Brea Hillside Ordinance

Brea, CA

The objective of creating a zoning ordinance for the City of Brea’s hillsides was to create standards for hillside development that maintain the integrity of the hillsides’ natural characteristics and features while addressing development challenges present in hillside settings. Criteria and standards were tailored to the City’s unique setting and geography and guidelines were established to protect the natural and biological resources for the long term benefit of the City and its constituents. The ordinance included principles relating to subdivision, landscape and architectural design to promote hillside compatible development. The collaborative design team includes Hunsaker & Associates and Cotton Bridges Associates.
