height.
F. No development in the TOZ shall have a floor area ratio (the numerical value obtained by dividing the total floor area of a structure by the total lot area on which it sits) of greater than 100 percent, nor a structural coverage of greater than 60 percent. For purposes of computing floor area ratio and structural coverage, the acreage included in the 20 contiguous acre park and the acreage included in the 30-foot public accessway along the existing shoreline throughout the TOZ shall not be counted as part of any lot area.
G. Coastally dependent commercial/recreation development shall be preferred over other forms of new commercial/recreation development.
H. All new development in the TOZ shall be pursuant to a plan for development of the entire property owned or controlled by the applicant within the TOZ, and shall provide for the concurrent development of parks, public open space, and public facilities with any other permitted new development on property owned or controlled by the applicant.

J. Landscaping in the TOZ shall blend commercial/recreational areas with the public park and public open space areas, and all new development in the TOZ shall require a landscape plan approved by the Coronado Design Review Board or a City Council appointed community committee.
K. Pursuant to the authority of Section 87 of Appendix I of the Harbors and Navigation Code of California, direct vehicular access shall be provided, if feasible, from the Coronado Bridge toll station area to adjacent tideland area within the TOZ so that traffic impacts on City streets and services will be minimized. Such direct access shall be infeasible only if the City Council makes such finding supported by substantial evidence that specific economic, social or other factors make direct access infeasible.
L. Existing view corridors from City streets ends shall be preserved in all new development in the TOZ. (Ord. 1469)
86.39.040 Inclusion in local coastal program.
The provisions of this TOZ shall be included in Coronado’s local coastal program for approval by the Coastal Commission. (Ord. 1438)
