Article IX

PD 2010-01 (Enchanted Resort And Spa)

Planned Development District PD 2010-01 is a base district that regulates development of approximately 88 acres of land located on the southwest side of Foothill Boulevard (State Route 128/29) in the southeast corner of the City, as shown on the zoning map of the City of Calistoga, California, February 5, 1991, as amended, which legal description is on file with the City of Calistoga Planning Department.

Planned Development District PD 2010-01 is important to the community as it regulates the coordinated development of approximately 88 contiguous acres located at a key entrance to the City of Calistoga. The development of PD 2010-01 will provide a high quality destination resort including a mix of hotel units, residential units and tourist amenities not currently available in the City, while positively contributing to the economy through new capital investment, ongoing jobs and a tax base.

To encourage high quality development while conserving significant natural resources, future development within PD 2010-01 shall implement the City's General Plan policies relating to the site. Because it contains wooded hillside, development of PD 2010-01 shall be sensitive to the rural scale of the subject parcel and its surroundings including, but not limited to, preserving natural vegetation and trees, protecting scenic vistas from adjoining properties by providing sufficient height restrictions, setbacks, maintaining on-site drainage and minimizing grading.

Development shall be clustered so as to avoid deleterious impacts on adjacent land uses and to include the careful placement of mixed land uses, lighting, landscaping, building location and equipment that generates noise. Architectural design shall be carefully considered and consistent with the rural traditions of the area and the design criteria for the entry corridor, and adequate landscaping shall be provided to blend the natural and built elements of the development.

Unless otherwise provided below, all proposed uses in PD 2010-01 shall require a use permit. For the purposes of this section, a use permit shall be used interchangeably to also mean a planned development permit. Development shall be in conformance with the following regulations.

(Ord. 686 § 2, 2012)

• A. Notwithstanding any other section of the CMC or regulation, the following definitions shall apply within PD 2010-01:

  1. "Residence club units" are those 20 homes and clubhouse which are part of the resort to be marketed as fractional shares and managed by the resort.

  2. "Roof height" and/or "building height" shall be measured as set forth in CMC § 17.04.100 and § 17.38.040(C) and (D).

3. All other definitions are as set forth in the CMC unless otherwise stated.
