2. 
The proposed use is compatible with the purpose of the zoning district that applies to the parcel; and

C. 
The Planning Manager may forward questions about permitted uses directly to the Planning Commission for an interpretation at a public hearing. The public hearing shall be scheduled as required in Chapter 19.80 for an appeal. The Planning Commission shall make a determination based on the criteria of subsection A as to which use type the proposed use fits into. The decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the Council pursuant to Chapter 19.80.

Design elements like planters, rocks, mulch, or similar elements are permitted when integrated as part of the landscape. All landscaping materials shall be mowed, trimmed, and maintained as often as necessary to prevent overgrowth and blight. No junk, debris, or other similar materials shall be stored in the landscaped setback area.
c. 
Height Restrictions for Landscaping Located in the Clear Vision Triangle. All landscaping located within the clear vision triangle for corner lots, as defined in Section 19.95.030 of this Code, shall not exceed three feet in height, except that trees exceeding three feet in height are allowed if the tree is maintained free of branches eight feet above the curb grade.

All minimum front yard and street side yard setbacks shall be landscaped, irrigated and maintained with primarily low ground cover or turf. The landscape shall include grass, annuals, perennials, groundcover, shrubs, trees, or other living vegetation. Synthetic grass or artificial turf may be used if it is permeable and has a minimum pile height of 1.25 inches. Design elements like planters, rocks, mulch, or similar elements are permitted when integrated as part of the landscape. All landscaping materials shall be mowed, trimmed, and maintained as often as necessary to prevent overgrowth and blight. No junk, debris, or other similar materials shall be stored in the landscaped setback area. Driveways and uncovered walkways are permitted to cross over the required front yard and street side yard setback.

b. 
Subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power;
c. 
That has been occupied by a tenant at any time within the past three years.
Demolition or alteration is permitted if none of the above conditions apply.
2. 
Use Restrictions.
a. 
Short-Term Rentals. Residential units constructed pursuant to this section may not be rented for a period of less than 31 consecutive calendar days. Accordingly, short-term rentals, as authorized pursuant to Chapter 4.25 (Short-Term Rentals), are not permitted for residential units constructed pursuant to this section.
b.

c. 
Use Classification. Whether they are detached or attached, residential units constructed pursuant to this section shall be considered single-family buildings.
3. 
Development Standards. The new structure(s) shall be consistent with the development standards of the zone district in which they are located, except:
a. 
Parking Requirements. No off-street parking shall be required for new residential units constructed pursuant to this section if the parcel is located within ½ mile walking distance of either a high-quality transit corridor as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21155(b), as may be amended from time to time; or a major transit stop, as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21064.3, as may be amended from time to time; or if there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the parcel.

c. 
Waivers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this section, a development standard applicable to the zone district in which the proposed residential units are located shall be waived if application of the standard would physically preclude either of the two residential units from being at least 800 square feet in floor area.
4. 
Site Limitations or Restrictions. To qualify for a second residential unit, a parcel shall meet the following criteria:
a. 
The parcel shall satisfy the requirements specified in Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(6)(B) to (K), as may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, not being within a special flood hazard area, a regulatory floodway, and/or a habitat for protected species.

5. 
Reasons for Denial of Permit. A building permit for a second residential unit or two new residential units, pursuant to this section, shall be denied by written findings of the building official where, based on a preponderance of the evidence, the building official has determined the housing development would have a specific, adverse impact as defined and determined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2), as may be amended from time to time, upon public health and safety or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact.

§ 19.14.010 Purpose.

This chapter provides regulations applicable to primary uses in the industrial zoning districts established by Section 19.06.010 (Zoning districts established). The industrial districts are as follows:
A. 
Industrial/Business Park (MP) District. The industrial/business park district is intended to designate areas appropriate for the development of a mixture of light industrial, office and commercial land uses. The use types permitted within the MP district do not include outdoor manufacturing but may include limited outdoor storage. These use types do not result in the emission of any appreciable amount of visible gasses, particulates, steam, heat, odor, vibration, glare, dust, or excessive noise and can be conditioned to be compatible when operating in close proximity to commercial and residential uses.
B. 
Light Industrial (M1) District. The light industrial district is intended to designate areas appropriate for light industrial uses such as manufacturing, processing, assembly, high technology, research and development and storage uses. The use types permitted within the M-1 district do not include outdoor manufacturing but may include limited outdoor storage and the emission of limited amount of visible gasses, particulates, steam, heat, odor, vibration, glare, dust, and noise. These uses may be compatible operating in relatively close proximity to commercial and residential uses.
C. 
General Industrial (M2) District. The general industrial district is intended to designate areas suitable for a broad range of industrial uses including manufacturing, assembly, wholesale distribution, and warehousing.
D. 
Industrial Mixed Use (MMU) District. This district is intended to promote a variety of industrial use types and the flexible citing of uses that are typically considered to be compatible with industrial development. It is the intent of the MMU zoning district to establish a mix of uses, which will be accompanied by overlay zones, to ensure that different industrial uses will be successfully integrated into desirable, cohesive industrial districts. The MMU zoning district shall always be applied in conjunction with either the DS (Development Standards) or SA (Special Area) overlay zones as described in Chapter 19.18.

§ 19.16.030 Civic and resource protection zone general development standards.

A. 
General. Permitted uses and structures shall comply with the City’s adopted Community Design Guidelines, applicable specific plans, and any other applicable requirements of this title.
B. 
Single-Family/Caretaker. Development standards shall be determined as part of an Administrative Permit or Conditional Use Permit.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.18.010 Purpose.

The overlay and special purpose zone districts established by this title provide guidance for development and new land uses in addition to the standards and regulations of the applicable zoning districts, where important site, neighborhood, or area characteristics require particular attention in project planning.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.18.020 Development standard (DS) district.

A. 
Purpose. The development standard (DS) district is an overlay district which allows modification of the specified development standards in general zone districts.
B. 
Application of Development Standard District. The City Council, in approving a zoning reclassification, may combine the development standard (DS) district with any zone district to establish, or modify, any or all of the following development standards:
1. 
Minimum lot size.
2. 
Minimum lot width.
3. 
Maximum lot depth.
4. 
Minimum yard setbacks.
5. 
Maximum coverage.
6. 
Minimum useable open space.
7. 
Maximum building height.
8. 
Principal building types.
9. 
Minimum landscaping setbacks.
10. 
Minimum parking ratios.
The modification shall be specifically stated in the ordinance. If a standard is not specifically addressed in the DS, it shall be governed by the requirements contained in the underlying zone district.
C. 
Application of Development Standard District in an Adopted Specific Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection B, an adopted specific plan may provide for designating the following standards with the approval of a Design Review Permit for Residential Subdivision (DRRS):
1. 
Minimum lot size.
2. 
Minimum lot width.
3. 
Maximum lot depth.
4. 
Minimum yard setbacks.
5. 
Maximum coverage.
6. 
Minimum useable open space.
The specific plan shall identify areas where this provision applies and, if applicable, minimum development standards. The Design Review Permit for residential subdivision shall be approved concurrently with the approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map.
D. 
Notice of Hearings Shall Include Modifications. Any notice of hearing for a reclassification to DS, development standard, shall include those standards proposed to be modified and the modifications proposed to be made. Provided, however, that the Planning Commission or City Council, as the case may be, may further modify or decline to modify said standards. The exception shall be where an adopted specific plan anticipates deviation and identifies the locations for anticipated deviations within the plan. In such cases, no development standards need be specified for a DS until processing a Design Review Permit for Residential Subdivisions (DRRS) concurrently with a tentative subdivision map.
E. 
Designation on the Zoning Map. A DS district shall be established with approval of a Zoning Ordinance amendment as specified in Chapter 19.86, and shall be designated on the Zoning Map following the underlying zoning district by the symbol “/DS” and the ordinance number. The ordinance number shall refer to the ordinance which adopted the DS district.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.18.030 Special area (SA) district.

A. 
Purpose. The SA, special area district is an overlay district which allows modification of the underlying general district regulations (including both permitted use types and development standards) by reference to regulations adopted either in a specific plan, which applies to the property so classified, or in the ordinance rezoning the property so classified.
B. 
Application of Special Area District. The City Council, in approving a zoning reclassification may combine the SA, special area district with any residential, commercial, industrial or urban reserve district. In combining the SA, special area district, the City Council may: delete principally permitted or conditionally permitted uses, may designate conditionally permitted uses as principally permitted uses, or require conditionally use permits for principally permitted uses. Provided, however, in all cases in which the SA, special area district is utilized, the permitted and conditionally permitted uses shall be consistent with any applicable specific plan.
C. 
Development Standards. Where property is zoned SA, special area district, development standards provided in the applicable adopted specific plan or the ordinance reclassifying the property shall supersede development standards contained in this title for the underlying zone district. If a standard is not addressed within the applicable specific plan or the ordinance reclassifying the property, it shall be governed by the standards established by the underlying zone district.
D. 
Designation on the Zoning Map. An SA, special area district shall be established with approval of a Zoning Ordinance amendment as specified in Chapter 19.86, and shall be designated on the Zoning Map with the underlying zone district by the symbol “/SA” followed by the ordinance number. The ordinance number shall refer to the ordinance which adopted the SA district. If an SA is within a specific plan, no ordinance number need be specified; provided, however, a reference to that specific plan is identified as follows: -SE (Southeast Roseville Specific Plan); -NE (Northeast Roseville Specific Plan); -NW (Northwest Roseville Specific Plan); -NC (North Central Roseville Specific Plan); -DW (Del Webb Specific Plan), -NR (North Roseville Specific Plan), -HR (Highland Reserve Specific Plan), -SR (Stoneridge Specific Plan), -WR (West Roseville Specific Plan), -RG (Riverside Gateway Specific Plan), -DT (Downtown Specific Plan), -AT (Atlantic Street Corridor Specific Plan), -DH (Douglas-Harding Corridor Specific Plan), and -DS (Douglas-Sunrise Corridor Specific Plan).
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014; Ord. 6603 § 1, 2023)

§ 19.18.040 Floodway (FW) and floodway fringe (FF) zones.

A. 
Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize those losses described in subsection B of this section by provisions designed to:
1. 
Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, or property in times of flood, or cause increases in flood heights or velocities.
2. 
Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including public facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction.
3. 
Protect individuals from buying lands which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood hazard.
4. 
Avoid unnecessary expenditures of public funds to remedy flood hazards resulting from imprudent uses of lands vulnerable to floods.
5. 
Maintain and preserve the existing stream channels and stream vegetation in as nearly natural condition as possible in order to preserve wildlife and fish habitat as well as to avoid the expenditure of public funds to remedy or avoid flood hazards, unnatural watercourse diversion, erosion, or situations caused by piecemeal alterations of natural watercourses and flood carrying areas, while balancing this need against the need to reduce the physical area of the floodplain.
6. 
Have individual property owners assume responsibility for their actions.
B. 
Findings of Fact.
1. 
The areas of special flood hazard of the City of Roseville are subject to periodic inundation which results in property, health, and safety hazards; disruption of commerce and governmental services; extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief; and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities, and, when structures are inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to flood loss.
2. 
Regulation of areas of special flood hazard is necessary because of the compelling need to insure safety and the availability of flood insurance to the residents of the City of Roseville, in that the government of the United States, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Insurance Agency, requires that these regulations be adopted before flood insurance can be obtained by residents.
C. 
Definitions.
Area of special flood hazard.
Land subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year.
Base flood.
The flood level having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.
Flood or flooding.
A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land area lying outside normal stream channel as result of one or more of the following occurrences or conditions: the overflow of inland or tidal waters, or the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source.
Flood insurance.
The insurance coverage provided under the National Flood Insurance Program.
Flood insurance rate map (FIRM).
An official map on which the Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards and the risk premium zones, on file in the office of the director of public works.
Flood, 100-year.
A flood estimated to occur at an average of once in 100 years (one percent frequency of occurrence), determined from an analysis of historical flood and rainfall records and computed in accordance with accepted methodology to the satisfaction of the public works director.
Floodproofing.
Any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes or adjustments to structures which reduce or eliminate flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water, and sanitary facilities, structures, and their contents.
Floodway.
The “Floodway” refers to those areas in and along Dry, Linda, Cirby and Antelope Creeks as shown in those certain aerial photographic maps designated as “Official Floodplain Maps” of the City of Roseville, dated October 1973 and kept and maintained in the office of the director of public works.
Floodway fringe.
The “floodway fringe” refers to those areas in and along Dry, Linda, Cirby and Antelope Creeks as shown in those certain aerial photographic maps designated as “Official Floodplain Maps” of the City of Roseville, dated October 1973 and kept and maintained in the office of the director of public works.
Freeboard.
The vertical height distance between the water surface elevation of the 100-year flood and typically the lowest habitable floor of a building or accessory structure. Freeboard represents a safety factor for flood protection and, as such, is also used in the design of levees and altered stream channels.
Lowest floor.
The lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement) of a structure. An unfurnished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for vehicular parking, building access, or storage, in an area other than a basement area, is not considered a structure’s lowest floor; provided, that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of any applicable non-elevation design requirements of this title.
Regulatory floodway.
The channel of a river, creek, or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot. The regulatory floodway is delineated on the FIRM.
D. 
Establishment of Flood Hazard Overlay Districts. That portion of the Official Zoning Map known as the Floodplain Map, which shall be kept on file in the office of the public works director. The map is broken into two districts: the “floodway (/FW) district” and the “floodway fringe (/FF) district.”
E. 
Applicability of Standards. In any district with which is combined a floodway (FW) district or a floodway fringe (FF) district, the regulations of this section shall apply in addition to those specified elsewhere in this title for such districts; provided, however, that in the event of conflict between this section and other provisions in this title, the regulations of this section shall govern, and all uses that are not permitted uses or permissible as flood encroachment uses within the floodway (FW) and floodway fringe (FF) districts are prohibited.
F. 
Floodway District (FW) Permitted Uses. The following uses, having a low flood damage potential and not obstructing flood flows, are permitted within the floodway (FW) district; provided, however, that no such use shall include structures, fill, or storage of materials or equipment. And further provided, however, that no such use shall adversely affect the capacity of the channels or floodways, or of any tributary to the main stream, drainage ditch, or any other drainage facility or system, nor shall any use increase the water surface elevation of the base flood:
1. 
Agricultural uses such as general farming, pasture, grazing, outdoor plant nurseries, horticulture, viticulture, truck farming, forestry, sod farming and wild crop harvesting.
2. 
Accessory industrial-commercial uses such as loading areas, parking areas, airport landing strips.

1. 
Uses or structures accessory to uses permitted by Article II (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses), but not including any structure designed or used for human residence.
2. 
Circuses, carnivals, and similar temporary or transient amusement enterprises.
3. 
Drive-in theaters, new and used car lots, temporary roadside stands, and freestanding signs or billboards (where permitted by the Sign Ordinance of the City of Roseville, Roseville Municipal Code Title 17).
4.

2. 
Structures, including residential structures and mobile homes.
I. 
Standards for Floodway and Floodway Fringe Uses. The following standards shall govern use of land zoned either floodway (FW) or floodway fringe (FF) district.
1. 
General Standards. All uses shall comply with the provisions of this subsection. No structure (temporary or permanent), fill (including fill for roads and levees), obstruction, excavation, storage of materials or equipment, or other use is allowed which, acting alone or in combination with existing or future uses: adversely affects the capacity of the regulatory floodway or of areas where base flood elevations have been determined, but floodways have not been determined; increases peak flow; adversely affects the stream channel; increases flood heights; or is likely to have an adverse effect on a proposed use. Consideration of the effects of a proposed use shall be based on a reasonable assumption that there will be an equal degree of encroachment extending for a significant reach on both sides along the stream. All uses shall:
a. 
Be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage.
b. 
Be located and constructed to minimize flood damage.
c. 
Provide adequate drainage to reduce flood hazards.
2. 
Fill or Excavation Standards. Uses involving any grading, fill, or excavations shall comply with the following standards, in addition to those in subsection G.
a. 
Any fill proposed to be deposited in the regulatory floodway must be shown to have some beneficial purpose, and the amount of fill shall not be greater than is necessary to achieve that purpose, as demonstrated by a plan submitted by the owner showing the uses to which the filled land will be put and the final dimensions of the proposed fill or other materials or excavations.
b. 
Such fill or other materials or area of excavation shall be protected against erosion by rip-rap, vegetative cover, or bulkheading.
3. 
Standards for Structures. All uses involving any structures, whether temporary or permanent, shall comply with the following standards, in addition to those contained in subsection G.
a. 
Structures designed or used for human residence are not permitted in the floodway (FW) zone.
b. 
Structures shall have a low flood damage potential.
c. 
Structures shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to not obstruct the flow of floodwaters.
i. 
Whenever possible, structures shall be constructed with the longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of floodflow;
ii. 
Structures shall be firmly anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy.
d. 
Service or utility facilities, such as electrical and heating equipment, shall be constructed at least one foot above the base flood elevation or shall be floodproofed.
e. 
In all new construction and substantial improvements, fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria: A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
f. 
Structures, including residential structures, which are constructed on fill shall be elevated so that the lowest floor is at least one foot above the base flood elevation. Nonresidential structures may be floodproofed in compliance with subsection (I)(3)(e) in lieu of elevation.
g. 
All structures shall be certified upon completion in the “as built” condition by a licensed land surveyor or a registered civil engineer permitted to practice land surveying that the elevation of the lowest floors, including any basement, are at least one foot above the base flood elevation, or have been floodproofed in compliance with subsection (I)(3)(e), provided, that minor additions to existing single-family residences may be constructed at the same level as the existing house.
h. 
Mobile homes shall be elevated above the base flood as provided in subsection (I)(3)(f) and shall additionally be anchored as provided in subsection (I)(3)(c).
i. 
All construction shall be with materials resistant to flood damage.
4. 
Storage of Material or Equipment. All uses involving the storage of materials or equipment shall comply with the following standards, in addition to those in subsection (I)(3)(i).
a. 
The storage or processing of materials that are buoyant, flammable, toxic, explosive, or could be injurious to human, animal, or plant life, in time of flooding, is prohibited.
b. 
Storage of other material or equipment may be allowed if it is not subject to major damage by floods and is readily removable from the area within the time available after flood warning.
c. 
All materials or equipment shall be kept anchored or otherwise restrained to prevent them from being carried downstream by floodwaters.
d. 
This subsection shall not apply to ordinary household/residential items in amounts normally kept in residences.
5. 
Procedure. Except for those matters required to be accomplished after construction, the project proponent shall demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this section either at the hearing of the Approving Authority for those projects requiring a flood encroachment permit, or prior to issuance of any building, grading, or occupancy permit for projects not requiring a flood encroachment permit.
J. 
Criteria for Development Approval. In passing upon such applications for flood encroachment permits, the Approving Authority shall consider all relevant factors specified in this section and:
1. 
The danger to life and property due to increased flood heights or velocities caused by encroachments.
2. 
The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands or downstream to the injury of others.
3. 
The proposed water supply and sanitation systems, and the ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamination and unsanitary conditions.
4. 
The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage, and the effect of such damage on the individual owner.
5. 
The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community.
6. 
The requirements of the facility for a waterfront location.
7. 
The availability of alternative locations not subject to flooding for the proposed use.
8. 
The compatibility of the proposed use with existing development and development anticipated in the foreseeable future.
9. 
The compatibility of the proposed use to the general plan and floodplain management program for the area.
10. 
The safety and availability of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles.
11. 
The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site.
12. 
The compatibility of the proposed use with preservation of valuable fish and wildlife habitat.
13. 
Such other factors which are relevant to the purposes of this section.
K. 
Conditions Attached to Flood Encroachment Permits. Upon consideration of the factors listed in subsection J and the purposes of this section, the Approving Authority may attach such conditions to the granting of flood encroachment permits as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this section. Among such conditions, without limitation because of specific enumeration, may be included:
1. 
Modification of waste disposal and water supply facilities.
2. 
Limitations on periods of use and operation.
3. 
Imposition of operational controls, sureties, and deed restrictions.
4. 
Requirements for construction of channel modifications, dikes, levees, and other protective measures.
5. 
Floodproofing measures shall be designed consistent with the base flood protection elevation for the particular area, flood velocities, durations, rate of rise, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, and other factors associated with the base flood. The review body shall require that the applicant submit a plan or document certified by a registered professional engineer that the floodproofing measures are consistent with the base flood protection elevation and associated flood factors for the particular area. The following floodproofing measures, without limitation because of specific enumeration, may be required:
a. 
Anchorage to resist flotation and lateral movement. In the case of mobile homes or additions to mobile homes, the anchoring shall be by one of the following methods, and shall be certified to in the “as built” condition by a registered professional engineer:
i. 
An anchoring system designed to withstand at a minimum, horizontal forces of 15 pounds per square foot and uplift forces of nine pounds per square foot; or
ii. 
By anchoring the unit’s system in compliance with the Department of Housing and Development Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards and FEMA Manual No. 85, “Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas” (Sept. 1985).
b. 
Installation of watertight doors, bulkheads, and shutters or similar methods of construction.
c. 
Reinforcement of walls to resist water pressures.
d. 
Use of paints, membranes or mortars to reduce seepage of water through walls.
e. 
Addition of mass or weight to structures to resist flotation.
f. 
Installation of pumps to lower water levels in structures.
g. 
Construction of water supply and waste treatment systems so as to prevent the entrance of floodwaters.
h. 
Pumping facilities or comparable practices for subsurface drainage systems for buildings to relieve external foundation wall and basement flood pressures.
i. 
Construction to resist rupture or collapse caused by water pressure to floating debris.
j. 
Installation of valves or controls on sanitary and storm drains which will permit the drains to be closed to prevent backup of sewage and storm waters into the buildings or structures. Gravity draining of basements may be eliminated by mechanical devices.
k. 
Location of all water supply systems, sanitary sewer systems, on-site waste disposal systems, electrical equipment, circuits and installed electrical appliances in a manner which will assure they are not subject to flooding or infiltration of floodwaters and to provide protection from contamination or inundation by the base flood.
l. 
Location of any structural storage facilities for chemicals, explosives, buoyant materials, flammable liquids, or other toxic material which could be hazardous to public health, safety, and welfare in a manner which will assure that the facilities are situated at elevations above the height associated with the base flood protection elevation or are adequately floodproofed to prevent flotation of storage containers, or damage to storage containers which could result in the escape of toxic materials into floodwaters.
L. 
Records. The public works director shall maintain records of certifications of floor elevations, floodproofing and encroachments as required by law.
M. 
Maintenance of Pre-Existing Uses. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the normal, ordinary, or necessary maintenance or repair of a pre-existing, nonconforming use or structure in accordance with Chapter 19.24 of this title. It is the intent of this section that current lawful uses of floodprone lands shall be grandfathered and permitted.
N. 
Violation. It is unlawful for any person to maintain, use, grade, or fill any property zoned floodway (FW) or floodway fringe (FF) in violation of this section, or to violate any condition of a flood encroachment permit granted pursuant to this section, or to violate any other provision of this chapter.
O. 
Conflict. Where the provisions of this section conflict with the provisions of Roseville Municipal Code Chapter 9.80, the more restrictive language shall govern.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)

§ 19.18.050 Planned development (PD) district.

A. 
Purpose. The planned development district is a special purpose district and may be established with the approval of a Zoning Ordinance amendment pursuant to Chapter 19.86 of this title. It is intended to be applied in circumstances where:
1.

D. 
Property Development Standards. In order to allow maximum flexibility in designing a project compatible with the physical features of the property, its intended uses and the objectives of this chapter, minimum property development standards shall be developed within each individual PD district. The Council shall determine appropriate amounts of landscaping, open space, setbacks and distances between buildings, and other development standards as are appropriate for the specific uses requested at the time of consideration of the PD district. These standards shall be adopted by ordinance. The applicant shall submit the proposed development standards with the application for a Zoning Ordinance amendment. Such information shall be submitted in a form as specified by the Planning Manager.
The development standards shall contain the following information:
1. 
A statement regarding the purpose of the zone and the character of the design which is to be accomplished;
2. 
A list of proposed land uses, including: uses to be permitted by right, uses which may be permitted through Administrative Permit approval, uses that may be permitted by a Conditional Use Permit, and permitted accessory uses;
3. 
A list of development standards for main and accessory buildings, including: setbacks, building height, maximum and minimum floor area ratios, parking, landscaping, fencing, screening, architectural projections;
4. 
Graphic and written materials depicting conceptual building, landscape and sign design standards for scale, form, materials and textures, and physical arrangements between buildings; and

In submitting its recommendation to the Council, the Planning Commission shall make findings on the following:
1. 
Whether the proposal is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan and the extent to which the PD district is necessary to implement policies and objectives of any applicable plan;
2. 
Whether the PD district provides for building types and uses which are well designed, well-coordinated, and attractive;
3. 
Whether the PD district is compatible with the surrounding land uses; and
4. 
Whether the PD district is consistent with adopted design guidelines.
