23.45.010 Regulations generally.

Effective the date of the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter by the city council or by the voters of the city of Pacific Grove, the following regulations shall apply to multiple residential developments involving condominiums or planned unit developments (PUDs), in lieu of any ordinance or resolution to the contrary:

(a) In any planned unit or condominium development, the permitted number of dwelling units per acre shall not be more than 25 percent greater than that constructed in the nearest single-family residential district (hereafter referred to as defined in the Pacific Grove zoning ordinance, PGMC 23.12.010, as it existed on June 1, 1982). Should more than one single-family residential district be adjacent to the development, the lowest number of units per acre will be observed. However, in no case shall there be less than 4,000 square feet of land per unit. In computing land area available for such purposes, areas shall be excluded which would not normally constitute part of the building site, such as:

(1) A minimum of 24-foot-wide strip for the length of any private roadway proposed for common use;

(2) Any area serving as commercial or visitor-commercial use and uses ancillary thereto; and

(3) Clubhouses, common recreational buildings, meeting rooms, and sales rooms and area.

(b) Fifty percent of the entire building site area, but exclusive of common roadways, shall not be covered vertically from the ground upward and shall be landscaped with permeable plants or materials.

(c) The height of any structure shall not exceed 25 feet.

(d) Two covered automobile parking spaces shall be provided for the exclusive use of each dwelling unit. [Ord. 1315 N.S. § 1, 1982].

23.45.020 Timeshare projects prohibited.

Timeshare projects shall not be permitted in the city of Pacific Grove. [Ord. 1315 N.S. § 1, 1982].

23.45.030 Intention of chapter.

It is the intention of this chapter to avoid special privileges for condominiums and planned unit developments and to have such forms of development conform to the zoning standards and subdivision standards applicable to single-family residential district development. It is also the intention of this chapter in prohibiting timeshares to avoid the conversion and loss of the city’s residential stock and character. [Ord. 1315 N.S. § 1, 1982].

23.45.040 Building permit issuance restricted.

No building permit shall be issued that is not consistent with the provisions of this enactment. [Ord. 1315 N.S. § 1, 1982].

23.45.050 Severability.

The provisions of this enactment are independent and separable and if any one provision is held to be invalid the people declare their intention that they would have enacted each provision separately. [Ord. 1315 N.S. § 1, 1982].
