Sec 90-661 Intent

  1. This article provides enabling authority and standards for the submission, review, and approval of applications for planned unit developments. It is the intent of this article to authorize the consideration and use of planned unit development regulations for the following purposes:
    1. To encourage the use of land in accordance with its character and adaptability.
    2. To promote the conservation of natural features and resources.
    3. To encourage innovation in land use planning and development.
    4. To promote the enhancement of housing, employment, shopping, traffic circulation, and recreational opportunities for the people of the city.
    5. To promote and ensure greater compatibility of design and use between neighboring properties.
    6. To provide for the regulation of legal land uses not otherwise authorized within this chapter.
  2. The provisions of this article are not intended as a device for ignoring this chapter or the planning upon which it has been based. To that end, provisions of this article are intended to result in land use development substantially consistent with the City of Hastings Master Plan, with modifications and departures from generally applicable site development requirements made in accordance with standards provided in this article may be permitted to achieve the intent of the article. A planned unit development must comply with this article.

(Code 1970, § 3.291; Ord. No. 352, § I, 7-22-02)

Sec 90-662 PUD Authorization

A planned unit development may be approved in any location within the city by the council. Any land use authorized in this article may be included in a planned unit development, as a principal or accessory use, as well as any other legal land use not otherwise authorized in this article, subject to adequate public health, safety and welfare protection mechanisms being designed into the development, and the following provisions of this article.

(Code 1970, § 3.292)

Sec 90-663 Qualifying Conditions

  1. In order to be eligible for PUD rezoning, the proposed area shall consist of a minimum of one acre.
  2. Public water and sanitary sewer shall be available to service the site.

    6
    MFL(A2), MFH(A1), A/O(AO)
    16
    In each case, the maximum density for residential uses shall be determined by the council after review by the planning commission based on the following standards. The residential uses shall:
    1. Be designed, constructed, and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such a use will not change the essential character of the area in which it is proposed.
    2. Be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, such as highways, streets, pedestrian ways, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer.
    3. Not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services.
    4. Be developed in accordance with the intent for a PUD as contained in this article.
  2. Dwelling unit computation. The density permitted by the council shall be applied to the net development area of the site in order to determine the maximum number of dwelling units permitted for the site. The net development area is determined by subtracting the following from the gross or total site area:
    1. Area within existing road rights-of-way.
    2. Land within the 100-year floodplain.
    3. Areas permanently inundated by water.
    4. Areas devoted to nonresidential uses.
  3. Open space. Each PUD shall contain open space areas equal to minimum of ten percent of the total site area devoted to residential use. Such open space shall be maintained by the developer or homeowner's association and shall be set aside for the common use of the home or lot owners within the PUD with written assurances that the required open space shall remain open and be properly maintained. For purposes of this section, open space shall only be considered to be those areas having a minimum dimension 50 feet by 100 feet. Land in streets, sidewalks, and parking areas shall not be considered as open space.
  4. Mixed uses.
    1. Residential and nonresidential uses may be permitted within the same PUD district upon demonstration to the city council that such uses meet the intent of this article and the standards of section 90-663(b). It shall also be demonstrated that the nonresidential uses will not negatively impact the residential uses and that the nonresidential uses will be separated and buffered from residential uses in a manner consistent with good land planning principles.
    2. The permitted density for residential uses in a mixed use development shall be determined by the council upon recommendation of the planning commission, based on the type of dwelling unit proposed and the standards contained in subsection (a) of this section.

(Code 1970, § 3.294; Ord. No. 352, § II, 7-22-02)

Sec 90-665 Applicable Regulations

The ordinance authorizing the PUD must list those zoning ordinance requirements which are modified.

(Code 1970, § 3.295; Ord. No. 352, § III, 7-22-02)

Sec 90-666 PUD Design Considerations
