CHAPTER 8: COMBINING ZONES

(PD) PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (COMBINING ZONE)

408-01. PURPOSE.

To encourage a creative and more efficient approach to the use of the land; to maximize choice in the type of environment available to the people in the unincorporated area of Sacramento County; to encourage more efficient allocation and maintenance of privately controlled common open space through the redistribution of overall density where such rearrangement is desirable and feasible.

408-02. INTENT OF THE (PD) COMBINING ZONE.

To carry out the purpose as set forth above by providing the means of greater creativity and flexibility in design than is provided under the strict application of the zoning and subdivision ordinances while at the same time preserving the public interest, health, safety, welfare and property values. Various land uses may be combined in a Planned Development zone including combinations of residential, commercial, industrial, utility, institutional, educational, cultural, recreational, and other uses provided the combination of uses results in the balanced and stable environment. A (PD) zone may be combined with any other zoning classification except permanent agricultural or agricultural holding zones.

408-03. CRITERIA.

SIZE: A planned development, or unit thereof, shall be of sufficient size, composition and arrangement that its composition, marketing, and operation is feasible as a complete unit independent of any subsequent unit.
PERMITTED USES. All uses which are authorized in the basic zone(s) with which the (PD) zone is combined including uses which are authorized only with a Conditional Use Permit, provided the uses are approved and made part of the Development Plan as provided in this section. In residential developments the applicant must show that accessory commercial uses are intended to serve principally the residents of the development.
LAND USE INTENSITY. The planned development shall be at a land use intensity which conforms to the General Plan of Sacramento County and complements existing permitted uses in the neighborhood. If the planned development proposed indicates a greater intensity of land use than is permitted by existing zoning regulations, the applicant shall show that the design of the project merits such a change in zoning and will not:
1. Create traffic congestion in the streets which adjoin or are near the planned development;
2. Create a burden on parks, schools, and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned development;
3. Have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of neighboring property.
An increase in land use intensity shall be compensate for by additional amenities to be achieved by the amount, location and proposed use of open space and the location, design and type of development.

DESIGN STANDARDS. The Board of Supervisors after a recommendation by the Planning Commission may permit deviations from the standards in the basic zones with which the (PD) zone is combined provided the developer demonstrates by his design proposal, that the objectives of the General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance and this Ordinance will be achieved.
COMMON OPEN SPACE. The Planning Commission may adopt regulations to govern the amount, use and locate of open space. After development, the common open space may be conveyed to a public agency or private association. The Planning Commissions, prior to any conveyance of common open space, shall approve all agreements and instruments relating to use, maintenance and ownership thereof. The Planning Commission may also require the dedication of development rights or scenic easements to assure that common open space will be maintained. The Planning Commission may further require that instruments of conveyance or covenants or deed restrictions of associations provide that in the event the common open space is not maintained in a condition consistent with the approved development plan, the County may, at its option, cause such maintenance to be performed and assess the costs to the affected property owners or responsible association. If the common open space is dedication, conveyed or designed for use by the general public and so used, any assessment of maintenance costs shall be made by benefit areas which are not necessarily restricted to the subject (PD) zone.

408-04. PRELIMINARY PLAN.

PURPOSE. The purpose of the preliminary plan is to require the developer to demonstrate the feasibility and general design concept of a proposed development to the Planning Director or Planning Commission.
PROCEDURE. The initial step to be taken by the developer is to submit a preliminary plan to the Planning Director. The plan shall include:

Maps or drawings which may be schematic in form;
Proposed land uses; the approximate number of dwelling units; acres and population density for each area of land; existing uses of surrounding property;
Proposed circulation system, including both public and private streets;
Public uses including schools, parks, recreation areas, and other open spaces;
The use and general description of each different type of structure;
Nature of the applicant's interest in the land proposed to be developed;
Written explanation of the nature of the proposed development and the deviations from regulations otherwise applicable to the property;
Proposed sequence and schedule of development.

THE PLANNING DIRECTOR AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION. Within 30 days after submission the Planning Director shall review said preliminary development plan and meet with the applicant for the purpose of presenting its comments. The Planning Director shall either grant approval in principle of the plan as submitted, grant approval in principle subject to specified modifications which shall be included in any application for a (PD) District, or deny approval of the plan stating reasons for denial. The Planning Director or the applicant may request that the Planning Commission review the preliminary plan and approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the plan as submitted.

408-05. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND REQUEST FOR (PD) ZONE.

Within one (1) year after approval of the preliminary plan an application may be filed with the Secretary of the Planning Commission for a (PD) zone.

408-06. ACTION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE PROPSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND REQUEST FOR (PD) ZONE.

The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed plan and request for change in zoning. The Commission may recommend approval, disapproval, or conditional approval of the proposed plan and request for (PD) Zoning.
The Planning Commission shall not recommend approval of the proposed plan nor recommend (PD) Zoning unless there is evidence that:

The proposed development will carry out the intent of the General Plan;
The proposed development is of sufficient size and is designed so as to provide a desirable environment within its own boundaries;
The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area;
Any exceptions to the standard requirements of the Basic Zoning Ordinance are justified by the design of the development. In the case of residential areas the rearrangement of dwellings and the mixing of dwelling types shall be justified by larger and more useable open spaces;
There is adequate assurance that all public improvements will be installed at the scheduled times as required by the County Engineering Division;
There is adequate assurance that the development schedule will be met;
The existing or proposed utility services are adequate for the uses and population densities proposed.
