Before completing the draft Fault Rupture Hazard Analysis, the preparer shall consult directly with any person whom or organization which the preparer believes will be concerned with the geologic haz- ards in the project area and with other public agencies involved in carrying out or approving the project. 2. The draft Fault Rupture Hazard Analysis shall contain the following information, in form as approved by the Director of Community Development pertaining to the entirety of the proposed project: a. The Analysis shall be a combined in-depth geologic and soils investigation prepared by a registered geologist, certified by the State of California as an engineering geologist and by a licensed civil engineer qualified in soil mechanics. b. Required geologic and soils investigations shall include the following: (1) Text (a) Purpose and scope of investigation (b) Geologic setting (c) Site description and conditions. Include information on geologic units, graded and filled areas, vegetation, existing struc- tures, etc., that may affect the choice of investigative methods and the interpretation of data. (d) Methods of investigation (i) Review of published and unpublished literature and records concerning geo- logic units, faults, ground-water bar- riers, etc. (ii) Interpretation of aerial photographs and other remotely sensed images to detect fault-related topography, vegetation and soil contrasts, and other lineaments of possible fault origin. (iii) Surface observations, including mapping of geologic units and structures, topo- graphic features, springs, deformation of man-made structures, etc., both on and beyond the site. (iv) Subsurface investigations (A) Trenching and other extensive excavations to permit detailed and direct observation of continuously exposed geologic units and features which must be carefully logged. (B) Borings and test pits to permit collection of data on geologic units and ground water at specific locations. Data points must be sufficient in number and adequately spaced to permit valid correlations and interpretations. (v) Geophysical investigations (A) Seismic refraction (B) Magnetic intensity (C) Other (e.g., electrical resistivity, seismic reflection, gravity) (vi) Other methods should be included when special conditions permit, or require- ments for critical stuctures demand, a more intensive investigation. (A) Aerial reconnaissance overflights (B) Geodetic and strain measurements, microseismicity monitoring, or other monitoring techniques. (C) Radiometric analysis, stratigraphic correlation, soil profile develop- ment paleomagnetism, or other age- dating techniques to identify the age of faulted or unfaulted units or surfaces. (e) Conclusions (i) Location and existence (or absence) of hazardous faults on or adjacent to the site. (ii) Type of faults and nature of anticipated offset: direction of relative displace- ment and maximum displacement that is .possible. (iii) Probability of or relative potential for future surface displacement. The likeli- hood of future ground rupture can seldom be stated mathematically, but may be stated in semi-quantitative terms such as low, moderate, or high. (iv) Degree of confidence in and limitations of data and conclusions. (f) Recommendations (i) Set-back distances from hazardous faults, if appropriate. State and local law may dictate minimum standards. (ii) Risk evaluations relative to the proposed development--professional opinions are acceptable. (2) References (a) Literature and records cited and reviewed. (b) Aerial photographs or images interpreted--list type, scale, source, index numbers, etc. (c) Other sources of information including well records, personal communications, and other data sources. (3) Illustrations - these .are essential to the understanding of the report and to reduce the length of text. (a) Location map - identify site locality, significant faults, geographic features, seismic epicenters, and other pertinent data; 1:24,000 is recommended. (b) Site development map - show site boundaries, existing and proposed structure, graded areas, streets, exploratory trenches, borings, geo- physical traverses, and other data; recommen- ded scale is 1 inch equals 100 feet, or larger. (c) Geologic map - shows distribution of geologic units (if more than one), faults and other stuctures, geomorphic features, aerial photo lineaments, and springs; on topographic map 1:24,000 scale or larger; can be combined with 3 (a) or 3 (b) . (d) Geologic cross-sections, if needed to provide 3-dimensional picture. (e) Logs of exploratory trenches and borings -- show details of observed features and condi- tions; should not be generalized or diagram- matic. (f) Geophysical data and geologic interpretations.

The reponses to significant geologic hazards identified shall describe the disposition of such issues (e.g., revisions to the proposed project to mitigate the anticipated geologic impact). f. In the event that significant geologic hazards are identified or objections made, and mitigation or other measures to reduce the impact of such significant hazards are rejected, such rejections must be addressed in detail giving reasons why such specific measures were not accep- ted and factors of overriding importance warranting an override of the suggested mitigation measures. E. The final Fault Rupture Hazard Analysis shall then be presented to that agency of the City which first must consider the project. Such presentation shall not occur until at least 30 days subse- quent to the mailing of any notice specified in subparagraph 17.07.040C. Such agency of the City shall certify that the final Fault Rupture Analysis, including any modifications, additions or deletions to the Analysis presented to the agency which the agency deems appro- priate, has been completed in compliance with this ordinance and that it has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Fault Ruture Hazard Analysis. Such certification shall be by resolution or minute motion and shall occur prior to the render- ing of any decision approving a project. Such certification, as well as any subsequent certification by the City Council, shall be completed within one (1) year from the date the application for the project is accepted as complete. All time limits de- scribed herein may be extended once for a maximum of 90 days if compelling circumstances justify such extension, and the appli- cant agrees thereto. If the City Council makes the final de- cision on a project subsequent to consideration thereof by another City agency, e.g., the Planning Commission, the City Council shall certify as stated above in this subparagraph 17.07.040C.

Minimizing the danger imposed on the public health, safety, and welfare by soil erosion, slippage, flooding and fire. B. Minimizing the disturbance of the natural terrain and thereby conserving the aesthetic qualities afforded by these areas. Accordingly, additional regulations must be to prevent unacceptable increases in hazard adverse changes in community character, and velopment of hillside areas consistent with acter and enhance public safety and general tion and management of significant environm~ applied to hillside areas and environmental damage, to promote orderly de- existing community char- welfare and the conserva- antal resources. Section 17.10.020 Permitted Uses. The uses permitted in this zone shall be those allowed in the underlying zones established pursuant to this title, and the requirements of this chapter shall be in addi- tion to and supplemental to the provisions of the underlying zone. If there is a conflict between the requirements of this Chapter and any other provisions of the Code, the provisions of this Chapter shall prevail. Section 17.10.030 Hillside Development Project Define. Applications for a Hillside Development Permit shall be filed within the Planning Division if the project is within the designated Hillside Develop- ment District area adopted by resolution of the City Council. In any base district where the district symbol is followed by, as a part of such symbol, parenthetically enclosed letters "HPD", thus (HPD), the additional requirement, limitations and standards contained in this section shall apply. The district symbol shall constitute the "base district" and the "HPD" suffix shall constitute the "overlay district". In the event of conflicting provisions of such a combined district, the requirements of the "HPD" district shall take precedence over the requirements of the base district. Uses permitted by the "HPD" district, must in each instance be in compliance with those uses permitted by the applicable base district regulations and any other overlay district regulations.

This report shall provide consideration for each lot or dwelling unit site in a proposed Hillside Development Project. Run-off and debris amounts shall be computed using County Flood Control District criteria. The investigation and report shall be completed by a registered civil engineer experienced in the science of hydrology in- vestigation. Section 17.10.060 Landscapina. A. A landscaping plan consistent with the standards set forth herein subject to approval by the appropriate body shall be submitted for all Hillside Development Projects. Failure to irrigate and maintain landscaping according to these approved plans shall be in violation of this Code. B. Landscaping shall emphasize the use and management of native plants. Care should be taken in plan selection and main- tenance to avoid plants of high flammability either due to their intrinsic quality or the cumulative effect of dense planting especially in proximity to structures. C. All native vegetation on property will be allowed to remain. If trees or groundcover are added they ,shall conform to the following requirements: 1. All groundcover within ten feet of the structure shall not be more than three feet in height. 2.

Trees and nonnative evergreen shrubs shall not be within ten feet of chimneys and should not otherwise present unusual fire hazards. Section 17.10.070 Gradina. Grading requirements shall be those referenced in most recently adopted grading ordinance and attached diagram. Section 17.10.080 Streets.. Street development standards shall be those referenced in the land division ordinance and attached diagram. The city engineer may impose special design considerations upon streets due to health and safety, geologic, hydrologic, road main- tenance, or other reasons which may adversely affect the project. Appeal of City Engineer's requirement shall go directly to the city council. Section 17.10.090 Setback Reauirements. Setback requirements must be consistent with the requirements of the underlying zoning desig- nation and the usable yard area requirements listed in this section. For the purposes of this section, "usable" is defined as having a gradient not exceeding that of the balance of the building pad, or five percent (5%), which ever is the lesser. A. Within Single-Family Districts a usable rear yard of at least fifteen feet (15') from building to slope shall be provided. B. Within Multiple-Family Districts a usable rear yard of at least ten feet (10') from building to slope shall be provided. C.

The following general provisions are intended to apply to all projects within. the City of Lake Elsinore regardless of zoning district. However, these standards shall take precedence only when a specific zoning district regulation does not specify greater or more restrictive criteria. Where a provision is expressed as a design guideline, said provision shall be a principal factor in the consideration of any project and subsequent approval(s). Section 17.14.020 Manufactured Housina. A. Definition: "Manufactured home" or "manufactured housing" shall include mobilehomes and refer to all housing units built in a factory in one or more sections to the specifications of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards .Act of 1974, transported over the highways to a permanent occu- pancy site, and installed on the site with a permanent foundation. B. Locations: Manufactured housing shall be a permitted use in those areas of the city which meet the following requirements. 1. Single-family dwellings are permitted by the underlying zone. 2. Contain vacant lots compatible with manufactured housing use by reason of size and existing residential development. C. Desian Review Approval Reauired: Each manufactured home instal- led on a lot in a designated area shall require Design Review approval pursuant to Chapter 17.82. D. Standards: Each manufactured home shall comply with all of the development standards of the applicable zoning district in which it is proposed to be located and meet the following additional minimum standards: 1.

Section 17.14.040 Agricultural Land Use. In any district the use of the land for horticultural uses may be permitted to continue subject to a use permit pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 17.74 until such time as the property is developed in accordance with the provisions of the district. Section 17.14.050 Acoustical Analysis. Within all residential structures, noise levels from exterior sources shall be mitigated so as not to exceed an interior CNEL level of 45 dba with windows closed. To ensure that this standard is complied with, the follow- ing requirements shall apply: A. For projects consisting of four (4) or more single-family dwellings or any number of multiple-family dwellings, pro- posed to be located in an area where the noise level from any source has the potential to exceed a CNEL of 65 dba, an acoustical analysis, including on-site monitoring prior to building final, shall be performed by an engineer specializ- ing in acoustics. B. For projects consisting of four (4) or more single-family dwellings or any number of multiple family dwellings, pro- posed to be located in an area where the noise level from any source has the potential to exceed a CNEL of between 55 and 65 dba, the developer shall provide verification on the structural drawings for building permit, by an engineer specializing in acoustics, that the buildings will comply with the City's 45 dba CNEL interior noise level requirement. C. For any project where residents may be subjected to an inter- mitten single event noise source which, though irregular in occurence, may cause an interior noise level of greater than 45 dba and therefore .prove to be a nuisance, the Planning Commission, pursuant to design review approval, may require the mitigation measures contained in either subsections a and/or b above. Section 17.14.060 Landscaping.. All attached single-family, condominium, and/or multiple-family projects shall have all landscap- ing and irrigation in at time of occupancy. All properties, shall be responsible for landscaping and maintenance of adjacent parkways. Section 17.14.070 Projections Into Reauired Yards. Subject to the applicable design review approval, roof over-hangs and decorative architectural features such as fireplaces, bay windows, and similar elements may project a maximum of two (2) feet into any required yard setbacks. Structural features such as exposed stair-cases and bal- .conies may encroach a maximum of four (4) side and rear yard setbacks. However, in tion encroach closer than three (3) feet Section 17.14.080 Fences and Walls. feet into any required no case shall any projec- to a property line.. A. Height: The required height of all side and rear property line fences or walls shall be a minimum of six (6) feet. However, along a major arterial the Planning Commis- sion, pursuant to design review approval, may require a minimum fence or wall height of eight (8) feet. In re- quired front yards the maximum height of a fence or wall shall be thirty-six (36) inches; with the exception that wrought- iron fences may be five (5) feet in height. The height of fences and walls shall be determined as mea- sured from the highest grade elevation on either side of the fence or wall. B. Materials: All tract perimeter walls and/or any wall adjacent to any principal street identified in the General Plan Circulation element shall be constructed of decorative masonry block unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission. However, nothing con- tained within this section is intended to preclude the Planning Commission from requiring similar walls under other circumstances. Section 17.14.090 Rear Treatment. In order to improve the appear- ance of a project from adjacent right-of-ways, the rear elevation of any unit facing a right-of-way shall receive special architectural enhancement. Section 17.14.100 Distances Between Structures. Where there is more than one structure on a site, the minimum distance between a structure used for human habitation and another structure shall be ten (10) feet, provided however, that an unenclosed, trellis-type cover may be used to connect the structures. Section 17.14.110 Mailboxes. Curb-side mailboxes for single-fam- ily dwellings and communal mailboxes for multiple-family or condo- minium projects shall be installed pursuant to the design standard on file with the Building and Safety Division. The location of all mailboxes shall be reviewed with the Planning Division prior to in- stallation. Common-collection mailboxes should be located in deco- rative housings which incorporate similar materials, colors, and textures utilized on the main buildings. The area for the mailboxes should be of sufficient size to enable residents to pick up or depo- sit mail without have to encroach upon landscaping, walks, or parking. Section 17.14.120 Trash Storaae Areas. Trash enclosures shall be constructed pursuant to the City's standard design on file with the Department of Building and Safety. In addition, the following shall apply: A. Multi-family Projects: Enclosures shall be provided based on a ratio of one, three-cubic yard contained enclosure for each eight (8) dwelling units. Enclosures shall be placed in a location convenient to the dwelling unit(s) it is intended to serve; in no case, however, shall the enclosure be located further than one- hundred (100) feet from the associated unit(s). A decorative trellis work or other approved screening shall be incorporated into the design of any enclosure located within 25 feet of a two-story building having windows overlooking the enclosure. B. Attached Single-Family Projects: Where there is no direct ac- cess to a yard area and trash containers may have to be carried through the dwelling unit, then a space shall be provided in the garage with a minimum area of eight (8) square feet, and said area shall not encroach upon the required parking space. Section 17.14.130 Desian: Sinale-Family Detached. A. Siting: Houses should be designed and sited to conform to the natural terrain as much as possible and to take advan- tage of views. In tracts, houses should be located on their lots so as to create interest and varying vistas as a person moves along the street. In order to prevent a tract from exhibiting a row-house effect, no more than two adjacent residences should have the same setback; and the minimum setback variation should be three (3) feet. Care should be exercised that no house is located in such a manner to create an objectionable overview which invades the privacy of an adjoining unit. B. Architecture: The City encourages variations of architectural theme. However, it shall be the responsibility of the designer to coordinate the design with adjacent developments so that the design does not conflict with the character of the neighbor- hood as a whole. Within a tract, architectural styles should remain uniform. Material changes within a building shall be off- set in plane or an entirely different design element. Detailing of construction elements is another important consideration. For example, exterior metal portions of the structure (i.e. vent pipes and flashings) should be painted to blend with the adjacent roof or wall material. In addition, the vent pipes should be consoli- dated where possible by design. Also, thought should be given to locating mechanical units in some area other than the roof. Where units are located on the roof, then the units shall be screened in a manner that is architecturally integrated with the design of the house. C. Colors and Materials: No project should use the same color from house to house, however, no one structure should be at such variance with its neigh- bors that it detracts from the character of the street as a whole. D. Fencing: Solid fences or walls a minimum of six (6) feet in height shall be provided to screen side and rear yard areas from all streets. Solid fences should also be provided along side and rear lot lines of small lots, not located in hillside areas, to provide privacy and screening between lots. E. Roofing: All new dwelling units, and dwelling units which are completely reroofed, shall utilize roofing materials with a minimum Class "A" Fire rating. Section 17.14.140 Design: Attached Single-Family and Multible- Family Dwellinas. The City of Lake Elsinore subscribes to the be- lief that attached housing can be interesting and attractive and represent an alternative housing form which offers its own distinc- tive amenities. The following development concepts shall be com- plied with by all attached single-family and multiple-family devel- opments in order to ensure attainment of these goals. A. Siting: Units that are clumped in square monotonous buildings offer neither privacy nor attractive styling. There- . fore, building orientations and setbacks should be varied to create changing vistas and to breakup the impact of long building lengths. Whenever possible, end units should be single story to lower the overall scale of the building. B. Architecture: Exterior treatments should be innovative and varied and employ much the same materials, ele- ments, and features to be found in single-family detached units. Roof and wall planes should vary not only on the unit. but also between units. Pitched roofs should be used in lieu of flat roofs as they are more interesting and can lend detached character to a project. To prevent a "tunnel" effect from being created around entries, the second story portion of any unit adjacent to the entry should be set back from the edge of the one-story roof. C. Privacy: Front and back walls should be staggered to block views from unit to unit. Front doors should be prominent yet separate to give units individual entry identity and yet provide privacy. Landscaped walkways and thought- ful uses of fencing and trellises should also be used to make doorways and courtyards more private. Consi- deration for privacy should also extend to upper floors where juxta-position of walls, wing walls, railings and similar architectural treatments can provide the neces- sary separation and buffering. D. Noise Intrusion: Care should be exercised that elements such as parking areas (whether covered or open) and recreation areas are adequately separated or buffered through design or architectural treat- ment to prevent impact on living areas of adja- cent units. E. Fencing: Where the yard area of a unit adjoins common open-space, fences and walls should be designed to use materials which are open (wrought-iron, etc.) and permit the occupant to view and enjoy the common area. F. Roofing: All new dwelling units, and dwelling units which are completely reroofed, shall utilize roofing materials with a minimum Class "A" Fire rating. G. Parking Structures: Parking structures should receive the same architectural consideration as the main living units and exhibit the use of similar materials, colors, and textures. The design threshold for freestanding carports should be rough-sawn wood framing with crushed- tile roofing. All required parking should be located within 100 feet of the unit it is intended to serve. H. Recreation Areas:- Recreation areas should be of sufficient size and shape to be practical and generally accep- table for the intended facilities. The area should be centrally located and be a predomi- nant visual feature within the project. Good visibility is especially important with regards to the location of children's play areas. All recreational areas, however, should be located so as to provide adequate separation between the facilities and conflicting uses such as parking, drive aisles, or impacting uses on adjacent properties, so as to be conveniently accessible from any portion of the project. In addition, the location should provide ade- quate separation for the facility from con- flicting uses such as parking, drive aisles, or impacting uses on adjacent properties. Section 17.14.150 Circulation Patterns. Local residential street patterns should be encouraged to be indirect and to create identi- fiable access to minimize through traffic on residential neighborhood streets, thus promoting safety and high levels of psychological security. Even the smallest of subdivisions should use cul-de-sacs, loop streets, motor courts, common or private courts to increase the richness of inlying neighborhoods. Streets should not directly connect through a subdivision but provide indirect access. Residential streets which connect higher order streets often become shortcuts, thereby increasing the traffic load on purely residential streets and impairing residential identity and security. An indirect local street system also can have a real effect on crime reduction as strange vehicles or persons are noticed and police have the advantage in pursuit and apprehension. Intersections should be avoided at curves, being better placed on tangents. The total number of intersections should be minimized.

The use shall not generate pedestrian or vehicular traffic beyond that normal to the district or neighborhood in which it is located, considering both type and frequency of such traffic. C. The use shall not involve the use of commercial vehicles for delivery of materials to or from the premises, other than delivery services such as United Parcel Service which may normally be expected to serve a residential neighborhood. D. No signs shall be displayed in connection with the home occupation, and there shall be no advertising which can be construed as encouraging customers, clients or the public to visit the premises. E. There shall be no alteration of the residential character of the premises and in no way shall the appearance of the dwell- ing or an accessory building be so altered, or the conduct of the occupation be such, that the premises, dwelling, or accessory building may be reasonably recognized as serving a nonresidential use (either by materials, construction, color, lighting, signs, sounds or noise, vibrations, etc.) F. There shall be no use of utilities or community facilities beyond that normal to the use of the property for residential purposes as defined in the district. G. Storage and parking of vehicles on the premises, used in conjunction with the home occupation shall be limited to automobiles and light trucks, not exceeding one and a half (1-1/2) ton capacity. H. No vehicle or trailer displaying signs shall be parked in a manner that would attract or draw attention to the premises. I. Any trailer or other towed vehicles used in conjunction with the home occupation shall be parked or stored behind the re- quired front yard setback and shall be screened from any public right-of-way. J. No person shall work at the subject premises, or report for work at the subject premises, as part of the home occupation, other than members of the resident family who permanently reside on the premises. K. The home occupation shall not involve maintenance of an office that is open to persons other than members of the resident family who permanently reside on the premises. L. The garage shall neither be altered nor used so as to reduce the number of .parking spaces required by the district within which the use is located M. There shall be no outside storage of stock, merchandise, scrap supplies, or other materials on the premises. N. Storage of any hazardous, toxic, or combustible materials associated with business operations shall be prohibited.

The City of Lake Elsinore is primarily a rural-residential community. Accordingly, commercial and industrial development should be designed to reflect the residential nature and character of the city and to recognize and maintain the development patterns, landscape features, materials and forms that are fundamen- tal to the City's environmental setting. A visitor to the City should not sense a great distinction between land use zones but rather should find such similar attributes as well landscaped yard areas and attractive and visually interesting buildings providing a harmonious transition between Districts. The "Business Park" concept probably best illustrates the character of development that the city desires and encourages. The most repre- sentative look of this concept is a street bordered by decoratively landscaped setback areas with attractive buildings and well land- scaped parking lots just beyond. Outdoor work areas and storage are well screened. Among the basic principles necessary to achieve this image are the following: A. Sitina: Projects should present a clean and attractive street- scape while satisfying the functional needs of the owner or tenant. The focus of the project should not be on such unat- tractive entities as storage yards, loading activities, or mechanical equipment; but should instead be on those items that are inherently attractive or can be visually enhanced such as landscaping, natural lot features, entrances, major tenant structures. Buildings should be located to the front of the site and work areas to the rear. Where the work areas remain visible to a public right-of-way they should be screened using walls, gates, landscaping or combinations thereof. Trash should be located in the work areas and appropriately screened. B. Architecture: All buildings should be designed to enhance their surroundings. Variety of building design and form is encouraged, however consideration should be given to patterns of neighboring development so that no project interferes with the privacy, quiet, view or function of its neighbors or is at such architectural variance that its design detracts from the district as a whole. Industrial buildings by their very nature tend to be quite large and box-like. However, buildings that are merely undifferentia- ted rectangular forms, i.e., plain boxes, will not satisfy the City's aesthetic requirements. Instead, buildings shall be expected to employ treatments, such as the staggering of planes along exterior walls to create pockets of light and shadow, to break. up the mass and provide relief from monotonous, uninter- rupted expanses of wall. Other features, such as the use of curved corners and varying roof lines should also be considered as means to dramatically change the appearance and add vitality. In order to improve the appearance of a project from adjacent right-of-ways, the rear elevation of those structures facing the right-of-way should receive special architectural enhancement. Screen walls and accessory structures (i.e. canopies, etc.) which adjoin the building should be treated as extensions of the build- ing and therefore employ design elements reflective of the pri- mary architecture. Signs and gxaphics also play an important role, and therefore from the start the building design should allocate space for the logical and integrated placement of signs (including address). Finally, there are a myriad of miscellaneous concerns that can impact the appearance of the building and need to be addressed. These include such matters as zero lot-line parapets, grade differentials, exiting requirements, ect. As a rule these matters should be resolved in a way which accommodates the pri- mary architectural statement of the building. For example, in the case of the zero lot-line parapet, adjoining parapets should be raised the additional amount so that the building's exterior design treatment is continuous and unbroken. C. Colors and Materials: Sensitive alteration of colors and mater- ials should be used to produce diversity and enhance architectu- ral effects. While no category of exterior materials is consi- dered "correct," the use of a particular material should, as a rule, exemplify the special characteristics of the product or be demonstrative of its unique application. For example, the use of tilt-up panels employing .formed designs or with exposed aggre- gate is preferable to smooth-surfaced or painted panels. Simi- larly, metal as an enhancement material is accceptable while plain metal buildings are not. Paint, in general, should be con- sidered an enhancement tool but should not be considered a re- placement for the use of textured surfaces. D. Ancillary Eauipment: Another important consideration is that the myriad of attendant mechanical and electrical equipment associa- ted with the building not disrupt or detract from the architec- ture. To this end, all roof equipment should be screened from view from off-site; and the required screening should be provided as an integral aspect of the building's design. Where design necessitates the use of add-on screening, such screening shall be constructred of anodized aluminum or similar durable material (wood screens are not acceptable). Wall mounted items such as roof-ladders and electrical panels should be located within the interior of the building or in specially designed areas. Where down-spouts are visible from a public right-of-way they too should be located within the interior-. of the building. E. Entrances: The treatment of major building entrances is an impor- tant aspect of strengthening tenant identity and thereby helping to assure the continued viability of an industrial project. The closer a company is associated with its facility, the more likely that company will maintain the facility in good condition.. To assure good entries, project design shall incorporate special architectural and landscape enhancement features at entry areas to serve to focus the attention of visitors. Such features shall include measures to separate and ease pedestrian access from park- ing areas and to separate the entries from the more intense work areas. F. Loadina Areas: The primary objective of the design of loading areas should be to make then useful. There should be adequate truck maneuvering area for the size of truck anticipated. Trucks utilizing loading docks should not encroach upon drive aisles or parking spaces. In no case should trucks have to use public right-of-way to maneuver into a loading space and this shall in- clude the necessity to have to back from a public right-of-way. Secondly, in order to maintain attractive vistas within commercial and industrial areas, loading doors should be screened to prevent direct visibility into them from adjacent streets. Such screening should be provided as an aspect of the integral design of the building. Landscaping may be used to provide supplemental screen- ing provided sufficient quantities and proper types of material is utilized. Section 17.38.120 Trash Enclosures. Trash enclosures shall be con- structed pursuant to the City's standard design on file with the Department of Building and Safety. Said enclosures shall be provided based on a minimum ratio of one, three-cubic-yard-container enclosure for each: A. 5,000 square feet of total floor area for units up to 20,000 square feet. B. 10,000 square feet of total floor area for units larger than 20,000 square feet and up to 50,000 square feet. C. 15,000 square feet of total floor area for units larger than 50,000 square feet. . In determining the number of enclosures to be provided, all resultant numbers shall be rounded up to the next whole integer. Enclosures shall be placed in a location convenient to the unit(s) it is intended to serve and in no case shall an enclosure be located further than one-hundred (100) feet from the associated unit(s). A decorative trellis work shall be incorporated into the design of any enclosure located within 25 feet of a two-story building having win- dows overlooking the enclosure. Section 17.38.130 Mailboxes. When utilized, common-collection mail- boxes within an industrial or commercial complex shall be installed pursuant to the design standards on file with the Division of Build- ing and Safety. The location of all mailboxes shall be reviewed with the Planning Division prior to installation. Common-collection mail- boxes should be located in decorative housings which incorporate simi- lar materials, colors, and textures utilized on the building within the complex. The area for the mailbox should be of sufficient size to enable patrons to pick up or deposit mail without having to en- roach upon landscaping, walks, or parking. The housing for the mail- box should offer patrons protection from the elements. Section 17.38.140 Circulation Patterns. Circulation patterns within commercial and industrial districts shall be designed to minimize the number of curb cuts required. Curb cuts should be located as far as possible from intersections and whenever possible be aligned with others on the opposite side of the street. Section 17.38.150 Dust and Erosion Control. On all properties which are to be developed in phases but for which mass grading is proposed, measures shall be taken to provide for proper dust and erosion control. To ensure compliance with this Section, the Planning Commission, pur- suant to Design Review, may require the vacant areas to be landscaped (including irrigation), cash bonds to be posted to pay for water trucks, the soil to be treated with sealers, or any combination there- of. Section. 17.38.160 Aaricultural Land Use. In any commercial or indus- trial district, the use of the land for horticultural uses may be permitted until such time as the property is developed in accordance with the provisions of the district, subject to approval of a Use Permit pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 17.74. Section 17.38.170 Conversion of Structure. The conversion of resi- dential structures, service stations, and nonconforming structures in non-residential zones from one use to another shall require approval of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 17.74. In approving the Use Permit the Planning Commission shall impose conditions necessary to assure that the conversion will not impact adjoining properties or the reasonable use thereof, and to pro- vide for adequate parking and circulation and that the architectural design and materials will not detract from the character of the neigh- borhood. Such conversion shall also be required to provide for any public improvements that would normally be requried for new construc- tion.

Variance to Run with the Land Section 17.76.010 Purpose. The City realizes that under certain circumstances an applicant while attempting to comply with provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as strictly interpreted, may, because of cer- tain physical conditions related to the site, such as size, shape, dimensions, topography, or unique setting, experience practical dif- ficulties and/or unnecessary physical hardships which are inconsis- tent with the Ordinance's intended purpose. This Chapter, there- fore, is intended to provide a mechanism whereby the Planning Com- mission may grant relief from the applicable provisions of the Code. The ability to grant variances shall not, however, extend to use regulations or to public safety regulations because such authority is precluded by other local ordinances or State law. Also, in no case shall cost to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation be the primary reason for granting of a Variance. Section 17.76.020 Application. Application for a Variance shall be filed with the Planning Division on a form prescribed by the Director of Community Development and shall include, but not be limited to, the following data and maps: A. Name and address of the applicant. B. Statement that the applicant is the owner or the authorized agent of the owner of the property subject to the Variance request.

G. Statement from the applicant describing in his own words the following: 1. The special circumstances applicable only to the property to which the application pertains and which do not apply generally to the other properties in the neighborhood. 2. How, if the Variance is approved, it will not constitute .granting of a special privilege which will not be avail- able to other properties in the neighborhood. H. The Director may require additional information or plans, if necessary, to determine whether a Variance should be granted or denied. The Director may also authorize omission of any plans and drawings required by this action if he finds they are not necessary. Section 17.76.030 Fee. A Variance application shall be accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the City Council to cover the cost of handling the application as prescribed in this section.

Section 17.76.060 Findinas. The Commission shall make the following findings before granting a Variance: A. That adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to Section 17.76.050 have been incorporated into the approval of the Variance to insure development of the property in accord with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located; B. That there are special circumstances, pursuant to the purpose of this Chapter, applicable to the subject property which do apply generally to other properties in the neighborhood, and, therefore, granting of the Variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district in which the subject property is located. C. That in approving the Variance, any reductions authorized from the strict interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance represents the minimum deviation from the Code necessary to fulfill the purpose of this Chapter and enable reasonable development of the property. Section 17.76.070 Effective Date of the Variance. The decision of the Commission shall be final ten (l0) days from the date of the decision unless an appeal has been filed with the City Council pur- suant to the provisions of Chapter 17.80.

Section 17.76.110 Suspension and Revocation. A Variance, upon violation of any applicable provision of this ordinance, or, if granted subject to conditions, upon failure to comply with condi- tions, shall be suspended as follows: The Planning Commission shall notify, in writing, the holder of the Variance of its intention to hold a hearing to con- sider its revocation. Said notice shall be made a least ten (lo) days prior to the actual date of the hearing. At the hearing the Commission shall consider evidence from all interested parties and after deliberation if not satisfied that the regulation, general provision, or condition is being complied with, may revoke the Variance or take such action as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the regulations, general provision or condition. Within five (5) days following the date of a decision of the Commission revoking a Variance, the secretary shall transmit to the applicant and City Council written notice of the decision. The decision shall become final fifteen (15) days following the date on which the Vari- ance was revoked unless an appeal has been filed. Section 17.76.120 Rea lication.

Upon receipt of a complaint from a citizen, the Noise Control Office(r) or his agent, equipped with sound level measurement equipment satisfying the require- ments specified in Section 17.78.020, shall investi- gate the complaint. The investigation shall consist of a measurement and the gathering of data to ade- quately define the noise problem and shall include the following: 1. Non-acoustic data: a. Type of noise source. b. Location of noise source relative to complainant's property. c. Time period during which noise source is considered by complainant to be intrusive. d. Total duration of noise produced by noise source. e. Date and time of noise measurement survey. B. Noise Measurement Procedure: 1. Utilizing the "A" Weighting scale of the sound level meter and the "slow" meter response (use "fast" response for impulsive type. sounds), the noise level shall be measured at a position or positions at any point on the receiver's property. In general, the microphone shall be located four to five feet above the ground; ten feet or more from the nearest reflective surface where possible. However, in those cases where another elevation is deemed appropri- ate, the latter shall be utilized. If the noise complaint is related to interior noise levels, interior noise measurements shall be made within the affected residential unit. The measurements shall be made at a point at least four feet from the wall, ceiling, or floor nearest the noise source, with windows in the normal seasonal configuration. Cali- bration of the measurement equipment, utili- zing an acoustic calibration, shall be per- formed immediately prior to recording any noise data. Section 17.78.060 - External Noise Limits. A. Maximum Permissible Sound Levels by Receiving Land Use: 1. The noise standards for the various categories of land use identified by the Noise Control Office(r) as presented in Table 1 shall, unless otherwise specifically indicated, apply to all such property within a designated zone. 2. No person shall operate or cause to be operated, any source of sound at any location within the incorporated City or allow the crea- tion of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied or otherwise controlled by such person, which causes the noise level when measured on any other property, either incor- porated or unincorporated, to exceed: a. The noise specified period of hour; or b. The noise tive perm any hour; standard for that land use as in Table 1 for a cumulative more than thirty minutes in any standard plus 5 dB for a cumula- ~d of more than fifteen minutes in or c. The noise standard plus 10 dB for a cumula- tive period of more than five minutes in any hour; or d. The noise standard plus 15 dB for a cumula- tive period of more than one minute in any hour; or e. The noise standard plus 20 d8 or the maxi- mum measured ambient level, for any period of time. 3. If the measured ambient level differs from that permissible within any of the first four noise limit categories above, the allowable noise exposure standard shall be adjusted in 5 dB increments in each category as appropriate to encompass or reflect said ambient noise level. In the event the .ambient noise level exceeds the fifth noise limit category, the maximum allowable noise level under this category shall be increased to reflect the maximum ambient noise level 4. If the measurement location is on a boundary between two different zones, the noise level limit applicable to the lower noise zone plus 5 dB, shall apply. 5. If possible, the ambient noise shall be measure at the same location along the property line ut lized in Section 17.78.060.A.2, with the allege offending noise source inoperative. If, for ar., reason, the alleged offending noise source cannot be shut down,. the ambient noise must be estimated by performing a measurement in the same general area of the source but at a sufficient distance such that the noise from the source is at least 10 dB below the ambient in order that only the ambient level be measured. If the difference between the ambient and the noise source is 5 to 10 dB, then the level of the ambient itself can be reasonably determined by subtracting a one decibel correction to account for the contri- bution of the source. B. Correction for Character of Sound: In the event the alleged offensive noise, as judged by the Noise Control Officer, contains a steady, audible tone such as a whine, screech, or hum, or is a repeti- tive noise such as hammering or riveting, or contains music or speech conveying informational content, the standard limits set forth in Table 1 shall be reduced by 5 dB.

The noise standard as specified in Table 2 for a cumulative period of more than five minutes in any hour; or b. The noise standard plus 5 dB for a cumula- tive period of more than one minute in any hour; or c. The noise standard plus l0 dB or the maxi- mum measured ambient, for any period of time. 3. If the measured ambient level differs from that permissible within any of the noise limit categories above, the allowable noise exposure standard shall be adjusted in 5 dB increments in each category as appropriate to reflect said ambient noise level. B. Correction for Character of Sound: In the event the alleged offensive noise, as judged by the Noise Control Officer, contains a steady, audible tone such as a whine, screech, or hum, or is a repetitive noise such as hammering or riveting, or contains music or speech conveying informational content, the standard limits set forth in Table 2 shall be reduced by 5 dB.

In determining whether to grant or deny the application, the NCO shall balance the hardship on the applicant, the community, and other persons of not granting the variance against the adverse impact on the health, safety, and welfare of persons affected, the adverse impact on pro- perty affected, and any other adverse impacts of grant- ing the variance. Applicants for variances and persons contesting variances may be required to submit such information as the NCO may reasonably require. In grant- ing or denying an application, the NCO shall keep on public file a copy of the decision and the reasons for denying or granting the variance. D. Variances shall be granted by notice to the applicant containing all necessary conditions, including a time limit on the permitted activity. The variance shall not become effective until all conditions are agreed to by the applicant. Noncompliance with any condition of the variance shall terminate the variance and sub- ject the person holding it to those provisions of this ordinance for which the variance was granted. E. A variance will not exceed 365 days from the date on which it was granted. Application for extension of time limits specified in variances oz for modification of other substantial conditions shall be treated like applications for initial variances under subsection (B).

A "Design Review" application shall be accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the City Council to cover the cost of handling the application as prescribed in this section. Section 17.82.050 Hearina. With the exception of a "Minor Design Review" as provided herein, the Planning Commission shall hold at least one hearing on each application, for a "Design Review". The hearing shall be set and notice given as prescribed in Chapter 17.92. At this hearing, the Commission shall review the application and drawings submitted and may receive comments from the public concerning the proposed development and the manner in which it will effect the subject property and surrounding properties. Section 17.82.060 Scobe of Desian Review. In order to achieve the purpose of this Chapter the following design concepts shall be paramount in the consideration of any design review approval: A. The scale and spatial relationship of all structures should be appropriate to the site and to surrounding developments. Structures should be located on their lots so as to create interest and varying vistas as a person moves along the street. B. The design concept should complement the quality of existing development and create a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship between the proposed and existing projects. Garish colors at substantial deviance to the rest of the neighborhood would not be appropriate. C. Exterior materials should evidence a concern for quality and originality. The use of a particular material should, as a rule, exemplify the special characteristics of the product or be demonstrative of its unique application. Tilt-up panels employing formed design or with exposed aggregate is perfer- able to smooth-surface or painted panels. Similarly, metal as an enhancement material is acceptable while plain metal buildings are not. Paint, in general, should be considered an enhancement tool but should not be considered a replacement for the use of textured surfaces. D. Visible electrical, mechanical and special processing equipment such as vent stacks as well as similar features should be avoided; however, if essential should be screened and said screening should be an integral aspect of the project design. E. The design of accessory structures, fences, and walls should be harmonious with the design of the principal structures and should employ compatible building materials. F. Project should demonstrate a respect for a neighboring pro- perty's privacy, quiet, function, or views, and elements of the design including, but not limited to, openings, docks, and equipment placement should not be located in such a way as to create a nuisance for an adjoining property. G. The project should be designed in such a way that its circulation patterns and parking areas are efficient and do not impact traffic on adjoining right-of-ways. Adequate on-site parking should be provided and intrinsic maneuvering such as for trucks and for drive-through facilities should be contained entirely on-site. H. Landscaping should be evenly divided over the site and be visual- ly attractive regardless of the season. In addition to its aesthetic attributes, landscaping should be available to screen parking and storage areas and to shade parking lots. I. The project should demonstrate concern for solar orientation and other forms of energy conservation. Deep eaves, overhangs, canopies, and other features that provide shelter and shade should be apparent in the design. J. The project should be harmonious with the topography of the site in order to minimize the requirement for grading and the associ- ated disruption of the City's scenic amenities. K. The size and scale of signs should be harmonious with the overall design concept of the project and materials and colors should reflect those used for the principal structures. Signs should enhance, not dominate or distract from the appearance of the project. Section 17.82.070 Action of the Plannina Commission. The Commission may recommend "Design Review" approval as the project was submitted or may recommend changes in .the design or the application may be denied. A "Design Review" approval may be recommended subject to such conditions as the Commission may prescribe.- Conditions may re- late to, but are not limited to, site design, including relationship to surrounding uses, functions of buildings or portions of site, set- back, coverage, amount of open space, infrastructure improvements; shape, height, and bulk of structures; distances between buildings; architectural design of structure including exterior materials, colors, and textures; location of ancillary equipment; locations of points of ingress and egress; location, amount, and design of parking areas; location and efficiency of truck maneuvering and loading areas; land- scaping, including location and general nature; signs including loca- tion, size, design, and height; lighting; walls and fences, including location, height, and materials; project grading; and project phasing.
