Land classified in an S-D Zone shall also be classified in a
basic zone and the following regulations shall apply in the S-D Special
District Zone unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
(Ord. 3559, 1972; Ord. 3710, 1974)
These regulations are designed and intended to provide a method
of increasing particular zoning standards in a certain area or neighborhood
in the community wherein the Planning Commission finds that the standards
contained in the basic zone or zones in which the land is classified
are not sufficiently restrictive to assure appropriate development
in that area or to protect the residents therein against inappropriate
land uses or activities otherwise permitted in the basic zone category.
These regulations are further designed and intended to be used only
in circumstances where the standards to be affected by the special
district zone are a minor portion of the total standards applicable
to the basic zone so that rezoning of the area to another basic zone
category to achieve the desired results would introduce other inappropriate
standards.
(Ord. 3559, 1972; Ord. 3710, 1974)
A. The
standards required by any S-D Zone shall in no case be less restrictive
than the comparable standard required in the basic zone in which the
land is classified. In the event that there be no comparable standard
in the basic zone, the Planning Commission shall find that the S-D
Zone standard in no way permits development or use of land which is
in any way more intense than that permitted by the basic zone.
B. Each
special district zone hereafter created shall be designated by the
letters S-D followed by a number for the purpose of identifying the
particular standards required in each S-D Zone. These special standards
shall be contained in separate sections of this chapter.
(Ord. 3559, 1972; Ord. 3710, 1974)
A. Location.
The S-D-1 Zone is applied to the San Roque Park Subdivision, which
is located northerly of State Street between San Roque Road and Ontare
Road.
B. Legislative
intent. It is the purpose of the S-D-1 Zone to require front setbacks
greater than those required in the base zones in which lots in the
San Roque Park Subdivision are classified. The San Roque Park Subdivision
was created in 1926, at which time a deed restriction was imposed
requiring that buildings be set back at least 40 feet from the front
property line. This restriction was in effect until 1941, at which
time it expired. Development since 1941 has largely respected this
increased front setback, in spite of the fact that the Zoning Ordinance
requirements are less restrictive. A majority of the property owners
in the San Roque Park Subdivision have expressed the desire for the
City, through zoning, to increase the front setback requirement in
this area to conform with the original deed restrictions.
C. S-D-1
Standards.
1. Front
setback. There shall be a front setback of not less than 40 feet in
depth, with the following exceptions:
a. For front yards abutting San Roque Road or Ontare Road, or any front
yard abutting that portion of Canon Drive where land on both sides
of the streets is not classified in the S-D-1 Zone category, the front
setback shall be as provided in the base zone.
b. Any front yard abutting Madrona Drive shall provide a front setback
of not less than 30 feet in depth.
2. Interior
setback. The interior setback requirement shall be as provided in
the base zone.
(Ord. 3578, 1973; Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 5459, 2008)
A. Location.
The S-D-2 zone is applied to the "Upper State Street Area" which is
defined as the area bounded by Alamar Avenue, U.S. Highway 101, Foothill
Road and State Highway 154.
B. Legislative
intent. It is the purpose of the S-D-2 Zone to impose certain traffic
related restrictions greater than those provided in the base zones
in which lots in the "Upper State Street Area" are classified. State
Street is the only major east-west surface street serving the Upper
State Street Area and it is one of the most heavily traveled streets
in the City. In order to prevent the volumes of traffic on State Street
from exceeding acceptable limits and to limit increased air pollution,
due to vehicular traffic, it is necessary to impose the traffic related
restrictions contained in this section on new developments in the
area. In order to ensure the appropriateness of developments in said
area, and the mitigation of traffic impacts where possible, it is
necessary that development plans for said developments be reviewed.
C. Development potential. 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.
D. Standards.
The following standards shall apply to all projects in the S-D-2 Zone:
1. Parking Requirements. Off-street parking shall be provided as required in Chapter
28.90 of this title.
2. Drive-through
Facilities. No building or structure hereafter erected, reconstructed,
structurally altered or enlarged in the S-D-2 Zone shall be designed
or used, in whole or in part, as a motor vehicle drive-through facility.
As used herein, "motor vehicle drive-through facility" means a commercial
building or structure or portion thereof which is designed or used
to provide goods or services to the occupants of motor vehicles. Such
term shall include, but not be limited to, banks and other financial
institutions, fast food establishments, and film deposit/pick-up establishments,
but shall not include drive-in movies, gasoline stations, or car wash
operations.
3. Building
Height. Three stories not exceeding 45 feet and not exceeding the
total floor area of a two-story building (30 feet) which could be
constructed on the lot in compliance with all applicable regulations.
4. Front
Setbacks. A front setback of not less than the indicated distance
shall be provided between the front lot line and all buildings and
structures on the lot as follows:
a. One-story building or structure not exceeding 15 feet of building
height: 10 feet
b. Two- or three-story building or structure or any one story building
or structure in excess of 15 feet of building height: 20 feet
