A.

This chapter establishes the Greenbrae Island Annexation Area overlay zone (the "Annexation Area overlay zone"). The creation of this overlay zone is intended to smoothly transition the developed properties that have been annexed into the city and are now subject to the city of Rocklin Municipal Code and Zoning Code, from their prior status under Placer County regulations and zoning. This approach is consistent with the city's general plan policy of flexibility and innovation in development and planning techniques.

B.

Use of property as it existed on the date of annexation into the city within the overlay zone is subject to the regulations of Title 17 as modified by this chapter. Development of previously undeveloped property within the overlay zone is subject to all requirements of the Rocklin Municipal Code including Title 17, the city of Rocklin Zoning Code.

C.

The properties included within the Annexation Area overlay zone shall be indicated on the official zoning maps of the city by distinct shading over the affected properties. The affected properties are all properties either partially or fully developed on the date approved by Placer LAFCo for annexation into the city, within the area known as the county island area accessed primarily by Aguilar Road, Greenbrae Road, and Foothill Road.

(Ord. No. 1045, § 2(Exh. A), 9-8-2015)

A.

All existing developed parcels conforming to the development standards required by the county zoning at the time of construction of the structures shall be deemed to be conforming in the Annexation Area overlay zone.

B.

For any major reconstruction involving a new foundation, and if it is determined by the chief building official to be feasible to conform the new structure to the underlying city development standards, then the location of the reconstructed structure must conform to the underlying city development standards.

C.

After the date of annexation approval by the Placer LAFCo, all new development requiring a city building permit must conform to the underlying city development standards.

(Ord. No. 1045, § 2(Exh. A), 9-8-2015)

A.

Horses, other similar large quadrupeds, sheep and goats are permitted in the Annexation Area overlay zone where there is sufficient space to accommodate them subject to the provisions of this section. The term immature offspring used in this section refers to animals that have not yet been weaned and/or are a maximum of one year in age.

B.

Horses and other similar large quadrupeds are permitted in the following numbers:

1.

One horse or similar large quadruped where the lot is not less than thirty thousand square feet, and two horses or similar large quadrupeds where the lot area is one acre net or greater. Up to a total of two immature offspring may also be allowed.

2.

Three horses or similar large quadrupeds and up to a total of two immature offspring where the lot area is two acres net or greater.

3.

Additional horses or other similar large quadrupeds may be kept on lots in excess of two acres net, in a number to be determined by the director of economic and community development. An administrative special use permit is required for the keeping of additional horses or similar large quadrupeds.

C.

Sheep and goats are permitted in the following numbers:

1.

Four mature animals and their immature offspring (not to exceed twelve animals in total) where the lot is not less than thirty thousand square feet, and six mature animals and their immature offspring (not to exceed fifteen animals in total) where the lot area is one acre net or greater.

2.

Additional animals may be kept, in a number to be determined by the director of economic and community development. An administrative special use permit is required for the keeping of additional animals.

D.

The number of animals identified as allowed per lot area in subsections A, B and C is not intended to imply that horses or other large quadrupeds as well as sheep and/or goats will be allowed collectively on a single lot in those numbers. The keeping of horses and any other similar large quadrupeds, as well as, sheep and goats on a single lot may only be permitted on sites greater than one acre in size and only with prior approval of a use permit from the economic and community development director.

E.

Horses, other large quadrupeds, sheep and goats permitted under this section must comply with the provisions of Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 6.36 regarding livestock.

F.

Because the potential incompatible impacts of additional animals are a localized impact, a property owner must apply for and obtain an administrative special use permit approved by the director of economic and community development, after payment of a fee and review of the permit which cost and process are substantially equivalent to the administrative special event permit authorized by Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 17.63.

(Ord. No. 1045, § 2(Exh. A), 9-8-2015)

A.

Parking, storage and operations of accessory vehicles, as those vehicles are defined in Section 17.08.130(B), shall be subject to all regulations set forth in Section 17.08.130 except as provided in part (B) below.

B.

For all existing developed parcels which can demonstrate physical site constraints making compliance with Rocklin Municipal Code Section 17.08.130(D)(1) infeasible, then parking of the accessory vehicle shall be allowed in the front yard or street side yard setback area, provided the accessory vehicle is parked as far from the street as feasibly possible based on site conditions. Feasibility shall be determined by the economic and community development director.

(Ord. No. 1045, § 2(Exh. A), 9-8-2015)

The use of land allowed by this chapter, but not otherwise in strict conformance with the Rocklin Municipal Code, may be continued until:

A.

The use is declared a nuisance by the city council or a court of competent jurisdiction; or

B.

The use, with the exception of the keeping of animals, is abandoned for ninety days, whether or not there was the intent to abandon such use.

(Ord. No. 1045, § 2(Exh. A), 9-8-2015)

Any person dissatisfied by an act or determination of an official of the city relating to the interpretation of this chapter may appeal such determination to the planning commission as provided in Chapter 17.86.
