II. DEVELOPMENT PLAN A. LAND USE PLAN Proposed Uses and Densities Paso Robles is a 1,338-acre mixed -use development featuring a range of low to medium -high density neighborhood housing with several areas reserved for open space, neighborhood business and commercial uses. To accomplish this combination of uses successfully, the PDD has two base zoning districts: Mixed Use for the primarily residential area and General Commercial for the primarily commercial area. A pedestrian network connecting the community centers and natural spaces is an essential part of Paso Robles. Land set aside as developed or undeveloped open space accounts for about 26.1 % (approximately 349.7 acres) of the total land area of Paso Robles. At this time, it is anticipated that Paso Robles will be primarily an Active Adult (age restricted / targeted) community. Future market studies however, may determine if more primary market neighborhoods should be a targeted demographic population for specific neighborhoods within Paso Robles. Should a non-residential use which is appropriate for neighborhood commercial wish to locate within the mixed use district, up to ten acres may be designated for neighborhood commercial uses. Through the Paso Robles PDD, the open space and range of housing types paired with the property's setting will shape its sense of place. While taking advantage of scenic views and vistas, the open space will offer neighborhood connectivity as well as access to daily activities that are within walking distance. The primary open space element will be an 18-hole golf course. Market studies will also determine the future residents' desire for on -site vineyards and a winery as a community amenity. If provided, the use of the winery and vineyards will be for Paso Robles residents. Wine produced on -site may be allowed to be sold within the Paso Robles community centers or stores. Vineyards would be located within platted common open space areas. The winery is intended to be within or adjacent to the community center areas. The City of San Marcos Land Development Code (hereinafter "the Code" or "SMLDC") caps Residential Density at 3.0 units per gross acre in this area. In order to provide more open space, trails and an enhanced quality of life for its residents, Paso Robles will place a unit cap on the mixed use portion (MU district) of the project of 3,150 dwelling units which is less than 2.7 units per gross acre. This 3,150 dwelling unit cap does not apply to the general commercial portion (GC district) of the project.
