17.26 - PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. (Rep. & recr. #07-19)

The Planned Development (PD) is a concept which encourages and permits variation in developments by allowing deviation in lot size, bulk or type of dwelling, density, lot coverage, types of land uses, and open space from that required in any one district covered in this chapter. A PD is any development to be constructed by a person, group of persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations, or any other legal entity having legal title or interest in the property and maintained by subsequent owners; located on a single tract; planned as an entity and therefore acceptable for development and regulation as one land use.

(1)

PURPOSE. A Planned Development is a conditional use permit process established for the following purposes:

(a)

Provide for concurrent processing and combining review and approval to simplify and shorten the development review process;

(b)

Provide for the orderly and functional arrangement of land uses and buildings;

(c)

Permit flexibility in site design, variety in development and mixed-use development;

(d)

Encourage well-planned neighborhoods through creative and imaginative planning;

(e)

Provide savings in infrastructure installation costs and energy use through the clustering of dwellings;

(f)

Create more functional active and passive open space areas within new development;

(g)

Achieve beneficial land use relationships with nearby areas;

(h)

Encourage development to be compatible with environmentally sensitive areas;

(i)

Preserve areas of natural or manmade scenic beauty and protect sites of historical or other commonly held values.

(j)

Provide for mixed-use development to allow locating stores, offices, restaurants, residences, public services, entertainment, workplaces and recreation spaces together or within walking distance of each other which promotes:

Independence of movement, especially for the young, disabled and the elderly who can conveniently walk, cycle, or ride transit or locomotive aid;

Living in close proximity to most daily living activities or needs;

Safety through around-the-clock presence of people;

Reduction in automobile use and parking, especially for shorter trips;

Support for businesses and their employees, through nearby services and amenities;

Support for those who work at home, through nearby services and amenities; and

A variety of housing choices, so that the young and old, singles and families, and those of varying economic or physical ability may find places to live.

(k)

Provide for traditional neighborhood development.

(2)

DEFINITIONS. In addition to the definitions listed in §17.02 of this chapter, for the purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the meaning stated below:

(a)

Common Open Space. All land which is intended and reserved for the common use and enjoyment of the residents, tenants or occupants of the development.

(b)

Commercial and Industrial Planned Development. A Planned Development within which the predominant land uses are commercial, institutional and/or industrial. In general, at least 90 percent of the project area is in commercial, institutional and/or industrial uses. This type of Planned Development can include office, business or industrial parks, research and technology parks, and institutional, educational or medical campuses. Uses must complement each other and be harmoniously incorporated into the unitary design of the Commercial and Industrial Planned Development.

(c)

Developable Land. Land which is not restricted by regulations or natural limitations (such as floodplains, steep slopes, high groundwater, or other factors) from being developed.

(d)

Mixed-Use Planned Development. A Planned Development within which the types of land uses are mixed, there may be uses granted that are not normally permitted in an underlying district, there may be no discernible predominant type of land use, and individual buildings may be occupied by more than one type of land use.

(e)

Owner. A person, group of persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations, or any other legal entity having legal title or interest in the property subject to these PD regulations.

(f)

PD Perimeter. An area of land lying immediately within the perimeter of a PD where lot sizes, housing types, types of land uses, setbacks, lot dimensions and building heights must be planned or designed to mitigate conflicts with existing or planned land uses which are immediately outside the PD. The existence and exact location of the PD perimeter shall be determined by the Plan Commission.

(g)

Planned Development (PD). A land development project comprehensively planned as an entity through a unitary General Development Plan, which permits flexibility in building siting, mixture of housing types and land uses, usable open spaces, and the preservation of significant natural features.

(h)

Project Density. The number of dwelling units per acre of developable land, excluding existing or planned dedicated rights-of-way, for a PD established in subsection (5) below.

(i)

Residential Planned Development. A Planned Development within which the predominant land uses are residential. In general, at least 85 percent of the project area is in residential uses. Nonresidential uses must complement residential uses or be harmoniously incorporated into the unitary design of the Residential Planned Development.

(j)

Underlying Zoning District. The zoning classification attached to a given area of land that establishes the permitted and conditional uses to which said land area can legally be put. Examples of underlying zoning districts include R-1A, R-2, C-1, I-1, etc.

(3)

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a)

The Planned Development (PD) shall be applied as conditional use permit. When applied to a specific geographic area, the PD shall have the effect of allowing development to be designed, reviewed, approved, constructed and managed according to the provisions of this chapter, rather than as required by the underlying zoning district. However, the underlying zoning district shall prevail in determining permitted and conditional uses of land within the PD as well as the maximum permitted project density or intensity of land use, except as otherwise provided herein. The applicant may petition for the rezoning of land parcels within the PD project area with the PD application. Any rezoning requires Common Council approval after recommendation of the Plan Commission pursuant to §17.46 of this chapter.

(b)

When the Planned Development has been applied to a specific geographic area with the establishment of a Final Development Plan, the zoning classification or classifications of the land included within the PD shall thereafter signify this by the addition of a "PD" to said zoning classifications, such as "R-1APD", "C-2PD", or "I-1PD".

(c)

The Planned Development process shall be required for the following development applications:

Any development where variations in lot sizes, dimensional standards, clustering or more than one principal building on one lot, provisions for common open space, or other design considerations which are not normally allowed under standard zoning districts and subdivision provisions are desired.

Any development where a mix of land uses not normally found in a single zoning district is proposed.

Any single-family dwelling, two-family dwelling or multifamily dwelling residential development or any commercial or industrial development involving a site 40 acres or larger.

Exceptions to these provisions that require approval through the PD process may be allowed by the Plan Commission if it is found that requiring such review will not serve to meet the purpose of this chapter. An example of such an exception would be applications involving only a single step review process.

(d)

The owner of a property under 40 acres can request a property be developed under the PD process.

(e)

Planned developments that require the subdivision of land shall have applications for each processed concurrently. A General Development Plan shall act as a preliminary plat for concurrent processing. In no instance shall the platting requirements for subdivisions, including fees, as set forth in State law and Chapter 18 of the Municipal Code, be waived as a result of this concurrent processing provision.

It is the intent of this provision that if plat review is required under Chapter 18 of the Municipal Code, that it be accomplished simultaneously with the review of the General Development Plan under this chapter.

For such simultaneous review, the General Development Plan shall be submitted in a form that is in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 18 of the Municipal Code relative to preliminary plats, where applicable.

(f)

An application for a Planned Development may be accompanied by all other discretionary requests, such as rezoning and conditional uses required by the underlying zoning, which may relate to the proposal.

The Plan Commission may combine separate permit applications into one application for the convenience of the applicant as well as the City. Planned development applications, conditional use permits required by the underlying zoning, and rezonings may be merged into one PD application for processing and consideration under the PD process. The standards set forth in this chapter shall be used to evaluate the merits of the combined permits. If the combining of permits is accepted by the Plan Commission, the fees for rezoning and conditional use permits shall be waived and fees for only the PD conditional use permit application are required.

The Plan Commission may deny any part of the combined request if they find it does not comply with the purpose or standards of this chapter.

(g)

Dedication, or offers to dedicate, interest in real property for specific public purposes shall be shown on the General Development Plan. Such dedications may be made a condition of approval of a Planned Development if the Plan Commission finds that:

Such additional facilities would serve the public interest in such location;

Such facilities would be in accord with the comprehensive plan or component thereof; and

The amount and location of land to be dedicated bears a reasonable relationship to the demand generated by the proposed development.

Final approval and acceptance of such dedications shall be at the discretion of the Common Council.

(h)

Improvements, consistent with City standards or as shown on the comprehensive plan or component thereof, may be required as a condition of approval of a Planned Development. Improvements may include, but are not limited to, paving, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bikeways, water lines, sewer lines, drainage works, bus turnouts, streetlights, recreational facilities and landscaping. Improvement requirements for multiphased projects shall be applied to each Final Development Plan as finalized and shall not consider future phases.

(i)

Legal origination and organizational instruments, bylaws and management plans for proposed homeowner's, business or condominium associations shall be provided with the General Development Plan.

(4)

PARCEL SIZE. The minimum site area for a Planned Development shall be 10 contiguous acres. This requirement may be waived on a case-by-case basis by the Plan Commission if the applicant can clearly demonstrate that the proposed PD can meet the purpose of this section. The applicant can request Planned Development review and approval for developments on sites smaller than 10 acres.

(5)

OWNERSHIP. A tract of land to be developed as a Planned Development shall be under the control of:

(a)

A single landowner; or

(b)

A group of landowners, acting through a partnership, firm, limited liability company, corporation, or any other legal entity having legal title or interest in the property subject to Planned Development, where each owner agrees in advance to be bound by the conditions and regulations which will be effective within the district and to record such covenants, easements, and other provisions with the County Register of Deeds.

(6)

PROCESS DESCRIPTION. An application for a Planned Development shall be initiated by the filing for a Planned Development conditional use permit. Said application shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Plan Commission on forms provided for this purpose, and shall be accompanied by all information requested on said application and indicated herein. See subsection (7). A Planned Development shall be processed in 3 stages: A) preapplication conference; B) General Development Plan; and C) Final Development Plan as follows:

(a)

Preapplication Conference. The purpose of the preapplication conference is to provide two-way communication between the prospective developer and the appropriate City staff regarding the legal, planning, design and engineering aspects of the potential development. Accordingly, prospective developers shall submit sketches and other pertinent information to the planning department for review and discussion by other City departments prior to submittal of an application for a PD conditional use and a General Development Plan. Sketches shall include the entire area of the intended PD, even if the PD is to be developed in phases. A preapplication conference review shall consider: success in achieving the purposes of the PD ordinances; adequacy of public and private services and facilities; ability to conform to all applicable codes and ordinances; utilization of commonly accepted principles of good site planning; and consistency with the comprehensive plan. Submittal requirements for the General Development Plan will be reviewed as part of the preapplication conference. A submittal item may be waived as part of General Development Plan review if determined to be not needed, already known or needed at a future stage. The prospective developer shall be provided with a written copy of the comments and waived submittal items made at such meeting. Applicants shall be advised to take these comments into account in preparation of more detailed plans for the PD. Any statement made by either the City staff or the applicant concerning potential disposition of a PD application or the final form of the development shall not be legally binding.

(b)

General Development Plan. Upon completion of the preapplication conference, an application may be filed for a General Development Plan. See subsection (7). The purpose of the General Development Plan is to establish the framework for future development of the PD in terms of timing, overall building layout and site design, land uses, density or intensity of development, traffic circulation/access, off-street parking, storm drainage, general utility locations, active and passive open space, location and management of common areas, general landscaping treatment and similar development components. The General Development Plan shall include the entire area of the intended PD even if the PD is comprised of several individual underlying zoning districts and/or is to be developed in stages. All subsequent Final Development Plans for such area shall be in conformance with the approved General Development Plan. The General Development Plan may be amended using the same procedure for the initial General Development Plan approval. Submittal requirements for a General Development Plan shall include all items indicated in subsection (7)(c)1. through 16. Upon receipt of all the required submittal items for the General Development Plan, and an application for a PD, the Secretary of the Plan Commission shall coordinate with other departments of the City to review the plan and formulate a recommendation to the Plan Commission. At such time, the Secretary of the Plan Commission shall give notice and set up public hearings before the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission shall review the proposed General Development Plan in accordance with the review criteria set forth in this chapter. It shall also consider the recommendations of the City staff and other comments received. The Plan Commission shall make a determination for approval, approval with conditions, or denial. If, after approval of the General Development Plan, any portion or phase of the PD development schedule established under this section is not met, the Plan Commission may initiate appropriate action to rezone the property which has not been developed in accordance with such development schedule to an appropriate zoning district or districts compatible with the surrounding area.

(c)

Final Development Plan. Following approval of a General Development Plan, a Final Development Plan for all or a portion of the PD shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Plan Commission for review and approval. In the case of a single phase PD, the applicant may combine the General Development Plan and Final Development Plan stages of the review process into a single Final Development Plan, in which case review and approval of such plan shall occur using the procedure set forth in subsection (7). The purpose of the Final Development Plan is to finalize the detailed planning, engineering, design, ownership, management, maintenance and timing aspects of the development. For this reason it is anticipated that a Final Development Plan will normally be prepared only for those portions of a PD which are expected to be developed in the immediate future. The Final Development Plan shall be in substantial conformance with the approved General Development Plan. If the City staff or Plan Commission finds that a proposed Final Development Plan substantially differs from the approved General Development Plan, or that such change gives reason to notify and obtain input from affected residents and property owners, the Plan Commission shall require the applicant to submit a proposed amendment to the General Development Plan as set forth in this chapter. Examples of modifications to a PD which shall first require an amendment to the General Development Plan include changes in the general layout and design of the PD, the area encompassed by the PD, the overall density of dwelling units, the number of dwelling units, the major categories of land use, the mix, magnitude and intensity of residential or nonresidential types of land uses, the parking and traffic circulation system, and major features of the common open space areas. No building permits shall be issued for construction within the PD without first obtaining acceptance of a Final Development Plan for that portion of the PD. All grading, construction, landscaping and other activities associated with land development shall be carried out in strict conformance with the approved Final Development Plan. The items required to be submitted with a Final Development Plan are those found in subsection (7)(c)1. through 16. Upon receipt of all the required items for the Final Development Plan, the Secretary of the Plan Commission shall coordinate its review with other City departments for the purpose of reviewing the Final Development Plan for compliance with the approved General Development Plan. If the proposed Final Development Plan is found to meet these criteria, it shall be approved by City staff and development may then commence accordingly. City staff may approve with conditions or require submittal of a modified Final Development Plan if it does not comply with such criteria. Decisions of the City staff with respect to a Final Development Plan may be appealed within 30 days to the Plan Commission which shall have final jurisdiction in the case of appeals. Establishment of a Final Development Plan shall require a "PD" designation be noted on the official zoning map for the geographic area of the Planned Development.

(7)

Traffic flow and safety;

Adequacy of utilities and other public works;

Impact on existing public facilities within the City; and

Potential fiscal impact.

(h)

Approval of the PD Conditional Use Permit and related General Development Plan shall establish the basic right of use for the area in conformity with the General Development Plan as approved. However, prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall provide to the City one true and correct reproducible copy of the General Development Plan for the development or portion thereof and all related materials as approved by the Plan Commission which becomes the Final Development Plan. See subsection (6)(b) and (c).

The Final Development Plan shall consist of final versions of all statements and graphics as required in subsections (6)(b) and (7)(c), and must contain any modifications and/or conditions which were required by the Plan Commission at the time of approval of the PD Conditional Use Permit and General Development Plan. See subsection (6)(c).

When condominiums are proposed, a copy of all condominium instruments as defined and required by Chapter 703, Wis. Stats., shall be submitted with the Final Development Plan.

The Final Development Plan shall be submitted to the City within 6 months of approval of the General Development Plan by the Plan Commission, unless extended by the Plan Commission.

(i)

Fees.

Fees for a PD General Development Plan approval shall be the same as those established for conditional use permits.

(j)

Amendment of the Zoning District Map. Following the submission of the Final Development Plan, the Zoning District Map shall be amended by appropriate symbol (PD) to designate the area covered by the recorded Final Development Plan. Following such action, the zoning and subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the land included in such Final Development Plan shall cease to apply thereto and the recorded Final Development Plan and all related materials shall govern.

(k)

Zoning Administration Permits. The Zoning Administrator may issue permits for site or building construction for that part of the Final Development Plan that has been approved by the Plan Commission. However, the Zoning Administrator shall not issue an occupancy permit for any building or structure shown on the Final Development Plan of any stage of the Planned Development unless the ownership of all planned open spaces, common elements, rights-of-way, easements, public utilities and any other required facilities allocated to that stage of the development schedule have been conveyed to the proper authorities. He shall issue a certificate of occupancy for any completed building or structure located in an area covered by the approved Final Development Plan if the completed building or structure conforms to the requirements of the approved Final Development Plan and all other applicable regulations and ordinances.

(l)

Enforcement.

The developer shall begin construction of the PD within 12 months of the date of the recording of the Final Development Plan. The Plan Commission may grant in writing an extension of this time period of up to 12 months upon demonstration of good cause by the developer. If the developer fails to commence construction of the PD within the specified time, the Plan Commission shall proceed with actions as specified in subsection 3. hereinbelow.

If the PD is to be developed in stages, then the developer must begin the construction of each stage within the time limits specified in the Final Development Plan. Construction in each phase shall include all the elements of that phase specified in the Final Development Plan.

The Plan Commission, or its designee, shall periodically monitor the construction of the PD, with respect to conformance with the Final Development Plan, start of construction and development phasing. If the Plan Commission, or its designee, finds that the developer has failed or is failing to develop the PD in conformance with the Final Development Plan; or that the developer has failed to begin development within the specified time period; or that the developer is not proceeding in accordance with the approved development phasing, with respect to either timing of construction or an approved mix of project elements, then the Plan Commission shall give written notice to the developer to appear before the Commission within 30 days to report on the status of the PD. Upon review of the PD, the Plan Commission may extend the time for start of construction or the length of the time needed to complete a phase, recommend that the developer amend the Final Development Plan subject to the procedures specified in subsection (n), or terminate the project and repeal the PD Conditional Use Permit.

When the Commission deems it necessary to terminate the project and repeal the PD Conditional Use Permit, it shall be subject to the procedures specified in §17.47, Conditional Use, of this chapter. At the time of such change, existing completed or partially completed structures and uses thereon that do not conform to the regulations for the district in which located shall be deemed nonconforming as defined by this chapter.

(m)

Amendments to General Development Plan. Amendments to the General Development Plan involving what are considered by City staff or the Plan Commission to be substantial changes shall require the same procedure and criteria for review and approval as the original General Development Plan. Amendments involving what are considered by City staff or the Plan Commission to be minor and of no substantial negative impact upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or existing dwelling units within the PD may be approved by the Plan Commission without public hearing and notice. The information specified in this chapter under subsections (6)(b), (7)(c) and (8)(a) shall be considered in determining substantial changes.

(n)

Amendments to Final Development Plan.

After approval of the Final Development Plan by the Plan Commission, the developer may seek amendments to the Final Development Plan as recorded, only if difficulties or significant changes in circumstances are encountered in constructing the PD which could not have reasonably been foreseen, such as with terrain or soil conditions or other physical complications, or changing market conditions, new technologies or emerging design ideas.

Minor changes in the location, siting, and height of buildings and structures, or reductions in project density or intensity may be authorized by the Plan Commission without additional public hearings if required by engineering or other circumstances not foreseen at the time the final plan was approved. No change authorized by this subsection may cause any of the following:

A change in the use or character of the development.

An increase in overall coverage of structures.

An increase in the intensity of use.

An increase in the problems of traffic circulation and public utilities.

A reduction in approved open space.

A reduction of off-street parking and loading space.

A reduction in required pavement widths.

All other changes in use, or rearrangement of lots, blocks, and building tracts, or any changes in the provision of common open spaces and changes other than listed above, must be made by the Plan Commission subject to the procedures specified in subsection (7). Such amendments may be made only if they are shown to be required by changes in conditions that have occurred since the Final Development Plan was approved or by changes in community policy.

(o)

Recording; Conditions Run with the Land.

Before a Final Development Plan becomes effective, a document shall be recorded by the applicant within 30 days of approval in the office of the county register of deeds. Said document shall identify the property as being part of a PD which is on file with the Secretary of the Plan Commission. Applicant shall furnish evidence of such recording to the Secretary of the Plan Commission prior to any Final Development Plan approval for multiple phased projects or within 15 days of Final Development Plan approval for single phased projects.

Any conditions attached to a General Development Plan or Final Development Plan shall run with the land and shall not lapse or be waived as the result of any subsequent change in the tenancy or ownership of any or all of said lands. Such conditions shall be deemed to be part of the building permit issued for any use or structure within the PD.

(8)

REVIEW CRITERIA.

(a)

General Development Plan. In reviewing the General Development Plan, the following criteria shall be used and applied to making the determination required in subsection (7)(g) and (h):

Conformance with the applicable provisions of the underlying zoning district, unless modified during the Planned Development process;

Conformance with the provisions of this chapter and other applicable chapters of the Code of Ordinances;

Suitability of the site itself for development as proposed;

Compatibility of the proposed development with adjacent and nearby existing or Planned Development in terms of scale, mass, height, bulk, type of land uses, retained open space, activities, traffic, design, structure placement, accessibility, privacy, views and similar concerns;

Compatibility of the internal components of the proposed development in terms of scale, mass, height, bulk, type of land uses, retained open spaces, activities, traffic, design, structure placement, accessibility, privacy, views and similar concerns;

Utilization of site planning principles common to high quality development;

Conformance with City development and design standards and policies;

Availability, both on and off the site, of adequate public utilities and services, including water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, streets, sidewalks, trails, recreational opportunities, solid waste and recycling facilities, traffic control, fire protection and police protection;

Effective mitigation of any potential negative impacts of the proposed development either on the site itself or off the site;

10.

Adequate provision for preservation and maintenance of areas and/or facilities set aside for common ownership;

11.

Conformance with the comprehensive plan.

(b)

Final Development Plan. In reviewing a Final Development Plan, City staff or the Plan Commission, as appropriate, shall consider the following criteria:

Strict conformance of the Final Development Plan to the adopted General Development Plan, particularly in terms of the general layout and design of the PD; the overall density of dwelling units; the number, type and mix of dwelling units; the major categories of land use types; the mix, integration, magnitude and intensity of types of land uses; the parking and traffic circulation system; and major features of the open space area.

The review criteria set forth in subsection (8)(a).

(9)

STANDARDS AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS. The following provisions shall be applied by the City staff and Plan Commission in their consideration of all Planned Development.

(a)

Permitted Uses. Only those uses which are permitted in the underlying zoning district or districts shall be permitted in a PD, unless provided for herein. However, housing types may vary and residential uses may beat higher densities within portions of a Residential PD or Mixed-Use PD, pursuant to subsection (10)(a) below.

(b)

Conditional Uses. Those uses which are conditional uses in the underlying zoning district or districts shall be allowed in a PD only if a conditional use permit is granted by the Plan Commission. Conditional use permits for underlying conditional uses may be reviewed and approved concurrently as part of the General Development Plan for a PD Conditional Use Permit.

(c)

PD Perimeter. The PD perimeter shall be designed and used in such a way as to harmonize land uses, scale, structure heights, setbacks and mass with existing or planned adjacent or nearby development. Reasonable provisions relating to lighting; landscaping; screening; buffering; activity areas; land uses; setbacks; structure height, width, length, orientation; or similar characteristics of the development may be imposed to assure this compatibility.

A building which abuts on a perimeter street shall have a minimum setback of 30 feet for that yard or yards which abut said street. The minimum required setback shall be increased by one foot for each additional foot by which a structure exceeds 36 feet in height.

Where the Planned Development abuts a single-family residential district, the following regulations shall apply:

A permanent open space at least 25 feet wide shall be provided along the property line and such area shall be maintained in landscaping, and no driveway, off-street parking, accessory buildings or uses shall be permitted in such area. In addition, no intensive recreational use shall be permitted in such area.

In order to allow the maximum amount of flexibility and to encourage creative design, the Plan Commission may permit deviations from the standards set forth by the perimeter requirements provided that the perimeter of the PD be developed for similar uses permitted in the adjoining residential district. In addition, the Plan Commission may permit deviations from the perimeter requirements in Planned Developments that involve the use of an existing building where the setbacks of the building in question may be less than those required in subsection (9)(c)1. and 2.a. above.

Screening at Perimeter of Planned Development. Fences, walls, berms, or vegetative screening shall be provided along the perimeter of the PD where needed to shield residents, tenants, occupants or visitors of the PD from undesirable views, glare, noise, or other off-site conditions or to shield residents or visitors in adjoining residential districts from similar adverse conditions emanating from the PD.

The Plan Commission, after receiving City staff recommendation, may adjust PD Perimeter requirements for Planned Developments if it finds such adjustments will not create substantial negative impact upon adjacent properties and the neighborhood.

(d)

Lot Area, Lot Width, Setbacks.

Lot area, lot width and setback requirements for the PD may vary from the underlying zoning district provided the developer has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission that the proposed design and layout meets the provisions, intent and spirit of the PD purposes. Lot areas, lot widths and setbacks within the PD perimeter shall be designed to be compatible to existing or planned land uses immediately outside the development.

Setbacks from public right-of-way shall be a minimum of 20 feet for local streets, 30 feet for collector streets and may be increased accordingly for setbacks from major or minor arterial streets. Nonresidential and mixed uses within a Mixed-Use PD may be allowed zero setbacks, provided the Plan Commission finds it to be compatible and harmoniously incorporated into the unitary design of the Planned Development and consistent with the purpose of this chapter, as provided in subsection (1).

Perimeter setbacks from the edge of the PD shall be at least the same as is required by the adjacent zoning district.

Dwelling groups, as defined in §17.02 and as provided for in §17.17(3), maybe utilized as a design element of a Planned Development. This section does not supersede subsection (9)(h).

(e)

Design and Dimensional Standards. The standards in the underlying zoning district regulating site coverage, building height, site area and setbacks shall be used as a guide in evaluating a PD, and may exceed the maximum established by the underlying zoning district only upon the expressed request by the applicant and upon approval of such as part of the General Development Plan. Building and structure heights within the PD perimeter shall be no higher than allowed height in adjacent districts.

(f)

Environmental Design. Insofar as possible, a PD shall be designed to preserve existing vegetation, terrain, and other significant natural features. Reasonable provisions relating to the preservation of these features may be imposed to assure preservation of such features.

(g)

Preservation and Maintenance of Common Open Space.

Since the PD concept of development is intended to provide more functional open space and to make more efficient use of land, utilities and other improvements, at least 15 percent of the total gross land area of the PD shall be permanently reserved as "common open space." This provision may be waived by the Plan Commission when it is determined that other options for providing open space are available.

Common open space may be held in common, be privately owned, or dedicated to the public, or any combination thereof. Any land dedicated to the public must be officially accepted by the Common Council before such dedication becomes valid. Land dedicated to the public may be considered part of the required common open space area for the PD.

Common open space areas shall be designed creatively, add to the overall appearance and aesthetic qualities of the PD, and be truly functional in providing for the open space needs of the tenants or occupants of a Commercial or Industrial PD, or the open space and recreational needs of the residents, tenants or occupants of a Residential or Mixed-Use PD.

The following areas shall not be included in calculating the minimum amount of common open space for the PD:

Areas within required front and side yard setbacks, except for Commercial and Industrial PD;

Open spaces less than 30 feet wide, unless approved as a common pathway system, except for Commercial and Industrial PD;

Existing or proposed street rights-of-way;

Parking areas and driveways;

Building sites, unless used for recreational purposes; and

Pre-existing easements, except for Commercial and Industrial PD.

The required common open space may consist of designated floodway, the surface area of water bodies, and/or areas having slopes 20 percent or greater, only if the following findings are made:

Said areas are available by legal right for the use and enjoyment of the residents, tenants or occupants of the PD;

Said areas are functional in providing for the open space and outdoor recreation needs of the residents, tenants or occupants of the PD; and

Said areas are safely and conveniently accessible to the residents, tenants or occupants of the PD.

Common open space areas shall be reasonably and evenly distributed throughout to all properties within the PD in relation to the location of the dwelling units or other buildings they are intended to serve.

The Plan Commission may require a reasonable area of the common open space to be developed and improved for active recreational use commensurate with the anticipated need for such private recreational facilities by the intended future occupants of the dwelling units in the PD.

In the case of a PD being developed in phases, at least 15 percent of the gross area of each phase of the PD (subject to Development Plan approval) shall be reserved for open space at all times, unless the Plan Commission allows such requirement to be waived.

At the time of General Development Plan approval, provision must be demonstrated for the ownership and perpetual care and maintenance of all common open space areas. Areas designated as common open space shall be permanently reserved as such, using appropriate legal instruments as approved by the City Attorney, at the time of General Development Plan approval. Covenants or other legal arrangements shall specify ownership of the common open space, method of maintenance, responsibility for maintenance, maintenance taxes and insurance, compulsory membership and assessment provisions, guarantees that any entity formed to own and maintain the common open space will not be dissolved without the consent of the Plan Commission, and any specifications deemed reasonably necessary by the Plan Commission.

10.

If the common open space contains buildings or other facilities as part of the General Development Plan, the developer shall provide legal arrangements or sureties as a part of the General Development Plan submittal, as approved by the City Attorney, to assure that such improvements are completed.

11.

Failure to Maintain Open Space. In the event that the organization established to own and maintain common open space, or any successor organization, shall at any time after establishment of the Planned Development fail to maintain the common open space in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the plan, the City may initiate actions in accordance with regulations as provided for in Chapter 10, Public Nuisances, of this Municipal Code and/or §66.0703, Wis. Stats.

(h)

Building Spacing and Orientation.

The minimum spacing allowed between buildings within a Planned Development may be reduced from that which is required in the underlying zoning districts or §17.17(3) provided the developer has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission that the proposed design and layout meets the provisions, intent and spirit of the PD purposes and applicable building codes.

Greater distances may be required by the Plan Commission taking into consideration the need for privacy, traffic circulation, open space, safety and emergency vehicle access.

Windows, patios and balconies shall be located and oriented to maximize privacy of individual dwelling units.

In no case shall the distance between principal buildings or building height be less than what is required by building code construction requirements.

(i)

Building Architecture. Developers shall, where appropriate, incorporate architectural control provisions in the protective covenants for the PD in an effort to maintain long-term property values and the architectural integrity of the development.

(j)

Building and Structure Heights.

Building and structure heights may exceed the maximum established by the underlying zoning district only upon the request by the applicant and approval by the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission shall contact the City Fire Inspector to obtain his recommendation in regards to proposed building and structure heights.

The Plan Commission shall assure that building and structure heights at the PD perimeter are substantially similar to existing or planned land uses.

In evaluating a development proposal providing building heights in excess of that which is allowed in the underlying zoning district, the Plan Commission shall give consideration to evidence presented on the following:

That increased height will not cast shadows or alter air currents in ways that will unreasonably limit the amount of light and air reaching other buildings in the vicinity to a significantly greater extent than if the building height did not exceed that which is allowed in the underlying zoning district.

That increased height would mitigate detrimental environmental impacts such as excessive ground coverage, diminution of open space, and monotonous development.

That increased height would not adversely affect and would result in increased sensitivity to the visual and physical characteristics of the particular location through more harmonious relationships to the terrain and to proposed and existing buildings in the vicinity that have functional or visual relationships to the proposed building.

That increased height would result from actions taken to lessen the impact of traffic and parking on the surrounding area.

(k)

Vehicular and Pedestrian Access.

The General Development Plan shall provide for suitable vehicular and pedestrian access to the Planned Development. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to permit smooth traffic flow with controlled turning movements and minimum hazards to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Minor streets within Planned Developments shall not be connected to streets outside the development in such a way as to encourage their use by through traffic.

It is encouraged that all nonresidential land uses within a PD have direct access to a primary street in order to avoid excessive traffic generation in residential sections of a PD.

(l)

Street Design, Construction and Ownership.

Standards of design and construction for streets, including right-of-way widths and street widths, within Planned Developments may be modified as is deemed appropriate by the Plan Commission. However, the following criteria shall be considered in reducing street design standards less than those provided for in the Chippewa Falls Subdivision Regulations:

Adequate separation of vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns shall be provided for.

Adequate off-street parking facilities shall be provided for.

The streets and roadways shall be designed to accommodate the proposed density within the PD and their anticipated uses.

Adequate street widths and right-of-way widths shall provide for normal functions such as garbage removal, snow removal, police and fire protection, school buses and ingress and egress of emergency vehicles.

The Plan Commission may refuse to modify the design standards for streets as provided for in the Chippewa Falls Subdivision Regulations if the development plan does not exhibit an efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation system and meet the criteria specified in this section.

(m)

Parking.

Parking facilities within the PD District shall be provided in accordance with §§17.38—17.43, Parking and Loading, of this chapter and in accordance with the following requirements:

Parking facilities shall be designed to be compatible with the architecture and residential character of the Planned Development. The imaginative use of walls, fences, land forms and plantings to screen motor vehicles is encouraged.

The Plan Commission may require such additional parking, loading and service areas for residential, nonresidential and recreational facilities as shall be required to meet the needs of residents, their visitors and other potential users.

Mixed-use parking facilities: PD's containing uses which have dissimilar peak traffic generation hours may have the total number of parking spaces required for each use reduced by not more than 40 percent where it is shown that the joint facility shall serve all existing, proposed, and potential uses as well as separate parking facilities for each use on the site. As a condition of approval of this joint use provision, reciprocal parking agreements between the parties involved shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and filed with the City.

(n)

Signs.

Chapter 19, the City Sign Regulations, shall be the basis for signage in a PD while the PD process and criteria allow for flexibility and the review of modified signage to meet a stated purpose or need. Signs within a PD shall be in conformance with a sign plan approved as part of the Development Plan.

Such sign plan shall clearly indicate the exact location, height, dimension, design, materials and other significant features of all signs to be located within the PD.

In developing and analyzing sign plans, consideration shall be given to the scale of the project, internal design considerations, and the character of the project as viewed from adjacent streets and properties.

It is the intent of this section to provide for a visually attractive streetscape and to insure that signage in a PD is harmonious with the project and adjacent properties. Therefore, the Plan Commission may require sign provisions which are more restrictive than what is required in the City Sign Code.

(o)

Landscaping, Screening and Buffering. In order to protect the integrity of a PD, and when deemed necessary to provide protection to adjacent properties, landscaping, screening and buffering may be required as part of the General Development Plan. Landscape plans shall show the location, species of plant material, and the size of all plant materials. Screening plans shall include typical details of fences, berms and plant material to be used.

(10)

STANDARDS AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.

(a)

Density and Housing Type.

The maximum number of dwelling units per acre (project density) for the PD as a whole shall be based upon the acreage of developable land as follows:

Zoning District	Project Density
R-1A	2 units per acre of developable land
R-1B	5 units per acre of developable land
R-1C	6 units per acre of developable land
R-2	12 units per acre of developable land
R-3A	20 units per acre of developable land
R-3B	24 units per acre of developable land
R-3-4	as permitted in §17.23.5(3)
R-3-8	as permitted in §17.23.8(3)
R-3M	as permitted in §17.24(3)

An increase in said project density may be allowed by the Plan Commission upon finding that:

Adequate public and private facilities and services are available, both on and off the site, to support the increased density or number of units, including but not limited to streets, parking, traffic control, water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, solid waste disposal and recycling, fire and police protection, recreational opportunities and/or facilities, and schools;

The increased density or number of units would not have a substantial negative effect upon adjacent properties; and

The Residential PD will be superior in design, function and appearance based upon the following criteria:

Orientation of the units on the site to achieve a high level of privacy of interior and exterior spaces;

ii.

Appropriateness of the scale and massing of structures;

iii.

Use of varied building elevations and staggered setbacks;

iv.

Effectiveness of landscaping, screening and buffering within the PD and along its perimeter;

Appropriateness of the type and level of improvements within the common open space areas given the characteristics of the residents of the PD;

vi.

Overall quality of design of the development, including streetscape, parking lots, open space, buildings, lighting, signs, pedestrian pathways, etc.;

vii.

Varied placement of buildings, demonstrating sensitivity to the natural topographic features of the site;

viii.

Retention of unique natural features of the site and incorporation of such features into the project's overall design;

ix.

Recreation areas that are provided are directly accessible to a majority of the dwellings and are well-designed for their intended purpose; and

Overall, the project exceeds the standards established in this chapter for design, function and appearance.

Lot sizes and housing types (e.g., single-family detached, zero lot line, duplex, townhouse, low-rise, high-rise, etc.) may vary from those permitted in the underlying zoning district to the extent that all provisions of this ordinance are met and that the project density for the application as a whole is not exceeded.

Where such increases in density or changes in housing types do occur within a PD, extra measures shall be taken, such as increases in setback, open space, screening, buffering, etc., to assure compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses, both existing and planned.

Subsection (10)(a) is applicable to Mixed-Use and Traditional Neighborhood Planned Developments.

(b)

Nonresidential uses of a religious, public or semipublic, cultural, educational or commercial character are subject to the following:

Residential Planned Developments are intended to be primarily residential in nature. However, land which is a part of a Residential Planned Development may be used for nonresidential uses as approved in the General Development Plan if such uses are compatible with nearby land uses, are secondary to the primary residential uses and clearly enhance the quality, enjoyment and value of the residential portion of the Residential Planned Development.

The total land area devoted to nonresidential uses of a commercial character shall not exceed 5 percent of the gross land area of the Residential Planned Development. The total area of all such nonresidential uses (religious, public and semipublic, cultural, educational and commercial) in the Planned Development shall not exceed 15 percent of the gross land area of the Residential Planned Development.

Permitted commercial uses in a Residential Planned Development shall be restricted to those uses permitted in the C-l Neighborhood Shopping and C-2 General Commercial Districts and shall primarily be for the benefit and use of the Residential Planned Development residents.

No building permit for any nonresidential use shall be issued prior to the complete construction of at least 20 percent of the dwelling units within the Residential Planned Development.

(11)

STANDARDS AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.

(a)

Commercial and Industrial Planned Developments are intended to provide flexibility in design and function of commercial, industrial, institutional, research, technology, office and business developments or parks. The Plan Commission will determine the feasibility of Commercial and Industrial Planned Developments proposed in the General Development Plan that demonstrate an effective, harmonious and functional unifying concept. Hence, the types of land uses can be of any nonresidential nature if their integration can be demonstrated to be complementary and organized into a useful, manageable and well-balanced development. However, Commercial and Industrial Planned Developments should generally be distinguishable as commercial centers, business parks, office parks, institutional campuses, medical campuses, research parks, technology parks or industrial parks.

(b)

Lighting. The following guidelines are to be used when evaluating lighting plans:

The height of light poles shall not exceed 40 feet, but in no case shall said height exceed the maximum height of structures permitted in the base zone.

Lights should be located on standards pointing towards the structures or areas to be illuminated. Lighting shields shall be utilized as appropriate to keep glare on-site.

The lighting fixtures plan shall be designed so as to harmonize with the building design. The design and placement of lighting fixtures shall not have an adverse effect upon abutting properties.

(c)

Signs. Integrated sign themes, developed in a manner that will complement the proposed project, shall be instituted for each commercial or industrial PD.
