This provision shall not be construed as granting any right to the applicant to the maximum number of buildings
and units represented by the above density factors. The Planning Commission and/or City Council may, in order to
carry out the intent of this chapter, further limit the total number of buildings in the development and/or density of
buildings per acre of net site area.
5. Any single uncovered parking area shall not provide more than ten (10) parking spaces. A parking area
containing spaces on both sides of a common aisle shall be counted as one (1) parking area.
6. Carports and garages shall be attached to and made a part of a main building. No carport or garage shall
provide more than three (3) auto parking spaces.
7. No more than ten percent (10%) of the number of buildings in a development shall have a flat roof. All other
roofs shall be hipped or gabled.
The intent of this provision is to minimize the contrast between the architectural character of the development and
the typical or standard architectural style of single-family dwellings in the community.
8. All buildings shall be located on the site in a manner similar to the way residences might be located in the
zone in which the property is classified. For example, if PUD, they may be clustered; if single-family, they should be
laid out like a standard subdivision. To demonstrate this, the applicant shall submit, in rough form, a practical
subdivision scheme of the property with the proposed buildings shown thereon. Lot sizes, frontages, street
alignments, setbacks and all other aspects of such hypothetical subdivision shall be in accordance with applicable
Zoning Ordinances and Subdivision Ordinance requirements. (Ord. 3877, 1977; Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 3407, 1970.)
28.42.060 Setbacks.
Setback requirements shall be the same as in the base zone in which the property is located. (Ord. 5459, 2008;
Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 3407, 1970.)
28.42.070 Distance Between Buildings.
The minimum distance between buildings shall be the same as required in the basic zone in which the property is
located. (Ord. 3710, 1974.)
28.42.100 Off-street Parking.
Off-street parking shall be provided as required in Chapter 28.90 of this title. (Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 3407, 1970.)
28.42.110 Signs.
Signs shall be permitted as provided in the basic zone in which the property is located. (Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord.
3407, 1970.)
28.42.127 Regulations, Limitations and Restrictions.
The Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may adopt as part of the development plan, and
may require in the precise plan, requirements, regulations, limitations and restrictions more restrictive than those
specified elsewhere in this title, and designed to protect property values in the vicinity of the subject property and the
public peace, health, safety and general welfare of persons residing, working in and passing through the
neighborhood. (Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 3407, 1970.)
28.42.128 Termination of S-H Senior Housing Zone Classification.
Any ordinance amendment establishing an S-H classification under this chapter shall establish a time limitation
within which a precise plan or a substantial portion thereof must be approved by the Planning Commission, provided
that such time limitation shall not exceed two (2) years from the effective date of said ordinance amendment.
