(Ord. 186 § 15, 1998; Ord. 210 § 26, 2001)
No building permit shall issue for the construction of any new single family residential unit proposed for construction within an existing subdivision where building permits have issued, construction has commenced and/or where individual lot(s) have been sold to third parties, prior to completion of a Compatibility Review as described in Section 88.0120. This section does not apply to subdivisions which have been specifically approved for individual lot sales.
(Ord. 143 § 1, 1995)
Prior to issuance of any building permit for the construction of a new single family residential unit within an existing subdivision as described in Section 88.0115, the proposed residential dwelling unit shall be reviewed by the Planning Division for compatibility according to one of the following methods:
(a) 
Pre-approved or constructed design. Where the building permit application is for construction according to plans previously approved or constructed in the same subdivision, no further review is necessary prior to issuance of building permits. For example, where the construction of already-approved production units or constructed models is being proposed, building permits may issue for construction according to those approved plans, or consistent with constructed models.
(b) 
Minor Design Deviation. Where the building permit application is for construction which represents a deviation from approved residential unit plans in the same subdivision of items such as, but not limited to, a 5% or less reduction in square footage from the smallest of existing constructed or approved units, or modifications in exterior or design features such as window sizes, color and stucco texture or other decorative details, approval may be granted by the Planning Division, without a public hearing, subject to the Division’s finding that the proposed modification is compatible with existing or approved construction. In marginal cases, the Director of Community Development may refer a minor Design Deviation to the Planning Commission for a non-hearing compatibility review.
(c) 
Major Design Deviation. Where the unit or units propose construction which represents a deviation from approved residential unit plans in the same subdivision of at least a 6% reduction in square footage from the smallest of existing constructed or approved units, but not more than a 20% reduction in square footage, or any exterior architectural modification not determined by the Planning Division as a Minor Design Deviation, Major Design Deviation Review, set forth in Section 88.0125, is required.
(d) 
Reductions in unit size representing greater than 20% deviation prohibited. Proposed reductions in unit size which represent a reduction in square footage from the smallest of existing constructed or approved units greater than 20% are prohibited, and building permits shall not be issued by the Building & Safety Division.
(Ord. 143 § 1, 1995)
Where a determination has been made that Major Design Deviations are proposed in architectural size or detail, the following procedure must be followed to determine and ensure compatibility:
(a) 
Application. Where the Director of Community Development has determined that an application is subject to Major Design Deviation Review, the applicant shall provide all information deemed by the Director of Community Development to be necessary to the review, and shall pay all fees established by the City for processing a Major Variance.
(b) 
Notice. Notice of the proposed design deviation shall be mailed to all property owners within the subject tract, as shown on the latest equalized tax roll, as well as within 300 feet of the proposed residential unit(s). The notice shall describe the nature of the proposal, the location of the project, and a statement that the decision will be made on a date not less than 20 days nor more than 30 days from the mailing of the notice. The notice shall also state that written responses are requested. Notice of the decision shall be mailed or delivered to the property owners within the subject tract and within 300 feet of the proposed homes.
(c) 
Public hearing. Major Deviations shall be evaluated by the Community Development Director in light of responses made as a result of the mailed notice. Where substantial opposition to the proposed deviations is received by the City, or upon determination by the Community Development Director that the application presents facts which are subject to the Major Deviation Review procedure, or upon the Community Development Director’s independent determination that a further evaluation of compatibility is necessary, the matter shall be set for public hearing before the Planning Commission. Substantial Opposition is defined in Section 88.0130.
(d) 
Planning Commission review. Review of the proposed changes shall be in accordance with the procedure for reviewing Major Variances, as set forth in Article 9 of the Development Code, and shall also include findings related to compatibility as defined in Section 88.0130, including a finding that the proposed deviations, as they may be conditioned by the Planning Commission, retain the integrity and character of the neighborhood.
(Ord. 143 § 1, 1995)
As used in this Chapter, the following terms shall be defined as indicated:
(a) 
"Compatible or compatibility"
shall mean capable of coexisting in harmony or without significant conflict. A compatible residential land use will not cause a significant detriment to the use, economic value, habitability and enjoyment of residents, owners, and/or patrons of any land uses in the surrounding and adjacent area. In terms of building design, compatible means consistent or in harmony with existing and approved planned development. Elements to be considered in the evaluation of compatibility included, without limitation, style, mass, bulk, size, use, occupancy, improvements, character, scale, texture, color and other principles of design.
(b) 
"Substantial Opposition"
shall mean written opposition or complaints from 25% or more of the noticed property owners, received by the Community Development Director prior to the 20th day from the notice of mailing date.
