Common usable open space includes areas planned within residential development projects which are to be used for scenic landscaping or recreational purposes by all the residents of the project.

B.

Common usable open space does not include land occupied by streets, driveways, parking areas, service areas, or required front or street side yards; provided, however, that land occupied by recreational structures and facilities may be counted as common usable open space and in accordance with the following standards:

1.

The minimum common usable open space required for each dwelling unit shall be as follows:

a.

One hundred and twenty-five square feet for each efficiency unit;

b.

Two hundred fifty square feet per bedroom for each dwelling unit having two or less bedrooms;

c.

Five hundred square feet for each bedroom for each dwelling unit having three or more bedrooms.

2.

At least fifty percent of the required common usable open space shall be contained in one or not more than three common areas and a rectangle described within it shall be determined by the commission as reasonable and usable. The required common usable open space may be distributed throughout the project and need not be in one large area provided that required common usable open space shall have an area six hundred twenty-five square feet and a rectangle described within it shall have a minimum dimension of not less than twenty-five feet.

3.

All required common usable open space shall be suitably improved for its intended purpose and all lawn and landscaping areas shall be provided with a permanent watering system adequate to maintain such areas. Natural features of the site worthy of preservation as described by the planning commission may be retained in their natural state and need not be formally improved but shall be maintained to the extent that certain improvement features such as irrigation lines and additional plant materials may be added to insure the lasting retention of the natural feature being preserved.

4.

In recognition of the fact that greater densities authorized under the terms of this chapter can be approved for housing developments it is essential that the open space provided in lieu of individual setback yards and the like be in the form of flat usable land rather than in steep unusable slopes. Therefore, depending upon the nature and concept of the project, fifty percent to one hundred percent of the required common usable open space shall be situated on slopes not to exceed five percent. The planning commission may make the determination based upon the individual application and development program.

5.

If individual dwelling units in the development are to be sold, open space may be required on each individual lot in accordance with the planned development permit. If common area is provided, the usable open space shall remain in common ownership and remain available for all units within the project.

(Ord. 364 § 1, (part), 1977: prior code § 9404.3(G).)

(Ord. 364 § 1 (part), 1977: prior code § 9404.3(H).)

Off-street parking shall be as set forth in the parking provisions of this title (Chapter 19.44); however, in no case shall required parking be provided in the front yard setback area, and there shall be adequate space for the parking of recreational vehicles in the side yard area or within the project as approved by the commission.

(Ord. 364 § 1 (part), 1977: prior code § 9404.3(I).)

A.

A fence or wall not to exceed six feet in height may be required to be located and maintained along the side or rear lot lines provided such fence or wall does not extend into the required front yard or into the side yard along the street side of a reverse corner lot, in which case such fence or wall shall be limited to three feet in height.

B.

No fence or hedge shall exceed three feet in height in any required cutoff area described in this chapter.

C.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A of this section, the director of planning and community development may approve an increase in the height of a wall or fence of up to eight feet on that side of any parcel in this zone adjoining a primary arterial or eight feet on that side of any parcel in this zone adjoining a secondary arterial; provided, that the director finds that the wall and the landscaping surrounding the wall will be:

1.

Compatible with surrounding land uses;

2.

Consistent with the city's general plan;

3.

In compliance with all city ordinances and policies; and

(Ord. 1013 § 2 (part), 2007.)

If the proposed planned development would substantially depreciate property values in the vicinity, unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of property in the vicinity by occupants thereof, or would endanger the public peace, health, safety and general welfare, then such proposed planned development must be rejected, modified or conditioned to remove such objections or be denied.

(Ord. 1013 § 2 (part), 2007.)

Unless the construction of the structure is commenced and being diligently pursued not later than twelve months after the date the permit is granted, the permit will automatically expire on that date. However, if there have been no changes in the proposed plot plans or adjacent areas, the planning commission or the director when authorized, may grant additional extensions of time for the commencement of the project.

(Ord. 1013 § 2 (part), 2007.)

1.

In considering the approval, denial or modification of an application for a planned development permit, the planning commission shall consider the proposed recommendation of the staff and the following guidelines:

a.

That the degree of compatibility of property uses for which this section is intended to promote and preserve shall be maintained with respect to the particular use on the particular site and consideration of existing and potential uses of property within the zone and the general area in which the use is proposed to be located;

b.

That performance standards and conditions shall be imposed upon uses which without such condition might become obnoxious, dangerous, offensive or injurious to the public health, safety, or welfare, or a portion thereof by reason of the emission of noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odor or other harmful or annoying substances;

c.

That there shall be maintained the integrity and character of the neighborhood in which the use will be located and the utility and value of property in the neighborhood and in the adjacent zones;

d.

That the use shall be compatible with public interest, health, safety, convenience and general welfare.

2.

The planning commission may attach such conditions and make such modifications, changes or alterations in the proposed application as the commission may determine necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this zone.

3.

If the proposed planned development would substantially depreciate property values in the vicinity, unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of property in the vicinity by occupants thereof, or would endanger the public peace, health, safety and general welfare, then such proposed planned development shall be rejected, modified or conditioned to remove such objections.

4.

Unless the use is inaugurated or the construction of the structure is commenced and being diligently pursued not later than twelve months after the date the permit is granted, the permit will automatically expire on that date. However, if there have been no changes in the proposed plot plans or adjacent areas, the planning commission may grant additional extensions of time for use inauguration.

5.

Any permit previously or subsequently granted may be revoked by the planning commission or city council after appropriate proceedings, provided herein, for any of the following causes:

a.

That any term or condition of the permit has not been complied with;

b.

That the property subject to the permit, or any portion thereof, is used or maintained in violation of any statute, ordinance, law or regulation in effect at time of approval;

c.

That the use for which the permit was granted has not been exercised for at least twelve consecutive months, has ceased to exist, or has been abandoned;

d.

That the use for which the permit was granted has been so exercised as to be detrimental to the public health or safety, or constitutes a nuisance.

B.

After revocation of a permit, the property affected thereby shall be subject to the regulations of the applicable zone classification.

C.

The failure of the planning commission or city council to revoke a permit whenever due cause exists or occurs does not constitute a waiver of such tight with respect to any subsequent cause for revocation.

In considering the approval, denial or modification of an application for a planned development permit, the planning commission shall consider the proposed recommendation of the staff and the following guidelines:

A.

The degree of compatibility of property uses which this chapter is intended to promote and preserve shall be maintained with respect to the particular use on the particular site and consideration of existing and potential uses of property within the zone and the general area in which the use is proposed to be located;

B.

The intent of this zone is to establish and provide regulations for the general placement, design, and intensity of uses for the area identified as the Camarillo Old Town. The establishment of these regulations are intended to protect and preserve the character of the existing uses and to identify the development standards for new uses and buildings within the old town area. The COT (Camarillo old town) Zone recognizes the distinction between this business area, and those established prior to the site planning principles used in later commercial areas.

(Ord. 270 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 9410.)

A.

The limited manufacturing zone is intended to provide for and encourage planned industrial districts, compatible with surrounding or abutting residential zones which would not in any way depreciate the character of the community. Uses are to be confined to those administrative, wholesaling, warehousing and manufacturing activities that can be carried on in an unobtrusive manner and to certain accessory facilities that are necessary to serve employees in the zone. Regulations provide for suitable open space, landscaping, access, parking and loading. A low intensity of development and strict performance standards are required to insure unobtrusive operations.

B.

No industrial use shall be permitted which by its nature of development or operation will in any way adversely affect the environment of the community.

(Ord. 270 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 9410.1.)

A.

The limited manufacturing zone is intended as limited manufacturing districts for restricted manufacturing uses, administrative or executive offices of business or industrial concerns, scientific research offices and laboratories and certain uses to and compatible with the district. Manufacturing uses are intended to be limited to the fabrication, assembly, compounding, processing or packaging of materials which are in a processed form and which do not in their maintenance, assembly, or manufacture, create smoke, gas, odor, dust, sound, vibration, soot or lighting which might be termed obnoxious or offensive to persons residing or conducting business in either this or any other zone in the city. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this title, any and every new use and any and every new building and premises or land in an L-M zone shall be used for or occupied, and every building shall be erected, constructed, established, owned, enlarged, maintained, moved into or within such L-M zone exclusively only in accordance with the regulations set out in this chapter.

B.

The description of principally permitted uses is illustrative of the types of uses which shall be permitted in the L-M zone and is not intended to be exclusive.
