Multiple Unit Residential - Grossmont Specific Plan Overlay - Urban Design Overlay Zone

Multiple Unit Residential Zone: This zone provides for apartment-type development within the City. The minimum net lot area per dwelling unit for residential development in this zone shall not be less than 2,420 sq ft, except that this may be reduced to no less than 1,895 sq ft as provided by this Chapter. All projects in this zone will be evaluated to ensure compliance with the development standards of this Title, City-adopted design objectives and standards, and the goals and objectives of the General Plan. The development and design standards applicable under this zone are minimum standards, and shall not be reduced solely for the purpose of achieving maximum density for any development.; Grossmont Specific Plan Overlay Zone: This chapter establishes developmental standards and regulations for a unique area of the city, consisting of the Grossmont Hospital, Grossmont Shopping Center, two Metropolitan Transit Development Board station sites, and related surrounding uses. This area will also be highly impacted by the proposed Route 8/125 interchange and extension of Route 125 to the north.; This area should develop as a relatively high density, urban subcenter with densities at the upper end of ranges feasible under market demands, including Grossmont Hospital as a regional medical facility. To accomplish this and retain compatibility with surrounding land uses, this chapter and the Grossmont Specific Plan establishes additional guidelines or exceptions to other sections of the Zoning Ordinance.; Urban Design Overlay Zone: All new development and major renovations or remodeling of property within the Urban Design Overlay Zone shall be subject to the requirements of the Urban Design Program and approval by the Design Review Board and City Council in accordance with Resolution No. 15540. This zone is used to supplement the required land use regulations that are reviewed under the standard provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Projects developed within this overlay zone will be evaluated on their compliance with both the unique design criteria that pertain to the visually sensitive areas and the general development guidelines established by the Urban Design Program established in Resolution No. 15539.
