under site development review.
■ Canyons
o Specify that utilities permitted in Area C are
underground utilities only. No overhead electrical and
power utilities are permitted.
o Several houses in the canyons have experienced
additional development beyond the development areas
indicated. The development line should be extended
further beyond the proposed development line to ensure
adequate property rights and the opportunity for
expansion.
o Some of the development restricted areas do not
include the creek bottom. Examine methodologies to
create the development line based on the centerline of
the creek.
o State and federal regulations for environmental and
waterway protection apply in the canyons. Designation
of these areas a very high hazard severity zones in
these areas is pending.

Draft Zoning Code Review
Agenda Item 3A
June 10, 2009
Agenda Item 3A - Revised Bluff Development Regulations
Based on direction received from the Committee at the March 18h and 25`h meetings, staff has
prepared revised bluff regulations. Canyon regulations will be presented at a later date (see
agenda item 2B). Attached for your review are the following:
1. Revised Draft Bluff Regulations
2. Site Development Review — Review criteria and findings (as approved by the
Committee)
3. Non -Conforming Structure Regulations (as approved by the Committee)
4. Bluff related General Plan policies
5. Bluff development area color maps showing development areas that correspond with the
draft regulations
Staff is proposing that a Bluff and Canyon Overlay District be created to provide for easier
identification of lots subject to these regulations. The draft regulations identify "development
areas" for the purpose of regulating the placement of structures. Development area boundaries
are described in the text of the ordinance and shown on maps. There are three development
area categories (see draft code for details):
Development Area A - Principal and accessory structures
Development Area B - Accessory structures
Development Area C — Limited accessory structures
Based on Committee direction, some geographic areas were given specific "additional
regulations" to tailor regulations specific to a geographic area. An example of this is limiting the
height of all structures in the Breakers Drive geographic area to 52 feet MSL (NAVD88).
The draft regulations include Site Development Review process to provide a path for relief to
allow structures or grading not otherwise permitted. The following are the review criteria and
findings for Site Development Review from the draft zoning code.
(1)Revised Draft Bluff Regulations
A. Applicability. This Section applies to lots located within the Bluff and Canyon Overlay
District. All development must comply with all applicable regulations (e.g. setbacks,
height) of the underlying zoning district. In situations where an inconsistency occurs, the
most restrictive regulation prevails.
B. Development area defined. An area delineated for the purpose of regulating the
placement and location of structures. Each lot within the Bluff and Canyon overlay
specified geographic area shall be divided into two or more development areas.
Development areas are delineated on the Development Area Maps consistent with the
development areas in C, below.
1. Development Area A - Principal and accessory structures. Area A allows for the
development and use of principal and accessory structures. Accessory structures
allowed in Area B and Area C are allowed in Area A.
2. Development Area B - Accessory structures. Area B allows for the development
and use of accessory structures listed below. Principal structures are not allowed.
a. The following accessory structures are allowed in Area B:
• decks
• gazebos
• outdoor play equipment
• patios
• detached or attached patio covers (solid or lattice)
• platforms
• porches
• spas and hot tubs
• swimming pools
• terraces
• fences, walls and retaining walls (6 -foot maximum height)
• barbeques
• firepits and fireplaces
• similar structures
• Accessory structures allowed in Area C are allowed within Area B.
b. The following regulations apply to Area B:
• Covered accessory structures (e.g., trellis, gazebos, patio covers) shall not
exceed 12 feet in height from existing grade or finished grade or exceed 400
square feet in area.
• Retaining walls shall be horizontally separated (stepped) by a distance equal
to the height of the retaining wall at the lower elevation (see figure XX).
3. Development Area C — Limited accessory structures. Area C allows for the
development and use of limited accessory structures. The following accessory
structures are allowed in Area C:
• property line fences and walls, not including retaining walls
• on -grade stairways
• building code required guardrails and handrails
• on -grade trails
• benches
• drainage devices
• underground utilities
• landscaping/irrigation systems
• similar structures.
C. Location of development areas. The development areas are listed below and depicted
in the referenced map exhibits. The placement of structures and grading is limited by

H. Adjustment of Development Area Boundary.
Minor adjustment of a development area(s). The Planning Director may
administratively adjust the boundary when the strict application of a development
area based upon the graphic exhibit creates a circumstance contrary to the intent
and purpose of this Section.
2. Reduced development area(s). A bluff development area shall be reduced
whenever necessary to:
a. Ensure safety and stability against slope failure (i.e., landsliding) for the
economic life of a development. At a minimum, the development area
shall be adjusted to ensure a slope stability factor greater than or equal to
1.5 at the end of the economic life of the development for the static
condition of the bluff or canyon or a factor of safety greater than or equal
to 1.1 for the seismic condition of the bluff or canyon, whichever is further
landward; and
b. Ensure that the principal structures are safe from hazards due to
erosional factors for the economic life of the building.
3. Increased development area(s). A development area(s) boundaries may be
adjusted through the approval of a Site Development Review (Section xx-xx-xx)
to permit structures and grading not otherwise allowed. In addition to the Site
Development Review findings, the following findings must be made:
a. The increased bluff or canyon development area ensures a slope stability
factor safety greater than or equal to 1.5 at the end of the economic life of
the development for the static condition of the bluff or canyon or a factor
10
C.
on
of safety greater than or equal to 1.1 for the seismic condition of the bluff
or canyon, whichever is farther landward; and
The increased bluff or canyon development area will provide adequate
protection from erosion factors for the economic life of the development,
and
The increased bluff or canyon development area is compatible and
consistent with surrounding development.
The increased bluff or canyon development area will not have an impact
on public views, sensitive habitat areas and is not otherwise detrimental
to the community.
(2)Site Development Review Criteria and Findings
The following criteria shall be considered during the review of a Site Development Review
application:
(1) Compliance with this Section, the General Plan, this Zoning Code
any applicable specific plan, and other applicable criteria and
policies related to the use or structure;
(2) The efficient arrangement of structures on the site and the
harmonious relationship of the structures to one another and to
other adjacent developments; and whether the relationship is
based on standards of good design;
(3) The compatibility in terms of bulk, scale, and aesthetic treatment
of structures on the site and adjacent developments and public
areas;
(4) The adequacy, efficiency, and safety of pedestrian and vehicular
access, including drive aisles, driveways, and parking and loading
spaces;
(5) The adequacy and efficiency of landscaping and open space
areas and the use of water efficient plant and irrigation materials;
and
(6) The protection of significant views from public right(s)-of-way and
compliance with Section 20.30.080(Public View Protection).
Findings and decision. The review authority may approve or conditionally approve a Site
Development Review application, only after first finding that the proposed development is:
1. Allowed within the subject zoning district;
2. In compliance with all of the applicable criteria identified in Subparagraph C. 2.
c., above; and
3. Not detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger,
jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health,
interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the proposed development.

Agenda Item 3B - Canyon Development Standards/ESA - Update
Canyon Development Standards
The Buck Gulley and Morning Canyon regulations will be a comprehensive
strategy that will address development standards, resource protection issues and
take into account other regulations, such as fuel management. Given their unique
characteristics of each, staff anticipates different standards for Buck Gulley and
Morning Canyon.
Based on direction received from the Committee at the April 15th staff will also be
proposing changes to applicable General Plan policies. Planning staff is waiting
to hear whether both canyons will be recommended for designation as Very High
Severity Zones. Whether or not that designation occurs will have an impact on
how drafting some of the regulations is approached. Staff will keep the
Committee posted on our progress in the coming weeks.
Environmental Study Areas (ESAs)
The Chambers Group is currently working on review criteria and regulations to be
used when development is proposed adjacent to a mapped ESA. Once this
completed, staff will incorporate the standards into the next draft of the draft
code.
