Lemoore City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 9

OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS

9-9A-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:

This chapter establishes a series of overlay zoning districts. These overlay zoning districts supplement the land use regulations and/or development standards of the corresponding underlying base zoning district by recognizing distinct areas of the city that have special, unique, or important social, architectural, site, neighborhood, environmental, or compatibility issues or characteristics that, because of their nature, require special considerations not otherwise adequately provided by the underlying base zoning district applicable to the property. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9A-2: DESIGNATION ON ZONING MAP:

As described in chapter 3, "Zoning Districts And Map", of this title, overlay zoning districts shall be designated on the city zoning map by their representative symbol along with the base zoning district in a format determined by the planning director. For example, a planned development overlay zoning district combined with a medium density residential base zoning district would be shown on the zoning map with the medium density residential shown as the underlying district and the overlay shown with an outline. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9A-3: APPLICABILITY OF STANDARDS:

The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all parcels of land located within the designated boundaries of an overlay district as illustrated on maps contained on the city zoning map. In the event of a conflict with the regulations of the underlying base zoning district and the overlay zoning district, the provisions of the overlay zoning district shall apply. Where an overlay zoning district is silent, the regulations of other sections of this title shall apply. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9B-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:

This article establishes the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay Zone for the purpose of providing project specific architectural and development standards for new development of residential subdivisions in the City. The PUD is intended to allow some flexibility in the zoning district development standards with special consideration and review. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9B-2: FORM AND CONTENT OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONES:

   A.   Form And Adoption Of New Planned Unit Development Overlay Zones: Subsequent to the adoption of this title, all new Planned Unit Development Overlay Zones shall be established by ordinance of the City Council. The ordinance shall include, or shall reference in a separate document, all of the components for a planned unit development as described in subsection B of this section.
   B.   Required Components: Each new Planned Unit Development Overlay Zone shall, at a minimum, contain the following components:
      1.   Performance and development requirements related to yards, lot area, intensity of development on each lot, parking, landscaping, and signs;
      2.   Time, phasing, and sequence of development projects;
      3.   Infrastructure plan;
      4.   Circulation plan;
      5.   Master home plan floor plans and elevation plans; and
      6.   Other design standards appropriate for the specific site and development.
   C.   Requirements For Existing Planned Unit Developments: Existing Planned Unit Development Overlay Zones need not be modified to include these components unless the underlying tentative subdivision map has expired or the project proponent is requesting a significant change in the project design as determined by the City. Otherwise, the conditions of approval for the tentative map shall serve as the plan for the development. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9B-3: ADOPTION OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONES:

The Planned Unit Development Overlay Zones listed in table 9-9B-3-1, "Planned Unit Development Overlay Zones", of this section are hereby adopted into this Code by reference. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9B-4: SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SPECIFIC PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS:

In an effort to provide design flexibility and consistency with the architectural standards historically required for planned unit developments, as well as the standards provided in this title, the City has approved special setback standards for some planned unit developments. Table 9-9B-4-1, "Development Standards For Planned Unit Development Overlay Zones", of this section identifies the standards for each planned unit development where they deviate from the requirements of this title. The City may approve special setbacks for new planned unit developments, subject to an amendment to this table to include the special standards.

9-9C-1: PURPOSE:

This article establishes the Naval Air Station Lemoore (NASL) overlay zoning district for the purpose of recognizing the potential adverse impacts on the population from Naval Air Station Lemoore and establishing special development regulations to ensure public health, safety, and welfare. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9C-2: APPLICABILITY:

The regulations of the Naval Air Station Lemoore (NASL) overlay zone as provided in this article shall apply to those properties as designated on the zoning map, generally west of State Route 41 and south of the city limits, which fall in the military influence area (MIA). (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)

9-9C-3: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:

   A.   Overlay Areas: Lands within the NASL overlay zoning district are broken down into overlay areas I, II, and III, as described in the joint land use study. Overlay I areas are the most restrictive, applying to accident potential zones (APZs) and areas experiencing aircraft noise greater than seventy five decibels (>75 dB CNEL). Overlay II areas are those experiencing aircraft noise between sixty five and seventy five decibels (65–75 dB CNEL). Overlay III areas are those that experience aircraft noise less than sixty five decibels (<65 dB CNEL). Figure 9-9C-3-A, "NASL Overlay Areas", of this section illustrates the location of these overlay areas. While there are no overlay I areas within the NASL overlay zoning district, there are properties within overlay II and overlay III, as well as low level flight tracking.
   FIGURE 9-9C-3-A
   NASL OVERLAY AREAS
 
   B.   Height Limit: Restrictions on the height of structures within the NASL overlay zone are necessary to ensure that structures will not impair flight safety. To that end, no structure shall be built and no tree shall be allowed to grow above a height of one hundred fifty feet (150').
   C.   Construction Requirements: Development located within overlay II and overlay III of the NASL overlay zone where aircraft noise exceeds sixty five decibels (65 dB CNEL) shall be constructed so as to attain an indoor noise level of forty five decibels (45 dB CNEL). New residences shall be constructed in accordance with noise attenuation standards of the city adopted building code.
   D.   Development Review And Notification Required: Applications for development, including conditional use permits, site plan and architectural review, tentative maps, rezones, and general plan amendments, within the NASL overlay zone shall be routed to Naval Air Station Lemoore and the federal aviation administration for notification and review when involving tall structures.
   E.   Disclosure Requirements: All new subdivisions of land within the NASL overlay zone through tentative map as provided in title 8, chapter 7, article F, "Tentative Maps", of the municipal code shall be required, as a condition of approval, to record at time of final or parcel map an easement on all lots created. Such easement shall identify that the property is near a military installation subject to high aircraft noise, low level aircraft, aircraft tests, and/or other military related issues within overlays II and III. (Ord. 2013-05, 2-6-2014)
