b. Dimensions. Parkways shall be constructed at the same width as the Amenity Zones illustrated in Figure CDSP-4, minus the 6-inch width required for the curb, except as approved by the Director of Public Works. (1) When street parking is adjacent to the curb, a paved buffer with a minimum width of 18 inches is required, in addition to the 6-inch curb, except where tree grates are adjacent to the curb.
(2) Barriers up to 24 inches high, such as low walls or fences, are permitted at the interior edge of the parkway but are not required. c. Access Ways. Where on-street parking is permitted, access ways shall be provided at a minimum frequency of one per every 20 feet of continuous parkway.
(1) Access ways shall be a minimum of 4 feet in width and provide a firm, uniform walking surface in all weather conditions from the curb to the Walk Zone.
(2) The finished surface of access ways shall be in plane with both the adjoining top of curb and sidewalk.
(3) Access ways shall be constructed of pavers, concrete, or stabilized decomposed granite.
d. Planted Area. A minimum of 80 percent of the total required parkway area for a given project shall be comprised of plant material. (1) Permitted materials include groundcovers, turf or turf substitutes, and shrubs or low perennials that are lower than 24 inches in height at full maturity.
a. All plant material shall be native or climate appropriate and have a water use rating of Moderate, Low or Very-Low as defined by Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS) for the region. Plant water use requirements may be relaxed to maximize the efficiency of parkway stormwater capture systems per approval by the Director of Public Works.
13 Exhibit 1
Central District Specific Plan
b. Plants with spines or thorns shall not be planted adjacent to any walkways or curbs.
c. Edible plants are not permitted in parkways.
d. Artificial turf is not permitted in parkways.
(2) When removing existing plant material like turf grass from a parkway, there shall be no damage to the street tree roots. Parkway improvements involving excavation within an existing tree's root zone must be consistent with the City's Tree Protection Guidelines. Root pruning, if required and approved by Public Works, must be overseen by a Certified Arborist.
Excavation within a tree's root zone must be replanted immediately to prevent the tree roots from exposure and undue harm.
e. Non-planted Area. A maximum of 20 percent of the parkway area may be organic or inorganic cover.
(1) Permitted materials include permeable pavers, decomposed granite, gravel, rocks, or mulch.
a. Pavers are not allowed within 3 feet of any public streetlight pole or pull box or other utility facilities.
f. Stormwater Management. Parkways shall either meet the following basic stormwater standards, or propose a biofiltration planter or swale design based on local conditions per the approval of the Director of Public Works. (1) The parkway shall be at the same grade as the adjacent hardscape surface at the outer edge of the parkway and slope at a minimum of 1 percent towards the center of the parkway.
(2) For parkways with a width greater than 5 feet, the center 2 feet of the parkway shall be depressed 3 to 4 inches to form a shallow swale to collect sidewalk stormwater. Alternative means of storing runoff, such as gravel sumps within the parkway, may be provided with review authority approval.
14 Exhibit 1
Central District Specific Plan
g. Irrigation. Irrigation systems in parkways shall be designed and constructed in a manner that will eliminate surface runoff onto any impermeable surface, public or private, under any condition.
(1) Design of irrigation systems in parkways shall be in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations for water conservation. (2) Street tree roots shall not be damaged during the irrigation installation process.
h. Maintenance. Abutting property owner shall maintain the parkway in a condition so as not to endanger persons or property, and not to interfere with the public convenience.
2. Street Trees
a. Species. Street tree species shall be selected according to the Master Street Tree Plan at the discretion of the Director of Public Works. Trees may be planted within parkways or tree wells. For guidance on street trees, refer to Appendix A.2 Design Guidance for Tree Selection of the CDSP document. b. Spacing. Street trees shall be planted at a spacing of one per 30 feet.
Exceptions can be made by the Director of Public Works due to conflicts with streetlights, bus shelters, utility boxes, or other street amenities or species type. Closer spacing is encouraged when feasible and when appropriate for the particular tree type.
c. Well Dimension. Tree well width shall be equivalent to the required Amenity Zone, minus the 6-inch width required for the curb.

Revisions to Various Sections of Title 17
17.26.020 - Purpose and Applicability of Special Purpose Zoning Districts The purposes of the individual special purpose zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.
A. OS (Open Space) District. The OS district is applied to sites with open space, parks, and recreational facilities of a landscaped, open character having a minimum contiguous site area of two acres. The OS zoning district is consistent with and implements the Open Space land- use designation of the General Plan.
B PS (Public and Semi-Public) District.
1. Purpose. The PS district is intended to provide a specific base zoning district for large public or semi-public land uses that may not be appropriate in other base zoning districts, and to allow:
a. Consideration of the establishment or expansion of a large public or semi-public use at rezoning hearings rather than at Conditional Use Permit hearings only, and give notice to all of the extent of a site approved for a large public or semi-public use by delineating it on the Zoning Map; and
b. The Commission and Council to consider the most appropriate use of a site following discontinuance of a large public or semi-public use without the encumbrances of a base district that may or may not provide appropriate regulations for reuse of the site.
The PS zoning district is consistent with and implements the Institutional land use designation of the General Plan.
2. Applicability. The PS district is applied to sites with a contiguous area of two acres or more, including alleys, streets, or other rights-of-way. Persons wishing to establish public or semi-public uses on sites of two acres or more after the above date may apply for a zone change in compliance with Chapter 17.74.
C. PD (Planned Development) District.
1. Purpose. The PD zoning district is intended for sites where an applicant proposes and the City desires to achieve a particular mix of uses, appearance, land use compatibility, or special sensitivity to neighborhood character. The specific purposes of the PD district are to:
a. Establish a procedure for the development of large parcels of land in order to reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and inequities that otherwise would result from application of land use regulations and administrative procedures designed primarily for small parcels; b. Ensure orderly and thorough planning and review procedures that will result in quality urban design;
c. Encourage variety and avoid monotony in large developments by allowing greater freedom in selecting the means to provide access, light, open space, and amenity; d. Allow certain types of development consistent with the general plan that can be acceptable at a specific location only under standards significantly more restrictive than those of a base district in which the use is permitted;
e. Provide a mechanism whereby the city may authorize desirable developments in conformity with the general plan without inviting speculative rezoning applications that if granted, often could deprive subsequent owners of development opportunities that do not necessarily result in construction of the proposed facilities;
f. Encourage allocation and improvement of common open space in residential areas, and provide for maintenance of the open space at the expense of those who will directly benefit from it;
3 Exhibit 3
Revisions to Various Sections of Title 17
g. Encourage the preservation of serviceable existing structures of historic value or artistic merit by providing the opportunity to use them imaginatively for purposes other than that for which they were originally intended; and
h. Encourage the assembly of properties that might otherwise be developed in unrelated increments to the detriment of surrounding neighborhoods.
The PD zoning district is consistent with all land use classifications of the General Plan. 2 Applicability.
a. No new applications for PD zoning districts shall be initiated unless an application was filed with the Planning and Community Development Department prior to February 27, 2023. b. Minimum site area. Initially, the PD district shall be applied only to sites of two acres or larger, provided that the site may thereafter be subdivided in compliance with an approved PD Plan.
PD zoned lots created as a result of the implementation of this title are not subject to the two-acre minimum.
3. Procedures.
a. The Commission shall consider an application for reclassification to a PD zoning district in compliance with Chapter 17.74 (Amendments) and shall, at the same time, consider the proposed PD plan accompanying the application in compliance with Chapter 17.76 (Public Hearings).
(1) A PD with a proposed increase in the FAR or residential density, as allowed in Section
17.26.020(C)(3)(b), shall be reviewed by the Design Commission prior to consideration by the Commission. The Design Commission shall advise the Commission as to whether the architectural design of the proposed PD is contextual and of a high-quality. b. A recommendation of the Commission to reclassify to a PD zoning district shall be accompanied by a recommendation on the PD plan.
c. The Council shall consider the Commission's recommendation to reclassify the subject property to a PD zoning district in compliance with Chapter 17.74 (Amendments). d. Revision. An application for a revision to an existing PD plan shal! be considered by the Commission at a public hearing with notice given as identified for a Conditional Use Permit in compiiance with Chapter 17.76 (Public Hearings).
e. Renewal.
(1) The Commission may renew a PD plan if it finds the renewal consistent with the purposes of this Subsection.
(2) Application for renewal shall be filed in writing with the Department not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before expiration of the PD plan.
4. PD zoning district regulations and accompanying PD plan. a. Land use regulations. No use other than an existing use as of the effective date of the ordinance enacting this Subsection shall be allowed in a PD zoning district except in compliance with a valid PD plan. Any allowed or conditionally allowed use authorized by this Subsection may be included in an approved PD plan, but only when it is deemed consistent with the General Plan.
b. Development standards.
(1) The FAR of a PD shall not exceed the FAR allowed on the Land Use Diagram for the project site unless approved by the City Council, but only as high as 3.0, and only when it can be shown the architectural design of the PD is contextual and of a high-quality. (2) The residential density of a PD shall not exceed the residential density allowed on the Land Use Diagram for the project site unless approved by the City Council, but only as 4 Exhibit 3
Revisions to Various Sections of Title 17
high as 87 dwelling units per acre, and only when it can be shown the architectural design of the PD is contextual and of a high-quality. The residential density may also exceed that of the Land Use Diagram if the project is complying with the Density Bonus provisions of Chapter 17.42 (Affordable Housing Incentives and Requirements). (3) In the CD district, no PD plan may authorize a greater height than that permitted by Figure CDSP-8 Building Height, per Section 17.30.
(4) The performance standards of Section 17.40.090 shall apply. (5) Other development regulations shall be as prescribed by the PD plan. c. PD plan.
(1) A PD plan shall be defined as the ordinance adopting the PD zoning district as well as the accompanying conditions established by the Commission. (2) A PD plan shall be effective on the same date as the effective date of the ordinance enacting the PD zoning district for which it was approved and shall expire two years after the effective date or upon expiration of a tentative tract map, unless a Building Permit has been issued and construction diligently pursued to completion. (3) An approved PD plan may specify a phased development program exceeding two years.
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection, converted accessory dwelling units, as defined in Section 17.80.020 and meeting the requirements of Section 17.50.275, are permitted in PD zoning districts that allow single-family residential uses. (5) Zoning map designation. A PD zoning district shall be noted by the designation "PD, (followed by the number of the PD district based on order of adoption. (6) Location of PD plans. A list of PD plans is contained in Appendix A. The file containing the land use regulations and development standards of the PD plan shall be maintained in the office of the Director and shall be available at the Permit Center. 5 Exhibit 3

2. Encourage new structures that show creativity and imagination, add distinction, interest, and variety to the community, and are environmentally sustainable;
3. Promote architectural and design excellence in new construction and discourage poor- quality development;
4. Ensure that future development should:
a. Reflect the values of the community;
b. Enhance the surrounding environment;
c. Visually harmonize with its surroundings and not unnecessarily block scenic views; and d. Avoid nostalgic misrepresentations that may confuse the relationships among structures over time.
5. Ensure that new landscaping provides a visually pleasing setting for structures on the site;
6. Promote the protection and retention of landmark, native, and specimen trees and if feasible mature canopy trees and other significant landscaping of aesthetic and environmental value;
7. Ensure that the design, quality, and location of signs are consistent with the character and scale of the structures to which they are attached and are visually harmonious with surrounding development; and
8. Promote the conservation, enhancement, preservation, and protection of historic resources.
B. Applicability. All projects are subject to Design Review in compliance with this Section, excluding exempted projects identified in Subparagraph 5., below.
1. Review authority. The review authority for Design Review is specified in Tables 6-2 and 6-3, below.

E. Concept Design Review.
1. Purpose. Concept Design Review is the primary step in the Design Review process. Applications for Concept Design Review normally address the basic design of a project, including compatibility with surroundings, massing, proportion, siting, solid-to-void relationships, and compliance with applicable design guidelines.
2. Procedures. Concept Design Review applications shall be processed in compliance with Chapter
17.60 (Application Filing and Processing) except as provided in this Section.
3. Public hearing required. A public hearing shall be held on all Concept Design Review applications for which the Design Commission is the original review authority. The hearing shall be noticed and conducted in compliance with Chapter 17.76 (Public Hearings).
4. Period of validity. Concept Design Review approval shall be subject to the validity provisions of Chapter 17.64 (Permit Implementation, Time Limits, and Extensions).
F. Final Design Review.

17.35.060 - Scale Standards
These standards are intended to:
Implement the General Plan density (du/ac) and floor area ratio (FAR) values; Shape development in a manner that creates a defined public realm and appropriate scale of buildings for a visually appealing community;
Reduce building massing through setback and stepback requirements that create appropriate transitions to residential neighborhoods;
• Support high-quality architecture and urban design through modulation requirements and a varied roof lines incentive; and
Require appropriate transitions to designated historic resources.
A. Density
1. Residential Density. Projects that include residential dwelling units shallnot exceed the allowable dwelling units per acre (du/ac) per Figure SFOSP-6. a. Fractions shall be rounded to the nearest whole number; those at 0.50 may be rounded up.
b. For projects utilizing state density bonus, refer to Government Code 65915. c. The maximum is based on total site area. If a street dedication or easement is required, density shall be calculated using the size of the lot prior to the street dedication or easement.
