A. 
The Overlay and Combining Zoning Districts established in this Chapter are designed to supplement the use regulations and/or development standards of the applicable underlying Base Zoning District by recognizing distinctive areas of the city that have special and unique social, architectural, or environmental characteristics which require special considerations not otherwise adequately provided by the underlying base zone applicable to the property. The application of these Overlay and Combining Zoning Districts emphasizes the need for special attention in planning projects in the area governed by the overlay.
B. 
The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to all parcels of land located within the designed boundaries of an Overlay Zoning District as illustrated on maps contained in this Chapter and on the City Zoning Map. On the Zoning Map, Overlay Zoning Districts shall be designated by their representative symbol along with the Base Zoning District in a format determined by the Community Development Director. In the event of a conflict with the regulations of the underlying Base Zoning District and the Overlay Zoning District, the provisions of the Overlay or Combining Zoning District shall apply.
(Ord. 1501 § 1, 2011)

(Ord. O2017-2 § 1; Ord. O2018-24 § 1; Ord. O2021-15 § 2; Ord. O2022-13 § 1)
A. 
Purpose of the Planned Development Overlay Zone. The purpose of the Planned Development Overlay Zone is to establish a process for the consideration and regulation of areas suitable for proposed comprehensive development with detailed development plans and of those areas that require special planning to provide for appropriate planned development in harmony with their natural features and other environmental consideration.
B. 
Designation. Planned Development Overlay Zoning Districts shall be delineated on the Zoning Map in a manner similar to that of any other Overlay or Combining Zoning District. The assignment of the Planned Development Overlay Zone designation serves to provide a reference to the corresponding Planned Development Zoning document adopted by ordinance of the City Council. Applicable zoning regulations and standards applicable to the land area shall be provided in the Planned Development document and shall be adopted by reference in this Title.
C. 
Planned Development Overlay Zones Adopted by Reference. Planned Development Overlay Zoning Districts have been adopted as part of this Title by reference and are so designated on the Zoning Map of the City.
D. 
Allowed Uses. Allowed uses within a Planned Development Zoning District are those listed uses in the adopted Planned Development document. A Planned Development may reference the allowed use provisions of a concurrent Base Zoning District contained in this Title; however, in the event that there are conflicts between the provisions of the Planned Development and this Title, the Planned Development shall prevail. Where a Planned Development does not provide a listing of allowed uses, the regulations of the Base Zoning District shall prevail.
E. 
Development Standards. Development standards within the Planned Development Overlay Zoning District are those standards listed in the adopted Planned Development. A Planned Development Overlay Zone may reference the development standards of this Title, in which case the standards of this Title shall apply. Where a Planned Development is silent regarding a citywide standard (e.g., sign regulations), the City standard shall apply. Where a Planned Development establishes unique standards that are in conflict with the standards of this Title, the Planned Development standards shall prevail. When a Planned Development does not establish development standards, the standards for the equivalent Base Zoning District shall apply as determined and formally interpreted by the Community Development Director.
(Ord. 1501 § 1, 2011)
A. 
Purpose of 200-Year Floodplain Overlay Zone. The purpose of the 200-Year Floodplain (F-200) Overlay Zone is to comply with provisions of State law that require the City to make specific findings prior to approving certain projects located within a 200-year flood hazard area. The F-200 Zone establishes a process for the consideration and regulation of areas subject to 200-year flooding that require special planning to provide for appropriate development.
B. 
Designation. 200-Year Floodplain Overlay Zone Map delineates the extents of the F-200 Overlay Zone. The F-200 Overlay Zone, as shown on the zoning map is intended to comprise all known land subject to 200-year flooding within the City. All lands within the F-200 Overlay Zone shall be required to comply with all provisions of subsection C below.
C. 
200-Year Floodplain Overlay Zone Findings. The review authority shall not approve the execution of a development agreement, a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map is not required, or a discretionary permit or other discretionary entitlement that would result in the construction of a new building, or construction that would result in an increase in allowed occupancy for an existing building, or issuance of a ministerial permit that would result in the construction of a new residence for property that is located within the F-200 Zone unless the review authority finds, based on substantial evidence in the record, one of the following:
1. 
The facilities of the State Plan of Flood Control or other flood management facilities protect the property to the urban level of flood protection in urban and urbanizing areas;
2. 
The City has imposed conditions on a development agreement, map, permit, or entitlement that will protect the property to the urban level of flood protection in urban and urbanizing areas;
3. 
The local flood management agency has made adequate progress (as defined in California Government Code Section 65007) on the construction of a flood protection system that will result in flood protection equal to or greater than the urban level of flood protection in urban or urbanizing areas; or
4. 
The property is located in an area of potential flooding of three feet or less from a storm event that has a one in two hundred chance of occurring in any given year, from sources other than local drainage, in urban and urbanizing areas.
D. 
Exceptions/Exemptions. In certain circumstances, a project(s) or parcel(s) may contain a portion of land that is both inside and outside of the F-200 Overlay Zone. It is not the intent of the City to encumber or prevent the portion of the project(s) or parcel(s) that is outside the F-200 Overlay Zone from development. Under this circumstance, the review authority shall, after all other discretionary considerations, be authorized to execute a development agreement, a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map is not required, or a discretionary permit or other discretionary entitlement that would result in the construction of a new building, or construction that would result in an increase in allowed occupancy for an existing building, or issuance of a ministerial permit that would result in the construction of a new residence for property that is located within the portion of the project(s) or parcel(s) that is not within the F-200 Zone. The portion of the project(s) or parcel(s) within the F-200 Overlay Zone will not receive the full entitlements and rights under the discretionary action unless or until the review authority makes the appropriate findings under subsection C. This may require discretionary actions, including a development agreement, a tentative map, or a parcel map, to be phased or separated.
E. 
Definitions
