Section 5: The development of single family
condominiums and single family planned unit developments
have recently been proliferating. . The recent surge in
single family condominium projects and planned unit develop-
ments, and their impact upon surrounding residential neighbor-
hoods have placed into question the sufficiency of existing
regulations. The Planning Commission is conducting studies,
and intends to conduct further studies, to determine and
establish permanent regulations on planned unit developments
and condominiums. Planned unit developments and condominiums
projects under the existing zoning ordinance will be
under-taken that may conflict with the zoning and land use

classifications and regulations presently being studied.
The construction of any development that would conflict with
future regulations would be highly detrimental to the
welfare of the community. Due to the foregoing circumstances,
there is a current and immediate threat to the public
health, safety and welfare. The issuance of building
permits, conditional use permits, design review approval, or
any other applicable entitlement for use for planned unit
developments and condominiums under the zoning ordinance
would result in a threat to public health, safety, or
welfare. This ordinance will insure that no such use will
be approved prior to the adoption of permanent regulations,
and without due consideration by the planning commission of
the potential impact .of said uses and the imposition of
conditions. Therefore, this ordinance is necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety
and welfare, is an urgency interim ordinance adopted pursuant
to Section 65858 of the California Government Code, and
shall take effect immediately. _
