(Ord. No. 4479, § 8(App. B), 9-22-2015)
8119-1.8.2 Building Height Measurement and Standards.
a.
Measurement of Building Height: The heights of buildings in all zones shall be measured as follows (see Figure 1.8.2):
1.
Pitched or Hip Roofs. For buildings with a pitched or hip roof, building height is the vertical distance from the finished grade to the averaged midpoint of the finished roof.
2.
Other Roof Types. For buildings with a flat roof, or buildings where the roof and walls form a continuous architectural unit (e.g. A-frame buildings, Quonset huts, geodesic domes), building height is the vertical distance from the finished grade to the highest point of the finished roof. This maximum height shall include the height of parapets and roof decks (per current building regulations).
3.
Calculation of Averaged Midpoint. The averaged midpoint is calculated by drawing a line between the highest point of the finished roof, at the main ridgeline, and the top of the roof covering where it intersects with a horizontal line drawn from the top of each of the two (2) exterior walls parallel to the main ridgeline. The midpoint is the point one-half of the distance between the upper and lower points. The averaged midpoint is the average of the two (2) midpoints.
4.
Finished Roof. When measuring height, the term "finished roof" shall be defined as a roof with the roof sheeting in place. However, the term "finished roof" shall not include other roofing materials.
b.
Building masses, including sloped roofs, shall not project beyond the maximum building height as shown in Tables 1.3.1(b), 1.3.2(b), 1.3.3(b), and 1.3.4(b). Apply Sec. 8106-7 for allowable exceptions to maximum height of buildings for architectural features (such as chimneys, church steeples, etc.).

3.
Chain link fences are allowed in the IND and RES zones when located in a side or rear yard setback, provided that the fence is slatted and screened with landscaping when visible from a public right-of-way (including alleys ). Such fences are prohibited when located along (or parallel to) the side of the lot that faces a Primary or Side Street.
b.
Height. When located within a Primary Street or Side Street setback, the maximum height for solid fences, walls or hedges shall be three (3) feet. When the fence, wall or hedge is see-through, transparent, or a combination (see Sec. 8119-1.8.3(c) below), the maximum height shall be five (5) feet. When located within a side or rear yard setback, the maximum height shall be six (6) feet.
Height exceptions may be available for parcels abutting SR-118 if needed to address potentially significant noise impacts. However, such walls shall be set back at least three (3) feet from the property line and shall be screened with landscaping.
c.
Transparency. A see-through or transparent wall, fence or hedge shall provide at least fifty (50) percent visibility throughout the fence. For a combination fence or wall (solid plus see-through), the solid portion of the wall shall be located at the bottom of the wall/fence and shall not exceed three (3) feet in height.
d.
Primary or Side Street Setbacks. For lots located in the Residential (RES) zone, a fence, wall or hedge located within the Primary or Side Street setback shall be located at least twelve (12) inches from the property line.

8119-1.8.6 Parking Standards.
Article 8 regulates all off-street parking and loading spaces for motor vehicles and bicycles. Article 8 also includes the parking area design and landscaping requirements as well as regulations related to Ventura County's Transportation Demand and Trip Reduction program. Additionally, the Ventura County Parking and Loading Design Guidelines provides information and assistance in the application of parking regulations.
This section includes parking requirements for land uses not identified in Article 8. It also includes requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Unless specified below, the parking standards from Article 8 shall be applied to development in Old Town Saticoy. In the event that parking standards listed below are not consistent with Article 8, the more stringent of the two (2) requirements shall prevail.
a.
Number of Parking Spaces required.
1.
Uses not listed in Table 1.8.6 below: The number of parking spaces will be calculated as per Sec. 8108-4. Also, adjustments can be made to the number of motor vehicle parking spaces pursuant to Sec. 8108-4.8.

[2] The number of spaces identified for live/work units are in addition to the number of parking spaces required for the Principal Use.
b.
Allowances for Commercial Parking. Commercial uses within the Town Center (TC) zone may utilize the following options for meeting parking requirements:
1.
Off-site Parking and Off-site Parking Agreements: Apply Sec. 8108-3.3 which allows commercial businesses to utilize an off-site parking lot.
2.
On-Street Parking Offsets: Apply Sec. 8108-4.8 for adjustments allowed to the required number of the vehicle parking spaces and, if applicable, for requirements for a Parking Study or Transportation Demand Management Plan.
3.
Shared Parking Lots: Apply Sec. 8108-4.6, which describes where shared use of parking lots is allowed when two (2) or more land uses on the same or separate sites are able to share the same parking spaces because their parking demands occur at different times.
4.
Joint Parking Agreements: Access easements can be utilized for a reciprocal or joint parking agreement between two (2) adjoining property owners, allowing for a shared use of vehicular parking areas at the rear of contiguous commercial parcels. These agreements do not relieve a developer from providing the minimum number of parking spaces for the use, but they can provide more efficient parking lots (i.e., provide more parking) and can minimize the number of entrances into the parking area. For a definition of Joint Parking Agreements , see Chapter 7 Definitions in the Saticoy Area Plan.
c.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations shall be provided for discretionary development located in the TC, R/MU and IND zones as required by existing Building Code regulations and State law, as amended.
