§ 17.35.050. General development standards for commercial and public uses.

A.

The development standards set forth in Table 17.35.050.A are intended to provide minimum standards for commercial and public development. These standards should be used in conjunction with the special development standards contained in this chapter applicable to specific uses as indicated on said table.

B.

This section shall not be construed to supersede more restrictive site development standards contained in the conditions, covenants and restrictions of any property, or as shown on the composite development plan or final map for any subdivision. However, in no case shall private deed restrictions or map requirements be interpreted to allow a lesser standard (in the case of a minimum standard) or a greater standard (in the case of a maximum standard) than the development standards set forth herein.

C.

Deviations from the standards set forth in this section may only be allowed by approval of a variance or minor deviation, pursuant to Section 17.03.180; or through approval of a comprehensive development plan pursuant to Section 17.03.280 (Specific Plan Review) or Section 17.03.220 (Development Agreements).

D.

Nothing in this section shall be construed as making lots illegal which were legally created prior to the adoption of these regulations. For information on non-conforming uses and structures, see Section 17.03.320 of the Development Code.
