area as a whole.
(b) Provide reasonable assurance to the developer that
planned unit development plans prepared in accordance with
an approved general development plan and the terms and
conditions of the Ordinance establishing the P-C zone
will be acceptable to the City.
(c) Provide for a zoning and general plan for develop-
ment of large tracts of land, which will serve as a guide
for preparation and filing of planned unit plans required
by this Ordinance.
4.22. General Procedure.
(a) Application. An application for P-C zoning consist-
ing of a verified petition, a general development plan and
general development schedule in form and content as herein-

4.23. General Conditions andReKulations. The regulations set
forth in this section shall apply in all P-C districts and shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Ordinance, ex-
cept that where a conflict in regulations occurs, the regulation
specified in this section shall apply.
(a) Establishment of P-C Districts. Residential P-C
Dist~icts may be established on parcels of land which con-
tain sixty or more acres and which are suitable to permit
the development of a complete neighborhood or community or
a major section thereof having a range of dwelling types to-
gether with necessary local shopping facilities and off-
street parking, parks, playgrounds, schools and other com-
munity facilities; and other uses consistent with the adopted
general plan of the city. Commercial-Industrial P-C
Districts may be established on parcels of land which con-
tain sixty or more acres of land and which are suitable to
the development of a complete Commercial-Industrial Com-
munity of major section thereof having a range of uses con-
sistent with the adopted general plan of the city.
(b) Area Characteristics. The area included within a P-C
District shall be:
1. Bounded by major thoroughfares or other physical
features or by political boundaries or a combination thereof,
3.
or
2. Comprise a unit which because of size, shape and
physical characteristics requires development in accord-
ance with a comprehensive plan.
3. Shall be free from features forming barriers to
community or neighborhood cohesiveness.
(c) Acreage Requirements. A P-C District shall include
sixty or more acres of contiguous land.
(d) Ownership and Control. At the time of application the
tract or parcel of land involved must be either in one
ownership or the subject of an application filed jointly by
the owners of all the property included (the holder of a
written option to purchase land and a redeveloper under con-
tract with the redevelopment agency to acquire land by pur-
chase or lease shall for purposes of such application be
deemed to be an owner of such land) or be the subject of
an application filed by any governmental agency including
the redevelopment agency of the city. Subsequent to the

ment plan, the conditions and requirements attached thereto,
the terms of the Ordinance establishing the P-C zone, and
shall be subject to the procedures and requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance of the city.
(e) Effect of Establishing a P-C District. A Planned
Community classification establishes the general nature,
design and character of development permitted in the
District, and provides for development of the district
only through planned units as set forth in the Zoning
Ordinance, which units more particularly establish the
nature, design and character of the development.
(f) Uses Permitted, General. When in conformity with
the adopted General Plan of the city, subject to author-

P-C District, the following uses are permitted upon ob-

2. Commercial planned unit development
3. Crop and tree farming, truck gardening, flori-
culture and grazing pending the development of the lands
for the purposes set forth in the general development plan.

materials from the site in conjunction with the execution
of an approved general development plan. Said Use Permit
shall contain provisions substantially in accord with the
City's Grading Ordinance·
(g) Schedule of Basic Population Density and BuildinK
CoveraRe ReRulations. The following table sets forth
the basic population density, and building coverage regul-
ations for P-C Districts located within neighborhoods of
the density categories recommended by the General Plan:
Neighborhood Mmximum Building
Density Category Population Coverage
Density Limit
Low Density 20 35%
Medium Density 25 35%
High Density 30 40%
The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council
may authorize higher densities than those set forth above
when it is demonstrated that,in the specific case, with the
added development proposed in the P-C District, the popul-
ation density in the entire developed proportion of the
neighborhood unit in which the P-C District is located will
not exceed the gross density recommended for the neighbor-
hood unit by the General Plan.
(h) Required Distances Between Buildings in DwellinK Groups.
Except as hereinafter provided~ distances between opposing
walls of buildings in dwelling groups shall be not less than
those set forth below:
Neighborhood Walls with Walls with Other Walls Walls
Density ~iving Room Bedroom With Without
Category Windows Windows Windows Windows
Low 40 24 10 6
Medium 36 18 10 6
High 36 18 10 6
Where opposing walls differ in regard to type of window openings,
the largest required distance shall govern, except where the wall
opposite is without windows~ the distance may be reduced to the
average of the distances required for the types of wall conditions
involved.
The required distances between buildings as set forth above
shall be increased one foot (1') for each four feet (4') the
building exceed thirty feet (30') in height. Where buildings are
