The planned residential development district is intended to provide a mechanism by which property may be developed with a variety of housing types in a flexible manner. The total project, rather than a single lot, is the unit into which the regulations are applied. The planned development allows for placement of buildings on land without adherence to the conventional lot-by-lot approach common to traditional subdivisions. The goal is a development in which buildings, land use, transportation facilities, utility systems and open spaces are integrated through an overall design. In case of ambiguity, the requirements below should be interpreted and applied with this introductory purpose statement in mind.

1.

Minimum Parcel Size. A planned residential development district project shall contain a minimum of ten (10) contiguous acres of land, as an assemblage or single parcel, to qualify for rezoning to the PRD and in order to submit a site plan or a subdivision plat for a development under the PRD regulations.

2.

Site Requirements.

a.

Residential Uses. Only residential uses are permitted. Residential uses may comprise a mix of residential types (single, two-family and multi-family) and configurations (detached, semi-detached, and attached).

b.

Density. The overall density of units shall not exceed six (6) units per acre.

c.

Setback Requirements.

1.

There are no front yard setbacks required except for transition lots and buildings as outlined in Section Z-308.2.c.4.

2.

There are no side yard setbacks required except for transition lots and buildings as outlined in Section Z-308.2.c.4.

3.

A project perimeter setback is required for all lots and buildings located along the external perimeter of a PRD project:

Single-family structures must meet a perimeter setback of twenty-five (25) feet.

Multifamily structures must meet a perimeter setback of thirty-five (35) feet.

4.

The Planning Commission shall approve specific front and side yard setbacks for all transition lots and buildings within the PRD which are designed or constructed on property adjacent to property outside of the PRD. Transition lots or buildings are those located either:

a.

Along a public street adjacent to properties outside of the PRD project; or

b.

Adjacent to property outside the PRD project at the extension of a public or private street.

The setbacks for lots or buildings located at the point of transition shall be carefully considered by the Planning Commission to ensure compatibility with existing development adjacent to the PRD. The approved setbacks shall be noted on the site plan and/or subdivision plat.

d.

Multifamily Requirements. The following multifamily restrictions shall apply to multifamily structures in a PRD when adjacent to property zoned R-M, R-1A, R-1B, R-2, PRD, or residentially zoned property in Sullivan County.

1.

The maximum width of any multifamily building located along the external periphery of the PRD project is eighty (80) feet and may contain no more than four (4) dwelling units.

2.

A multifamily building located internal to the PRD development may contain no more than six (6) dwelling units within one (1) building.

3.

The maximum height for any multifamily building is thirty-five (35) feet.

e.

Driveways. The minimum length of any driveway with connection to a public or private street is twenty (20) feet.

f.

Parking. Each dwelling unit shall require two (2) parking spaces. Parking spaces may be provided in garages or common parking lots.

g.

Open Space and Community Facilities. Projects containing multifamily units must provide twenty (20) percent of the acreage as usable open space. Community facilities, including clubhouses, swimming pools, and recreational facilities, must be located internal to the development.

h.

Utilities. Structures within the planned residential development shall be connected to public water and sewer lines. All utility lines shall be placed underground, except for major electrical transmission lines.

i.

Access. A traffic and pedestrian circulation system shall be designed so as to provide for safe and convenient access to dwelling units, open space, community facilities and other nonresidential areas in the planned residential development. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to permit smooth traffic flow and minimum hazards to vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic. The internal circulation system shall be adequate for vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian movement and should discourage through traffic. Adequate access and circulation for emergency and service vehicles shall be provided.

3.

Preapplication conference. Prior to the formal submission of a proposed site plan, the developer or developer representative is encouraged to meet with the city manager or his designee to discuss the project and review concept sketches of the proposed development.

4.

Required Submittals. A site plan, prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 10, or a subdivision plat, prepared in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, whichever is applicable, must be submitted to the Planning Commission. The site plan or subdivision plat shall contain sufficient information to satisfy that conformance to the allowable land use percentages are achieved.

5.

Procedure for staged development of planned residential development. Planned residential developments may be developed in stages, sections, or phases provided that applicable conditions placed on the project by the Planning Commission are met and further provided that any staged sectional or phased development is part of an overall approved site plan or subdivision plat for the entire planned residential development:

6.

Review, approval, and amendment of planned residential development.

a.

Site plans and/or subdivision plats for planned residential developments shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.

b.

Following approval of the planned residential development, no building or structure shall be erected or building permit issued nor any lots sold from any such plat nor any final plan recorded except in conformity with the approved plan of development.

c.

A site plan and/or subdivision plat for a planned residential development may be amended upon approval by the Planning Commission.

7.

Open space management, ownership and termination.

a.

All common open space, properties, and facilities shall be preserved for their intended purposes as expressed in the approved site plan or subdivision plat.

b.

The developer shall provide for the establishment of a homeowner's association or nonprofit corporation to ensure the maintenance of all common open space, properties, and facilities.

c.

All open spaces in common ownership shall continue to conform to their intended uses and remain as expressed in the site plan or subdivision plat through the inclusion in all legal instruments to ensure that the common open space is permanently preserved according to the site plan. The deed covenants or restrictions established to govern and maintain common open spaces as well as any public or private recreational facilities shall run with the land and shall be for the benefit of present as well as future property owners, and shall contain a prohibition against partition.

d.

All common open space, properties and facilities shall be identified and completed by project phasing, if applicable. Improvements to such areas must be completed before building permits are issued for the next phase of the development.

e.

The unit owner's association must be organized no later than the date the first unit in the condominium is conveyed.

f.

The Planned Residential Ordinance is subject to the mandatory provision of the Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008.

A.

Purpose and Applicability. The Residential Office District is intended to foster adaptive reuse of structures within existing residential neighborhoods in a manner which clearly maintains the residential character of the neighborhood. The zoning district will allow specific uses that are similar to permitted home occupations, as well as professional offices, independent artist related uses, and limited retail, food, and personal services uses. The Residential Office District is to be utilized in areas that are undergoing land use transition and are located between non-residential uses and existing residential neighborhoods in areas that immediately abut either arterial thoroughfares or non-residential commercial or office land uses. The neighborhood's residential character and scale is to be maintained through design elements and land use requirements, such as parking in the rear yard, screening between business and residential use areas, shared parking and driveway and alley access, and the adaptive reuse and retrofit of existing residential structures.
