ZCA 91-03 - BUILDING HEIGHTS REVISIONS
At the September 17, 1-991 City Council meeting, the ah referenced zone code amendment was considered. The item continued so that staff could re-evaluate two specific issu These were: 1) commercial zone height regulations and 2) inf
areas with 15,000 square foot lots and the ability to construct
35 ft/3 stories. Staff's evaluation and recommendations for tk issues are described below.
Commercial Zone Heiqhts
At the September 17th public hearing, the architect represent the Carltas Company submitted recommendations regarding the he:
for certain cammercial/af f ice uses. Staff has reviewed tl recommendations and has reached the following conclusions:
Only the c-2 and p-C (Master Plans) zones should have ability for a 55 foot regional structure subject to proposed regional findings. These regic
uses/structures would be approved by the City Coui through a site development plan subject to the propc
regional findings. Non-regional commercial uses in
C-2 and P-C zones could exceed 35 feet up to 45 fee' the City Council through a site development plan sub' to the proposed findings.
The C-T and Q zones should not have the ability to a a 55 foot regional structure. However, they shoulc
allowed to exceed 35 feet to a maximum of 45 feet by City Council through a site development plan subjec the proposed findings.
The c-l zone should not have the ability to allow foot regional structure or a structure in excess o feet given the intent of neighborhood scale commer uses within this zone. The c-l zone will allow a he of up to 35 felet and 3 levels.

Infill Areas
Concern was expressed by the City Council at the public hear that the building height revisions for the R-1 zones would allok ft./3 story residences on infill lots. Staff reviewed f
alternatives to address the issue of compatibility within inf
areas with 15,000 square feet lots and the ability to construct ft/3 story residences. These alternatives included addressing issue by: 1) specific zone regulation; 2) a height overlay zone; a design review process; or 4) requiring increased setbacks. St
recommend that in addition to the original proposal that the
lot has a minimum size of 15,000 square feet to build a 35 f story residence that the lot also be zoned R-1-15 or greater (I as R-1-20 or R-1-40).
Staff has revised the proposed ordinance to reflect this additic recommendation. Staff does not believe that this recommendat would require going back to the Planning Commission for revj The other three alternatives that staff evaluated would reqL additional public review and Planning Commission input. Althc there are a couple of places in the infill areas of the City wt have R-1-15 zoning, (a map will be available at the contir
Council hearing on this matter), staff believes that this recommendation adequately addresses the concerns associated P this issue.
Summary
All of the recommendations described above required staff to I
a number of changes to proposed Ordinance No. NS-173 containec
the previous Agenda Bill. For this reason, staff has preparc new, revised version of the ordinance which is attached to 1
memorandum. Also, during the continuance, staff prepared a mal
summarizing the proposed height changes for all the zones invo: in ZCA 91-03 which is also attached to this memorandum.

D[SCLSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
1. The proposed Zone Code Amendment wlll not result in unstable emh con&tiom increase tht-cxposurc of people or properry to geologc hazards because no act1
developmurt is proposed. Ody regulations regardmg future development are bei
proposed. All future development Will need to comply with all Ciry Stand=
inciuding the issuance of gradhg permits to prevenr unstable earrh conditions or
creation of geologc srandards due to development and grading.
2. The proposed Zone Code Amendment will not appreciably change the ropograph! any sire or alter physical features of any site. As shown wth Exiubit "x-, the r
building height definition will require rhat building height be measured from the ~p
restrictive of finished or existing grade so that building height d conform to
natural topography of a given site; but ths Zone Code Amendment itself wdl
physically alter any sites until development is proposed. No specfic developmer
proposed with this action.
The erosion of soils on or off a given site will not be affected by this Zone C
Amendment since all future development Will meet applicable City standards an(
conditions associated with the issuance of grading permits.
This Zone Code Amendment will not result in any changes in the deposition pati
of beach sands or the alignment of river or streambeds or the bottoms of any lag1
or inlets. The Zone Code Amendment is only modlfYmp: or adding restrictior
hture development with regards to building height and mass.
There will be no impact on air quality from this Budding Height Program.
reduced residential building height and the potentially increased commerci'
industrial height, as well as the result of implementing floor area ratios wil
impact air quality or air movement, odor, moisture or temperature.
The proposed regulations and modifications to existing building height regula
d not impact the flow of any watercomes nor will it affect the quality or qu2
of surface water, groundwater or public water supply. All future developmen
go through the standard project review process to ensue that water resources a
adversely impacted.

This proposed zone code amendment would be citywide. There is no specific
sire involved/actual development proposed.
The need for these types of controls on residential development and also rhc
allowance for commercial and industrial height increases are needed at tlu
time. Waiting to adopt and/or implement these recommendations would no
be consistent with the direction of the City and desires of the City Council.
The scope of the recommendations within this Zone Code Amendment are me;
