PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGULATIONS
A PUD District may be proposed as a substitute district for any existing zoning district and may be initiated by the landowner or the City. The PUD process involves both a change in zoning and approval of PUD Plat. A PUD may be proposed for residential, business or industrial purposes or a combination of residential/business or business/industrial purposes.
There is no minimum district area requirement for a PUD provided that the Planning Commission and City Council find that the proposed PUD is of adequate size to be free-standing and self-sufficient and complies with the Purpose and Design Standards and Review Criteria based on the project specific development information provided.
Effective on: 1/1/1901
Effective on: 1/1/1901
Exterior – state the yard requirements for the underlying zoning district in which the PUD is located. The underlying zoning district’s setback requirements shall apply to all exterior boundary lines of the site.
Interior - as requested by applicant and approved by Planning Commission provided that a minimum distance of ten (10’) feet is maintained between detached structures.
Exterior – all exterior yard areas on the exterior boundary of the site shall provide landscaping, buffering and screening as required by the City Landscaping Ordinance. A Landscaping Plan must be submitted for review and approval as part of the PUD Plat.
Interior – all interior landscaping, buffering or screening shall be briefly described and shown in detail on the required Landscaping Plan submitted as part of the PUD Plat by the applicant for review and approval by Park Board and Planning Commission.
Interior lighting – describe the type and location of all interior lighting
Site Access – The PUD must provide adequate vehicular and pedestrian access to and within the site. A traffic impact analysis will be required to be submitted to project traffic impact generated by the uses proposed. Improvements required to streets adjacent to the proposed PUD, resulting from the traffic impact generated by the PUD, will be required to be mitigated by the applicant as a condition of approval of the PUD.
Public Streets – all interior streets intended for acceptance by the City for ownership and maintenance shall comply with City Design and Construction Standards for public streets.
Private Streets - all interior streets intended for private ownership and maintenance shall comply with City Design and Construction Standards for private streets. The proposed description and mechanism for ownership and maintenance of private streets shall be detailed.
Effective on: 1/1/1901
While not mandatory, the applicant is strongly advised to submit a concept or sketch plan and basic description of the proposed project in sufficient detail for the staff and Planning Commission to provide meaningful feedback and identify potential problems before expenses are incurred in the preparation of a preliminary PUD Plat. Comments or recommendations provided during the concept stage are tentative only, subject to modification as a result of information provided during later staff review or public hearing stages.
Applicants are required to schedule a meeting with the Parks Board for review and approval of their proposed open-space, common areas and landscaping plans prior to the Planning Commission taking action on a Preliminary PUD proposal.
All applicants for a PUD are required to submit a complete preliminary PUD plat application package, on forms provided by the Department of Community Development. A Planned Unit Development application consists of Preliminary PUD Plat and Draft Ordinance that describes the project goals and detailed responses to the Specific Development Standards section. The Preliminary PUD Plat and Draft Ordinance will be reviewed for completeness and compliance and scheduled for review and action by the Planning Commission.
After review and approval by the Planning Commission of a Preliminary PUD Plat and draft Ordinance, an applicant can file a Final Planned Unit Development application consisting of a PUD Plat and Ordinance that is in compliance with the approved Preliminary PUD Plat and Draft Ordinance. The Planning Commission will review and recommend approval of the PUD Plat and Ordinance if it is in substantial compliance with the approved Preliminary PUD Plat and Draft Ordinance. Final PUD Plats and Ordinance are forwarded to the City Council for official approval.
A planned unit development may be final platted in phases. The final plat or plats of the planned unit development shall conform substantially to the approved preliminary plat and stated phasing schedule for the planned unit development. Only that area covered by the Final PUD Plat will have the PUD district designation established.
Once the Council approves a PUD Plat and Ordinance, the PUD Zoning District is established and the PUD Plat may be filed at Courthouse. The approved Final PUD Plat and Ordinance controls the issuance of building permits. The PUD must be developed in accordance with approved PUD Plat Ordinance. The PUD development is subject to the same 18 month completion time frame from date of Council approval and posting of financial security guaranteeing completion of required infrastructure as a conventional subdivision plat as described in the City of Gillette’s Subdivision Regulations. The PUD Plat does not take effect until it is recorded in the records of the Campbell County Clerk.

DECLARATION VACATING PREVIOUS PLATTING
This PUD plat is the resubdivision of (subdivision or portion of subdivision being resubdivided) , as recorded in Book _____ of Plats, Page _____, of the records of the Campbell County Clerk. All earlier plats or portions thereof, encompassed by the boundaries of this PUD plat are hereby vacated.
Within a reasonable time after receiving the recommendations of the Planning Commission, along with the Final PUD Plat and accompanying materials, the City Council shall either approve the Final PUD Plat or disapprove the Final PUD Plat and notify the subdivider of the conditions to be met to gain approval. If a disapproved Final PUD Plat is modified and resubmitted to the City Council at a later date for their consideration, the Council may require the concurrent submittal of an updated ownership and encumbrance report or title opinion.
If the PUD plat is to be recorded in the records of the County Clerk prior to acceptance by the City of all required public improvements and/or approval by the City Engineer of completed private streets and utilities, appropriate security guaranteeing the proper and timely completion of such improvements shall be provided. A performance and payment bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, funds in escrow or other suitable commitment, as approved by the City Attorney, shall constitute appropriate security. The security shall be for not less than seventy five percent (75%) of the cost of improvements, as estimated by the subdivider's engineer and approved by the City Engineer. The security shall be accompanied by a standard contract on forms provided, executed by the subdivider, providing for completion and approval of all improvements within a period not exceeding eighteen (18) months from the date of approval of the Final PUD Plat by the City Council. The security shall provide for its release, only after acceptance of secured public improvements by the City or after approval of completed private streets, improvements and/or utilities by the City Engineer, as the case may be.
As an alternate procedure, and at the request of the subdivider, the City Council may grant conditional approval to a Final PUD Plat and instruct the Department to withhold the plat from recording for a period of time to allow the subdivider to install all of the required improvements, according to the plans and specifications approved by the City Engineer. An executed, standard contract, as approved by the City Attorney regarding installation of improvements, shall still be submitted with the final plat. The contract shall require that all improvements be completed and approved by the City Engineer, according to the requirements specified in these regulations within a period not to exceed eighteen (18) months from the date the Final PUD Plat was conditionally approved by the City Council. If required by the City Engineer, the subdivider shall also submit with the final plat a signed and acknowledged instrument, in recordable form, dedicating to the City those easements shown on the PUD plat which may be needed in advance of the PUD Plat being recorded. The subdivider shall also agree to cooperate with the City Engineer in the necessary inspections of the construction of PUD improvements. When the completed improvements are inspected and approved by the City Engineer (and if proposed for City maintenance, accepted by the City), the PUD plat shall be recorded and the sale of lots may proceed according to the approved and recorded PUD plat. The developer is responsible for all PUD plat recording fees. In the event of default by the subdivider on the terms of the contract, the City Council may repeal the approval of the PUD plat.
A subdivider who has received conditional approval of a final PUD plat may elect to proceed to file the Final PUD Plat by posting appropriate security in the amount of the total cost of the remaining public improvements. Upon posting the security and executing a standard contract, as previously described, the PUD plat shall be deemed approved for filing and development shall proceed. The security and standard contract shall provide for its release of the security, only after acceptance of secured public improvements by the City or after approval of completed private streets and utilities by the City Engineer.
Effective on: 1/1/1901
Until the PUD Plat is recorded, minor changes in the location, setting, alignment, or character of buildings and structures, type or placement of plant material may be authorized administratively by the community development director if it becomes necessary due to circumstances not reasonably foreseen at the time the final PUD Plat was approved. No change authorized by the planning director may increase the size of any building or structure by more than five percent (5%), nor change the location of buildings or structures by more than five feet (5’) in any direction. Other requests for minor revisions will be referred to the appropriate city department for review and approval. If changes to the Plat or support documents are required, new drawings will be required to be submitted that incorporate the approved change. Approved changes are to be incorporated into the Final PUD Plat.
All other alterations or modifications in the use, intent, rearrangement of lots, realignment of major circulation patterns, density levels, provisions governing common or open space, modification to infrastructure design, or any other alterations that in the opinion of the community development director substantially changes the PUD from what was approved, constitutes an amendment and the Final PUD Plat must be revised and re-submitted, reviewed and approved on the same basis as the original PUD Plat submittal including re-approval by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
After a Final PUD Plat is filed and recorded with the Campbell County Clerk, the only recourse, if changes are desired, is to resubmit the PUD Plat for review and approval. All revised PUD Plats submitted for re-approval shall be titled as an Amended PUD Plat and require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council.
