Development Overlay Zone
The PDO Zone may be used in combination with any residential, commercial, or industrial zone, subject to the requirements of this Chapter.
Uses allowed in a PDO Zone shall be as set forth below. Any use which is a conditional use in the underlying zone shall be subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit as set forth in CZC 12.21.100.
Variations from applicable land use development standards and requirements set forth in the General Plan, Zoning Code, Subdivision Ordinance, or Municipal Code may be approved by the City Council as part of a legislative land use decision to rezone property to the Planned Development Overlay Zone or in an associated development agreement as provided in Section 12.41.074. Variations from development standards may include, but are not limited to, building heights, parking requirements, setbacks, landscaping, density, and permitted or conditional uses. Any variations approved as part of a rezone to the Planned Development Overlay Zone must be specifically described in the rezone ordinance or associated development agreement with reference to subject matter and code reference and shall not be assumed by omission or conflict with associated development plans or drawings. If a variation is not specifically described as required herein, it shall not be considered an approved or authorized variation from City standards and requirements. The City Council is not authorized to approve as part of a Planned Development Overlay any variations from applicable State law, Construction Codes, or other public health and safety regulations. Variations from applicable land use development standards considered as part of a legislative land use decision to rezone property to the Planned Development Overlay Zone or in an associated development agreement shall be within the City’s sole discretion. The decision to amend or enter into a development agreement is also within the City’s sole discretion.
The City is authorized by State law to enter into a development agreement with the developer or property owner of a development project containing any term the City considers necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purpose of this Zoning Code and the Utah Land Use Development and Management Act, as more particularly provided in Utah Code § 10-9a-532. In accordance with this authority, the City may require the developer or property owner of a planned development project to enter into a development agreement with the City as a condition of the legislative approval of a Planned Development Overlay Zone. Any development agreement entered into in association with a planned development under the Planned Development Overlay Zone that allows a use or development of land that applicable land use regulations would otherwise prohibit must be approved in accordance with the same procedures for enacting a land use regulation under Utah Code § 10-9a-502, including review and recommendation from the Planning Commission and a public hearing. Any development agreement for a Planned Development Overlay Zone may not limit the City’s authority in the future to enact a land use regulation or to take any action allowed under Utah Code § 10-8-84 regarding public health and safety. Any development agreement for a Planned Development Overlay Zone shall contain a provision limiting the City’s liability to specific performance. This Section shall apply to any new development agreement entered into by the City in association with a planned development in a Planned Development Overlay Zone and to any amendment of any existing development agreement previously entered into by the City in association with a planned development in a Planned Development Overlay Zone.
The development standards set forth in this Section shall apply to any planned development and shall prevail over any contrary base zone standards established in this Title.
