Draft <br />2.0 Land Use Element <br />Program 5.1: Enforce the provisions of the City's Zoning Ordinance and <br />related planning ordinances to maintain the character of <br />existing residential neighborhoods. <br />Program 5.2: Use the City's development review procedures to minimize <br />intrusions, such as traffic and noise, into existing <br />neighborhoods. <br />Polity 6: Develop new housing in infill and peripheral areas which are adjacent to <br />existing residential development, near transportation hubs or local-serving <br />commercial areas. <br />Program 6.1: Zone vacant infill sites at densities to encourage <br />development and affordable housing while respecting the <br />character of surrounding uses. <br />Policy 7: Provide flexibility in residential development standards and housing type <br />consistent with the desired community character. <br />Program 7.1: Use Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning for <br />residential properties that have unique characteristics or to <br />accommodate development that does not fit under standard <br />zoning classifications. <br />Program 7.2: Residential projects proposed for land designated as Rural <br />Density Residential should be encouraged to cluster home <br />sites on lots of one acre or larger but may include any <br />housing type. <br />Policy 8: Residential density is determined by the General Plan density range or <br />applicable specific plan as outlined below: <br />^ Residential projects proposed for land designated as Low- and Medium- <br />Density Residential should propose densities generally consistent with the <br />average densities assumed for buildout of the General Plan, as shown in <br />Table 2-3, and may include any housing type. <br />^ Low- and Medium-Density projects which propose densities greater than <br />the average shown in Table 2-3 should be zoned PUD and contain <br />sufficient public amenities to justify the higher density. Examples of <br />amenities which might qualify a project for density bonus include the <br />provision of affordable housing; and dedication and/or improvement of <br />parkland, open space, and/or trails beyond the standard requirements. <br />LU element 082107 clean 2-27 <br />
