FROM:
PLANNING COMMISSION
P.U.D. STUDY COMMITTEE
'.
SUBJECT: SUGGESTED CHANGES TO PLA~NED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
The Planned Unit, Development study, committee recommends
the following sections of the Plan~ed Unit Development regu-
lations to be modified to read as follows:
9277.1 B~ Each application for the establishment of a,
~esidential planned development, shall be accompanied by the
following preliminary plans; plot plan, subdiyi~io~,plan,
building elevations, landsc~pe a~d site'improvement plan,
and such related plans and data which may be prescribed from
time to time by a resolution of the Planning Commission.
.
9277.1 D. The Planning Commission shall have the
authority to approve an application if it finds ,that, the
proposed development is well related to existing and ,planned
use and circulation p,atterns in the neighborhood and provides
a better environmental design than would be possible under
etandard subdivision procedures.
9277.1 E. A condition of each permit shall be, that final
precise plans for the project shall be subject to review by
the Commission. The Commission shall ,have the authority to
approve said plans if they, substantially conform with the
terms of the conditional use permit.
9277.7. DENSITY. The maximum number of lots' within
a residential planned development shall be determined by
dividing the gross square footage of the subject property
by the minimUJli lot, area required by the underlying zone.
.
9277.10. 'COMMON AREAS AND'COMMON IMPROVEMENTS. All
l~nd within the development which is not', subdivided into
separate lots or dedicated for streets or'other public pur-
poses, shall be shown as "common area" on the final subdivision
map and shall be for the common use' of the owners of lots
within the development, an<;l each owner of a lot' 'shall own an

PUD REGULATIONS
2
9277.12, SITE COVERAGE. (Delete') This section, does
not seem necessary inasmuch as the' site coverage, is a factor
which could be regulated by the 'Commission'as a part of'a
conditional use permit approval.
The Committee also suggests that new sections of the
Planned Unit Development be provided as follows:
"Where dwelling units 'share a common wall, the con-
struction of said wall shall be governed by the sections of
the Arcadia Mupicipal Code relating to walls separating
adjoining dwellings."
"Any request for modification to an approved conditional
use permit for a Planned Uhit Developmen~ shall be made by
application to the Modification Commi t,tee. "
.
Also, in, conjunction with the, latter section, the
Umi ts of Modification Commi tt,ee authority should be spelled
out in the Arcadia Municipal Code in the section regulating
the authority of the Modification Committee.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Number 4. DENSITY. The maximum number of lots within a
Residential Planned Development shall be determined by dividing
85% of the gross square footage of sUbJect proper,ty by the
minimum lot area required by the underlying zone.
