EXHIBIT A
PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NO. 1
AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO MASTER PLAN TEXT
FOR THE WEST COVINA PORTION OF WOODSIDE VILLAGE
(Adopted by City Council Resolution No.)
I. INTRODUCTION
This Master Plan Text (Plan) is to be utilized as the development guide for the creation of the
planned community for the West Covina portion of "Woodside Village." The policies and
proposals of the Plan intend to create a total community; i.e., a community that reflects a balance
between the people who reside there and the schools, parks, other public services, and the
shopping facilities which those residents desire. The Plan also reflects the desires of the
developers to provide a means of satisfying the housing demands of persons wanting to live in
West Covina. This is accomplished through the inclusion of density patterns which will
accommodate a variety of residential dwelling types appealing to various income groups. The Plan
was prepared utilizing the criteria defined within the West Covina PCD (Planned Community
Development) Ordinance.
II. DEFINITIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, the definitions contained in Chapter 26 (Zoning) of the West Covina
Municipal Code shall apply to Woodside Village.
Density - is the average number of dwelling units per acre allowable within a density segment.
The total number of residential dwelling units allowable within a density segment shall be
determined by multiplying the number of acres within such segment (after excluding acreage of
commercial site, school sites, neighborhood and community park sites and all rights -of -way of the
adjacent highways shown on the Master Plan) by the density sown for such density shown for
such density segment.
Highways - is all right-of-way that is over 60 feet in width.
Open Space - Shall be usable land less than or equal to a 20% slope and readily available to
adjacent dwelling units.
Streets - all right-of-way that is up to and including 60 feet
III. PHYSICAL FEATURES
The Woodside Village Master Plan covers some 2,257 acres of undulating foothills, of which
approximately 1,124 acres are in West Covina and 1,133 acres are in Walnut. Drainage is
generally southerly, with drainage courses from the property extending toward Azusa Avenue on
the west, Valley Boulevard on the south, and the future extension of Lemon -Citrus on the east.
This pattern of minor drainage tributary areas has been taken into account and is reflected in the
land use pattern proposed. Slope and view analyses of the property have been prepared and
utilized to capture the maximum view and environment potential of the land.
Preliminary soils and geological studies indicate no major problems within the boundaries of the
developable portion of Woodside Village. If problems do exist, they will be geotechnically
corrected.
Compilation of the above physical features inventories help to define the major land forms
existing upon the property. A very prominent "bowl' exists within the central portion of
Woodside Village, and this area has been utilized to create the central focus of the community.
This topographic bowl is ringed on the west, south, and east by other minor bowls (or tributary
areas) which orient to the exterior boundaries of the property and, therefore, demand relationships
with the surrounding existing land uses. These features have been taken into account and have
been reflected in the land use patterns proposed for Woodside Village.
IV. ECONOMIC GUIDELINE
The development of Woodside Village is directly keyed to the market absorption of the dwellings
that will be constructed. Construction has commenced, and the total development of the West
Covina portion of Woodside Village is anticipated within a three to five year time period. It is
understood that national, state, and local economic factors as well as new technology, dwelling
unit types, and construction techniques may affect economic market penetration and, therefore,
this time schedule. Therefore, development may be longer due to economic market absorption and
housing demand.
Development within an approved Development Plan may occur in phases to be approved by t he
Planning Commission at time of submittal and subsequent thereto for any revisions.
V. PROPOSED LAND USE
The following information provides a description of the developed and proposed land use
categories depicted on the Woodside Village Master Plan. The Master Plan has been divided into
Woodside Village Master Plan Text
Amendment No. 10
Page 2 of 2
commercial segments and residential density segments, the generalized boundaries of which are
designated on the accompanying map (Exhibit "1" entitled, "Woodside Village Master Plan - PCD
No. 1 Amendment No. 2").
A. RESIDENTIAL
Several classifications of residential land use density are proposed. The density designations do
• not specify specific dwelling unit types. Any density classification can accommodate various
types of dwelling units, as long as the total number of units constructed within each density
segment of the Woodside Village Master Plan does not exceed the total number of dwelling unit
designated for such density segment.
Neighborhood and community park city acreage may be included in the calculation of allowable
dwelling units when said park area is to be dedicated to the City. Dwelling units generated by this
calculation shall be distributed throughout the Master Plan area.
Permanent common open space (excluding neighborhood and community park sites) readily
available to adjacent dwelling units is to be equal to or greater in area than the total acreage of all
local street rights -of -way up to an including 60 feet. If this requirement is not met, then the
allowable dwelling units for any precise Development Plan will be reduced by the number
resulting from multiplying the acreage deficiency by the density; providing that a minimum of
80% of the area devoted to local streets is offset by common usable open space.
In the event that more than one (1) Development Plan is to be submitted for a density segment, the
total number of dwelling units constructed or to be constructed shall not exceed the total number
of dwelling units allowable in such density segment. As an example, a Development Plan could
be submitted utilizing attached townhouses for a density segment designated as four dwelling units
to the acre even though previous Development Plans for the same density segment utilized
detached single family homes.
In the event a school site is not utilized for such purpose, then the underlying density segment
shall be used in calculating the number of additional allowable dwelling units.
Should a church be built within average density segment, the total number of acres of the church
site shall be multiplied by the density and subtracted from the total number of units allowed within
that segment.
B. COMMERCIAL
Commercial services are intended to range from neighborhood convenience type retail to
community shopping center services such as department stores. Areas for commercial centers
have been designated on the Master Plan. More precise definition of uses will be submitted as
precise development plans are prepared.
The commercial facilities are intended to provide services to residential areas and are not limited
in their commercial service role to solely those residents of Woodside Village.
St.rag, lots and w _st...anP uscs, Subject tQ the a ,al Qf a ondifion,,l uge r.n't and
West ovma Municipal Code.
Auto supply stores in Woodside Village which include installation and minor services shall be
permitted the following uses in conjunction with retail sales:
I. Lubrication including grease rack or elevator;
2. Minor tire service;
3. Minor battery service;
4. Minor motor tune-up;
5. Head lamp adjusting;
6. Brake adjusting and repair;
7. Installation of service -related parts and accessories.
• The establishment of commercial facilities having a regional attraction is not proposed for
Woodside Village.
C. COMMUNITY FACILITIES
1. Schools:
Public school plans, as designated, reflect the Standards for plant capacity, student generation, and
general location as supplied by the Rowland Unified School District. The student yield for this
development is calculated as follows:
.81 pupils per single-family dwelling unit.
Woodside Village Master Plan Text
Amendment No. 10
Page 3 of 3
.29 pupils per multi -family dwelling unit.
The District breakdown of pupils by school level is as follows:
K - 6 equals 55% 7 - 8 equals 15% 9 - 12 equals 30%
Reevaluation of student yield for Woodside Village may be necessary from time to tine, thereby
isElementary
adequate number of school sites for the total community development.
Elementary schools have been designated in generalized locations and do not depict specific sites.
These general locations are related to the general land use pattern and student population yield of
the plan. Based on projections by the District, there is no need for a junior High School or high
School site on the West Covina portion of Woodside Village. These services will be provided by
schools in the near vicinity.
2. Parks:
The parks system proposed for Woodside Village reflects the desires of the City of West Covina.
Neighborhood parks located at sites directly adjacent to elementary school sites shall be a
minimum of five (5) net usable acres. If a neighborhood park site is not adjacent to a school site,
the neighborhood park site shall be a minimum of eight (8) net usable acres.
The exact location of all neighborhood park sites shall be determined at the time of development
plan approval. If, upon subnuttal of a development plan, a park site is shifted to a different density
segment than is shown on the Master Plan map, then the total number of allowable units within the
density segments shall prevail.
Two community parks are designated for the West Covina portion of Woodside Village. One
community park is located in the central portion of the property west of Nogales Street, a portion
of a second community park is located north of the intersection of Lark Ellen Avenue and Pass
and Covina Road.
The West Covina General Plan depicts regional parks directly north of, and adjacent to, Woodside
Village. Reflecting a desire to effect maximum utilization of the tax dollars, duplicate regional
parks have not been proposed for Woodside Village.
The park areas and approximate acreages as shown on the Master Plan and to be dedicated to the
City of West Covina are sufficient to cover the needs of the residents of Woodside Village and
meet the desires and requirements of the City of West Covina. Therefore, in consideration for
such dedications and improvements made thereon by consideration for such dedications and
improvements made thereon by the owner, no additional requirements for park lands will be made
in connection with the approval of any precise Development Plan.
3. Library and Fire Station:
The site for a library and a fire station has been acquired by the City of West Covina in the area
west of Azusa and north of Amar.
4. Churches:
Church sites are an integral part of the Woodside Village total community picture, and will be
developed at locations approved as part of the Tentative Tract Map and Development Plan
procedure under the Development Standards of the N-C (Neighborhood Commercial) Zone.
These sites will be related through the circulation system and designed as an integral part of the
neighborhoods of Woodside Village.

VIL SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The following Site Development Standards are intended to be applied to all of the land uses
developed in West Covina portion of Woodside Village. It is understood that new land use
concepts may evolve, subsequent to the adoption of this Planned Community Ordinance, which
may warrant Standards not contemplated at the time this Ordinance was prepared and adopted.
Amendments, additions, or deletions to these Standards may be made, subject to the procedures
defined in the General Laws of the State of California and the City of West Covina.
A specific Development Plan and Tentative Tract Map following the site Standards for a
conventional subdivision or custom lost development may be submitted and approved by the
Planning Commission provided that such subdivision or custom lot development would not be
materially detrimental to the surrounding developments.
A. Detached, Single Family Dwelling Units:
1. Yards and Building Setbacks
Front: A ten (10) foot minimum from property line for the first story of the main
building. Twenty-two (22) feet minimum from property line for straight -in
garages. When the first story of an existing single family structure is built
within fifteen (15) feet or less of the front yard property line, the front yard
setback of any future second story addition or expansion shall be a minimum of
fifteen (15) feet.
Second story setbacks shall also apply to any portion of the first story consisting
of unused air space such as an open beam or vaulted ceiling area (excluding roof
and attic space) measuring twelve feet above the finished floor of the first story.
The yard area between the property line and any wall in the front yard shall be
landscaped and maintained as a Condition of use by the homeowner.
Rear: Ten (10) foot minimum to property line, provided there is a minimum of
twenty-five (25) feet between opposing structures. The Planning Commission
may approve a five (5) foot minimum to property line for individual lots where
topography, odd shaped lots, structures, or subdivision design make compliance
with the ten (10) foot minimum impractical. Detached garages and other
accessory structures are allowable intrusions into the required rear yard.
Side: Five (5) foot minimum to property line, for the first story of the main building,
provided there is a ten (10) foot minimum between opposing structures with the
exception that patio covers may be permitted within three (3) feet of opposing
structures. When the first story of an existing single family structure is built
within ten (10) feet or less of the side property line, the side yard or any future
second story addition or expansion shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet.
Said side yard second story setback shall not be required for zero lot
developments or along any side yard which abuts property zoned for or
developed with a nonresidential use (e.g. schools and parks) or public right-of-
way, flood control channel, or utility easement upon which no residential
structures may be developed,
Additionally, said second story setback shall not be required if no portion of a
building or structure (existing or proposed) encroaches through a plane projected
from the angles indicated below as measured at a point ten (10) feet above the
finished grade level along the side property line toward the opposing side
• property line:

As used in this section, second story setback shall also apply to any portion of
the first story consisting of unused air space such as an open beam or vaulted
ceiling area (excluding roof and attic space) and measuring twelve feet above
the finished floor of the first story.
• Eaves and other architectural projections may intrude into the side yard up to the
maximum, as specified by the Uniform Building Code.
Reversed corner lots shall have a street side yard equal to one-half the front yard
distance of the lot to the back and reversed corner lot.
The yard area between the property line and any wall in the side yard shall be
landscaped and maintained as a condition of use by the homeowner.
The Planning Division has made the following interpretations re: side yard setbacks in Woodside
Village:
With respect to patio covers, said setback will be measured from the supporting posts with an eave
overhang into said side yard as specified by the Uniform Building Code.
The requirement for ten (10) feet between structures will not be required in the following
situations:
a: In situations (such as Development Plan No. 1) where 5-foot easements have
been provided for open space use by adjoining residents, a 3-foot setback shall
be allowed between structures and the side yard property line. In this situation,
the setback shall be measured from the eaves and not the supporting posts for
patio covers. Supporting posts shall not be allowed in the easement. All other
structures shall be allowed to project up to two (2) feet into the easement
notwithstanding other provisions of the Woodside Village Master Plan Text
(mechanical equipment location. etc.)
b. In the situation of attached residences, there is no setback requirement for
interior units. However, the location of patio covers or room addition on the
side yard property line will be subject to fire wall requirements as required by
the Uniform Building Code. Patio covers or room additions may be located a
minimum of three feet from the side property line without a fire wall so long as
the eave projection is a m nimum of two feet from said property line.
A ten (10) foot minimum will still be required between structures and side
property line from unattached walls or street side yards.
2. Walls, Fences, or Hedges:
Walls, fences, or hedges shall be regulated as are walls and fences on lots zoned
for single-family use elsewhere in the city.

As these figures reflect the maximum allowable unit sizes, they shall not be
regarded as an automatic right. Each proposal shall be reviewed on a case by
case basis and requires approval of the Planning Director subject to the
following findings:
a) The lot and proposed development is consistent with the General Plan,
Zoning, and meets all other applicable code requirements.
b) The development utilizes building materials, color schemes and a roof style
which blend with the existing structure, if any, and results in a development
which is harmonious in scale and mass with the surrounding residences.
