This zone is intended for low-density, single-family residential
development within the Lagunita community. Its purpose is to preserve
existing ocean views and privacy through residential development that
maintains both the community's terraced roofline profile and compatibility
with the immediate residential neighborhood with regard to mass, scale,
and height.

(B) Design Review.
(1) Intent and Purpose. The intent and purpose of this section is to
establish design review standards and controls over private development
in the Lagunita residential community. It is recognized that there
are unique design aspects inherent in the Lagunita community that
need to be preserved and enhanced, particularly with respect to preserving
existing views and view corridors. The design criteria, as established
herein, shall be utilized for all projects proposed within the Lagunita
Zone. Prior to any discretionary review by the city, the Lagunita
Community Association shall conduct its own project review. The Association
will submit a letter of comment to the city for its consideration
prior to the design review board's review of the applicant's plans.
The adoption of these design criteria will guide and ensure that all
future growth contributes to preservation of the Lagunita community
character.
(a) All buildings, structures, and improvements shall be evaluated on the criteria in Section
25.05.040, and on the following additional view preservation criteria: a prime consideration for the design review board in reviewing development applications including its landscaping shall be the maintenance of views and view corridors. For purposes of this chapter, a "view corridor" shall be defined as a vista or scenic field of vision enjoyed from a residence between and/or above other structures or buildings. Property development standards for the Lagunita Zone shall represent the maximum allowable building envelope. The actual development allowed might be less than that designated by the general standards for the Lagunita Zone because of localized conditions identified during the design review process.
