The following standards include existing subdivisions (urbanizaciones) located in low, medium, and high-density zones, as well as areas defined as residential by this plan.
11.1. Ancillary or complementary uses to housing. Residential zones are lands predominantly intended for housing use; however, the Regulatory Plan contemplates some complementary or ancillary uses to the housing sectors, meeting the daily needs of the community, but under certain restrictions of size and location, as well as use, so that they do not cause parking, noise, or odor problems. These conditional uses include the following:
• Beauty salon.
• Store (Tienda).
• Bazaar (Bazar).
• Bookstore (Librería).
• Small grocery store (Pulpería).
• Pastry sale.
In general, small-scale commerce and services that can keep nuisances confined within the property.
These uses may only be located on lots facing the main street of the residential zone (national route or primary road of 14 meters) and may not have more than 30 meters of area. These uses will only be permitted as long as they have at least two parking spaces within the lot for exclusive use of the commerce.
Professional service offices will also be permitted within this category, as long as they belong to the homeowner and provide at least one internal parking space for exclusive client use, such as:
• Lawyer.
• Engineer.
• Architect.
• Dentist.
• Doctor.
Likewise, in these cases, offices may not have more than 30 m2 of area. Offices are not permitted in residential zones except those mentioned above.
The following uses will not be permitted within residential zones: medical service clinics, veterinary clinics, pool halls (pooles), billiards and electronic games, nursing homes (asilos), shelters (albergues), churches, courthouses, municipal offices, daycare centers (guarderías infantiles), private schools and educational centers, theaters, corporate headquarters, night and day clubs, massage parlors, cafeterias, bakeries and similar.
In new subdivisions (urbanizaciones), the use in accordance with the Regulatory Plan assigned to each lot must be defined on the master plan (plano de conjunto) approved by the Municipality, which cannot be subsequently modified or subdivided (fraccionado).
When the commercial activity complements a residence and is not the sole purpose for the building, the license (patente) will not be granted without first ensuring total functional and spatial independence between both activities.
In residential zones, only functional signs are permitted, with an area no greater than 0.5 square meters (1 meter x 0.50 meters), whose purpose is to draw attention to the activity offered on the same site where it is located. Only one sign is allowed per facade of the premises; however, on corner lots, the installation of one sign per side is permitted.
The sign must be aligned parallel to the front of the land and cannot project beyond the property line. Its maximum placement height shall be 3 meters.
In Medium-High Density Residential Zones (ZRMAD), High-Density Residential Zone (ZRAD), and High-High Density Residential Zone (ZRAAD), in the urban sector of San Antonio, commercial uses of no more than 100 m2 and offices of no more than 120 m2 will be permitted, as long as they have a minimum of one parking space per 50 m2 for both uses. Uses that are not complementary to residential use, such as bars, video games, pool halls (pooles), massage parlors, party halls and similar, will not be permitted within these zones.
11.2. Low-Density Residential Zone (ZRBD). The Escazú zoning map recognizes four sectors with these characteristics: one corresponds to the eastern area of Bello Horizonte; another to the area between Cerro Coyote and Cerro Palomas, extending to the "Le Monastére" sector. Slopes are steep, from 20% to 30%; runoff (escorrentía) is rapid, so care must be taken in land use. Therefore, a low density must be managed (17 dwellings/ha), so that this zone maintains low impacts from residential use. Another zone encompasses the Los Laureles and Los Rosales subdivision, which over the years has preserved the characteristic of single-family residential, and this condition is maintained within the Regulatory Plan. Likewise, the sector of the Maynard neighborhood, Calle Lanford and Calle Los Faroles, is maintained as low density, given the current characteristics of these neighborhoods.
11.2.1. Requirements. The minimum lot area shall be 600 square meters, but in the case of the existence of sewer service (cloaca), it shall be 500 square meters; the minimum frontage is 15 meters; the maximum coverage (cobertura) is 50% and the maximum height of buildings shall be 7 meters.

11.4. Medium-High Density Residential Zone (ZRMAD). This zone covers the residential sector between the urban quadrant of Escazú and that of San Antonio, which has average lots with a higher density than the Medium Density Residential Zones, making it necessary to provide regulations with parameters more suitable for the existing developments in this sector. The permitted density shall be 40 dwelling units per hectare.

Consolidated subdivisions (urbanizaciones) located within the area zoned as ZRMAD shall be subject to the standards of the High-Density Residential Zone (ZRAD), with the exception of height, which remains at 10.5 m.
11.5. High-Density Residential Zone (ZRAD). According to the zoning map, this is located in the northern part of the canton and also encompasses commercial areas with the aim of regulating residential zones within commercial ones, and is conceived as a population concentration area, as it possesses the best conditions for urban growth; slopes are low and the possibility of achieving excellent infrastructure is even greater. This zone will have a density of 50 dwellings per hectare. It comprises the Trejos Montealegre sector, the sector south of national route 105 (Vista Alegre, Anonos sector, a part of Bello Horizonte), and the sector north of the same route, old road to Santa Ana up to the sector of La Paco Shopping Center.
Within these zones, in the sector that appears affected by proximity to riverbeds, a minimum non-construction setback (retiro) of 10 meters must be left from the riverbank; moreover, to urbanize these zones, protective infrastructure works and fill (rellenos) must be carried out to increase the height of the land to prevent potential landslides (avalanchas) from flooding the urbanized land.
The sectors in Bello Horizonte within this category, prone to flooding by the Quebrada Quebradillas, will be subject to a special hydrological study to evaluate the acceptance or not of the proposed projects within those zones. Additionally, developments made in the central part of Bello Horizonte, having capacity problems for the discharge of rainwater within the Quebrada Quebradillas watershed (cuenca), must resolve the problem of stormwater conveyance outside the watershed of the mentioned stream.
11.5.1. Requirements. The minimum lot area shall be 200 m2, but in the case of the existence of sewer service, it shall be 180 m2. The minimum frontage shall be 10 meters; the maximum building height, 14 meters facing roadways of that width, and 11 meters when the roadway has that assigned right-of-way, except if it faces national route No. 121 (old road to Santa Ana), whose maximum height may reach up to 21 meters. The maximum coverage shall be 70%.
11.5.2. Setbacks. The front setback shall not be less than 2 meters; for side and rear setbacks, see article 9.5. Facing boulevards, the setback shall be 3 m of front garden. On national roads, the front setback shall be indicated by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MOPT).

In commercial zones where high-density housing is permitted, the standards specified for commercial use prevail.
11.6. High-High Density Residential Zone (ZRAAD). This is conceived as a series of high population-concentration zones to accommodate social interest housing solutions, for the economically less favored population of the canton. These zones will have a maximum density of 150 dwellings per hectare.
This category includes the following sectors that, due to their current socioeconomic and density characteristics, require special standards that allow them to be consolidated as zones of a higher density than the ZRAD.
The following sectors would be subject to the regulation of this zone, namely:
• In Guachipelín: Calle Boquerón (lots of the Jiménez Herrera and Jiménez Segura families), Calle Los Herrera (surroundings of San Gabriel Church), Calle Los Azofeifa (lots Chino Wong and Enoc Azofeifa).
• Carrizal Medio Sector: from the bridge to Barrio Corazón de Jesús.
• Urbanización Zárate Sector.
• Calle León in Bello Horizonte.
• Protti Lots: surroundings of La Hulera.
• Calle Los Reyes: between Calle San Miguel and Abastecedor Buenos Aires.
• Urbanización Manuel Antonio: between calle Sabanillas and Toño León lots.
• Calle Entierrillos Sector: surroundings of the old Municipal tank and the Arias Alvarado family.
• Acave 1 and 2 Sector.
• Calle Bernabé León and surrounding sectors.
Among these zones, for the sector that appears affected by the landslide threat area (according to the Natural Hazards map accompanying this Regulatory Plan), a non-construction setback (retiro) of 20 meters from the riverbank must be left; moreover, in the case of urbanizing these zones on lands adjacent to this 20-meter strip, protective infrastructure works and fill must be carried out to increase the height of the land, to prevent potential landslides from flooding the urbanized lands. The sectors within this category, prone to flooding by the Quebrada Quebradillas, will be subject to a special hydrological study, to evaluate the acceptance or not of the proposed projects within these zones. Additionally, developments made in the central part of Bello Horizonte, having capacity problems for stormwater discharge within the watershed of the aforementioned stream, must adequately resolve the problem of stormwater conveyance outside this watershed.
For the purposes of the Regulatory Plan, the term "social interest (interés social)" is defined for cases of subdivisions, segregations and/or constructions of family nuclei that, due to the characteristics of the land or construction, do not meet the minimum standard established in the sector where they are located, and which involves the only property in possession of the applicant for the declaration.
11.6.1. Requirements. The minimum lot area shall be 150 meters, but in the case of the existence of sewer service, it shall be 120 meters. The minimum frontage shall be six meters, the maximum building height, 10.5 m facing a public street, regardless of the right-of-way width, or facing an easement (servidumbre) of 5 or more meters in width. On an easement of less than 5 meters, the maximum height shall be 7 meters. 80% of the land must have a slope equal to or less than 10%. The maximum coverage shall be 75%. Signs may not measure more than 1.5 m2.

Height restriction on lands surrounding diplomatic headquarters. As a deference to the security that governments must provide to diplomatic headquarters (Vienna Convention), this Regulatory Plan imposes a height restriction of no more than two stories (7 m) on new constructions on lands surrounding diplomatic headquarters, provided that these are the property of the represented Government. This restriction shall apply within fifty meters of the lots that border the diplomatic headquarters.
12.2. Linear Commerce Zone (ZCL). This type of commerce has concentrated along the margins of national roads and is defined as a 50-meter strip along national routes 310, 121, 105, and 167, and the section of Calle Matapalo, south of Multiplaza, as indicated on the zoning map. On the section of the Linear Commerce Zone (ZCL) from the Paco Shopping Center to the cantonal boundary with Santa Ana, the conditional uses of the ZCL will be considered non-conforming, except for condominiums which will remain as conditional uses, due to the proximity to residential uses.
In the so-called "Milla de Oro", it includes the lots of the El Lago Shopping Center, encompassing the Hotel María Alexandra and the vacant corner lot on the north side of said Hotel.
On the section of the Linear Commerce Zone between the urban quadrant of Escazú and the sector 200 m north of the urban quadrant of San Antonio, the maximum height shall be 10.5 meters. In the sector between the Hotel Camino Real and the intersection of the Próspero Fernández highway and the road to Guachipelín (tunnel), the permitted height in the Linear Commerce Zone (ZCL) strip shall be 28 meters maximum, and in the sector of Calle Matapalo, it shall be 38 meters maximum.
12.3.1. Escazú Center Punctual Commerce Zone (ZCPCE). The minimum lot area shall be 200 square meters; the minimum frontage shall be 10 meters; the maximum coverage, 80%, and the maximum height of buildings, 7 meters. An additional 3.5 meters in height is permitted, as long as a minimum 6-meter front setback is left at the third-floor level, and with the approval (visto bueno) of the Urban Development Department that the project does not affect the urban and landscape visuals of its surroundings.
In the sector east of 5th Street of the urban quadrant, a height of 14 m is permitted.
The facade of buildings located in the quadrants that border the park and the San Miguel Arcángel church shall have an architecture consistent with the urban image of the sector; that is, of cultural association. This will allow the construction of balconies projecting up to one meter over the sidewalks, provided a minimum height of 3 meters above the sidewalk level is maintained.
The Plan Regulador declares this zone as a Heritage Value Control Zone (Zona de Control de Valor Patrimonial), so it is also necessary to consider the requirements of Article 16.5. The maximum area of signs (rótulos) per premises is 1.5 square meters; these are permitted only affixed to the facade and shall be of opaque material, with reflective illumination only. Signs that exceed the level of the building's cornice (precinta) (start of the roof or ceiling) are not permitted. For parking, see Article 12.2.3.
- Setbacks (Retiros). The front setback is not required, but a space of 2 meters wide for streets and 2.5 meters on avenues shall be required for sidewalk construction; regarding side and rear setbacks, see Article 9.5.
- Parking (Estacionamientos). One space shall be required for every 50 meters of commercial area. Lots fronting the roads proposed as future pedestrian routes anywhere in the Canton shall not be required to provide parking.
