Sec. 14-5-15. - Overlay zoning districts—BIZ, PAD, and DMP.

(a)

Purpose and Intent. The purpose of these overlay districts is to provide for unique developments worthy of flexibility or variation from the specific application of this chapter. The intent of the Bonus Intensity Zone (BIZ), Planned Area Development (PAD), and Development Master Plan (DMP) Districts is to encourage quality-designed developments in appropriate locations in conformance with the general plan, specific plans, and Council policies. In the PAD and DMP Overlay Zones, variations from conventional development requirements, such as building height, setbacks, and on-site parking may be authorized by the City Council where projects offer amenities, features, or conditions which compensate for such variations. The BIZ Overlay Zone also allows for the above variations in addition to increased residential densities. The following further delineates the overlay zoning district classifications:

(1)

Bonus Intensity Zone, (BIZ). The purpose of this overlay zoning district is to provide for variation from the application of residential densities and other development requirements to encourage unique, innovative developments of superior quality. The intent of this district is to allow for higher-intensity land use where appropriate and to encourage development of bypassed or under-utilized properties in locations where appropriate facilities and services are available. It must be demonstrated that the resulting development will be more consistent with the general plan, specific plans, and Council policies and will provide significant social or economic benefits to the City.

(2)

Planned Area Development, (PAD). The purpose of this overlay zoning district is to allow for innovative design and flexibility in projects which are planned for development as a cohesive unit. The intent of this district is to provide for creative, high quality development which incorporates the following:

a.

Substantial open space and/or recreational facilities held in common ownership.

b.

Private or public streets.

c.

The preservation of significant aspects of the natural character of the land.

d.

Building design, site design, and amenities that create a unique alternative to conventional development.

e.

Property owners' associations and recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions.

(3)

Development Master Plan, (DMP). The purpose of this overlay zoning district is to allow for conceptual zoning of large land parcels into planned uses for future development. The intent is to allow for both specific site plan zoning for immediate project development as well as conceptual development plans with specific site plans deferred to the time of future project development.

(b)

Use Regulations.

(1)

Permitted Uses.

a.

The BIZ, PAD, and DMP Overlay Zoning Districts are to be used in conjunction with an underlying zoning district, thereby permitting the same uses as the underlying base zoning district, except those that may be excluded by the City Council.

b.

Permitted uses other than those above shall be specified in a PAD, and as approved by City Council.

(2)

Prohibited Uses.

a.

Those uses that may be specifically excluded by the City Council as part of the overlay zoning approval.

(3)

Uses Subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Uses subject to a conditional use permit shall be in accordance with the administration and procedures provision of this chapter and those conditional uses specified in the underlying base zoning district.

(c)

Property Development Standards.

(1)

Density, Area, Building, and Yard Regulations.

a.

The minimum site area for a PAD shall be five acres and for a DMP, 40 acres. The Zoning Administrator may permit PAD applications for less land area when exceptional and unique circumstances of the proposal are found to warrant such flexibility.

b.

The specified minimum lot area, maximum density, maximum building height, minimum setbacks, and maximum lot coverage for each underlying zoning district is required, unless specifically modified by the City Council.

(d)

Supplementary Provisions.

(1)

Land developed under this section may consist of individual lots or may have common building sites.

(2)

Common open space shall be an essential and major element of the plan. Open areas should provide an efficient, aesthetic, and desirable usage.

(3)

Every structure containing residential, commercial, or industrial units shall have access to a public street, directly or via a court, walkway, or other common area, which shall be owned and maintained as common ground.

(e)

Design Guidelines, Landscaping and Screening Regulations. Shall be as authorized in the approved site plan under Section 14-9-5.

(f)

Sign Regulations and Parking Regulations. Shall be as provided in this Code and the approved site plan.

(g)

Application and Procedure for Overlay Districts.

(1)

Application. Requests for overlay zoning districts shall follow the same procedures specified for zoning amendments in the administration and procedures sections hereof.

(2)

Modifications to Plans. Changes to the approved development plan shall be reviewed and processed in accordance with the provisions specified in the administration and procedures provision sections hereof.

(3)

Building Permits and Regulations.

a.

An approved development may be built in phases as part of the project's plan, provided that the construction and provision of all necessary elements, including parking drainage, common open spaces, and public and recreational facilities, which are shown on the approved site plan proceed at a rate commensurate with the construction of buildings. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the rate of building construction is not commensurate with the construction of the aforementioned necessary elements, he/she shall notify the developer that no permits for building construction will be issued until the rate of construction conforms accordingly. Failure to comply with the terms of this section in a timely manner following notification shall result in all building construction being halted until compliance is restored.

b.

When the project has been completed, the use of the land and the construction, modification, or alteration of any buildings or structures within the development shall remain in conformance with the development plan, except that any minor extension, alteration, or modification of existing buildings or structures may be authorized by the Zoning Administrator or Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with the administration and procedures sections hereof if they are consistent with the purpose and intent of the approved development plan.

Sec. 14-5-16. - (R1-MH) Manufactured Home Overlay District.

(a)

Purpose and Intent. Except for the manufactured and modular home parks, duly established, there was no zoning district in which manufactured and modular homes may be located as a permitted use at the time of adoption of the original zoning ordinance (June 1998). Such homes exist as "non-conforming" structures/uses within some single-family residential districts. This R1-MH Overlay District has been established because there is a need for alternative housing to replace some residences within some residential districts. Further, there may be other structures within the R1-MH District which may not be replaced or lots which may not be utilized unless alternative housing is made available. Therefore, the R1-MH District has been established so multi-sectional manufactured or modular housing may be installed in a manner which would give said home the appearance of a conventional site-built home.

(b)

Use Regulations.

(1)

Permitted Uses.

a.

Any use permitted in the R1-9 and R1-6 District.

b.

Multi-sectional manufactured or modular home installed pursuant to the provisions of this section as a single-family home.

One-family uses on lots of one acre in size or greater may keep and maintain up to two horses per acre of lot area. The horses shall only be kept and maintained on the property for non-commercial purposes and for the enjoyment of the occupants of the property.

(2)

Prohibited Uses in R1-MH District.

a.

Same as primary district (existing classifications) which this R1-MH District overlays, except for permitted uses set forth above.

(3)

Uses Subject to Conditional Use Permit.

a.

Same as underlying district which this R1-MH District overlays.

(c)

Property Development Standards. Unless otherwise permitted in this chapter, all buildings, structures, premises and property in the R1-MH Overlay Zoning District shall meet the following property development standards:

(1)

Lot Area. Lots within the R1-MH Zoning District shall have a minimum area of 3,000 square feet.

(2)

Lot Dimensions. Lots within the R1-MH Zoning District shall have the following minimum dimensions:

a.

Minimum Width: 30 feet.

b.

Minimum Depth: 70 feet.

(3)

Density and Intensity. There shall be not more than one single-family dwelling on any one lot.

(4)

Maximum Height. Twenty-six feet beginning with the main floor level.

(5)

Setback Requirements. Buildings and structures erected in the R1-MH Zoning Districts shall be setback a minimum distance from the property boundary lines in order to provide for front, rear, and side yards. These minimum distances shall be as follows:

a.

Front Yard: Minimum 20 feet.

b.

Side Yard: Minimum five feet each side except corner lots shall have ten feet on exterior side.

c.

Rear Yard: Minimum ten feet with reasonable access.

(6)

Design and Development.

a.

Walls, fences and hedges not to exceed eight feet in height shall be permitted on the property line or within the required side or rear yard. Walls, fences and hedges shall not exceed three feet in height on the front property line or within the required front yard except as otherwise provided in this Code. The height of the wall or fence is measured from inside the enclosure.

(d)

Additional Requirements for Manufactured Home Installation/Construction.

(1)

A building permit shall be required prior to commencement of construction or installation of any structure including a manufactured home or modular home (MH) in this district.

(2)

No building permit may be issued for any manufactured home unless the home was manufactured in compliance with applicable Arizona and Federal laws within six years of the date of application for the building permit to install same.

(3)

No structure or home authorized in this section may be occupied or inhabited until such time as the Building Official has issued a "certificate of occupancy" certifying that the construction and/or installation has fully complied with all applicable codes and all provisions of this section.

(4)

No MH shall be erected or maintained within the City pursuant to this section which has a livable space of less than 940 square feet or width of less than 20 feet, excluding carports and porch areas.

(5)

No more than one single-family dwelling shall be placed on a lot or parcel. Each lot or parcel shall meet all minimum square footage and dimension requirements of the district/area in which the MH is located.

(6)

Except as preempted in A.R.S. § 41-2155, the MH shall be placed or constructed upon a lot or parcel within the City in compliance with all applicable building or installation codes and shall be permanently affixed and placed upon a permanent foundation by a certified/licensed installer.

(9)

All re-roofing, residing, or other structural additions or changes to the home shall conform to the building codes of the City. The roof shall have a pitch of not less than 12 inches for each four feet of width.

(10)

Unless the topography of a particular lot precludes it, the MH shall be installed no higher from grade than 18 inches (from ground to frame) on the highest side; and not more than 12 inches on the low side. The Building Official is authorized to approve minor deviation from the height requirement after inspection of the property to determine such deviation is necessary because of lot conformity.

(11)

The MH shall be placed on excavated foundation with permanent foundation wall, or if permanent foundation wall is not installed, all sides of home shall extend to meet the ground, or a facade shall be used on all sides so that the home appears to have a foundation wall similar in appearance and kind to conventional site-built homes. One of the following skirting options must be utilized on the MH:

a.

Non-bearing concrete or CMU block perimeter stem wall. This wall must be reinforced and have vents per building code requirements.

b.

Ground set or pit set. This eliminates the need for siding and skirting, but may be difficult to do because of flood control district requirements on the finish floor elevation.

c.

Stem wall foundation (bearing). This must be according to the manufacturer's installation requirements and meet minimum building code standards.

(12)

A multi-sectional manufactured home shall have a minimum of four tie downs/anchors. All manufactured homes allowed to be installed pursuant to a conditional use permit shall have one on each end.

(13)

The homeowner must file and record an affidavit of a fixture with the Gila County Assessor and Recorder Offices within 90 days of completion of installation and file a copy with the Zoning Administrator.
