Chapter 3.30 provides regulatory standards governing land use and building form within the Non-Transectbased zoning areas. The Zoning Code is a reflection of the community vision for implementing the intent of the General Plan. These standards are intended to en-

sure that proposed development is compatible with existing and future development on neighboring properties, and produces an environment of desirable character, consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.

The requirements of Chapter 3.30 shall apply to all proposed development within Non-Transect-based zones, and shall be considered in combination with the standards for the applicable zone in Article 4 (General

to Zones) and those in Article 6 (Specific to Uses). If there is a conflict between any standards, the provisions of Article 3 (Specific to Zones) control over Article 4 and the provisions of Article 6 control over Articles 3 and 4.

Chapter 3.30 Non-Transect Zones

A. Intent and Purpose

The PD zone is applied to areas of Tehachapi's that are appropriate for the planned development of large parcels to allow comprehensive site planning and building design. The use of PD zones provides for a more flexible regulatory procedure by which the General Plan and Zoning Code may be accomplished. The use of PD zones also allows the applicant and City to respond to unique circumstances afforded by a given property. Other intended purposes of PD zones include:

2. Promotion of public and private open space as an integral part of land development design;

3. Preservation of property with unique physical or historic features; and

4. Promotion of private development in older areas of the city. A PD zone may be established and development commenced only upon demonstration that the above purposes will be achieved and that the applicant and his successors are willing and able to implement a master development plan in accordance with conditions and time schedules agreed upon between the applicant and the city, as provided herein.

B. Applicable Requirements

All property shall comply with the following applicable requirements:

1. Physical Character. Property shall comply with the development standards of the underlying zone or those approved by the Commission.

3. General for Land Use

• a) Policies relative to the uses permitted in any planned development shall be determined in compliance with the general location, amounts and densities of such uses as set forth in the General Plan; or in specified plans adopted by the City. Planned developments may, under these circumstances, combine a variety of land uses.

• b) Mixed use may include any skilful combination of the range of permitted uses, and may occur among or within buildings as long as the uses are compatible with each other and with existing and potential uses surrounding the zone.

D. General Standards

1. Development and Operational Standards

• a) Standards for area, coverage, light, and air orientation, building height, sign placement and design, setback requirements, open spaces, off-street parking, and screening for planned development uses, shall be established for each development for which a PD zone is requested and adopted by the Commission.
