20.44.065 Planned Development Combining District: (PD) A. Origin of Regulations. The PD combining regulations set forth in this Section are adapted from the County of Orange Zoning Code in order to provide continuity of land use regulation for properties which were designated as “PD” under County jurisdiction prior to annexation to the City. Thus, the applicable PD regulations and map designations have been carried forward in this City Specific Plan via the following text and the Specific Plan #7 Land Use Map (Exhibit 20.44-1). B. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this district is to provide a method whereby land may be developed utilizing design features which take advantage of modern site planning techniques to produce an integrated development project providing an environment of stable, desirable character which will be in harmony with existing and potential development of the surrounding neighborhood. The regulations of this district are intended to produce planned development projects which meet standards of open space, light and air, and density of land uses which provide for better use of common areas, open space and off-street parking facilities and provide for safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation. These regulations are intended to be utilized only for integrated planned development projects and should not be utilized for the establishment of individual land uses or structures unless they would become an integral part of an existing planned development. C. Application. In any district where the district symbol is followed by, as a part of such symbol, the letters “PD,” planned development projects shall be permitted subject to the regulations of this section. The district symbol shall constitute the “base district” and the PD suffix shall constitute the “combining district” indicating the additional permitted uses subject to the development standards as provided in this section and the provisions of the use permit required for all planned development projects. Projects which are not planned developments and uses or structures which are not part of planned developments shall not be subject to these regulations. D. Principal Uses Permitted Subject to a Use Permit. The following principal uses are permitted subject to the approval of a use permit by the Planning Commission per Chapter 20.91: 1. Uses permitted by the base district regulations. 2. Planned unit developments not otherwise permitted through base district regulations. 3. Any other use which the Planning Commission finds consistent with the purpose and intent of this District. E. Accessory Uses Permitted. Accessory uses and structures which are customarily associated with and subordinate to a permitted principal use within the same project net area, which are consistent with the design of the planned development project, and which are consistent with the purpose and intent of this district are permitted subject to a use permit approved by the Planning Director per Chapter 20.91. F. Prohibited Uses. Uses not permitted in this Section are specifically prohibited. G. Site Development Standards. The following site development standards are in addition to the site development standards of the base district unless otherwise stated below. 1. Building Site Area. For planned developments, the project net area shall be used. The size, location, and configuration of individual lots shall be determined by the required use permit and the tract map for the project. 2. Building Site Coverage. For planned developments, there shall be no maximum building coverage for any individual site. However, the project net area shall not exceed the following building coverage: a. 40 percent for residential projects. b. 25 percent for office and commercial projects. c. 35 percent for industrial projects. 3. Area Per Unit. For residential planned developments, there shall be no minimum land area per unit for any individual site. However, the project net area shall have an average land area per unit no less than the minimum area per unit required by the base district or per Subsection 20.44.025-B. (Note: This is normally designated by a number following the district symbol “PD” and enclosed in parenthesis on the zoning district map.) 4. Number of Dwelling Units. The project net area divided by the minimum land area per dwelling unit will determine the maximum number of permitted dwelling units for the project. 5. Building Setbacks. For planned developments, building locations need not satisfy the base district setback regulations but shall be determined by the approved use permit. Building locations shall be dimensioned on the use permit plans including distances between buildings and distances from streets and common driveways. 20.44.070 Commercial Stable Overlay District: (S) A. Principal Uses Permitted. Commercial stables, housing horses and ponies only, are permitted in areas designed with an “(S)“ overlay designation, subject to approval of a use permit by the Planning Commission per Chapter 20.91. No residential uses shall be permitted on the same building site as a commercial stable. B. Site Development Standards. 1. Building Height: 20 feet maximum, except for structures used for the storage of hay. However, in no case shall any structure exceed 35 feet in height. 2. Building Setbacks. Minimum setbacks for all structures housing animals shall be as follows (all other structures shall be located in conformance with the standards of the underlying base district (e.g. “REQ Residential Equestrian”)): a. Front Setback.: 50 feet minimum. Exercise areas, such as arenas, shall be set back a minimum of 25 feet. b. Side Setbacks: (1) Abutting all districts except BP District: 5 feet minimum. Exercise areas shall also be set back a minimum of 5 feet. (2) Abutting BP District: 25 feet minimum. Exercise areas shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet. c. Rear Setback: 5 feet minimum. Exercise areas shall also be set back a minimum of 5 feet. 3. Number of Animals: 25 animals per gross acre maximum. 4. Landscaping.

Such areas shall not include open soils, building, paving, gravel or any other assemblage of building materials upon or over the land. Landscaping shall be provided as follows: a. Boundary landscaping with a minimum depth of 20 feet along all property lines abutting a public street, except for the area required for street openings. b. Boundary landscaping with a minimum depth of 5 feet along all property lines not abutting a public street. c. An approved irrigation system shall be provided. 5. Building Design.
