The -RP combining district is to provide development regulations for designated open space areas and for a buffer zone surrounding designated open space areas to ensure that the character and intensity of allowable development is compatible with, and does not create or contribute to adverse impacts on sensitive resources or geotechnically hazardous areas. These regulations are in addition and supplemental to the regulations of the underlying zone or zones, and where the regulations of the -RP zone and the underlying zone are inconsistent, the regulations of the -RP zone shall prevail. Furthermore, all development shall be in accordance with the policies contained in the Daly City general plan and, if applicable, the Daly City coastal program.

(Ord. 954 § 4 (part), 1981)

All lands designated as open space or adjacent to lands designated as open space in the open space element of the Daly City general plan may be included in the -RP district.

(Ord. 954 § 4 (part), 1981)

Following are the conditional uses which may be permitted in an -RP district, subject to the approval of a use permit:

A.

New structures, including buildings, fences, walls and swimming pools, specified as a permitted principal use, a permitted accessory use or a conditional use in the underlying zone;

B.

Additions to existing conforming structures which will result in an increase of ten percent or more in the internal floor area, the construction of an additional story, or cause further encroachment towards the edge of a bluff or other sensitive physical feature.

(Ord. 954 § 4 (part), 1981)

3.

Past and possible future landslide and/or erosion conditions, both natural and artificially induced;

4.

Ground and surface water conditions;

5.

Stability of the site, potential impact of the proposed project, and any mitigation measures or potential alternatives necessary to insure structural integrity of the site and structures for the economic life of the project; and

6.

Certification that the development will have no adverse effect on the site or adjacent areas, will not endanger life or property, and will not require protective structures at any time during the economic life of the project;

C.

Environmental evaluation pursuant to CEQA.

(Ord. 954 § 4 (part), 1981)

Following are regulations governing all construction within an -RP district:

As specified for the underlying zone or zones;

B.

Conditions specified as part of the use permit approval;

If the development is on a blufftop:

1.

No building or structure shall be placed closer than fifty feet from the edge of the bluff, the setback line to be determined by the city engineer;

No grading or filling operations shall be permitted except for required drainage or erosion control and, if required, the same shall meet the standards and requirements of the state and city in connection with grading and filling operations;

3.

All structures hereafter constructed shall provide a permanent vista corridor with an unobstructed width of at least five feet or fifteen percent of the lot width of each lot, whichever is greater. If more than a single lot is included in a development, the vista corridors shall be combined into a single location;

D.

No development shall be allowed on a bluff or other such surface with a slope of thirty degrees or greater and a vertical relief of ten feet or more, except an approved stairway, ramp or developed trail;

E.

If the development is a shoreline accessway, the standards adopted by the city in its local coastal plan, or as amended, shall be applicable to an accessway.

(Ord. 1006 § 7, 1983; Ord. 954 § 4 (part), 1981)

Prior to issuing a permit for development in the coastal zone, the following procedures shall be followed:

Notice of the public hearing shall be given as required by law and to all persons as required by law and, in addition, notice shall be given to all persons who have filed request for notice and to the coastal commission;

C.

The planning commission shall make a recommendation concerning the application for development to the city council for final determination;

D.

In connection with any appeal under Chapters 17.23, 17.25 and 17.27, the same shall be made to the State Coastal Commission pursuant to the Public Resources Code, Section 30603 (A), (B) and (C) and shall be as set forth in Article 17, of the Coastal Commission Regulations.
