1. PRD (Planned Residential Development). The PRD standards can be utilized on all land zoned SF-2 (single-family residential), MF-1 (multi-family residential). The standards allow for the development of single-family detached and attached units on residential lots which are smaller than four thousand three hundred fifty (4,350) square feet, by requiring the use of common usable open space within the development in either a neo-traditional, courtyard cluster or alley access site design. Per Chapter 16.56, a development plan must be filed concurrent with the request for a planned residential permit, and the proposed project must meet all requirements set forth in Table 2-X and Section 16.16.020.

Notes: (1) The standards below are for attached and detached single-family units. (2) The number of dwelling units in a planned development shall not exceed the density permitted by the underlying zone. The density regulations of the underlying zone may be applied to the total developable area of the planned development rather than separately to individual lots. In no case shall the density of the project be inconsistent with the general plan. (3) The front yard setback must be a minimum of ten feet to an architectural feature (ex: front porch or bay window). The setback for the garage door must be at least twenty (20) feet from the back of the sidewalk, or the back of curb if there is no sidewalk. Projects incorporating side-loaded garages may use a ten (10) foot minimum setback to the garage. See Section 16.16.030(A)(5)(a) below. (4) The total distance between structures must be at least ten feet per California Building and Fire Code standards. If any side yard setback is less than three feet, easements may be required on the adjacent property to allow for proper fire and emergency access. (5) See Section 16.16.030(A)(5) for additional design criteria. (6) Exception to Development Standards - See Section 16.44.160 (Accessory Dwelling Units) for lot coverage, setbacks, and square footage provisions as required per State law. | |||
