Analysis and Concerns
Selva Marina 10-B PUD
Approved in 1978.
Covenants and Restrictions used as the governing text for the PUD.
Covenants and Restrictions were not always recognized by the City as the governing texts of the PUDs and standard City zoning was applied.
Planning staff is working to create a new zoning district for this area.
