SECTION 5. LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION OF BUILDINGS

Section titled “SECTION 5. LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION OF BUILDINGS”

The location, configuration and arrangement of the lots within the area described in Exhibit “A” shall be as shown on Exhibit “1”, except as provided for in this ordinance. The buildings within said area shall be located within said Lots and in the configuration as shown on Exhibit “3”.

The dwelling units constructed within the property described in Exhibit “A” shall substantially conform to the Typical Floor Plans set forth in Exhibits “4” and to the Typical Perspective as set forth in Exhibit “5” through “10”, inclusive.

It is the intent of the Board of Supervisors to permit the developer to construct any combination of the several floor plans shown in Exhibit “2” provided however:

  1. The number of dwelling units shall not exceed 83 units.
  2. The configuration of dwelling unit clusters shall conform to, and the number shall not exceed but may be less than, as shown on Exhibit "2".
  3. The number of dwelling units within each cluster shall not exceed but may be less than the number of dwelling units shown on Exhibit "2".

The Board of Supervisors recognizes that in construction of the project, minor deviations from the location and configuration of the project, as shown on Exhibit “2” may occur. The Board having considered this possibility has determined that insubstantial deviations from Exhibit “2” do not constitute an amendment to the plan and delegates to the Planning Director the authority to approve any such changes. But in no event shall the Planning Director permit an increase in the number of dwelling units or a decrease in the amount of open space as shown on Exhibit “A”, or a decrease in any distance shown on the Exhibits as minimum or any distance provided for in this ordinance as minimum.

The set back distances, the distances between the building clusters and exterior boundary lines of the Planned Unit Development shall not be less than the distances shown on Exhibit “2”.

Those distances shown on Exhibit “2” without ”+/-” thereafter, and those distances indicated in the tabulation on Exhibit “1” as minimum, shall be minimum distances.

The location, configuration, and arrangement of the private streets and drives shall be as shown on Exhibit “2”, except as otherwise provided for herein.

The minimum allowable thickness of the roadbed sections of said private streets shall be as provided in Section 9.03 - 9.01 of the County Improvement Standards adopted by Resolution No. 73-495 of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sacramento, and amendments thereto which establish the allowable thickness for 42 foot wide streets. The private streets and drives shall have a paved width as shown on Exhibit “2”, provided, however, that two lane streets shall have a paved width of not less than 26 feet, and single lane streets shall have a paved width of not less than 14 feet wide on straightaways nor 18 feet wide on curves. The vertical clearance between the finished surface of the private roadway and any wires, lights, poles, tree limbs, or other obstructions shall not be less than twelve (12) feet. The maximum allowable grade along the profile of any private street or driveway or at the intersection of any two private streets or driveways, or with a public road, shall be eight percent (8%).

The location and configuration of covered parking areas shall be as shown on Exhibit “2”, except that the dimensions of the parking stalls shall conform to the parking standards set forth in Chapter 15 of the Zoning Code of the County of Sacramento, Ordinance No. 1111. The number of parking spaces shall not be less than the number shown in the tabulation set forth in Exhibit “1”.

The parking or storage of commercial, industrial, or agricultural motor vehicles or trailers rated more than one ton capacity is expressly prohibited. No parking stalls shall be placed within twenty-five (25) feet of any public road right-of-way where the occupant of such space could back directly into the public street. Parking stalls shall be identified to correspond with dwelling units except guest parking which shall be identified for that purpose. Parking areas shall not be converted to other uses.

The landscaping and landscaped areas for the project shall substantially conform to the landscaping set forth in Exhibit “1”. The total landscaped area of the Planned Development may exceed but shall not be less than the area designated in the tabulation shown on Exhibit “2”, as Open Space. The developer or the homeowners association shall plant and maintain an area landscaped with trees, shrubs and lawn, at least 20 feet in width, along those portions of the boundary of the property which are adjacent to the existing public street and along the east side of the property.

Developer and/or the owners shall record a subdivision map of the property described in Exhibit “A”.

No site preparation or construction work of any kind shall be commenced until a tentative subdivision map has been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission.

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 Sacramento County Zoning Code, Ordinance No. 1111, are justified by the design of the development.
  5. The arrangements of dwellings and mixing of dwelling types is justified by larger and more usable 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 or proposed utility services are adequate for the uses and population densities proposed.

The variance provision of Article 1, Chapter 18, of the Sacramento County Zoning Code, Ordinance 1111, shall not apply to this ordinance.
