A. Purpose and Intent. The provisions codified in this chapter provide for certain temporary and
intermittent uses. It establishes standards and procedures to assure that such uses are
compatible with their surroundings and the intent of these regulations.
In approving a temporary or intermittent use, the Director may establish requirements related to,
but not limited to, days and hours of operation, parking, temporary structures, and site planning,
in addition to performance standards specified below. The Director shall determine the extent to
which any permanent on -site parking and other facilities may satisfy the requirements for the
proposed use. A temporary use approval is not intended to allow a land use that is not allowed in
the primary zoning district, other than in the specific cases listed in Section C.
The Director may refer any proposed temporary or intermittent use to an administrative hearing
or to the Planning Commission for action.
17.08.072 Mixed Use Projects
B. Mix of uses. A mixed use project requires a combination of residential units with any other
use, or combination of uses allowed in the applicable zoning district by Section 17.22.010;
provided that where a mixed use project is proposed with a use required by Section
17.22.010 to have Use Permit approval in the applicable zoning district, the entire mixed use
project shall be subject to that permit requirement.
C. Maximum density. The residential component of a mixed use project shall comply with the
maximum density requirements of the applicable zoning district; except that the base density of
the residential component of a mixed use project in the C -S or M zoning districts shall not
exceed 24 density units per net acre, plus density bonuses where applicable.
A - 1
EXHIBIT A
17.08.090 Home Occupations
B. Permit Required.
The conduct of a home occupation requires the approval of a home occupation permit by
the Director, who may establish additional conditions to further the intent of this section. A
permit is required when a person does business in his /her home, uses his /her home
address as a business address on business licenses and tax certificates, or uses his /her
phone as a business phone. Home occupations may be conducted from dwellings
located in residential zones or from dwellings located in commercial zones where
dwellings are an allowed or conditionally allowed use. Home occupation permits are not
required for employees telecommuting.
A public notice shall be posted at the site of each proposed home occupation. If anyone
informs the Community Development Department of a question or objection concerning
the proposed home occupation that cannot be satisfactorily resolved within five days of
the posting, the Director shall schedule a hearing for the application as provided for
administrative use permits. If no questions or objections are received by the Community
Development Department within five days after posting, the Director may issue the permit
upon submission of all required information and without further notice or public hearing.
C. General Requirements.

13. Clients or customers shall not visit the home occupation between the hours of 7:00 p.m.
and 7:00 a.m.
14. If the home occupation is to be conducted from rental property, the property owner's
authorization for the proposed use shall be obtained.
15. No delivery or commercial pick -up shall be by vehicles larger than a typical delivery van
(Fed Ex, UPS, etc.). Direct customer pick -up is prohibited.
D. Prohibited Uses. The following uses by their operation or nature may interfere with residential
welfare and diminish the convenience intended for commercial zones, and therefore shall not
be permitted as home occupations; However, off -site work is permitted:
1. Automotive repair (body or mechanical), or detailing, upholstery or painting of
automobiles, when performed on the same site as the home occupation,
2. Personal services, such as beauticians and estheticians (See Zoning Regulations

not exceed a base density of 24 dwelling units per acre, plus density bonus, where applicable.
Chapter 17.14: Nonconforming Structures
17.14.010 Intent.
A structure which lawfully existed on the effective date of applicable sections of the ordinance
codified in this division, but which does not comply with one or more of the property development
standards for the zone in which it is located, is a "nonconforming structure." This chapter is
intended to provide for the correction or removal of such structures as soon as practical, but not
unduly encumber maintenance and continued use of otherwise sound structures. (Ord. 941 -1 (part),
1982: prior code 9202.4(A))
17.14.020 Regulations.
A. A non - conforming structure that is damaged to an extent of one -half or more of its
replacement cost immediately prior to such damage may be restored only if made to conform.
However, residences in some zones may be allowed to be restored at the original density
and size, even if the density and size do not conform to current regulations (see Section
17.16.010E). (Ord. 1346 (1999 Series))
B. Changes to structural elements, interior partitions or other nonstructural improvements and
repairs may be made to a nonconforming. However, demolition (see Section 17.100 for
definition of demolition) and reconstruction shall be permitted only if the structure is made to
conform.
C. Replacement costs shall be determined by the Chief Building Official, whose decision may be
appealed to the Council.
D. Exceptions to this chapter may be granted by the Director for historic structures designated as
such in any list or plan element adopted by the City, or for buildings that are over 50 years old
where the existing building and any proposed additions or modifications are compatible with
the surrounding neighborhood.
E. Exceptions to this chapter may be granted to allow additions to nonconforming structures
occupied by conforming uses, subject to a finding of consistency with the intent of this
chapter.
1. Conforming additions to residential structures may be approved by the Director without
public hearing.
2. Upon approval of a use permit the Director may allow other yards to be reduced to zero in
some instances for minor additions to existing legal non - conforming structures (see
Section 17.16.020.E2.d). (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part))
3. The value of additions allowed pursuant to subdivisions 1 and 2 of this subsection shall be
excluded from calculation of replacement cost of the nonconforming structure. (Ord. 1006
-1 (part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982: prior code - 9202.4(B)).
Chapter 17.16.010 Density.
A. Determination of Allowed Development.
EXHIBIT A
2. The following procedure shall be used to determine the maximum development allowed
on a given lot or land area:
a. Determine the Average Cross -slope of the Site. "Average cross - slope" is the ratio,
expressed as a percentage of the difference in elevation to the horizontal distance
between two points on the perimeter of the area for which slope is being determined.
The line along which the slope is measured shall run essentially perpendicular to the
contours.
i. Where a site does not slope uniformly, average cross -slope is to be determined
by proportional weighting of the cross - slopes of uniformly sloping sub - areas, as
determined by the Community Development Director.
ii. Cross -slope determinations shall be based on the existing topography of the net
site area after subtracting the area for any future on -site grading necessary to
accommodate proposed right -of -way improvements and other on -site
improvements.
iii. Cross -slope shall be calculated only for the net area as defined in Sub - section
A2b below.
iv. When the calculation of cross slope results in a fractional number, it shall be
rounded to the next highest whole number if the fraction is one -half or more;
otherwise it shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number.
v. No slope -rated density reduction is required in the C /OS, C -R, C -C or PF zones.
vi. The maximum development allowed for each average cross -slope category is as
follows:
Table 1: Maximum Residential Density For Cross -Slope Categories

By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may grant exceptions to the reduction of
density with slope where the parcel in question is essentially enclosed on all sides by
development at least as dense and within the same cross -slope category as the proposed
development. The exception shall not authorize density greater than that allowed for the category
of less than 15% slope for the appropriate- zone. (See also Section 17.12.020D, Nonconforming
Lots - Regulations.)
b. Determine the Net Area of the Site. "Net area" is all the area within the property lines
of the development site, excluding the following:
1. Street right -of -way dedicated and proposed to be dedicated to the City;
2. Area between the tops of banks of creeks shown on the Open Space Element
"Creeks Map ";
3. Habitat occupied by species listed as "endangered" or "threatened" by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service or the California Department of Fish and Game, or as
"plants of highest priority" by the California Native Plant Society;
4. Area within the drip line of "heritage trees" designated by the City.
A - 5
EXHIBIT A
c. Multiply the resulting area (in whole and fractional acres) by the maximum density
allowed (in density units per acre) according to Table 1 of this section. (Ord. 1365
(2000 Series)(part))
d. The resulting number (in density units, carried out to the nearest one - hundredth unit)
will be the maximum residential development potential. Any combination of dwelling
types and numbers may be developed, so long as their combined density unit values
do not exceed the maximum potential. (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part))
E. Exceptions for Dwellings Rebuilt After Involuntarily Destroyed. Residences in R -1, R -2, R -3,
R -4, 0, C -N, C -C, C -R, C -T, C -D, and C /OS zones, which have been involuntarily damaged
or destroyed by fire, other catastrophic event, or the public enemy by more than 50% of their
pre- damaged value, may be rebuilt at the same density and up to the same size, under the
following circumstances:
Chapter 17.16.020 Yards.
D. What may Occupy Yards.
7. Unenclosed. Tandem Parking Spaces. For single dwellings required parking may be
approved by the Director to be in tandem where safe and compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. Parking in the street yard is prohibited.
17.16.050 Fences, walls and hedges.
A. Fences, walls or hedges may be placed within required yards, provided:
1. The maximum height in any street yard shall be as shown in Figure 9;
2. The maximum height in any other yard shall be six feet;
3. Arbors, trellises and other lightweight ornamental landscape elements are allowed within
a required yard, subject to the same height limits that apply to fences and hedges;
B. Fences or walls may be placed outside required yards, provided:
1. The maximum height is eight feet.
2. Where the wall is connected to and a part of the house, it may be any height allowed in
the underlying zone.
C. Fence height is measured from the ground level along the lower side of the wall directly at the
wall or fence.
D. Where fences or walls are located on retaining walls, the height of the retaining wall shall be
considered as part of the overall height of the fence or wall. Walls or fences within required yards
must have a minimum spacing of five feet to be considered separate structures for purposes of
measuring overall height;
E. The Director may grant exceptions to these standards subject to a finding that no public purpose
would be served by strict compliance with these standards.
F. A public notice shall be posted at the site of each proposed fence height exception. If anyone
informs the Community Development Department of a reasonable objection concerning the
proposed fence height exception within five days of the posting, the Director shall schedule a
hearing for the application as provided for administrative use permits. If no questions or
objections are received by the Community Development Department within five days after
posting, the Director may issue a letter of approval upon submission of all required information
EXHIBIT A
and without further notice or public hearing. (Ord. 1006 - 1 (part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982:
prior code - 9202.5(F))
Chapter 17.16.060 Parking space requirements.
D. Automobile trip reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may
reduce the parking requirement for projects implementing non -auto travel, particularly for
commuting, when it can be demonstrated that reduction of on -site parking will be safe, and
will not be detrimental to the surrounding area or cause a decline in quality of life. The
applicant shall provide reasonable justification for the reduction, including innovative project
design, transportation demand management (tdm), or incentives, which will reduce single -
occupant vehicle travel to and from the site. These may include, but are not limited to
programs such as carsharing, employer -paid transit passes, cashouts (i.e. trip reduction
incentive plans), or off -peak work hours.
E. Off -site Parking. The Director may, by approving an administrative use permit, allow some or
all of the required parking to be located on a site different from the use. Such off -site parking
shall be within a zone where the use is allowed or conditionally allowed, or within an office,
commercial or manufacturing zone. It shall be within 300 feet of the use and shall not be
separated from the use by any feature that would make pedestrian access inconvenient or
hazardous. The site on which the parking is located shall be owned, leased or otherwise
controlled by the party controlling the use. (Ord. 1006 - 1 (part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982:
prior code - 9202.5(G))
F. Bicycle and Motorcycle Spaces. Each use or development, which requires 10 or more
spaces, shall provide facilities for parking bicycles and motorcycles as follows:
1. Motorcycle Spaces. Parking for motorcycles shall be provided at the rate of one space
for each 20 car spaces. Projects that provide more motorcycle spaces than required may
reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car space for each five motorcycle
spaces, up to a 10% reduction.
2. Bicycle Spaces. Parking for bicycles shall be provided in accordance with Table 6.5. All
bicycle spaces shall be located at the ground floor level. Additional City standards and
guidelines for bicycle parking can be found in the City's Engineering Standards,
Community Design Guidelines, and Bicycle Transportation Plan. Projects which provide
more bicycle and /or motorcycle spaces than required may reduce the required car
spaces at the rate of one car space for each five bicycle spaces, up to a 10% reduction.
All bicycle parking that exceeds the required number of spaces shall be apportioned
between short-term and long -term bicycle spaces as stipulated by Table 6.5
G. Requirements by Type of Use. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, for every
structure erected or enlarged and for any land or structure devoted to a new use requiring more
spaces according to the schedule set out in this subsection, the indicated minimum number of
off - street parking spaces located on the site of the use shall be provided.
The right to occupy and use any premises shall be contingent on preserving the required parking
and maintaining its availability to the intended users, including residents, staff, and/or customers.
In no case may required parking spaces for a use be rented or leased to off -site uses or used for
other purposes.
Parking, in addition to these requirements, may be required as a condition of use permit approval.
A - 7
EXHIBIT A
H. Uses Not Listed.
The Director shall determine the parking requirement for uses which are not listed. His/her
determination shall be based on similarity to listed uses, and may be appealed to the Planning
Commission.
I. Parking calculations.
1. The parking requirement is based on the gross floor area of the entire use, unless stated
otherwise.
2. When the calculation of required parking results in a fractional number, it shall be
rounded to the next highest whole number if the fraction is one -half or more; otherwise it
shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number.
3. Where there has been a reduction in required parking, all resulting spaces must be
available for common use and not exclusively assigned to any individual use.
J. Tandem parking.
For residential uses, when parking spaces are identified for the exclusive use of occupants of a
designated dwelling, required spaces may be arranged in tandem (that is, one space behind the
other) subject to approval of the Community Development Director. Provision of required parking
for a particular use in the street yard is prohibited.

b. "Short- Term" bicycle parking is used by visitors to multi - family housing and by
patrons of commercial and institutional uses. Bicycle racks are used to satisfy this
need.
c. "Long- Term" bicycle parking is used by employees of commercial and institutional
uses and by residents. Fully enclosed lockers are used to satisfy this need.
Lockable rooms reserved for bicycle storage and secured parking areas managed by
attendants are other acceptable forms. Bicycles shall be parked vertically or
horizontally with at least the rear tire resting at floor level.
d. In addition to short- and long -term parking required for commercial uses, residential
uses in all zones shall provide bicycle lockers or interior space within each dwelling
or accessory structure (e.g. garages) for the storage of at least two bicycles per unit.
