The Planned Development (P-D) zoning district is intended to enable and encourage flexibility of design and development of land in such manner as to promote its most appropriate use. The P-D zoning district also allows diversification in the relationship of various uses, structures, and spaces.

Planned developments, involving the careful application of design, are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleasing and harmonious living and working environment within the city which otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the regulations of specific zoning districts. The P-D zoning district is designed to accommodate various types of developments, such as shopping centers, single-family housing developments, multifamily housing developments, professional and administrative areas, commercial service centers and industrial parks, or any other use or combination of uses that can be made appropriately a part of a planned development.

The proposed development shall be designed to produce an environment with a stable and desirable character and shall provide standards of open space and permanently reserved areas for off-street parking adequate for the occupancy proposed, and at least equivalent to those required elsewhere by the provisions of this title for such use. In case of residential development, it should include provisions for recreation areas to meet the needs of the anticipated population. The P-D zoning district is consistent with the Mixed Use - Planned Development land use designation.

The standards of site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, distances between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, and landscaped areas need not be equivalent to the standards prescribed for the regulations for other districts, which involve similar uses if the applicant has demonstrated, by their design proposal, that the objectives of this title will be achieved.

The average population density per net acre may not exceed the maximum population density prescribed in the general plan. Since planned developments also typically involve the subdivision process, the applicant must be prepared to show what changes in conventional street and lot design will be necessary to achieve the desired goals.

(Ord. No. 575, § I(Exh. A), 6-29-2023)

No use shall be permitted, and no process, equipment, or material shall be employed, which is found by the planning commission to be objectionable to persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property located in the vicinity by reason of odor, fumes, dust, smoke, cinders, dirt, refuse, water-carried wastes, noise, vibration, illuminations, glare, unsightliness or heavy truck traffic or to involve any hazard of fire or explosion.

(Ord. No. 575, § I(Exh. A), 6-29-2023)

A.

Prior to development of properties within the P-D zoning district that includes subdivision of property, the owner/applicant shall submit an application to the city:

1.

The application shall be accompanied by a development plan of the entire site, drawn to scale and showing the contours of the site in intervals of not more than five feet and provisions for: stormwater detention; public utility rights-of-way; streets; public and private access; driveways and sidewalks; off-street parking and loading facilities; reservations and dedications for public uses; residential uses, including dwelling types; nonresidential uses, including types; lot layout, including setbacks; heights and elevations of structures; and landscaped areas.

2.

In addition to the data prescribed in subsection (A)(1) of this section, the application shall be accompanied by a tabulation of the area proposed to be devoted to each land use and a tabulation of the average population density per net acre and per gross acre in the area or areas proposed to be devoted to residential use.

3.

The application shall also be accompanied by text that establishes development standards for the planned development including lot sizes, setbacks, building heights, parking requirements, etc.

4.

A written statement setting forth the source of water supply, method of sewage disposal, and provisions for maintenance of landscaped areas.

5.

Proposed parcel or subdivision map consistent with the development plan.

B.

The planning commission shall review and act upon the parcel map or tentative subdivision map application in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Subdivision Map Act and Title 16 (Subdivisions). Any approval shall be conditioned on the map becoming effective concurrently with the effective date of the rezone establishing the planned development district.

C.

The planning commission may recommend approval of the planned development permit application and establishment of the planned development district only if it first makes the following findings:

1.

That the proposed location of the planned development is in accordance with the objectives of this title.

2.

That the proposed location of the planned development and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

3.

That the proposed planned development will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this chapter.

4.

That the standards of population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, heights of structures, distance between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, and landscaped areas will produce an environment of stable and desirable character consistent with the objectives of the city.

5.

That the standards of population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structures, distances between structures and off-street parking and off-street loading facilities will be such that the development will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion and will not overload utilities.

6.

That the combination of different dwelling types and variety of land uses in the development will complement each other and will harmonize with existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity.

7.

The proposed planned development or the first use or group of uses can be substantially completed within the time schedule submitted by the applicant.

D.

The planning commission shall forward its recommendation regarding approval of the planned development permit and establishment of the planned development district to the city council for final action.

E.

The city council shall consider the application and development plan, together with the recommendation of the planning commission. The council may approve the planned development permit and establish the planned development district if it finds that:

1.

The proposed district and development plan, as recommended by the planning commission, are consistent with the general plan and with the purposes of this title.

2.

The proposed district and all uses provided for therein will be compatible with existing and anticipated development in the general vicinity.
