(a)

A planned district shall be for the purpose of permitting and regulating the uses previously cited in this title, and shall provide latitude and flexibility in location of buildings, structures, open spaces, play areas, parking, roads, and drives, and variations in setback and yard requirements. The planning commission shall consider each plan and make its recommendations to the city council, which shall then make a determination as to approval of the plan.

(b)

The site development plan must present a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and service facilities which shall have a functional relationship to the property comprising the planned development and the development shall not materially injure the property and the uses of the properties immediately adjacent to the proposed development.

(c)

Where zoning is changed based upon a preliminary plan, the final plan must be in substantial conformity with the preliminary plan. Substantial compliance shall permit slight variations in setbacks, yard and parking requirements, location and size of buildings, and ratios of building coverage to land area where conditions justify such changes. In the event there is more than a slight change in the plan, the plan must be resubmitted to the planning commission and reapproved by the city council.

(d)

Land may be zoned as district P (planned districts) by the city council on its own motion, without a site development plan, whenever it is felt that such land would be better developed or fulfill the intent of the city's land use and comprehensive plan development. The owner or developer of such land designated as district "P" (planned district) by the council shall submit a site development plan to the planning commission which must be approved by the city council before the land may be developed.

(Ord. No. 4.414, § 1, 1-22-2018)

The uses permitted in any planned district shall be the same as in the corresponding regular district. The requirements and standards found in corresponding regular districts shall apply to planned districts and subject to the variances provided for in section 7.160.010.
