SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 92101 The City of San Diego is experiencing a marked increase in requests for Planned Residential Developments, Our ordinance states that the purposes of Planned Residential Developments are to "facilitate development of areas designated for residential use in adopted community plans; to encourage imaginative and' innovative planning of residential neighborhoods offering a wide variety of dwelling unit types and site arrangements with well integrated community facilities and services; and to permit greater flexibility in design of residential neighborhoods than is possible through strict application of conventional zoning and subdivision regulations." Our typical project utilizes relatively narrow private roadways that do not provide on -street parallel parking normally found in one family residential subdivisions. Accordingly, we are attempting to develop reasonable parking requirements that will satisfy the parking demands generated by the project while not unnecessarily increasing the paved areas of the community. With your cooperation, together with that of your fellow planning directors, we are preparing a summary of parking practices in Planned Residential Developments (or comparable projects) in California, If you desire, we will be pleased to send a copy of the summary to you. Please be assured that your confidence will be respected. As indicated on the attached form, any additional comments,• especially with respect to actual projects and their associated operational experiences, will be sincerely appreciated. Also enclosed is a postage paid return envelope. it would facilitate several pending projects if your reply would be returned to Mr. William Schempers, Jr., Associate Traffic Engineer, City Operations Building, Station 402, 1222 First Avenue, San Diego, California 92101 by April 15, 1971.

R t RESOLUTION OF POLICY 1963 - 1 STATEMENT OF POLICY, OBJECTIVES, AND PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE IN THE GRANTING OF APPROVAL OF PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN NEWPORT_BEACH, CALIFORNIA Adopted /1963 at a Regular Meeting of the Planning C fission of the City of Newport Beach. It is appropriate to enlarge upo Article IX, Chapter 8 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code concerning Planned Residential Developments. It is one of the latest additions to the Planning and Zoning Ordinance and a relatively new concept in urban development. Therefore, certain limits of flexibility which this Planning Commission wishes to define and encourage, and various possible uses of the Planned Residential Development that need to be explained further are given. GENERAL POLICY -The use of the Planned Residential Development can provide the residents of this City with a more varied and interesting urban pattern. -There is need to encourage the reservation of open space for scenic and recreational use of a private or public nature. -The following objectives and principles are adopted and declared for the guid-' ance of the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach in the granting of approval of Planned Residential Developments pursuant to Article IX, Chapter 8, con- cerning Planned Residential Developments in the Municipal Code: 1. To produce an environment of stable, desirable character compatible to areas surrounding the Planned Residential Development. 2. To encourage developers to use a more creative approach in the development of land than would be possible through the strict application of the subdivision ordinance. 3. To encourage a more efficient, aesthetic and desirable use of open areas. 4. To encourage developers to use a flexible design which meets standards of density, open space, light and air, pedestrian and vehicular access and traffic circulation. 5. To encourage variety in the physical development pattern of the City. 1. The gross population density and building coverage (40% maximum building coverage) of any area proposed for development under the Planned Residential Development approach is to remain unchanged and conform to the basic overall density and building coverage requirements of the zoning district in which it is located. However, lot dimensions, building setbacks and lot area requirements do not have to meet the specific ordinance requirements, providing that a more functional and desirable use of the property is made. 2. The maximum building coverage for the development shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the land area being developed, exclusive of land area being set aside for the rights -of -way of public or private streets and alleys. 3. A variety of dwelling and building types is to be encouraged providing that drawings are submitted that show that the relationship of interior and exterior living or working area is desirable and adequate and that the living and working environment is just as desirable as the strict requirements of the ordinance. 4. The "Planting" or "Utility Strip" between the curb and sidewalk may be eliminated and an equal amount of land area placed into the open space for park recreational and related uses. Then either an integral curb, gutter and sidewalk treatment or an acceptable sidewalk plan may be developed. However, integral curb, gutter, and side- walk treatment cannot be used on primary or major thoroughfares or parkways. AREAS WITHIN PLANTING STRIPS CANNOT BE ELIMINATED TO ENABLE LARGER LOT SIZES, OR MORE DWELLING UNITS. 5. All areas proposed for dedication to the City under the Planned Residential Development approach must be acceptable as to shape, size and location, as required by the Planning Commission. 6. Rights -of -way for water courses and other similar channels are not acceptable for space exchanges under the Planned Residential Development. 7. A possible clustering of dwellings may be accomplished through a reduction of lot area with overall density remaining the same, with the provision that open, recreation space, or the "commons" shall be preserved by agreement with the City whereby the Developer creates real covenants and restrictions guaranteeing preservation of the open space for park, recreational and related uses. 8. Public utility and other similar easements cannot be used for a space exchange under the Planned Residential Development approach. 9. Development is encouraged to make a better use of required open space by varying the setbacks, if it can be shown that the development results in a more efficient and desirable use of space. 10. The developer is encouraged to obtain a trained, qualified and experienced professional to prepare plans for a Planned Residential Development, to enable the most expeditious processing of such a development. 1/ 11. There shall be two (2) covered parking spaces for each dwelling unit in the development, plus one additional off-street parking space for every two dwelling units. Grouping of required parking is encouraged, and the use of hedges, walls, screens, trees, fences, and other materials and landscaping to buffer such areas from the recreation -dwelling unit sectors, is desirable. 1/ The use, by developers, of qualified professionals enables the Planning Staff to reduce the.time it must spend on Planned Residential Developments. - 2 - t ..

This study has lead to the committee's careful review of the specific proposal for a planned residential development presented to the Planning Commission by Mr. Don Woodward on August 4, 1960. As has already been reported, the general proposal to permit planned residential unit development is endorsed by this committee, but, in the opinion of the Land Use Committee, the specific plans presented by Mr. Woodward are unacceptable for several reasons some of which include:* 1. At the present time, the Land Use Committee feels that ownership of a planned residential unit development should remain single in character. Otherwise, the advantages in departing from the single -lot concept of planning are somewhat nullified. 2. The density proposed seems too high in relation to the surrounding area. Adjoining property on the north is R-1-B. This development could affect neighboring property adversely. 3. Off-street parking as provided is not easily accessible to the dwelling units served. 4. The request for private streets is unacceptable because of the problems which would result when surrounding areas were developed and in providing city services. 5. The common recreation area does not appear to be wall defined and is broken up by several dwelling units. 6. In some cases, the land area for individual family units appears to be below the required minimum. 7. Information provided by the plans submitted is insufficient for a complete appraisal. This report is submitted by the Land Use Committee with the recommendation that the Planning Commission review the plans presented by Mr. Woodward and decide xnmx as to whether any action is required at this time. a, ri a (r) h. t Orange County Title Company -: MAIN STREET AT FIFTH, SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA • KIMBERLY 7.6892 ROBERT L.

Mayor w RESOLUTION OF POLICY 1963 - 1 STATEMENT OF POLICY, OBJECTIVES, AND PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE IN THE GRANTING OF APPROVAL OF PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA Adopted 1963 at a Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach. It is appropriate to enlarge upon Article IX, Chapter 8 of they Newport Beach Municipal Code concerning Planned Residential Developments. It is one of the latest additions to the Planning and Zoning Ordinance and a relatively new concept in urban development. Therefore, certain limits of flexibility which this Planning Commission wishes to define and encourage, and various possible uses of the Planned Residential Development that need to be explained further are given. GENERAL POLICY -The use of the Planned Residential Development can provide the residents of this City with a more varied and interesting urban pattern. -There is need to encourage the reservation of open space for scenic and recreational use of a private or public nature. -The following objectives and principles are adopted and declared for the guid- ance of the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach in the granting of approval of Planned Residential Developments pursuant to Article IX,, Chapter 8, con- cerning Planned Residential Developments in the Municipal Code: OBJECTIVES 1. To produce an environment of stable, desirable character compatible to areas surrounding the Planned Residential Development. 2. To encourage developers to use a more creative approach in the development of land than would be possible through the strict application of the subdivision ordinance. 3. To encourage a more efficient, aesthetic and desirable use of open areas. 4. To encourage developers to use a flexible design which meets standards of density, open space, light and air, pedestrian and vehicular access and traffic circulation. 5. To encourage variety in the physical development pattern of the City. PRINCIPLES 1. The gross population density and building coverage (40% maximum building coverage) of any area proposed for development under the Planned Residential Development approach is to remain unchanged and conform to the basic overall density and building coverage requirements of the zoning district in which it is located. However, lot dimensions, building setbacks and lot area requirements do not have to meet the specific ordinance requirements, providing that a more functional and desirable use of the property is made. 2. The maximum building coverage for the development shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the land area being developed, exclusive of land area being set aside for the rights -of -way of public or private streets and alleys. 1- 3. A variety of dwelling and building types is to be encouraged providing that drawings are submitted that show that the relationship of interior and exterior living or working area is desirable and adequate and that the living and working environment is just as desirable as the strict requirements of the ordinance. 4. The "Planting" or "Utility Strip" between the curb and sidewalk may be eliminated and an equal amount of land area placed into the open space for park recreational and related uses. Then either an integral curb, gutter and sidewalk treatment or an acceptable sidewalk plan may be developed. However, integral curb, gutter, and side- walk treatment cannot be used on primary or major thoroughfares or parkways. AREAS WITHIN PLANTING STRIPS CANNOT BE ELIMINATED TO ENABLE LARGER LOT SIZES, OR MORE DWELLING UNITS. 5. All areas proposed for dedication to the City under the Planned Residential Development approach must be acceptable as to shape, size and location, as required by the Ylanning Commission. 6. Rights -of -way for water courses 'and other similar channels are not acceptable for spaae,&xchanges under the Planned gesidential Development. 7. A possible clustering of dwellings may be accomplished through a reduction of lot area with overall density remaining the same, with the provision that open, recreation space, or the "commons" shall be preserved by agreement with the City whereby the Developer creates real covenants and restrictions guaranteeing preservation of the open space for park, recreational and related uses. 8. Public utility and other similar easements cannot be used for a space exchange under the Planned Residential Development approach. 9. Development is encouraged to make a better use of required open space by varying the setbacks, if it can be shown that the development results in a more efficient and desirable use of space. 10. The developer is encouraged to obtain a trained, qualified and experienced professional to prepare plans for a Planned Residential Development, to enable the most expeditious processing of such a development. 1/ 11. There shall be two (2) covered parking spaces for each dwelling unit in the development, plus one ,additional off-street parking space for every two dwelling units. Grouping of required parking is encouraged, and the use of hedges, walls, screens, trees, fences, and other materials and landscaping to buffer such areas from the recreation -dwelling unit sectors, is desirable. 1/ The use, by developers, of qualified professionals enables the Planning Staff to reduce the,time it must spend on Planned Residential Developments. - 2 - RESOLUTYON OF POLICY 1963 - 1 l STATEMENT OF POLICY, OBJECTIVES, AND PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE IN THE GRANTING Ity, OF APPROVAL OF PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA Adopted C j -/,_ 1963 at a Regular Meeting of the Planningission of the City of Newport Beach. it is appropriate to enlarge upon Article IX, Chapter 8-of the Newport Beach Municipal Code concerning Planned Residential Developments.
