SUBJECT: ~~~
AMENDMENT TO PUD REQUIREMENT, CITY INITIATED
CASE NO.: ZCA-84
STATEMENT OF THE MATTER
This amendment to the PUD regulations has been fully staffed and heard by the
Planning Commission. (See attached letter to City Council for discussion of
the amendment and Planning Commission action. However, upon reflection of recently
stated views by sorte members of the City Council that proper PUD design must be
demonstratively unique, staff now believes -that a modification of this amendment-
Exhibit "A" dated April 21, 1977—should be considered.
" The amendment of the storage space regulations was drafted not to require storage
space of the lot areas in 7500 square feet or more. This nunber was chosen because
7500 is the minimum for a normal subdivision, and it was assumed that the storage _
space is provided on the site on this size of lot. However, because the City Council
established a policy to require uniqueness in PUD developments, staff believes that
to insure that policy is maintained such exclusion from the requirement should be
permitted only if it can be demonstrated that storage space can be provided on the
lot.
Therefore, staff recommends consideration of the following addition to the last
sentence of the first paragraph of Number (6), see line 13:
"and the PUD plan indicates how each of these lots will:
; adequately provide on site storage space exclusive of
front and side yard areas."
This will give the developer the opportunity to avoid constructing storage areas,
but yet retains the uniqueness of PUD's by guaranteeing storage areas on the lot.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 24, 1977
TO: Paul Bussey, City Manager
FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Amendment To PUD Requirement, City Initiated
Case No. ZCA-84
This amendment is to clarify the intent of the storage space and
open space requirements of the PUD regulations especially as they
relate to PUD's in Master Planned areas in a P-C Zone. Discussion
of each amendment is as follows:
Storage Space; Presently, storage space is required for all units
in a PUD. Some PUD's, however, contain lots with areas of 7500
square feet or greater. Storage space is not required in regular
subdivisions of 7500 square foot lots or greater because it is assumed
that storage is provided on-site. The Planning Commission and staff
felt that the large lot PUD should also not have to provide this
storage. This amendment is contained starting on line 12% of Exhibit
"A." The staff has discussed how to properly insure storage areas be
provided for those lots 7500 sq. ft. and over by suggesting that an
amendment to require adequate storage on those lots.
Present requirements also provide that storage areas may be off-
site of the PUD. However, there may be a problem of insuring
compliance if the off-site storage area is also open to the public
or other PUD's. Therefore, the amendment starting on line 19 of
Exhibit "A" has been added to insure that the required storage
area be specifically designated for the exclusive use to members
of the particular PUD. The amendment also clarifies that the
storage area may be used for more than one PUD, provided sufficient
space is available for all sharing PUD's.
The Planning Commission agreed with this, but also desired a provision
that would permit storage space to be comprehensively planned for in
a Master Plan. This space would then be used for all residents of
the Master Planned area, including regular developments as well as
PUD's. This paragraph was added by the Planning Commission
as contained in the Planning Commission Resolution No. 1368.
Open Space; The P-C Zone requires 15% of the area be in open space.
Many of the Master Plans in the P-C Zone exceed this requirement.
However, the present PUD regulations do not provide for credit of
this open space for PUD open space requirements . The amendment
starting on line 25 of Exhibit "A" gives such credit providing the
credited open space is part of the excess master planned open space
(that portion over the 15% requirement) .

MEMORANDUM - APRIL 27, 1977 (Corrected May 31, 1977)
TO: _ PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RE: ZCA-84, AMENDMENT TO PUD ORDINANCE
Bob Ladwig of Rick Engineering submitted a list of suggested amend-
ments to the PUD Ordinance to benefit PUD developments in the P-C
Zone. Basically the amendments are to provide Open Space credit to
a PUD for the open space and Public Parks that are provided for in
a Master Plan of the P-C Zone.
Planning staff has reviewed these suggestions and generally found
them acceptable. However, any provision for credit must be in
agreement with the intent of the open space requirements of the
P-C Zone and the Public Park Policy.
The intent of the Open-Space in the P-C Zone, is to give an overall
plan for parks, natural areas,"open space, private recreation, etc,
for a master planned area as a whole; this includes single family
residential as well as PUD. The open space in the PUD is to give
additional open space above the minimum requirements in lieu of
the ..relaxation of normal development requirements in the R-Zones,
i.e., private yards, setbacks, public improvements, etc. Therefore,
open space of a P-C Zone Master Plan should be distinct from open
space in a PUD.
However, there may be circumstances where a Master Plan sets aside
open space in areas adjacent or near PUD, or a PUD could be proposed
in an area that is adjacent to open space areas which has more than
the normal amount of open space.committed to recreation. In these
cases staff believes there should be a mechanism to permit existing
or planned recreation areas to count in meeting the open space
requirement of a PUD.
In addition, it is conceivable a PUD could be proposed in any zone,
in an area of abandant recreation, i.e., near public parks, beach,
private recreation. Therefore, staff suggest credit should be
given if there is appropriate usable open space nearby.
These changes are contained in Exhibit A, dated April 27, 1977,
attached. Section 1, of Exhibit "A" are staff's suggested changes
to storage space requirements. These changes are designated to:
1) To exclude those large lot PUD's; that for all practical pur-
poses are normal single family developments, at least in land
use area per lot.
2) Insure that storage areas are exclusively available to the in-
habitants of the PUD/
3) That storage space cannot be credited to more than one PUD.
Section 2, of Exhibit "A" contains staff's suggested adding para-
graph E 'to Subsection: 21.45.12.0 (9).
Proposed (E) will permit the City Council to approve PUD Open-Space
in a P-C Master Plan, provided that the area so designated is in
addition to the minimum 15% open space required, and in addition to
the Public Parks requirements.

i
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: . ZCA-84 AMENDMENT TO PUD REQUIREMENTS.
This item was heard by the Planning Commission on April 27, 1977.
Staff recommended approval of ZCA-84 as Exhibit "A", April 21, 1977,
which modifies requirements for storage space and open space. The
Planning Commission agreed with the changes to open space, but re-
quested staff to review storage space as it pertains to development
in the P-C Zone.
Mr. Morey explained that La Costa does not permit storage of R-V on
streets or yards on any lot , and they are planning to provide R-V
storage areas in strategically located areas in La Costa. He there-
fore felt that requiring separate R-V storage for PUD's in La
Costa was unnecessary _and would work against their efforts to build-
ing centralized and secure storage yards.
As per your direction, staff has prepared wording that will permit
this flexibility in siting of R-V storage. This is based on the
amendment of the open space section. It is as follows:
"If the City Council so determines any part or all of the
storage space requirements for a PUD located in the
Planned Community Zone with an approved Master Plan, it
may in accordance with the provisions of this section, be
satisfied by storage space provided in the Master Plan.
Any such storage space must be located within the Master
Plan boundaries. In order to approve the use of Master
Planned storage space as satisfactory to the PUD require-
ments, the City Council must find that:
_• The Master'Plan provides for sufficient storage space
to serve all units of the Master Planned area, on a
ratio of 40 square feet of storage space for each dwell-
ing unit.
The location of the storage space reasonably relates to
the PUD and is readily available."
Recommendation:
If the Planning Commission agrees with this addition, it is rec-
ommended that it be added, Section 1 of Exhibit "A", dated April
21, 1977.

A request to consider changes to- the PUD Ordinance
es follows: 1) Provide wording that will
specifically state that storage areas may serve
- more than one PUD, and,2) provide for open space
during the master planning stages of the develop-
ment of- a Planned Community (P-C Zone).
Bud Plender said this request was originally irade by
Bob Ladwig of Rick Engineering on behalf of la Costa
because of some difficulties they were having coordin-
ating PUD's with the P-C Zone. Staff reviewed these
requests and sugoested that a couple be listed in the
Ordinance, as to storage space requirements and open
space requirements. He stated that the City Council
has found t-rat charging a fee for R-V storage was
permissible.
lYcd Morey, La Costa Land Ccrrnany, Carlsbad, stated
it was never originally intended to use a planned
unit development in a P-C zone. Tne thAry of the P-C
zone was to create a .Master Plan for parks, school :
sites, open space, etc. La Costa uses CC&R's to
prevent indiscriminate R-V parkinc He stated that
they take exception to using the 7500 sq. ft. lot as
the dividing line regarding storage conditions for
R-V's, boats, motor homes, etc. He feels that the
best irethod would be to consider the entire comunity,
and not restrict to lots under 7500 sq.' ft'. It is the
philosophy of La Costa Land Conpany that people who
^ use R-V storage should pay for it. He feels the
' overall problem should be reviewed, not just regardingPUD'S.

is if the lots are less than 7,500 sq. ft. In La Costa,
