§ 3.30

The purpose of the -sr Scenic Roads combining district is to protect the visual character of scenic roads in Santa Clara County through special development and sign regulations. The -sr combining district applies to all designated scenic roads in unincorporated Santa Clara County.

The regulations set forth in this chapter shall apply as indicated, and shall supersede any conflicting regulations of the base zoning district. A designator "-sr" is added to the base zoning designator for properties to which this combining district applies.

A.

Requirement for design review. On scenic roads other than US 101, any structure, including signs, that is located within 100 feet of the right-of-way of a designated scenic roadway shall be subject to design review, as described in Chapter 5.50 of this Zoning Ordinance. Structures in the -sr combining district that are not within 100 feet of a scenic roadway do not require design review, except as otherwise required in the base district or other combining districts applied to the subject property.

B.

Design review exemptions. Buildings within 100 feet of a scenic road shall not be eligible for design review exemptions. Additions to existing buildings within 100 feet of a scenic road may be eligible for design review exemption provided no part of the addition is nearer to the scenic road right-of-way line than the nearest part of the existing building. Structures (non-buildings), such as fences, decks and retaining walls, that otherwise meet the criteria for exemption from design review as provided in Chapter 5.50 shall be eligible for exemption.

C.

US 101 scenic setbacks. No building or structure, including signs, may be located within 100 feet of the right-of-way of US 101, with the exception of fences. Fences may be permitted subject to the applicable design review provisions of Chapter 5.50.
