Pinole Municipal Code Ch. 17.43 Integrated Developments

The purpose of this chapter is to allow consideration of an integrated development project on multiple parcels and/or in multiple buildings. The intent is to encourage the integration of uses vertically and horizontally using flexibility in zoning standards to design the project across the entire site rather than parcel by parcel. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)

For purposes of this title, an integrated development is a group of two (2) or more adjacent parcels, under single or multiple ownership, or uses planned and/or developed in a joint manner which may include shared buildings, public spaces, landscape, parking or other facilities. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)

An integrated development shall only be approved through specific plan zoning adopted by ordinance pursuant to Section 17.12.170 (Specific Plans). (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)

A. Design. Proposed projects should seek to maximize development opportunities and minimize site constraints. Comprehensive design review shall be required for all integrated developments prior to issuance of building or grading permits.

B. Parcel boundaries. Buildings may not be constructed across parcel boundaries. Parking, landscaping or other similar improvements may cross parcel boundaries subject to cross-easements, joint use agreements or other similar mechanisms approved by the city.

C. Maintenance. Applications for integrated developments shall specify how buildings, facilities, improvements or areas in joint or common ownership or management shall be maintained, e.g., tenant association(s), CC&Rs, etc. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
