SECTION 138:   GENERAL DESIGN STANDARDS FOR STATION COMMUNITY PLANNING AREAS

(Added by Ord. No. 4455/8-96.)

I.  SCOPE

 

This Section establishes general design standards for development in Station Community Planning Areas. These clear and objective standards shall apply to uses permitted in all districts within a Station Community Planning Area unless superseded by community-specific design standards as set forth in Sections 139 through 142. The general design standards contained in this Section and the community-specific design standards are in addition to and supplement the standards in Section 133, Development Review/Approval of Plans. In the event of conflict, the design standards in Sections 138 through 142 shall control.

 

II.   PURPOSE

 

The general design standards in Section 138 and the community-specific design standards in Sections 139 through 142 are intended to promote good quality design in site development and new building construction within Station Community Planning Areas. Good design results in buildings and dwellings visually compatible with one another and adjacent neighborhoods, contributing to a district which is attractive, stimulating, active and safe. These qualities contribute to the creation of an environment which facilitates easy pedestrian movement and establishment of a rich mixture of uses. A diversity of architectural styles is encouraged except in campus developments and major institutions where unified architectural and urban design is important to the identity of the campus or functioning of the activities therein. In areas protected by a historic or cultural resource Conservation District or overlay zone in which case architectural consistency with the design standards of the Conservation District or overlay zone shall be required. (Amended by Ord. No 4545/4-97.)

III.   PROCESS

 

The requirements of Sections 138 through 142 shall apply as follows:

A. Except as noted, all new development and expansions of existing uses shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable design standards during Development Review.  However, construction of an individual single family detached dwelling, or dwelling units outside the boundaries of a Conservation District is exempt from the Development Review process and shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable design standards during the permitting process.  Notwithstanding the exception, if a subdivision or the construction of an individual single family detached dwelling, duplex, or ancillary dwelling unit affects or impacts an inventoried significant natural resources, or if such subdivision or construction is within the boundaries of a Conservation District, the subdivision or individual dwelling shall be subject to the Development Review process and shall be checked for compliance with the applicable design standards at that time. (Amended by Ord. No. 5893/12-08.)

B. When an individual single family attached or detached dwelling, duplex, ancillary dwelling unit, subdivision, or other development project is subject to community-specific or Conservation District design standards, the City shall require the builder or property owner to certify, as part of the Development Review and Building Permit process, that the community and Conservation District design standards have been met and will be followed in the design and construction of the dwelling or project. In the event subsequent inspection finds the community-specific and Conservation District design standards have not been met in material and substantial part, the City may require changes to the structure in order to bring it into compliance.
