Neighborhood Profile

This district is a very popular residential area because of its fine views and because of the quality of the houses. There is considerable steep topography within the area that is subject to subdivision. Appropriate techniques must be used in order to avoid excessive grading. Most of the developed lots are medium to large sizes, in some cases containing one or more acres. The General Plan recommends that this pattern of low density continue, and indicates the classification of two dwelling units to the acre for the majority of Eucalyptus Hill, with three dwelling units to the acre for the western portion which is characterized by existing development consistent with that designation. An excellent example of the manner in which a place of employment may be integrated into a quality residential area exists on Eucalyptus Hill.
