70-PD-8

Section 2 of Ordinance No. 534, as amended, is hereby amended to change the zoning classification of the real property described in Exhibit “A” to R-2-A (PD) Multiple Family Residential Zone (Planned Development).

Exhibits “A” through “F”, as herein generally defined, are made part of this ordinance and shall regulate the property described in Exhibit “A”. The exhibits are on file in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and are part of this ordinance as if fully set forth herein:

”E” - Elevation drawings and floor plans for typical dwelling units.

The word “unstable” in subdivision (E) seems to be a typographical error present in the original adopted ordinance. It is likely the intent was the word “usable.”

During the public hearings on this ordinance the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors determined that:

  1. The proposed development will carry out the intent of the General Plan.
  2. The proposed development is of sufficient size and is designed so as to provide a desirable environment within its own boundaries.
  3. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area.
  4. Exceptions to the Standard requirements of the Basic Zoning Ordinance are justified by the design of the development.
  5. The arrangement of dwellings is justified by larger and more unstable open spaces.
  6. There is adequate assurance that all public improvements will be installed at the scheduled times as required by the Public Works Department.
  7. There is adequate assurance that the development schedule will be met.
  8. The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the uses and population densities proposed.

The schedule for development of the property described in Exhibit “A” and as shown on Exhibit “B” shall be as follows:

  1. Construction of Phase No. 1 as shown on Exhibit "C" shall commence not later than twelve (12) months of the final approval of the Board of Supervisors of this ordinance.
  2. The schedule for construction of subsequent units shall be approved by the Planning Department. Construction for subsequent units shall not commence until the construction schedule for the subsequent units has been approved.
  3. Construction of the common area of each phase shall be contemporaneous with the construction of the dwelling units and other improvements in each phase. It is the intent of the Board of Supervisors that the residents of each phase shall have available to them the common area facilities in phase as soon as the dwelling units are occupied.
  4. Construction as used herein shall include landscaping.

Except as provided in Section 6, the location, arrangement, and setback of dwelling units, recreational facilities, private streets, parking areas, carports, and walkways shall be set forth in Exhibit “B”.

For dwelling units which have the narrow end of the unit adjacent to a public street, the minimum setback for said dwelling unit shall be twenty-five (25) feet. The minimum setback for all other buildings shall be twenty (20) feet.

Travel trailers, campers, boats, boat trailers, utility trailers and similar vehicles may be stored on the property described in Exhibit “A” provided such vehicles shall of of a size that will fit within a garage or carport.

It is the intent of the Board of Supervisors in adopting this ordinance to permit flexibility in the arrangement of the building types within the building groups described in Exhibit “B”. For the purpose of this ordinance and to carry out this intent the developer may construct any of the building types described in any of the exhibits herein provided that (a) the number of building groups remains the same as shown on Exhibit “B”, (b) the number of buildings within a building group does not exceed the number of buildings within the building groups as shown on Exhibit “B”.

Parking stalls designated on Exhibit “B” shall comply with the parking stall requirements as specified in Section 19 of the Basic Zoning Ordinance of Sacramento County, Ordinance No. 534, as amended.

Each dwelling unit shall be used as a residence for a single family and for no other purpose. No business of any kind shall be conducted in the residences with the exception of the business of the developer in completing the construction of the residences and disposing of same by sale, lease or otherwise. The developer shall also be permitted the use of model dwellings, which if altered for display purposes, shall be restored as dwelling houses upon the completion of the sales program.

All signs used by the developer in advertising the sales program or by individual dwelling unit owners for the advertisement of the property or dwelling unit for sale shall comply with the Basic Zoning Ordinance of Sacramento County, Ordinance No. 534, as amended.

Violation of the provisions of this ordinance, or exhibits made part of this ordinance, shall be deemed a violation of the Basic Zoning Ordinance of Sacramento County, Ordinance No. 534, as amended.

Minor deviations in location of dwelling units, carports, and outdoor parking shall be permitted if approved by the Zoning Administrator. The Board of Supervisors hereby authorizes the Zoning Administrator to make such minor changes and in so authorizing has determined that such minor changes do not constitute an amendment to the Basic Zoning Ordinance, as amended.
