The purpose of this district is to accommodate planned associations of uses developed as integral land use units such as industrial parks or industrial districts, office, commercial or service centers, shipping centers, residential developments of multiple or mixed housing, or any appropriate combination of uses which may be planned, developed and operated as integral land use units either by a single owner or combination of owners.

(a)

Application. An application for a Planned Development District may be made to the City Plan Commission in the same manner that an application for any amendment to the zoning ordinance is made. Applications for approval of a Planned Development District shall be processed according to the procedure specified in Section 19 and a site plane and related data shall be submitted for approval in accordance with the requirements of [subsections] 11-280(d) and (e).

The City Council, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected and after recommendation by the City Plan Commission, may authorize the creation of a Planned Development District on sites of five (5) acres or more to accommodate various types of developments and combinations of developments.

(b)

Uses permitted. A Planned Development District may be approved for any use or combination of uses listed in the Use Schedule 10-200, shown under PD District. The uses permitted in any specific Planned Development District shall be enumerated in the ordinance establishing such district.

(c)

Height, floor-area ratio, density, and parking and loading standards. The maximum height, lot width, lot depth, floor-area ratio and lot area, and the minimum off-street parking and loading requirements for uses proposed shall be established for each Planned Development District, and such standards and requirements shall comply with or be more restrictive than the standards established in the following districts for the specified type uses:

(d)

Procedure for establishing standards. In approving the development plan and the ordinance establishing the Planned Development District, the City Council shall, after recommendation by the City Plan Commission, specify such maximum height, floor-area ratio, density and minimum off-street parking and loading standards within the limits of those specified in the districts listed for the specific uses involved as is appropriate for the development. The Council shall, after receiving the recommendation of the City Plan Commission, establish the standards for yards, signs, building spacing, site coverage, access, screening walls or landscaping, building area, open space, pedestrian ways, public or private streets and alleys to be observed in a Planned Development District and such standards shall be specified in the ordinance establishing the district.

(e)

Development schedule. An application for a Planned Development District shall, if the applicant desires or the City Plan Commission or City Council requires, be accompanied by a development schedule indicating the appropriate date on which construction is expected to begin and the rate of anticipated development to completion. The development schedule, if adopted and approved by the City Council, shall become part of the development plan and shall be adhered to by the owner, developer and his successors in interest.

(1)

Annually, where a development schedule has been required, the Building Inspector shall report to the City Plan Commission the actual development accomplished in the various Planned Development Districts as compared with the development schedule.

(2)

The City Plan Commission may, if in its opinion the owner or owners of property are failing or have failed to meet the approved schedule, initiate proceedings under Section 19 to amend the Zoning District Map or the Planned Development District by removing all or part of the Planned Development District from the Zoning District Map and placing the area involved in another appropriate zoning district. Upon the recommendation of the City Plan Commission and for good cause shown by the owner and developer, the City Council may also extend the development schedule or adopt such new development schedule as may be indicated by the facts and conditions of the case.

(f)

Development plan required. An application for a Planned Development District shall include and be accompanied by a development plan which shall become a part of the amending ordinance and shall be referenced on the Zoning District Map. Changes in the development plan shall be considered the same as changes in the Zoning District Map and shall be processed as required in Section 19, except that changes of detail which do not alter the basic relationship of the proposed development to adjacent property and which do not alter the uses permitted or increase the density, floor-area ratio, height or coverage of the site, or which do not decrease the off-street parking ratio, or reduce the yards provided at the boundary of the site as indicated on the approved development plan may be authorized by the Director of Planning and Zoning. Any applicant may appeal the decision of the Director of Planning and Zoning to the City Plan Commission for review and decision as to whether an amendment to the Planned Development District ordinance shall be required.

(1)

The Development Plan Shall Include:

a.

A scale drawing showing any proposed public or private streets and alleys; building sites or building lots; any areas proposed for education or reserved as parks, parkways, playgrounds, utility and garbage easements, school sites, street widening, street changes; the points of ingress and egress form existing public streets on an accurate survey of the boundary of tract and topography with a contour interval of not less than five (5) feet, or spot grades where the relief is limited.

b.

Where multiple types of land use are proposed, a land use plan delineating the specific areas to be devoted to various uses shall be required.

c.

Where building complexes are proposed, a plot plan showing the location of building site and the minimum distance between building sites and between building sites and the property line, street line and/or alley line shall be submitted. For buildings more than one (1) story in height, except single family and two family residences, elevations and/or perspective drawings may be required in order that the relationship of the buildings sites to adjacent property may be determined. Such drawings need only indicate the height, number of floors and exposures for access, light and air.

d.

A plan indicating the arrangement and provision of off-street parking and off-street loading where required. Such a plan may be presented as a ratio of off-street parking and off-street loading area to building area when accompanied by a typical example indicating the feasibility of the arrangement proposed and when the areas where the example would be applied are dimensioned on the drawing of the entire site.

e.

A designation of the maximum building coverage of the site shall be indicated upon the site plan.

f.

Screening and landscaping plan shall be required where such treatment is essential to the proper arrangements of the development in relation to adjacent property. Such plan shall, when required, include screening walls, ornamental planting, playgrounds, wooded areas to be retained, lawns and gardens if such are determined to be necessary by the City Council.

g.

Any or all of the required features may be incorporated on a single drawing if such drawing is clear and capable of evaluation by the Director of Planning and Zoning and interpretation by the Building Inspector.

Every Planned Development District approved under the provisions of this ordinance shall be considered as an amendment to the zoning ordinance as applicable to the property involved. In carrying out the development of a Planned Development District, the development conditions and the development schedule, if required, shall be complied with and such conditions as are specified for the development of a Planned Development shall not be construed as conditions precedent to the approval of the zoning amendment, but shall be construed as conditions precedent to the granting of a certificate of occupancy and compliance as required by Section 17.
