§ 17.16

The purposes of the special purpose zoning districts are as follows:

A.

PD (Planned Development) District. The PD zoning district denotes an area under single or common ownership that warrants detailed planning because of the presence of unique features, environmental conditions or development constraints. The PD zoning district is intended to accommodate a mix of uses with special standards that address the unique features, conditions, and constraints present. The PD zoning district is consistent with the PD land use district of the General Plan.

B.

HM (Hillside/Mountainous) District. The HM zoning district is applied to areas of the city characterized by steep hillsides and rugged terrain, where appropriate development is limited to single-family dwellings and similar, related compatible uses at very low density, designed to avoid areas of severe physical constraints and safety problems. The HM zoning district is consistent with the HM land use district of the General Plan.

C.

OS (Open Space) District. The OS zoning district is intended for areas of the city identified by the General Plan as having important environmental resources and hazards. The OS zoning district is consistent with the open space-resource protection land use district of the General Plan.

D.

OS-DR (Open Space-Development Restricted) District. The OS-DR zoning district is intended for areas of the city with existing open space that have been development restricted through the use of deed restrictions, conservation easements or dedications of common open space as part of an approved subdivision. The OS-DR zoning district will also accommodate publicly owned open space land.

E.

PF (Public Facilities) District. The PF zoning district is applied to land owned and operated by the city, county, state, or federal governments, or school districts, where a governmental, educational, recreational, or other institutional facility is the primary use of the site, and is sufficiently different from surrounding land uses to warrant a separate zoning district. The PF zoning district will also accommodate publicly or privately constructed uses and facilities developed on city-owned land and intended for a purpose found by the city to be in the public interest. The PF zoning district is consistent with the public facilities-institutional land use district of the General Plan.

F.

REC (Recreation) District. The REC zoning district is intended for public and private lands within the city committed to leisure and recreational uses that are primarily open space in character. Allowable uses include city-owned parks, regional recreation facilities, and similar, related compatible uses. The REC zoning district is consistent with the open space-recreational and public facilities-recreational land use districts of the General Plan.

A.

Voter approval required as follows:

1.

No amendment to the General Plan or any specific plan that would redesignate for non-open space use of any property in the city designated OS-R or OS-RP by the Land Use Map of the Calabasas General Plan, adopted on December 10, 2008 by Resolution Number 2008-1159 shall be effective for any purpose until that amendment has been approved by two-thirds of

the voters of the city casting votes on the question. Prior to the placement of such amendment on the ballot, the city shall follow the procedures required by local, state, and federal law, including the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. f. Such an amendment may take effect only upon two-thirds approval of those casting votes on the question.

2.

No amendment to the General Plan or any specific plan that would redesignate for non-open space use any property in the city designated PF-R by the Land Use Map of the Calabasas General Plan, adopted on December 10, 2008 by Resolution Number 2008-1159 shall be effective for any purpose without compliance with the applicable requirements of California law related to the protection of park lands, including Government Code Sections 25550.7, 37111, 37111.1, 38440 through 38462, 38501 through 38510 and Public Resources Code Sections 5400 et seq. If any future amendment of these sections reduce or eliminate requirements for a supermajority council vote or for a vote of the city's electorate, then such supermajority council vote or vote of the electorate shall continue to be required for the redesignation for non-open space use of property in the city designated PF-R.

B.

1.

Amendments determined by the council, on the advice of the city attorney, to be necessary to avoid an unconstitutional taking of private property or otherwise required by law;

2.

Reorganization, renumbering or updating elements of the General Plan in accordance with state law, provided that such actions do not reduce the property designated OS-R, OS-RP, and PF-R; or

3.

Amendments which facilitate any of the following land uses: uses permitted in the PF land use district; uses in support of open space uses such as bus shelters, parking facilities, and comfort stations; and public utility facilities (e.g., antennae and pipelines).

C.

Any land designated OS-R, OS-RP or PF-R after July 20, 2005, shall become subject to the requirements of this section upon such designation.

(Ord. No. 2010-265, § 3, 1-27-2010; Ord. No. 2015-325, § 2, 11-3-2015)

A.

Maximum allowable development. The regulations of the PD zoning district are intended to provide for a diversity of uses, land use relationships and open spaces in an innovative land plan and design. As shown on the General Plan Land Use Map

adopted by Resolution 2008-1159 on December 10, 2008, only one area on the east side of Las Virgenes Road at Agoura Road has been designated Planned Development. The maximum allowable development for this area shall be as follows:

1.

Sixty (60) multiple family residences.

2.

One hundred fifty-five thousand (155,000) square feet of commercial (office/retail) development.

B.

Minimum Development Area. The PD zoning district is intended to be applied only to those areas that are large enough to allow for overall planning and design in sufficient detail to achieve greater values and amenities than those achieved by present zoning districts. Within the PD zoning district, the minimum area shall be five acres, however, the minimum area may be less than five acres provided the director finds (i) there is a unique character to the site, to the proposed land use, or the proposed improvements; and (ii) the proposed reduction is consistent with the goals of the General Plan.
