(A) Purposes. In addition to the objectives prescribed in § 156.002 of this chapter, PD Planned Unit Development Combining Districts are included in the zoning regulations in order to provide locations for well-planned developments that conform with the Local Coastal Program although the developments may vary except for application of the standards contained in §§ 156.050 through 156.056 of this chapter, from the zoning map and district regulations. The planned unit development provisions are intended to allow freedom of design in order to obtain development that will be an asset to the city and enhance coastal resources by equaling or surpassing the quality required by the regulations for the district with which a PD District is combined. A site may be rezoned to a combined district permitting a planned unit development provided the development complies with all of the regulations prescribed in this chapter.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29190)
(B) Combining districts. A Planned Unit Development District may be combined with an R, OR, C, or M District by a change of district to a Combined Planned Unit Development District in accord with the provisions of §§ 155.350 through 155.362 of this title, provided the findings prescribed in §§ 155.350 through 155.362 of this title are made. A Planned Unit Development District shall be designated by the letters PD following the full R, OR, C, or M District designation.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29191)
(C) Required conditions.
(1) Site area. The site shall be at least three acres in area and shall have a frontage of at least 100 feet on a public street, provided that the minimum site area requirement shall not apply to a redevelopment project as defined by the California Community Redevelopment Law. All of the site area shall be in one ownership at the time of a change of district to a Combined Planned Unit Development District; the site may include a combination of separately recorded properties.
(2) Site area per dwelling unit. For the purpose of determining the number of dwelling units permitted in a PD District, all street rights-of-way, or equivalent private vehicular accessways, and all areas occupied by landscaping, natural vegetation, or water, and available for the use of all residents of the PD District, shall be subtracted, and the remaining area shall be divided by the minimum site area per dwelling unit required in the district with which the PD District is combined. The maximum number of units that would be permitted if the site were not in a PD District may be increased by not more than 10%.
(3) Open space. In addition to the usable open space per dwelling unit required in the RM-2,500 District, a planned unit development containing dwellings shall include open space occupied by landscaping, natural vegetation, or water, and available for the use of all residents of the PD District, equal to not less than 10% of the minimum site area per dwelling unit in the district with which the PD District is combined times the number of dwelling units in the PD District. The Planning Commission shall require appropriate location, development, and provisions for perpetual maintenance of the open space to serve the needs of residents of a planned unit development.
(4) Additional requirements. Additional site development requirements shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(b) Vehicular and pedestrian traffic shall be separated, and pedestrian access shall be through landscaped areas, not through alley-like approaches.
(c) Buildings shall be placed so as to create a variety of open areas thereby eliminating a corridor or barracks-like effect.
(d) Walks, steps, parking areas, and recreation areas shall be lighted for safe and convenient night use.
(e) Parking areas and drives shall be designed to minimize traffic hazards and adverse visual impact.
(f) Desirable natural features of the site, including trees, shall be preserved where feasible.
(g) Landscaping shall be provided to enhance the appearance of buildings and grounds, to screen unsightly features, and to control erosion.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29192)
('63 Code, § 10-5.29193)
(E) Plans required. In lieu of the map required by § 155.281(B)(2) of this title, an application for a use permit for a planned unit development shall be accompanied by a plan of the entire planned unit development, drawn to scale, and showing the contours of the site at intervals of not more than five feet; provisions for drainage of surface waters; watercourses; railroad and public utility rights-of-way; streets, driveways, and pedestrianways; lot layout; schools, parks, playgrounds, and other open spaces; dwelling types; nonresidential uses; locations, elevations, and schematic floor plans of structures; locations and the design of landscaped areas. The application shall be accompanied by a tabulation of the area proposed to be devoted to each land use and a tabulation of the numbers and floor areas of each of the various dwelling types proposed and the net site area per dwelling unit. The Director of Planning may require additional information or drawings if necessary to evaluate the application.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29194)
(F) Conditional uses. A planned unit development shall include only uses permitted, either as permitted uses or conditional uses, in the zoning district with which the PD District is combined, provided that any use permitted in an RS or RM District as a permitted use or as a conditional use, or any combination of such uses, may be included in a planned unit development located in an R District.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29195)
(G) Status of approved plans for planned unit developments. The approved site plan for a planned unit development shall govern all development on the site. If approval is granted for subsequent division of the Planned Unit Development District into two or more parcels, the approved plan shall govern the development of each of the separate parcels.
('63 Code, § 10-5.29196)
(H) Subdivision of planned unit developments. The Planning Commission may approve the subdivision of a planned unit development into lots or as a condominium if the Commission finds that adequate provisions are in force to ensure the perpetual maintenance of all areas and improvements proposed to be owned in common, or to be maintained in common, and to ensure that additional development will conform with the approved plan.
