CABO single family dwelling code is a little garbled.  It reads
(p237, sec. 3808.2) "The slope of the lines shall be at least 
but not more than [sic] one-half unit vertical in 100 units horizontal
(0.5 percent) or less than one-fourth unit vertical in 100 units
horizontal (0.25 percent)."

I suspect they meant to write that the slope should be between 0.25%
and 0.5%.
