3 Answers from Attorneys
This is one of those Google job interview questions, right? Like how much to wash all the windows in Seattle? The answer depends on where in Riverside County which stretches all the way to the border of Arizona. Any locality where you would want to build more than one home on 5 acres probably has a General Plan, a planning commission, and permit consultants with their hands out.

However many the Planning Dept says, based upon zoning restrictions on that Map. If you have a serious legal dispute, hire an attorney to take appropriate legal action, if there is valid basis for your claim.
How long is a piece of string?
There are parts of the county where five acres isn't enough for even one house.
In cities, there are undoubtedly blocks where lots of less than 4,368 square feet would be legal, allowing ten houses per acre.
