At such time as more development is contemplated, these areas should be rezoned to an appropriate classification in accordance with the intent of the Comprehensive Development Plan. In the event of annexation of a new area to the City, such areas shall be zoned at their current zoning or zoned "AG-1" if they meet the requirements of that district or zoned as the owners request, pending the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen.

Section 400.190 "PD" Planned Development District.
[Ord. No. 635 §1, 5-23-2005; Ord. No. 691 §§1 — 3, 8-21-2006]
A.
Intent And Purpose.
1.
The purpose of the Planned Development District is to provide a means of achieving a greater flexibility in development of land in a manner not possible in conventional zones; to encourage more imaginative and innovative design of projects; to promote a more desirable community environment; and to retain maximum control over both the structure and future operation of the development. The Planned Development District serves to preserve existing natural features, scenic qualities or existing open spaces and adapt the development to existing land features.
2.
The Board of Aldermen, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, may, by ordinance adopted in the same manner as zoning districts are created, authorize a Planned Development District when the proposed development or use of a specific tract of land or area warrants greater flexibility, control and density than would otherwise be possible under the general regulations which do not permit excessive densities or the development of incompatible land uses, either within a development or as the development relates to the general neighborhood.
3.
The City may, upon proper application, approve a planned development using flexible techniques of land development and site design to gain relief from zoning requirements in relation to lot size, dwelling size and property line setbacks, designed for conventional developments, upon demonstration of achievement of the following objectives:
a.
Environmental design in the development of land that is of a higher quality than is possible under the regulations otherwise applicable to the property.
b.
Diversification in the uses permitted and variation of the relationship of uses, structures, open space and height of structures in developments intended as cohesive, unified projects.
c.
Functional and beneficial uses of open space areas and preservation of natural features of a development site.
d.
Establish and maintain the neighborhood concept by allowing non-residential uses within the development, thereby discouraging strip commercial development.
e.
Creation of a safe and desirable living environment for residential areas characterized by a unified building and site development program.
f.
Rational and cost effective development in relation to public services.
g.
Efficient and effective traffic circulation, both within and adjacent to the development site, and the encouragement of pedestrian and non-motorized pathway utilizing site features.
B.
Relationship Of Planned Development Districts To Zoning.
1.
Mapped district. The "PD" designation is not intended to be attached to existing use districts as an overlay. The "PD" designation as detailed in this Section is a separate use district and may be attached to a parcel of land as an original zoning district or it may be attached to a parcel of land through the process of Zoning Map amendment (rezoning). A Zoning Map amendment to achieve the "PD" designation shall comply with the requirements and procedures of Title IV, Article III, Section 400.110(1) Amendments. If a property is zoned agricultural within the City of Foristell and greater density is requested based upon the City's Comprehensive Plan, an application for zoning district amendment under the procedures of Title IV, Article III, Section 400.110(1) is required to establish a residential zoning district classification and residential density.
2.
Plan approval required. Although the "PD" designation may be applied to parcels of land as a mapped zoning district, it is the intent of this Section that no development or redevelopment of property represented by the "PD" designation take place until an acceptable preliminary plan, site improvement plan and final development plan has been reviewed and approved in conformance with the requirements of this Section. A planned development will involve subdivision of land; therefore, the subdivision review and approval procedures contained in Chapter 410 "Subdivision and Land Development Regulations" shall be carried out concurrently with the review of any "PD" development. Any pre-existing uses within the area encompassed by the "PD" designation shall have the status of non-conforming uses, as outlined in Article VI Section 400.340 Non-Conforming Use, until such time as they are included in an approved development plan.
3.
Types of planned developments. All areas of the City subject to the "PD" designation shall be assigned one (1) of the following subclassifications which shall be considered a separate use district and be subject to the specific restrictions and limitations outlined in this Section:
a.
Planned Development — Residential ("PD-R"). Planned developments involving residential uses only.
b.
Planned Development — Commercial ("PD-C"). Planned developments involving commercial uses only.
c.
Planned Development — Industrial ("PD-I"). Planned developments involving industrial uses only.
d.
Planned Development Mixed Use ("PD-MXD"). Planned developments involving a mixture of residential and non-residential uses.
4.
Approved planned districts. Approved or properly executed planned developments existing at the time of adoption of these regulations will be subject to the restrictions of the final development plan approved by the City of Foristell and will not be required to comply with these regulations.
C.
Overall Development Site Size. The minimum overall site size required for planned developments shall be as follows:
1.
Planned development — residential: 10.0 acres.
2.
Planned development — commercial: 10.0 acres.
3.
Planned development — industrial: 10.0 acres.
4.
Planned development — mixed use: 30.0 acres
These minimum site sizes may be waived by the Board of Aldermen upon recommendation by the Planning Commission if a specific proposal has severe limitations regarding topography, tree cover, wetlands, flood plains, soil conditions, utility easements or unusual land shape or proportions for conventional development; or if it is determined that the use proposed is desirable or necessary in relationship to the surrounding neighborhood; or if the Board of Aldermen determines such waiver to be in the general public interest. |
D.
Permitted Uses. The use of land is considered an integral element of the proposed development plan. Approval of the proposed development by the Board of Aldermen carries with it approval of the various uses encompassed by it. Based upon this relationship, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen may require revisions to the proposed development plan as it relates to the proposed uses; or may require elimination from the plan of any use considered inappropriate, based upon its relationship to other uses proposed in the plan, surrounding existing land uses or land uses featured in the adopted Comprehensive Plan for the City of Foristell. Uses of land shall be established by the ordinance adopted by the Board of Aldermen authorizing the "PD" Planned Development District. Uses of land, which may be proposed within a development plan by "PD" subclassification, are as follows:
Subclassification | Requirement |
|---|---|
Planned Development — Residential | Uses may include only those uses designated as permitted; accessory or conditional uses in the "R-1" through "R-3" Single-Family, "R-4 Single-Family and Multi-Family and "R-5" Multi-Family Districts. |

Density And Area Regulations And Performance Standards.
1.
General standards. Approval of the preliminary development plan may provide for regular exceptions from traditional zoning districts as may be necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development; provided however, such exceptions are consistent with the standards and criteria contained in this Section and have been specifically requested in the application for a planned development; and further, that no modification of the regulations contained herein would be allowed with the following results:
a.
Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development;
b.
Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed major street network in the vicinity;
c.
Undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned development;
d.
Development which will be incompatible with the purposes of this Chapter;
e.
Detrimental environmental impact on the surrounding area, including aesthetics; and/or
f.
Development with no future guaranty that it will maintain its quality.
It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to clearly demonstrate that the above criteria are being met. The burden of proof shall rest with the developer and not City staff or the Planning and Zoning Commission. |
2.
Designation of open space.
a.
A minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the total project area must be dedicated as common open space. Pre-developed slopes of thirty percent (30%) or more must be preserved as common open space, excluding areas used in conjunction with subdivision plan street layout and design. Floodplain or floodway areas shall be designated as common open space utilized for recreational or open space amenities. Impact to these areas is permissive upon request and preliminary and final plan approval for portions of residential lot development.
b.
Common open space shall be used for the collective enjoyment of the occupants of the development equally throughout the development as practicable and be highly accessible to the dwelling units it is intended to serve and shall not be isolated to areas of unusable land.
c.
No area of interior project common open space in the development plan shall be less than ten (10) feet in width in its smallest dimension.
d.
The use, operation and maintenance of the common open space areas and common ground buildings shall be guaranteed through establishment of a trust indenture represented by an association or trustees.
3.
Perimeter buffer requirements. Where a "PD-R" development proposes residential development along the perimeter of the site which is of higher density than the adjacent residential district, there shall be a minimum of a twenty (20) foot wide buffer area. The buffer area shall be free of buildings, structures or impervious surfaces and shall be permanent and landscaped or preserved with natural features so that the higher density residential development is visually screened from the lower density development. A minimum of one (1) tree shall be planted per thirty (30) lineal feet or fraction thereof for any frontage along the adjacent residential district. Required trees shall be at least two and one-half (2½) inch caliper. Trees existing within any required buffer area at the time of installation and which are larger than two and one-half (2½) inch caliper shall be preserved and will count toward the minimum landscaping requirements.
a.
Where a "PD-R" development abuts a commercial or industrial use or district, there shall be a minimum thirty (30) foot wide buffer area. This buffer area shall be permanent and landscaped with trees and shrubs and/or otherwise provided with screening (i.e., sightproof fencing) to effectively screen the commercial or industrial use from the "PD-R" development. A minimum of one (1) tree shall be planted per thirty (30) lineal feet or fraction thereof for any frontage along the adjacent residential district. Required trees shall be at least two and one-half (2½) inch caliper. Trees existing within any required buffer area at the time of installation and which are larger than two and one-half (2½) inch caliper shall be preserved and will count toward the minimum landscaping requirements.
b.
All landscaping shall be maintained in a neat, healthy, well maintained and weed free condition.
4.
Development phasing. If construction of the development is to occur in stages, then open space and/or recreational amenities should be developed in reasonable proportion to the number of dwelling units intended to be developed and to be served during any given stage of construction as approved on the final plat by the Board of Aldermen.
5.
Elevations required. For all "PD" developments, the applicant shall present to the City illustrations and/or elevations of proposed buildings within the development.
a.
Elevations in high-density subdivisions may be required to be varied on adjacent lots to prevent monotony.
6.
Use of professional consultants. In review of a preliminary or final development plan for approval, the Planning Commission and/or the Board of Aldermen may elect to utilize qualified technical personnel or professional consultants to provide traffic impact analysis, stormwater and erosion control, if applicable, based upon unique circumstances in excess of standard review or similar studies related to the proposed development. The cost of such professional assistance shall be borne by the applicant.
7.
Non-residential development. Non-residential uses permitted in the "PD" Planned District shall be subject to all the requirements for lot area, width, height, yards and setbacks of the district in which it was permitted unless modified by the ordinance adopted by the Board of Aldermen authorizing the planned development.
8.
Planned development — residential.
a.
Residential density. The purpose of a planned development is to allow modifications to development standards that cannot be achieved in conventional zoning districts. Proposed housing may be clustered and grouped to achieve or preserve open space and other amenities. The density of residential development shall be based upon the density limits of the existing residential districts. In no case shall the housing density exceed the limits of that permitted for the total site based upon the mapped residential districts, except as illustrated in Subsection (b) stated below.
b.
Density bonus.
(1)
The Board of Aldermen may approve an increase in the allowable density within a "PD-R" District upon dedication of land or equivalent cash contribution, under the specific guidelines listed, for the land acquisition, development and/or maintenance of a park site. The density bonus shall be calculated on the basis of the net development area, which excludes required right-of-way and required open space.
(2)
Based upon the average per acre density of the requested underlying zoning district, for every acre dedicated the development rights (residential density) for that acre can be transferred and provided upon another acre or spread throughout the net development area. For that same acre received in dedication, an applicant may be entitled to receive an additional thirty percent (30%) of the allowable density for each acre dedicated. This additional density may be provided elsewhere or spread throughout the net development area.
(3)
If a density bonus is requested, the applicant shall document all site amenities, improvements and location of additional lots for the City's review and consideration.
(4)
If a density bonus is requested through the dedication of land, the Board of Aldermen shall review the size and scope of the dedication and determine if the dedication fulfills the recreational needs of City residents.
(5)
When a density bonus is requested and where the City determines that the recreational needs of the residents of a proposed development or area of the City would be better served through the development of land outside of a proposed project boundary, or where a "PD" Planned Development is too small to include an adequate park site or available land is inappropriate for recreational uses, the subdivider or developer may pay a cash contribution in lieu of the land dedication equal to the land value as set forth in this paragraph. The cash contribution in lieu of parkland dedication shall be held by the City in a special fund and dispersed for the acquisition and development of parkland for the benefit of the future or current residents of such subdivision. The cash contribution in lieu of land dedication shall be equal to the average acquisition cost per acre of the development, plus an inflation factor based on a consumer price index for real estate from the date of purchase, that otherwise would have been dedicated as park land.
(6)
All lands dedicated shall be free from any liens or encumbrances. Depiction of property dedicated as permanent open space and/or recreational use on the final development plan shall guarantee the land remains permanently used for open space.
F.
