Editor's note— Ord. No. 11-388, § 48, adopted Dec. 14, 2011, renumbered Pt. 10 as Pt. 11 and amended it in its entirety. Former Pt. 10, §§ 9496—9499, pertained to SP specific plan and derived from Ord. No. 120, adopted Feb. 3, 1987; Ord. 193, § 4, adopted Sept. 25, 1991; Ord. No. 02-310, §§ 3C, 3D, adopted March 5, 2002; Ord. No. 05-331, § 1, adopted April 14, 2005.

The purpose of this planned development district is to designate certain areas of the city for special development and land use regulations that cannot be addressed through the city-wide zoning ordinances. Specific regulations are necessary to guide development and land uses in an orderly manner such that they are compatible with the existing setting, as well as to ensure that development seamlessly and cohesively integrates uses and buildings.

(Ord. No. 11-388, § 48, 12-14-2011)

All property in the PD zone shall be used only for the purposes permitted by the general plan and the specific plan or other similar regulatory document adopted for such property.

(Ord. No. 11-388, § 48, 12-14-2011; Ord. No. 14-409, § 10, 8-13-2014)

Conditional uses are permitted in the PD zoning district as allowed per the specific plan or other regulatory document adopted for such property.

(Ord. No. 11-388, § 48, 12-14-2011; Ord. No. 14-409, § 10, 8-13-2014)

Any use or structure not specified in section 9497 shall be prohibited in the PD district.

(Ord. No. 11-388, § 48, 12-14-2011)

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable specific plan or other similar regulatory document, within the PD zone, the gross floor area of a retail store shall not exceed sixty thousand (60,000) square feet. This limitation shall be applied as follows:

A. The sixty thousand (60,000) square foot limitation shall apply to individual retail stores for which permits are sought and also to the cumulative sum of related or successive permits for retail stores that are part of a larger project, such as piecemeal additions to a building or multiple buildings on a lot or adjacent lots.

B. For purpose of this section, the gross floor area of a retail store shall include gross floor area as defined in section 9120.6 and the area of all portions of the site outside of the exterior walls of a building used for the display, storage, or sale of any goods, wares or merchandise, except that the gross floor areas of not more than three thousand (3,000) square feet used for seasonal or temporary sales events under appropriate city permits or approvals.

C. The gross floor area of adjacent stores shall be aggregated in cases where the stores (1) are engaged in the selling of similar or related goods, wares or merchandise and operate under common ownership or management; (2) share checkstands, a warehouse, or a distribution facility; or (3) otherwise operate as associated, integrated or co-operative business enterprises.

(Ord. No. 11-388, § 48, 12-14-2011)

A. Purpose and overview. The purpose of the cost recovery fee is to allow the city of Agoura Hills to recover the costs for preparing and implementing the Agoura Village Specific Plan, as well as other various related planning and environmental costs. The Agoura Village Specific Plan addresses the need to create a mix of uses that offer a town center and a pedestrian-friendly environment at a key location in the city, and results in enhanced public facilities and design features within the Agoura Village area. Since all property owners within the project area will benefit from these enhancements, the processing costs will be spread equitably among all property owners.

B. Applicability. The applicant for any building permit and/or discretionary land use permit for new construction on property located in whole or in part within the Agoura Village Specific Plan zone shall pay the Agoura Village Cost Recovery Fee at the same time and in the same manner as building permit and other development fees.

C. Agoura Village Reimbursable Expenditures. As shown in Table 1, the costs to be recovered are estimated at four hundred ninety seven thousand and seven hundred thirty-one dollars ($497,731.00), and include the costs of preparing and implementing the strategic action plan, costs for design assistance and financial plan preparation, and costs for roundabout design and traffic engineering. The costs to be recovered are documented and such documentation is on file in the department of community development.

D. Agoura Village Description. The land uses utilized in the EIR are summarized in Table 2. As shown, there is an estimated eight hundred forty-six thousand and two hundred eight (846,208) square feet included in the Agoura Village project development. The area encompasses about ninety-eight (98) acres, of which about forty (40) acres is developable. This represents the total square feet under build out conditions. About thirty-two (32) percent of the land use is allocated to residential use, with about sixty-eight (68) percent to retail use.

E. Allocation methodology. Fees have been estimated by spreading the costs on an equitable basis using square footage. Fee allocation based on square footage provides a more equitable distribution of costs than fee allocation based on developable acreage. The estimated costs of four hundred ninety-seven thousand and seven hundred thirty-one dollars ($497,731.00) have been allocated over the different square footages estimated for Agoura Village. The cost recovery fee based on square footage is estimated at $0.5882 per square foot.
