(a)   “Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay District” means a special zoning district established to permit a more flexible approach to land use control where such an approach is necessary to achieve a higher quality of development and to facilitate development that is sensitive to special site constraints.

   (b)   “Planned Unit Development (PUD) project” means a development proposal voluntarily submitted for Site Plan approval as provided in this chapter within a PUD Overlay District.

   (c)   “Director” means the Director of the City Planning Commission.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   A Planned Unit Development Overlay District is intended for special situations in which adequate space, light, air, and other objectives of City land use regulations can be achieved without the literal application of such regulations. Approval for such a district may be obtained if a PUD area is planned as an integral unit and if its planning is subject to more detailed review and approval by the City than is normally required. Provisions of this chapter may be employed where:

   (a)   Special amenities and benefits to the physical environment of the City, beyond those normally required by City regulations, can be achieved by allowing more flexible planning than is permitted by such regulations; or

   (b)   Properties with special constraints, such as infill parcels, call for a more flexible approach to land use control in order to facilitate development that is sensitive to such constraints.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   The provisions of this chapter shall apply to projects in which the developer proposes to achieve a quality of integrated site planning not possible under the constraints of normal zoning requirements. Such projects are voluntarily submitted for Site Plan approval as an alternative to approval under normal requirements. A developer may use provisions of this chapter only for property under his or her ownership or control as evidenced through an option or another written agreement with the property owner. Developments approved as PUD’s shall be regulated by:

   (a)   The specific provisions of an approved Site Plan; and

   (b)   Any requirements of City land use regulations from which an exception has not been provided on the approved Site Plan.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   (a)   Application. An application for mapping of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay District and for approval of the corresponding Planned Unit Development (PUD) project shall be submitted to the Director of the City Planning Commission. Application for approval of PUD project may be made concurrently with application for designation of a PUD Overlay District; or, alternately, a PUD Overlay District may be approved and designated prior to submission of an application for approval of a PUD project. The application for PUD project approval shall contain eight (8) copies of the narrative items required in Section 334.19 and eight (8) copies of the Site Plan required in Sections 334.17 and 334.20. A more generalized application may be submitted if the applicant selects the Optional Two-Stage Review as provided in Section 334.05.

   (b)   Acceptance of Application. The City Planning Director shall accept an application as provided in division (a), if the Director determines that such application includes all required items. The Director may waive any item, if he or she determines the item is not necessary for a decision on the application or would impose unreasonable expense or delay in relation to the nature of the action proposed. The Director shall advise the City Planning Commission and the City Planning Committee of Council of the items so waived prior to their action on the application. Either of the bodies may rescind the waiver and require the waived item to be submitted before taking action.

   (c)   Referral to City Council. Within three (3) working days after acceptance of the application, the Director shall provide written notification of the acceptance of the application to the member or members of Council in whose ward(s) the project district or project area is located. Provided said member or members of Council do not object, legislation shall be introduced to amend the Zoning Map and to approve the proposed development.

   (d)   Interdepartmental Review. Within three (3) working days after acceptance of the application for approval of a PUD project, the Director shall also transmit the application for review and comment to the Departments of Public Service, Public Safety, Public Utilities, and Community Development, in addition to any other department of City government as the Director deems appropriate. Each such department shall return written comments to the City Planning Director within ten (10) working days of receipt of the application.

   (e)   City Planning Commission Meeting. City Council shall refer the Planned Unit Development legislation to the City Planning Commission for review and recommendation. The City Planning Commission shall make its determination in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and shall also seek advice from the applicable design review advisory committee. The Commission shall recommend either approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the legislation from City Council, unless the applicant has requested an extension of this time period.

   (f)   City Council Public Hearing. Within thirty (30) calendar days of action by the City Planning Commission, the City Planning Committee of City Council shall hold a Public Hearing to consider mapping of the PUD Overlay District and/or approval of the proposed PUD project. The Public Hearing shall be advertised and conducted in accordance with Chapter 333 of this Zoning Code. Within ten (10) working days of the conclusion of the Public Hearing, City Council shall take action on the application. A vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the membership of City Council shall be required to take any action different from the advisory action of the City Planning Commission.

   (g)   Transmittal to Commissioner of Building and Housing. Within three (3) working days after approval of legislation for a PUD project by City Council, the City Planning Director shall transmit a copy of the approved Site Plan and any applicable conditions to the Commissioner of Building and Housing for use in reviewing permit applications for development within the Planned Unit Development Overlay District.

   (h)   Rehearing. Except as otherwise provided herein, no application that has been finally disapproved by City Council shall be resubmitted within one (1) year of the date of disapproval or of the expiration of any applicable negotiation period except on the grounds of new factual evidence or a change in conditions found to be valid by the City Planning Commission Director. A tie vote shall not be considered a disapproval for purposes of this paragraph. Revision of an application that removes characteristics on which its disapproval was based may be considered such a change in conditions.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   In lieu of following the approval process as provided in Section 334.04, an applicant for mapping of a PUD Overlay District and for approval of the corresponding PUD project may request a Two-Stage Approval, which is conducted in the following manner.

   (a)   Stage 1 Approval. The applicant may submit a more generalized application than otherwise required under Section 334.04. The Director, however, may refuse to accept any Stage 1 application that he or she deems to contain insufficient information for meaningful review. Stage 1 approval shall constitute approval of only the level of detail and completeness presented in the Stage 1 application. No permits shall be issued until after Stage 2 approval.

   (b)   Stage 2 Approval. The City Planning Commission and City Council may take final action to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove an application, or any phase thereof, for which it has given Stage 1 approval. The general terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in a Stage 1 approval shall not be modified, revoked, or otherwise impaired by final Stage 2 action of the City except on the basis of relevant new or changed information submitted with the Stage 2 application. The City Council, however, may rescind Stage 1 approval, and thereby revoke such terms and conditions, if the applicant has failed to file, within three hundred sixty (360) days of the date of initial Stage 1 approval or of approval of an amendment thereto, either an application for Stage 2 approval or an application for an amendment to the previous Stage 1 approval. City Council may grant an extension of this time period upon showing of good cause by the applicant.

The applicant shall submit evidence of such filing to the Division of Engineering and Construction. A Building Permit shall not be issued until the Site Plan is recorded. The applicant shall pay all recording costs.

   (b)   Filing with City Engineer. One (1) reproducible mylar copy of an approved Site Plan or Site Plan Amendment shall be filed with the Division of Engineering and Construction.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   (a)   Expiration of Site Plan Approval. Site Plan approval, as granted for PUD projects under Section 334.04 or division (b) of Section 334.05, shall be automatically revoked if construction on the development has not begun within two (2) years of the date of final approval or conditional approval thereof, or if the project has not been completed within four (4) years of the date of final approval or conditional approval. City Council may approve one (1) or more extensions of either time period and may establish an initial completion period exceeding four (4) years for projects deemed to be large or complex.

   (b)   Site Restoration. If construction on a property is permanently discontinued as a result of permit expiration, revocation, or for any other reason, the permittee shall repair any excavation, rough grading, or other earth work and restore the site to a safe condition and sightly appearance, as approved by the Commissioner of Engineering and Construction and the Commissioner of Building and Housing.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   (a)   Requirement for Amendment. Approval of an amendment to a Site Plan is required for any material change, deletion, or addition made to such Site Plan after Stage 1, Stage 2, or any other approval, or for a Stage 2 Site Plan that does not conform to the Stage 1 Site Plan approved by City Council. The decision for such approval shall be made, pursuant to Section 334.10, by the City Planning Commission and the City Council upon submission of the amendment pursuant to division (b) of this section.

   (b)   Submission of Amendment. An applicant seeking approval of an amendment shall file an application therefor with the Commissioner of Building and Housing.

   (a)   Minor Amendments. The Commissioner of Building and Housing shall refer any request for amendment of an approved Site Plan to the Director of the City Planning Commission. The Director shall determine whether the amendment sought is a Minor Amendment as defined in Section 334.11. No public hearing shall be required for a Minor Amendment. An applicant may appeal a decision of the Planning Commission on a Minor Amendment to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The City Planning Commission shall approve Minor Amendments in accordance with the criteria and standards established in this chapter for approval of PUD projects.

   (b)   Other Amendments. For amendments other than Minor Amendments, the full Approval Process set forth in Section 334.04 shall be followed.

   (c)   Approval and Recording. The Planning Commission or City Council shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove an amendment. An amended Site Plan shall be recorded in accordance with Section 334.07.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   (d)   For Permits or Certificates affecting a single lot of less than one-fourth (1/4) acre containing less than five thousand (5,000) square feet of gross floor area, a Variance from the Site Plan or the regulations of this Code has been approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   The following incentives, in the form of relief from normal regulatory requirements, are offered for developments which meet the standards and criteria established in this chapter for approval of PUD projects. Such incentives shall not be considered Variances and shall not be required to conform to the approval criteria for Variances.

   (a)   Variable Zoning Standards. Except as provided by Section 334.16, standards for lot area, lot width, building height, yard dimensions, off-street parking and loading, landscaping and screening, and signs, may vary from those established in applicable sections of the Zoning Code.

   (b)   Buildings Per Lot. In an approved Site Plan, more than one (1) principal building may be located on a lot.

   (c)   Variable Subdivision Standards. Dimensional and design standards for subdivisions and subdivision improvements, such as for streets, blocks, and sidewalks, may vary from standards established in Chapter 309 and any other relevant City ordinances. Specifications for such construction elements as materials, thicknesses and tolerances, however, may not be varied.

   (d)   Mixed Land Uses. In residential zoning districts, a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of all residential uses in the PUD project may be devoted to residential uses which are not otherwise permitted; whereas a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the project’s gross floor may be devoted to non-residential uses. In non-residential zoning districts, a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the PUD project’s gross floor area may be devoted to uses which are not otherwise permitted.

(Ord. No. 1011-94. Passed 6-13-94, eff. 6-22-94)

   In order to be granted the flexibility permitted under the provisions of this chapter, a Site Plan submitted hereunder shall evidence a level of integrated planning and amenity exceeding the level that may be achieved under otherwise applicable regulations. Features contributing to this higher level of planning and amenity include, but are not limited to, the following:

   (a)   Siting of buildings and other facilities in greater harmony with the existing man-made and natural environments on the site and in its surroundings;

   (b)   Buffering of uses from incompatible nearby uses that is superior to that routinely required by City regulations;

   (c)   An amount or quality of landscaping superior to that normally required by City regulations;

   (d)   The amount, quality, and interconnectedness of public or common open space or of areas of public access to the lakefront, riverfront, and other areas of special amenity;

   (e)   Special accommodations for bus or rapid transit, such as weather-protected access from buildings to rapid transit or bus stations or stops:

   (i)   Superior provision in the planning of the site for public security and crime prevention;

   (j)   Architectural design meeting exceptionally high standards of quality and character; and

   (k)   Other features relating to the physical development planning of the property as determined by the City Planning Commission or City Council.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   A PUD development project granted relief from normal regulatory requirements through this chapter shall meet the following specific standards regarding density, yards, and zero lot line development.

   (a)   Maximum Density. Neither the aggregate number of single and two (2) family dwellings, the total floor area, nor the total land coverage by buildings in the development as a whole, or any phase thereof, shall exceed the maximums allowed in the applicable sections of the Zoning Code (i.e., underlying zoning district) by an amount greater than ten percent (10%).

      (1)   For residential uses, land area devoted to new permanent common or public open space provided as part of a development within its residential areas may be included as part of lot or site area for purposes of these calculations.

      (2)   For purposes of division (a)(1), there shall not be counted as open space any land covered by buildings or devoted to streets, parking, loading, service, refuse disposal, storage, vehicular maneuvering or circulation, or fifty percent (50%) of wet and twenty five percent (25%) of dry stormwater retention or detention basins.

   (b)   Yard Obstructions. Where the normal definitions of yards do not apply, the Site Plan shall either:

      (1)   Designate which open spaces on the property are to be treated as front, corner side, interior side, or rear yards for purposes of conformance to Chapter 357; or

      (2)   Be accompanied by homeowners’ or condominium association covenants or other legal instruments governing such obstructions.

   (c)   Zero Lot Line Development. Subject to the restrictions of this division, the otherwise required width or depth of certain yards may be reduced to zero (0) in subdivisions of detached principal residential or non-residential buildings on individual lots. This provision is intended to allow more usable and more easily maintained open spaces on smaller lots, while also protecting privacy and assuring light, air, and safety. Zero (0) lot line developments shall be approved only under the provisions of this chapter except where reduction of a yard to zero qualifies as a variance.

      (1)   Minimum Size. No zero (0) lot line development shall include fewer than six (6) existing or newly subdivided lots. Zero lot line plans shall not apply to isolated individual lots in areas of conventionally sited buildings.

      (2)   Yards.

         A.   The following yards shall not be reduced to zero (0):

            1.   Front and corner side yards;

            2.   Yards that abut an alley;

            3.   Yards that abut a lot not included in a zero lot line development;

            4.   Yards that, if reduced to zero, would result in principal buildings on adjoining lots being separated by less than five (5) feet at any point, except for residential units designed as townhouse or attached single-family units.

         B.   If an interior side yard is reduced to zero (0), the remaining interior or corner side yard shall have a minimum width equal to the sum of the normally required widths of both side yards, except in the case of attached residential units.

      (3)   Required Easement.

         A.   A perpetual easement shall be provided in every yard that abuts a yard reduced to zero (0) on an abutting lot. The easement shall be in favor of the owner of the abutting building wall.

         B.   The easement shall be no less than four (4) feet in width extending along that portion of the lot line that abuts a building on the other lot and including a point of access to the easement from either a building exit or yard or other open space on the adjoining lot.

         C.   The easement shall be shown on the recorded plat and incorporated into each deed transferring title to the property. Proof of recording of such easement shall be submitted to the Commissioner of Building and Housing prior to issuance of a Building Permit.

         D.   Within the easement, there shall be no obstruction otherwise permitted in the applicable yard if it impedes access to the wall on the adjacent lot for painting, cleaning, maintenance, and repair.

         E.   Roof overhangs shall not project more than two (2) feet into the easement on the abutting lot. The roof shall be so designed that water runoff onto the lot is confined to the easement area.

      (4)   Wall Openings. No window, door, air conditioning unit, or other opening shall be located on a building wall that abuts a yard reduced to zero.

(Ord. No. 1011-94. Passed 6-13-94, eff. 6-22-94)

   A Site Plan submitted for approval as a PUD project shall be reviewed in accordance with the following approval criteria, in addition to other standards established in this chapter.

   (a)   Site Plan Requirements. The Site Plan shall meet all requirements for PUD projects set forth in this chapter. No modifications to any applicable Code regulations are allowed, other than those permitted herein.

   (b)   Consistency with City Plan. The Site Plan shall be generally consistent with Cleveland’s Comprehensive Plan as adopted by the City Planning Commission.

   (c)   Public Welfare. The Site Plan shall not jeopardize the public health, safety, or welfare.

   (d)   Compatibility with Surroundings. Neither the Site Plan nor any portion thereof shall be unduly injurious to the use and enjoyment of properties within the Plan or in its vicinity; nor shall the Site Plan, or any portion of it, seriously impair property values or environmental quality or significantly impede the development, redevelopment, or conservation of properties within the surrounding area.

   (e)   Circulation and Parking. The Site Plan shall provide for safe and efficient circulation of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and, where applicable, marine or bicycle traffic into, within, and out of the property. The Site Plan shall also provide for adequate access by service and emergency vehicles. It shall provide off- street parking and loading areas appropriate in size and location to planned land uses and to the location of the site. Circulation, parking, and loading facilities shall be adequate in location, size, capacity, and design to ensure safe and efficient circulation of automobiles, trucks, buses, bicycles, pedestrians, fire trucks, garbage trucks, boats, and snow plows, as appropriate, without creating unnecessary traffic hazards, blocking traffic, attracting congestion, creating excessive pedestrian- vehicular conflict, generating unnecessary through- traffic within the site, or unduly interfering with the safety or capacity of adjacent streets, sidewalks, or waterways.

   (f)   Open Spaces and Buffering. Open space between all buildings shall be adequate to allow for light and air, access by fire-fighting equipment, and privacy where walls have windows, terraces, or adjoining patios. Open space or buffering through landscaping or screening along the perimeter of the Site Plan shall be sufficient to reasonably protect existing and permitted future uses of adjacent property from adverse effects. The size, shape, and location of a substantial portion of any public or common open space provided in residential areas shall be useable for recreation purposes.

   (g)   Public Services. The land uses, intensities, and phasing of the Site Plan shall be consistent with the anticipated ability of the City, the school system, and other public bodies to provide and economically support police and fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, schools, and other public facilities and services required by the development, without placing undue burden on existing residents and businesses. The Site Plan shall not unnecessarily require excessive public investment in installation or maintenance of facilities or services to serve the property but shall be reasonably efficient in its use of public services.

   (h)   Environment. The Site Plan shall not create, or fail to adequately mitigate, adverse environmental effects, such as harmful blockage of light and air, excessive street-level wind currents, glare, noise, or vibration. The Site Plan shall provide for effective storm drainage with minimum ponding, erosion, sedimentation, and discharge of runoff onto abutting lots.

   (i)   Security. The Site Plan shall minimize physical features that provide opportunities for anti- social or criminal behavior or that unduly threaten personal safety either on the site or on adjacent streets or abutting lots.

   (j)   Phasing. Each development phase shown in the Site Plan may, together with any phases that preceded it, exist as an independent unit that meets all of the foregoing criteria and all other applicable regulations herein, even if no subsequent phase is ever completed.

(Ord. No. 2093-93. Passed 11-29-93, eff. 12-7-93)

   (a)   Applicability. Within a PUD Overlay District which includes within its boundaries an approved PUD project site plan, no Building Permit shall be issued for any exterior construction or exterior alteration, except as provided in division (b) of this section, without issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the City Planning Commission. In reviewing an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Commission shall be guided by the general architectural standards presented in Section 341.05 of the Zoning Code and by any design guidelines approved by the City Planning Commission for the subject site. The applicant may seek approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness concurrently with or subsequent to approval of the Site Plan for the PUD project.

   (b)   Exemptions. No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for the following:

      (1)   Routine maintenance and repair activities resulting in no change in external appearance;

      (2)   Alterations to buildings and properties which are exclusively residential in use; and

      (3)   Alterations or demolition mandated by the Commissioner of Building and Housing to address an immediate danger to human life or health and, therefore, requiring prompt repair or removal, in accordance with the provisions of division (i) of Section 3103.09 of the Cleveland Building Code.
