Notes:
1 A calculation that results in a fraction of 0.50 and above shall be counted as a whole unit.
2 May be reduced by the Planning Commission based upon individual site topography and building design layout of the parcel, property or project and the standards as defined in Chapter 11-04.5 SJBMC.
3 May be reduced to four thousand five hundred (4,500) sq. ft. with 0.45 FAR in a planned unit development.
4 May be reduced to four thousand (4,000) sq. ft. with a planned unit development permit.
5 Twenty-five feet (25') for detached garage. Front yard setback may be reduced to fifteen feet (15') to meet design guidelines when approved by the Planning Commission for large developments of more than twenty (20) homes.
6 Ten feet (10') for side facing street at a corner lot parcel.
7 Five feet (5') for detached garages and carports not exceeding fifteen feet (15') in height.
8 Setbacks in the C district shall be consistent but not absolute with the bordering residential district. Deviations to setbacks may be allowed by the Planning Commission on an individual basis.
9 For structure within the downtown historic district, the floor area ratio may be 1.5. All other areas designated MU, the floor area ratio shall be 0.75. FAR may be increased or decreased upon approval of a use or conditional use permit based upon individual projects to preserve the character of the area and/or as an incentive to encourage mixed use development projects.
10 Ten percent (10%) of the depth of the lot or ten feet (10'), whichever is less. Planning Commission may allow deviations of the setbacks based upon individual project site plan and building layout.
11 The minimum front, side, and rear yards in the PF district shall be equal to the front, side and rear yards required in the most restrictive abutting district; provided, that no yard adjoining a street shall be less than twenty feet (20') and that no interior yard shall be less than ten feet (10').
12 Forty feet (40') if used in connection with or for the housing of livestock.
13 The Planning Commission may grant a designation of R-1-6 and R-1-5 on any lot within the R-1 single-family zoning district that meet criteria of Section 11-04-010 on a case per case basis taking into consideration topography, surrounding neighborhood, design diversity, economic conditions and housing needs.
14 Special standards and conditions apply to one (1) affordable housing site (APN 002-350-002) in this zoning district through the year 2024 only, as follows:
• The allowable density for the designated affordable housing site is a minimum of twenty (20) units per acre and a maximum of twenty-four (24) units per acre;
• Twenty percent (20%) of the residential development on the affordable housing site must be owner-occupied and/or rental multifamily uses that are affordable to lower-income households;
• All development on this affordable housing site must be permitted by right (i.e., no conditional use permit, planned development permit, or other discretionary review or approval); and
• Any development that takes place on APN 002-350-002 would accommodate necessary historic preservation efforts on or off site that would be in compliance with the City of San Juan Bautista historic resource preservation ordinance (Chapter 11-06 SJBMC) and the Secretary of the Interior Standards.
Except for those usual standards in conflict with the special standards and conditions above, all usual development standards for this zoning district (as shown in the table) also apply to the affordable housing site.
15 Additional special standards and conditions apply to one (1) affordable housing site (APN 002-350-002) in this zoning district, as follows:
• The owner of the site has the right to develop this mixed-use site as one hundred percent (100%) multifamily housing without a conditional use permit or other discretionary action;
• If the owner of the site chooses to develop the site as mixed use (commercial and residential, combined), then at least fifty percent (50%) of floor area must be developed as a minimum of sixteen (16) multifamily dwellings; and
• Any development that takes place on APN 002-350-002 would accommodate necessary historic preservation efforts on or off site that would be in compliance with the City of San Juan Bautista historic resource preservation ordinance (Chapter 11-06 SJBMC) and the Secretary of the Interior Standards.
