101 – 200 2
201 – 300 3
Note: Add one amenity for each 100 additional units or fraction thereof.
5. Each dwelling unit shall be provided with a minimum of 100 cubic feet of enclosed storage space, such as roof rack storage, within the garage, carport, or immediately adjacent to the dwelling unit. Garages shall not be used as a gym.
6. Driveway approaches within a multifamily development of 12 or more units within the RIPAOZ shall be delineated with interlocking pavers and/or rough-textured concrete and landscaped medians.
7. All parts of all structures shall be within 100 feet of paved access for single-story and 50 feet for multistory units.
8. A bus turnout and shelter on the on-site arterial frontage shall be dedicated if the project is located on a bus route as determined by the planning director.
9. Common laundry facilities of sufficient number and accessibility consistent with the number of living units and the Uniform Building Code shall be provided.

12. Telephone jacks shall be installed in all living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.

a. A minimum six-foot-high, decorative wrought iron fence shall be provided along the front of the property, to the rear of any required setback. Such fence shall incorporate a self-locking remote-controlled vehicle and pedestrian entry/exit gate. The vehicle entry shall incorporate an electronically activated tenant marquee to permit notification of tenants in the event of visitors. Such marquee shall be five feet above finished grade.
Provisions for emergency access, such as a Knox box, shall be provided in accordance with California Fire Code requirements.
19. Rear decks and balconies shall be discouraged for multi-story development where a majority of the surrounding properties are single-story homes within 50’ of the property line.
20. To avoid box structure designs, continuous multi-story walls and wall areas greater than nine feet in height that are flush with the first story of a primary structure shall be designed with a minimum recess of one foot for every 20 feet of wall length.

21. Landscape screening shall be provided along the property line(s) adjacent to the singlestory dwelling(s) or property on the downslope. A landscape plan that includes accurate visual simulations shall be submitted to the Planning Director (or designee) for review and approval. The landscaping shall be as mature as possible at installation such that at minimum, it will provide visual screening of the area immediately across from the multistory development to ensure privacy for the adjacent single-story dwelling from visual intrusion to the windows or back yard of the adjacent residence. The height and density of the landscape buffer at installation shall be determined by the Planning Director and City Landscape Architect, with consideration given to tree survival upon transplant.
22. If it is determined during project review that visual privacy issues will exist alongside yard elevations, as determined by accurate visual simulations, the Planning Director may limit the multi-story wall or any structure wall above nine feet in height to clerestory windows or permanent opaque screening, if any windows are proposed. This determination shall be based on whether or not the proposed multi-story building would have views into a neighbor’s bedroom(s), living/family room, or back yard.
Section 12. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares it would have adopted this ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion
10 thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 13. In the event that the Calimesa Municipal Code contains a residential development standard in conflict with the RIPAOZ, the more lenient standard contained within the RIPAOZ shall be used.
Section 14. Neither the adoption of this Ordinance nor the repeal of any other ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution of any violation of any City ordinance or provision of the Calimesa Municipal Code, committed prior to the effective date hereto, nor be construed as a waiver of any license or penalty or the penal provision applicable to any violation thereof.
Section 15. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause it to be published in the manner required by law.
