Development Zone unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
(Ord. 2585, 1957; Ord. 3710, 1974)
These regulations are intended to implement the orderly development
of land in conformance with the comprehensive General Plan of the
City of Santa Barbara, and in particular the provision for planned
centers provided therein, by providing for uses and restrictions other
than those contained in other zone districts in this title where justified
by one or more of the following circumstances:
A. Unusual
topographic conditions.
B. Proximity
to public parks, buildings, major traffic carriers, bodies of water,
watercourses, open spaces and other similar improvements or land features.
C. Disparity
between adjacent zoning district (e.g., single-family residential
adjacent to commercial) warranting special features to protect the
more restricted district.
D. Areas
designated by the General Plan for planned center or other special
or unique land use.
(Ord. 3710, 1974)
A maximum three stories not exceeding 45 feet.
(Ord. 2585, 1957; Ord. 3710, 1974)
A. Front

B. Interior
yards, lot area, frontage, distance between buildings on the same
lot. None, except as may be required pursuant to this title.
(Ord. 2585, 1957; Ord. 3710, 1974)
Off-street parking and loading space shall be provided as required in Chapter
28.90 of this title.
(Ord. 2585, 1957; Ord. 3710, 1974)
Signs shall be permitted in this zone only as provided in the
Sign Ordinance of the City of Santa Barbara.
(Ord. 2585, 1957; Ord. 3710, 1974)
The architectural and general appearance of all buildings and
grounds shall be in accordance with the action of the Architectural
Board of Review, or the Historic Landmarks Commission if the property
is located within El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District or another Landmark
district or if the structure is a designated City Landmark.
(Ord. 2585, 1957; Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 4851, 1994)
A. Before
any building or structure is hereafter erected or any land hereafter
used in the P-D Zone under the provisions of this chapter, a development
plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Planning Commission
showing proposed building location, size, setbacks, floor area and
elevations, proposed parking lot design and landscaping plan.
B. It
is hereby declared that most of the uses allowed in the P-D Zone are
special uses and of such a nature that it is impractical to establish
in advance of development the minimum requirements for parking, site
area, setbacks, hours or manner of operation, lighting, landscaping
or other standards usually applied to each individual facility or
planned center proposed to be established under these provisions.
C. The
Planning Commission may, therefore, further limit the allowed uses
and building height and require additional setbacks in the P-D Zone
where necessary to secure an appropriate development.
D. In
lieu of prescribing herein minimum performance and development standards,
the Planning Commission shall make the following findings and impose
conditions necessary to secure and perpetuate the basis for such findings:
1. That
the total area of the site and the setbacks of all facilities from
property and street lines are of sufficient magnitude in view of the
character of the land and of the proposed development that significant
detrimental impact on surrounding properties is avoided;
2. That
prescribed hours and days of operation of the facilities are such
that the character of the area is not inappropriately altered or disturbed;
3. That
the design and operation of outdoor lighting equipment will not be
a nuisance to the use of property in the area;
4. That
the appearance of the developed site in terms of the arrangement,
height, scale and architectural style of the buildings, location of
parking areas, landscaping and other features is compatible with the
character of the area and of the City.
(3710, 1974; Ord. 3617, 1974; Ord. 4361, 1985)
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no application for a land use permit for a nonresidential construction project will be accepted or approved on or after December 6, 1989 unless the project complies with the provisions outlined in Development Plan Approval, Chapter
28.85.
