Section 4.12.1.

Purpose and intent.

The Planned Development District (PD) is intended to provide for flexibility and encourage a more creative, efficient and aesthetically desirable design and placement of buildings, open spaces, and circulation patterns and to best utilize special site features such as topography, size and shape. It is intended that the flexibility permitted by this zoning category extends to discretionary approval, through site plan review of items such as parking space requirements, building line setbacks, square footages of buildings and structures, protective screening, or sign placement and specifications in order to achieve the purposes and objectives stated in conformance with good planning practices and land utilization.

A.

While great flexibility is given to provide special restrictions which will allow development not otherwise permitted, procedures are established herein to prevent against misuse of the increased flexibility.

Section 4.12.2.

Development requirements.

Development requirements for each separate PD district shall be set forth in the ordinance granting the PD district and shall include but not be limited to uses, density, lot area, lot width, lot depth, yard depths and widths, building size, building height, building elevations, coverage, floor area ratio, parking, access, screening, landscaping, accessory buildings, signs, lighting, management associations, and other requirements as the city council and planning and zoning commission may deem appropriate.

A.

The PD District shall conform to all other sections of the ordinance unless specifically excluded in the granting ordinance.

B.

The minimum acreage for a PD District request shall be five (5) acres for nonresidential development and ten (10) acres for residential development.

C.

The open space shall be a minimum of ten (10) percent of the total land area devoted to the multi-family use. This requirement may be varied downward by the city council when a lesser amount of open space would be more appropriate based on the density of the development, the installation of private recreational amenities, or where the availability and nature of adjacent public open space is such that a lesser amount would adequately accommodate the development.

Section 4.12.3.

Approval process.

In establishing a PD District in accordance with this section, the city council shall approve as part of the amending ordinance, appropriate plans and standards for each PD District. During the review and public hearing process, the planning and zoning commission and city council shall require a conceptual plan and/or a detailed plan.

A detailed plan may be submitted in lieu of a conceptual plan only if it includes the entire area being proposed as a PD District. Approval of the detailed plan shall be the basis for issuance of a building permit. The detailed plan may be submitted for the total area of the PD or for any section or part as approved on the conceptual plan. The detailed plan must be approved by the city council upon recommendation of the planning and zoning commission.

Procedure for establishing a PD District shall follow the procedure for zoning amendments as set forth in the code of ordinances. This procedure is further expanded as follows for approval of conceptual and detailed plans.

A.

Separate public hearings shall be held by the planning commission and city council for the approval of the conceptual plan and the detailed plan or any section of the detailed plan unless such requirement is waived by the city council when it is determined a single public hearing is adequate. A single public hearing is adequate when:

1.

The applicant submits adequate data with the request for the PD District to fulfill the requirements for both plans.

2.

Information on the concept plan is sufficient to determine the appropriate use of the land and the detail site plan will not deviate substantially from this plan.

3.

The requirement is waived at the time the amending ordinance is approved. If the requirement is waived, the conditions shall be specifically stated in the amending ordinance.

4.

The ordinance establishing the PD District shall not be approved until the conceptual plan is approved unless the conceptual plan step is bypassed.

5.

If the detailed plan is approved in phases a conceptual plan for the entire site shall be approved by the city council upon recommendation of the planning commission. When a detailed plan is approved in phases, then separate approvals by the planning commission and city council for the initial and subsequent phases will be required.

Minor amendments to a detailed plan.

Upon request of the applicant, the city manager or his/her designee may authorize minor amendments to a detailed plan so long as such minor amendments do not change the land use or substantially change the character, development standards, or design of the development as shown on the approved detailed plan. For purposes of this provision, a "substantial change" shall mean a change which will increase the number of proposed dwelling units, increase the floor to area ratio, size of structure, height, lot coverage, or number of stories or buildings, reduce lot, or yard size, decrease the amount of required off-street parking spaces, change types of buildings, setbacks, street access points, or lots, increase density, change traffic patterns, or alter the basic relationship of the proposed development to adjacent properties. The city manager or his/her designee shall make such authorization only in writing and such document shall be placed in the ordinance file governing the specific plan.

Section 4.12.8.

Planned development ordinances continued.

Prior to adoption of this ordinance, the city council had established various PD Districts, some of which are to be continued in full force and effect.
