8 g�t�g COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: October 31, 2013
MEETING DATE: 11/4/13
ITEM NO.
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL y
FROM: GREG LARSON, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: INFORMATION REPORT — REVIEW OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY ZONE
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the Planned Development Overlay Zone and provide direction to staff if there is an
interest in additional research on or potential changes to the Town's utilization of PD's.
BACKGROUND:
In 2010 Town Council considered Planned Developments (PD's) and how PD Overlay Zones
should be addressed in the General Plan as part of the General Plan update. As part of that
discussion, Town Council incorporated the following definition in the adopted 2020 General
Plan to explain the intent of the PD Overlay, how it can be used, and that it applies to all land
uses in the Town Zoning Code.
Planned Development (PD) Overlay Zone. The PD overlay is intended to ensure
orderly planning and quality design that will be in harmony with the existing or potential
development of the surrounding neighborhood. The Planned Development Overlay is a
specially tailored development plan and ordinance which designates the zoning
regulations for the accompanying project, sets specific development standards, and
ensures that zoning and the General Plan are consistent. Commercial, residential, or
industrial property or a mixture of these uses may be considered for a Planned
Development Overlay.
This year the Mayor has requested a conceptual discussion of PD's to ascertain if there is
Council interest in additional research on or potential changes to the Town's utilization of PD's.

MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Planned Developments
October 31, 2013
DISCUSSION:
Most of the implementing parameters of PD's are incorporated in Chapter 29 of the Town Code
(Zoning Ordinance) (Attachment 1). A PD is both a type of development and a zoning
classification for the specific development site. An approved development plan for a PD
constitutes the zoning restrictions for the property. Any substantial alteration in the physical
characteristics and configuration of the approved development, the plan and/or its performance
measures, would require that rezoning procedures be followed. The Town has approximately 76
active PD's (Attachment 6).
The basis for PD's is that when development standards and uses are drafted for specific zones, it
is unknown which parcels and future development might warrant an exception to the
requirements of the underlying zoning and zoning development standards. Many jurisdictions
throughout California use PD's (sometimes called Planned Unit Developments - PUD's or
Planned Communities — PC's), subject to specified criteria to meet unique parcel attributes to
achieve General Plan or other goals. Pursuant to the State of California Office of Planning and
Research, PUD's (PD's) are "land use zoning which allows the adoption of a set of development
standards that are specific to the particular project being proposed. PUD zones usually do not
contain detailed development standards; these are established during the process of considering
the proposals and adopted by ordinance if the project is approved." Although the Town Code
only requires conceptual PD plans, in recent years, developers have submitted very detailed PD
plans in order for the deciding body to fully understand their proposal and to reduce the
processing time to obtain Architecture and Site approvals.
Although variances are an option to deviate from development standards, pursuant to State law, a
variance cannot be granted to allow a land use which is not otherwise allowed for the existing
zoning. In addition, there are very specific Town/State findings to grant a variance (Attachment
2) which in some cases would not be applicable for a PD. As an example, there is not a finding to
allow residential units to be clustered on a site to create a large open space area which would be
more environmentally sensitive or a better fit with the neighborhood. Variances are intended to
ensure there is ability to use a property, while ensuring that there is still strict adherence to the
standards of the zone.
Potential benefits of a PD include more efficient site design, preservation of amenities such as
open space and lower maintenance costs for the Town in that the property management
association is typically responsible for maintaining the private streets, sidewalks and open space
areas.
A. Zoning Ordinance
As noted above, most of the implementing parameters of PD's are incorporated in the Zoning
Ordinance (Attachment 1). As noted in the Zoning Ordinance, the purpose of the PD
overlay zone is as follows:
PAGE 3
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Planned Developments
October 31. 2013
Sec. 29.80.080. Intent.
The purpose of the PD or planned development overlay zone is to provide for
alternative uses and developments more consistent with site characteristics than
are allowed in other zones, and so create an optimum quantity and use of open
space and encourage good design. The PD zone permits establishment of a single
use or the integration of several uses not ordinarily possible only if use and
development is in compliance with a complete development plan showing
relationships of the use or uses to each other, to the district as a whole, and to
surrounding areas.
Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, PD's are only permitted for parcels of 40,000 square feet
or more, unless the purpose of the PD is to provide housing for low income seniors, in which
case there is no minimum lot area. In addition, pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, PD's
cannot be used to exceed the allowable density limits of the land use element of the general
plan or any specific plan [Note: Pursuant to Action HOU -1.3 of the Town's Housing Element
of the General Plan, Below Market Price units are not included when calculating density for a
property]. What can be established in PD's includes, but is not limited to: setbacks, lot
coverage, FAR, height, parking, and public /private open space. Attachment 3 is a survey of
jurisdictions regarding their intent/purpose of PD's and lot size restrictions for comparison
purposes. Attachment 4 is a list regarding Town Code requirements and policies pertaining to
PD's for Council's review in considering this matter which are not discussed in this report.
B. Development Policy for In -Fill Projects
The In -Fill Policy was adopted by Resolution 1993- 62.(Attachment 5). The policy contains
six requirements, three of which are applicable to PD's. Per the policy, an applicant is
required to demonstrate the benefit of a PD through excellence in design. The policy further
requires the PD process to be used to accomplish the following objectives:
• In -fill projects should contribute to the further development of the surrounding
neighborhood (i.e. improve circulation, contribute to or provide neighborhood
unity, eliminate a blighted area, not detract from the existing quality of life).
• An in -fill project should be designed in context with the neighborhood and
surrounding zoning with respect to the existing scale and character of surrounding
structures, provide comparable lot sizes and open space, consider garage
placement, setbacks, density, provide adequate circulation and on- street parking.
In -fill development should blend rather than compete with the established
character of the area.
In regards to the definition of an in -fill project, the Town has interpreted an in -fill project
as a development that occurs on any vacant parcel. The Town has also interpreted that
the redevelopment of an underutilized property could also be considered an in -fill project;
for example, a subdivision application for a two acre nonhillside zoned property that
contains an existing 800 square foot residence could be classified as in -fill. Since in -fill
projects and underutilized properties are not specifically defined, staff recommends
future work and actions to provide such definition for clarity and consistency.

CONCLUSION:
PD's can be a useful planning tool if used correctly. PD's are not intended to be used solely as a
variance from the standards of the zone. Town Council should evaluate the intent of PD's and
discuss the Planned Development Overlay Zone and provide direction to staff if there is an
interest in additional research on or potential changes to the Town's utilization of PD's.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This action is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no fiscal impacts related to this discussion.

(1) Have heretofore been repealed: 847, 967, 977 and 1123.
(2) Were repealed by Ordinance No. 1328: 855 and 992.
(3) Remain in effect, subject to the further provisions of this section: 938, 1053,
1061, 1067, 1077, 1109, 1110, 1121, 1129, 1172, 1216, 1247, 1275, 1279, 1281
and 1302.
(b)If a PD or RPD ordinance was in effect before the effective date of Ordinance No.
1328 and is not repealed by the provisions of this section, the regulations of such
ordinance (including regulations that may have been incorporated by reference to the
general provisions of a zoning ordinance then in effect) continue to apply to the land
designated therein. However, any change in activities conducted on, or any new
construction on land in such PD or RPD zone is subject to the regulations of this division.
See. 29.80.080. Intent.
The purpose of the PD or planned development overlay zone is to provide for
alternative uses and developments more consistent with site characteristics than are
ATTACHMENT 1
allowed in other zones, and so create an optimum quantity and use of open space and
encourage good design. The PD zone permits establishment of a single use or the
integration of several uses not ordinarily possible only if use and development is in
compliance with a complete development plan showing relationships of the use or uses to
each other, to the district as a whole, and to surrounding areas.
Sec. 29.80.085. PD and underlying zone alternatives.
A lot zoned PD or planned development overlay may be used either in the manner
provided in the PD zone or the manner provided in the underlying zone but not both; the
two (2) zones are complete alternatives. All of the regulations of the zone used apply, and
none of the regulations of the other zone, except in the situation where a PD zone is used
and the PD ordinance expressly incorporates provisions of the underlying zone. However,
once land is used in the manner provided in one (1) of the zones an election shall not then
be made to use the land in the manner provided in the other zone unless the land is made
to conform in all respects to the rules of the other zone. In this respect no nonconforming
use privilege exists.
See. 29.80.090. Proper subdivision required.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 29.80.085, land zoned PD or planned
development overlay may not be used in either manner provided in the PD zoning
ordinance or the manner provided in the underlying zone unless the land is subdivided in
conformity with the regulations of the applicable zone.
Sec. 29.80.095. Relationship of PD procedures to other ordinances.
Compliance with the provisions of this division does not relieve the applicant
from having to comply with the subdivision ordinance or any other applicable ordinance
of the Town. Subdivision applications shall not be filed for a PD until such time as the
PD overlay zone ordinance has been adopted.
Sec. 29.80.100. General provisions in PD zones.
Unless expressly provided otherwise in the PD or planned development overlay
zoning ordinance, the general provisions of this chapter which apply to all zones also
apply to PD zones. Every PD ordinance shall include a statement of the extent to which
the provisions of sections 29.40.015 through 29.40.070 and article V of this chapter
apply.
Sec. 29.80.105. Site area.
A planned development zone shall not consist of less than forty thousand (40,000)
square feet of contiguous site area unless the purpose of the planned development is to
provide housing for low income senior citizens, in which case there is no minimum site
area.
See. 29.80.1:10. Uses permitted.
All uses or combinations thereof to the extent specified in the official
development plan shall be permitted in the PD or planned development overlay zone.
Sec. 29.80.115, Density regulations.
In residential planned developments the official development plan prescribes the
density, which may not exceed the allowable density limits of the land use element of the
general plan and any specific plan.
See. 29.80.120. Adoption of official development plan.
The applicant shall file a preliminary development plan drawn to scale with any
application for PD zoning showing:
(1) A land use plan locating all proposed uses.
(2) A tentative site plan illustrating the following:
a. Building placement.
b. Open space, public and private; indicating how it is to be used.
c. Natural features such as creeks, major trees, bluffs, etc.
d. Sidewalks, paths and trails.
e. Parking areas.
£ Vehicular circulation.
g. Major features on adjacent property which affect the development
proposal or are potentially affected by it.
(3) Schematic architectural elevations of all buildings and structures illustrated in
relationship to each other and any major structures on adjacent property which are
affected by the development proposal or are potentially affected by it.
(4) Schedule for any phasing of development.
(5) Future lot lines, condominium units and easement areas, all subject to
subdivision approval.
(6) Tabulation of land area including the areas of
a. Entire planned development.
b. Public streets.
c. Private streets.
d. Driveways.
e. Land covered by buildings including garages and carports.
f. Landscaped public open space.
g. Landscaped private open space.
h. Uncovered off - street parking.
i. Net land after deduction of all public and private streets.
(7) Floor area of each type of occupancy (for example: shops, offices, warehouses
or dwellings).
(8) Proposed number of off - street parking spaces.
(9) Grading, soils, and geologic information.
(10) Proposed signing.
(11) Copies of any instrument or document such as covenants, conditions and
restrictions which are intended to be used to affect the subdividing of the land.
(12) Such other information as the Planning Commission or Planning Director may
require, which may include but is not limited to market analysis showing the need
for the planned development and its components.
See. 29.80.125. PD ordinance.
Any ordinance rezoning land to PD or planned development overlay shall
incorporate the preliminary development plan as the official development plan. Either
such ordinance, or the underlying zone, but not both, governs all development and use of
the land. The official development plan shall specify the total number of permitted
buildings, the categories of uses permitted, the total numbers of units of use, such as
shops, offices, warehouses or dwellings, streets, sign regulations, and the total number of
parking spaces or the formula by which the total number is to be calculated in such detail
as is appropriate, and shall include any other performance standards which the Council
determines are needed.
Sec. 29.80.130. Architecture and site approval.
In a PD zone architecture and site approval is required before any construction
work is performed, whether or not a permit is required for the work, and before any
permit for construction is issued. However, if the construction is to be done under the
regulations of the underlying zone, the regulations of that zone, including regulations
pertaining to approvals and permits, apply.
See. 29.80.135. Phased development.
Phased development shall be approved only if each phase is designed to stand as
an independent development and each meets the requirements of this chapter.
Sec. 29.80.140. Dedication prior to issuance of first building permit.
To assure that open space will be available for the entire developed PD or planned
development overlay zone, public sites and development rights for required open spaces
for any phase shall be dedicated in advance of the issuance of any permits. Dedications
for other purposes may be required before the issuance of the first building permit.
Sec. 29.80.145. Change in official development plan.
Changes in the official development plan shall be made by ordinance.
Sees. 29.80.1.50 - 29.80.210. Reserved.

VARIANCES
Sec. 29.20.170. Same — Findings and decision.
The deciding body, on the basis of the evidence submitted at the hearing, may grant
a variance if it finds that:
(1) Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of this ordinance
deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under
identical zone; and
(2) The granting of a variance would not constitute a grant of special privileges
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which
such property is situated.

TOWN CODE REQUIREMENTS & POLICIES
FOR PD'S NOT DISCUSSED IN REPORT
Housing Element of General Plan
Action HOU -1.3
Density Bonus: Continue to provide up to a 100 percent density bonus for developments that
include housing for elderly, handicapped, and/or very low and low - income households.
Eligibility requirements are as follows:
A. All housing projects on lots in excess of 40,000 square feet must be processed as Planned
Developments in order to receive a density bonus.
Zoning Ordinance
Below Market Price Program (BMP) applicability (note that a standard single family subdivision
would not require BMP units).
Sec. 29.10.3015. Application.
This division shall apply to all multiple - family dwelling projects, residential condominium
projects, condominium conversions, and to all residential planned development projects (division
2 of article VIII of this chapter) either approved after July 4, 1979, or whose approval includes a
condition requiring the provision of BMP dwellings. Projects in the R -1 and HR zones are
excepted from BMP participation. The exception does not apply if the project is built under the
rules of an overlay zone unless the rules of the overlay zone provide otherwise.

DEVELOPMENT POLICY FOR IN -FILL PROJECTS
�. In -fill projects should contribute to the further development of the surrounding
neighborhood (i.e. improve circulation, contribute to or provide neighborhood unity,
eliminate a blighted area, not detract from the existing quality of life).
2. An in -fill project should be designed in context with the neighborhood and
surrounding zoning with respect to the existing scale and character of surrounding
structures, provide comparable lot sizes and open space, consider garage
placement, setbacks, density, provide adequate circulation and on- street parking.
In -fill development should blend rather than compete with the established character
of the area.
3. Corridor lots may be considered if it decreases the amount of public street and is
consistent with objects #1 and #2. It must be demonstrated that a benefit to
surrounding properties is being provided.
4. The Planned Development process should only be used to accomplish objects #1
and #2. The applicant shall demonstrate the benefit of a Planned Development
through excellence in design.
5. Approval of an in -fill project shall demonstrate a strong community benefit and
findings of benefit shall be part of the record.
6. Recommend that any new development proposal be reviewed by the Conceptual
Development Advisory Committee.
