The Town adopts by reference as a primary code the Interchange Overlay Development Standards dated April 21, 2010, published by the Department of Development Services.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1, 2012)

The purpose of this Chapter is to:

A.

Enable the implementation of principles and policies outlined in the Town's 2020 Comprehensive Master Plan concerning development in designated areas in the vicinity of Interstate interchanges.

B.

Establish architectural, landscaping, design, building, use and site development regulations that encourage compatible land uses and ensure high quality development with safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular access.

C.

Encourage sustainable quality development through the use of set design and site techniques while continuing to provide a wide range of economic development opportunities.

D.

Encourage mixed-use residential, office, commercial, industrial and other compatible uses.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1, 2012)

This Chapter prescribes the process and approval criteria by which properties may obtain the right to develop under the IO zoning classification. Upon obtaining IO approval and execution and recordation of the applicable zoning documents and development agreement, the underlying zoning classification is thereafter extinguished and the zoning of the property is governed exclusively by the new IO zoning and development regulations and development agreement. Unless a landowner seeks and obtains such approval and recordation under this Chapter, development of such property shall be governed by the underlying zoning classification and development agreement, and, in such event, this Chapter shall have no effect on development of such property.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1, 2012)

Property obtains IO classification through approval of an IO Planned Development (PD). Except as expressly modified by this Chapter, the process and criteria for application, review and approval of an IO PD is governed by Chapter 17.34 of this Title applicable to PD zoning. Accordingly, a landowner must first seek and obtain Town Council approval of a IO PD Plan and PD zoning regulations to establish the IO classification for the property.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1, 2012)

A.

All provisions of the CRMC apply to property developed under an IO PD, including subdivision and construction, except as expressly modified in this Chapter, or as otherwise stated in this CRMC. In the event of a conflict between this Chapter and other provisions of this CRMC, this Chapter shall govern and control and to that extent, this Chapter constitutes an amendment to this CRMC.

B.

The IO Development Standards govern and control over any conflicting provisions of the Title 15, CRMC and the Technical Manuals. Except when so preempted, the provisions of Title 15 and the Technical Manuals shall be applicable to construction within the IO PD.

C.

IO regulations do not apply to public facilities constructed or developed by the Town.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1)

The IO is intended to encourage mixed-use within the same structure or block and/or high intensity commercial development. Accordingly, upon recordation of an approved IO PD:

A.

A structure or development within an IO PD that interfaces with another structure or development within the IO PD shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Chapter 17.50; however such regulations shall be applied to structures or development within the IO PD which interface with structures or development outside the IO PD.

B.

As provided in Section 17.48.070, Skyline/Ridgeline Protection Regulations, does not apply to a property development within an IO PD.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1)

A.

All development within the IO PD shall comply with the IODS, whether express reference to such standards is made within the IO PD documents and IO PD zoning regulations.

B.

The Director of Development Services may grant a variance from the IODS upon a finding that:

1.

Where, by reason of exceptional shape or topography of a lot, or other exceptional situation or condition of the building or land, practical difficulty or undue hardship, application of the IOZDS creates an undue hardship or impracticality; and

2.

The variance request allows the project to achieve the main objectives of the IODS.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1)

The maximum building height within an IO PD is six stories, or 90-feet, unless a greater height is authorized through the IO PD.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1)

The total open space requirement within an IO PD is 15%. The intent is to secure large areas of open space within the IO PD while recognizing the Town's 2020 Comprehensive Plan's development concepts for these areas.
