Squaw Valley General Plan & Land Use Ordinance 1983

Section 242- Low Density Residential:  The intent of this district is to create areas within which land uses are restricted to single-family dwellings and related uses.  The district provides for the traditional lot and block subdivisions containing single-family detached homes as well as low-density Planned Unit developments (condominiums).  This designation has been used primarily to provide for the in-fill development of existing single-family subdivisions.  However, it also applies to small undeveloped areas adjoining the existing subdivisions.  The design of new subdivisions must avoid access, snow removal, slope, and avalanche problems such as are apparent in the upper areas of existing subdivisions on the Valley’s north side.

 

            242.10- Permitted Principle Uses and Structures:

a)      Community care homes for not more than 6 persons.

b)      Condominiums

c)      Home occupations

d)      Private recreation facilities for use by residents of the subdivision of which the recreation facilities are a part.

e)      Public recreation facilities

f)       Rooming and boarding of not to exceed 4 persons

g)      Single-family dwellings

h)      Structures and uses required for the operation of a public utility or performance of a governmental function.

 

242.12- Permitted Accessory Uses and Structures:  Uses and structures which are customarily accessory and clearly incidental to permitted principle uses and structures shall be permitted in this district, subject to the general restrictions on principle uses and structures.

 

242.14- Planned Unit Development:  The standards contained in Chapter 30, Subchapter 10, Section 10.060 of the Placer County Zoning Ordinance shall apply in this district except where the requirements noted herein are more restrictive.

 

242.24- Density Factor (Land Use Intensity):  The land use intensity of this district shall not exceed the density factor, expressed in bedrooms per acre, shown on the plan map.  The maximum density used in the Low-Density Residential District in the Squaw Valley General Plan shall not exceed 10 bedrooms per acre.  The density factor shall not apply to residential subdivision lots legally created prior to January 1, 1983.

 

242.26- Parking Requirements:  Parking spaces shall be provided in this district at the ratio of ¾ space per bedroom.  Such parking required to meet the requirements of this ordinance must be located on the building site, not within County road rights-of-way.
