25 - SPECIAL DISTRICTS
A.
Purpose. Like overlay zoning districts, special purpose zoning districts are tools for dealing with unique neighborhoods or settings or accomplishing special planning and zoning goals. Unlike overlay districts, however, special districts are base zoning classifications; they do not "over-lay" other base zoning districts.
B.
Establishment. Except as otherwise expressly stated, special districts may be established, amended or removed only in accordance with the zoning map amendment procedures of 17.65.030.
(Ord. No. 2122-2019, § 3, 6-20-19).
A.
Purpose and Intent. The PUD, planned unit development district is established to accommodate development that would be difficult or impossible to carry out under otherwise applicable zoning regulations. Different types of PUDs will promote different planning goals. In general, however, all PUDs are intended to result in development that is consistent with the city's adopted plans and that provides greater public benefits than could be achieved using conventional zoning regulations. PUDs are also generally intended to promote one or more of the following:
1.
Variety in housing types and sizes to accommodate households of all ages, sizes, incomes and lifestyle choices;
2.
Compact, mixed-use development patterns where residential, commercial, employment, civic, and open space areas are located in close proximity to one another;
3.
A transportation network designed to accommodate safe and efficient motorized and nonmotorized travel;
4.
Direct, safe and convenient nonmotorized travel routes within the boundaries of the development site, as well as connections to abutting properties;
5.
Buildings and other improvements that by their arrangement, massing, design, character and site design elements establish a quality, livable environment;
6.
Sustainable development practices;
7.
Incorporation of open space amenities and natural resource features into the development design;
8.
Low-impact development (LID) and best management practices for managing stormwater; and
9.
Flexibility and creativity in responding to changing social, economic and market conditions.
B.
Initiation of Amendment. Applications to establish an PUD district or expand the boundaries of an existing PUD district may be initiated only by the owner of the subject property.
C.
Statement of Intent. Each PUD application must include a written explanation describing how the proposed development meets the purpose and intent described in 17.25.020.A and the supplemental review and approval criteria of 17.25.020.D.2.
D.
PUD Approval Procedures.
1.
Overview of Required Approval Process.
a.
A property owner request for rezoning to the PUD zoning district requires review and approval of a zoning map amendment (see 17.65.030), which is processed concurrently with a development plan (see 17.65.090).
b.
After approval of the zoning map amendment and development plan, site plan review and approval is required in accordance with the procedures of 17.65.100.
c.
No building permit may be issued and no building or development may occur in a PUD zoning district until a subdivision plat incorporating the provisions of the approved development plan has been approved and filed of record in the county clerk's office.
2.
Supplemental Review and Approval Criteria. In making recommendations and decisions on PUD district zoning map amendments, review and decision-making bodies must consider the zoning map amendment criteria of 17.65.030.H and the following factors:
a.
Whether the proposed planned unit development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and any other adopted plans for the subject area;
b.
Whether the development plan complies with the PUD district provisions of 17.25.020;
c.
Whether the development will result in public benefits that are equal to or greater than those that would have resulted from development under conventional zoning (non-PUD) regulations; and
d.
Whether appropriate terms and conditions have been imposed on the approval to protect the interests of surrounding property owners and residents, existing and future residents of the PUD and the general public.
E.
Abandonment. Abandonment of an approved PUD requires that the property be rezoned to another zoning district in accordance with the zoning map amendment procedures of 17.65.030 or that a new PUD be approved following the procedures of 17.25.020.D.
F.
Use Regulations and Lot and Building Regulations. The use regulations and lot and building regulations that apply within an PUD zoning district must be established at the time of development plan approval by the city commission.
G.
Other Development Standards. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the approved development plan, properties within the PUD district are subject to all other applicable provisions of this UDO and the subdivision regulations. The PUD district is expressly intended to accommodate the use of alternative standards for streets and other public improvements based on the approved development plans. The development plan must specify the deviations proposed from otherwise applicable subdivision design and public improvement standards if deviations from otherwise applicable regulations and standards are proposed.
(Ord. No. 2122-2019, § 3, 6-20-19).
A.
Mapping. The PI (public and institutional) zoning district designations may be applied regardless of ownership of the land on which the use is located. PI zoning designations are not intended to be applied to land owned by a governmental or institutional entity but used for non-governmental service or non-institutional use.
B.
PI-1, Neighborhood-scale Public and Institutional District.
1.
Purpose. The PI-1, neighborhood-scale public and institutional district is intended to accommodate smallscale, low-intensity public, civic, and institutional uses that are commonly found in or near residential neighborhoods.
2.
Allowed Uses. Principal uses are allowed in PI-1 districts in accordance with 17.30.010 (Table 30-1).
3.
Lot and Building Regulations.
a.
Maximum District Area. In order to maintain the intended neighborhood-scale character of the PI-1 district, the maximum contiguous PI-1 zoned area may not exceed four acres.
b.
Setbacks and Other Lot and Building Regulations. The size, location, and design of all buildings, structures, activity areas and other site improvements must comply with the lot and building regulations of the most restrictive abutting zoning district, except that no minimum lot area, minimum lot width or street frontage requirements apply in an PI-1 district.
4.
Other Regulations. Development in an PI-1 district is subject to all other applicable regulations of this UDO, including parking, landscaping, sign and other regulations of general applicability.
C.
PI-2, Campus-scale Public and Institutional District. The PI-2, campus-scale public and institutional district is intended to accommodate development and expansion of large public, civic and institutional uses, while minimizing the potential for adverse impacts on surrounding areas.
1.
Allowed Uses. Principal uses are allowed in the PI-2 district in accordance with 17.30.010 (Table 30-1). Additional uses may be approved in the PI-2 district only if expressly approved as part of an institutional master plan. Multiple principal uses and buildings are allowed on a single lot in the PI-2 district.
2.
Development Review.
a.
Applicability. Unless otherwise expressly exempted, development review and approval is required before the issuance of any building or development permit in the PI-2 district. To comply with the development review requirements of this section, applicants have the option of:
(1)
Securing conditional use approval for all proposed buildings development activities in the PI-2 district; or
(2)
Submitting and securing approval of an overall institutional master plan in accordance with the requirements of this section.
b.
Exemptions. The following are exempt from the development review requirements of this section:
(1)
Development that complies with a valid, approved institutional master plan;
(2)
Interior building alterations if the alteration will not result in an increase in the number of employees or the creation of or need for additional parking spaces; and
(3)
Exterior building modifications that will not result in an increase in the number of employees or the creation of or need for additional parking spaces.
3.
Lot and Building Regulations.
a.
Transitional Areas. The size, location, and design of all buildings, structures, activity areas and other site improvements located within one hundred fifty feet of the boundary of any R zoning district, are subject to the abutting R district's lot and building regulations, except that no minimum lot area, minimum lot width or street frontage requirements apply in the PI-2 district.
b.
Interior Site Areas. Areas of an PI-2-zoned site located more than one hundred fifty feet from the boundary of an R zoning district are governed by the regulations approved at the time of conditional use or institutional master plan approval, whichever is applicable. Institutional master plans and conditional use applications must include the applicant's detailed description of the regulations proposed to be used.
4.
Institutional Master Plans.
a.
Purpose. Institutional master plan requirements provide a framework for development of large public, civic and institutional uses in campus-like settings. Approval of an institutional master plan is intended to protect the character and integrity of adjacent areas while allowing flexibility in site development and design that is not possible when development occurs on a lot-by-lot or building-by-building basis.
b.
Planning Area. An institutional master plan must include all land located within the proposed PI-2 district and depict all land uses within the area extending out at least three hundred feet from the PI-2 district boundary.

5.
Approval Procedures. Institutional master plans require review and approval in accordance with the PUD procedures of 17.25.020.D.1.
(Ord. No. 2122-2019, § 3, 6-20-19).
A.
Description. The TND, traditional neighborhood district is a special zoning classification that is tailored to specific sites and specific development plans. TNDs are intended to promote walkable neighborhood designs with a range of housing types and convenient access to shopping, recreation and civic amenities.
B.
TND Zoning Approval Procedures.
1.
A property owner request for rezoning to the TND zoning district requires review and approval of a zoning map amendment (see 17.65.030), which is processed concurrently with a development plan (see 17.65.090).
