§ 30 PD – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

30.1

GENERAL PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION:

The City Council of the City of Hutchins, Texas, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected and after recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, may authorize the creation of a Planned Development district.

The Planned Development (PD) district is a district which accommodates planned associations of uses developed as integral land use units such as industrial districts, office parks, retail/commercial or service centers, shopping centers, residential developments having a mixture of housing options (e.g., single-family, multifamily, duplex, etc.), or any appropriate combination of uses which may be planned, developed or operated as integral land use units either by a single owner or a combination of owners. A PD district may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts in this Ordinance. While greater flexibility is given to allow special conditions or restrictions which would not otherwise allow the development to occur, procedures are established herein to ensure against misuse of increased flexibility.

30.2

PERMITTED USES:

An application for a PD district shall specify the use or the combination of uses proposed. PD designations shall not be attached to SUP requirements. Specific Use Permits are allowed in a PD only if specifically identified at the time of PD approval, and if specifically cited as an “additional use” in the ordinance establishing the PD.

30.3

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS:

Development requirements for each separate PD district shall be set forth in the amending ordinance granting the PD district and shall include, but may not be limited to: uses, density, lot area, lot width, lot depth, yard depths and widths, building height, building elevations, coverage, floor area ratio, parking, access, screening, landscaping, accessory buildings, signs, lighting, project phasing or scheduling, management associations, and other requirements in existing zoning districts as the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission may deem appropriate.

In the PD district, uses may be required to conform to the standards and regulations of a zoning district to which it is most similar. The zoning district shall be stated in the granting ordinance. All applications to the City shall list all requested deviations from the standard requirements set forth throughout this Ordinance (applications without this list will be considered incomplete). The Planned Development district shall conform to all other regulations of the zoning district, as well as all other sections of the Zoning Ordinance, unless specifically changed or excluded in the ordinance establishing the PD.

The ordinance granting a PD district shall include a statement as to the purpose and intent of the PD granted therein. A specific list is required of modifications in each district or districts and general statement citing the reason for the PD request.

The minimum acreage for a planned development request shall be one (1) acre.

30.4

In establishing a Planned Development district in accordance with this Section, the City Council shall approve and file as part of the amending ordinance appropriate plans and standards for each Planned Development district. To facilitate understanding of the request during the review and public hearing process, the concurrent submission of a Concept Plan for a proposed nonresidential, multifamily, manufactured (mobile) home, or residential (i.e., single- or two-family) project shall be required along with the PD zoning application. A detailed Site Plan (or a Preliminary Plat in the case of a residential PD; see the Subdivision Ordinance for submission requirements) may be submitted in lieu of the Concept Plan if the applicant prefers to do so, and if the applicant wishes to expend the resources/funds necessary to prepare a complete detailed Site Plan (or Preliminary Plat) submission (i.e., detailed engineering/architectural plans, etc.; see Section 12).

Concept Plan -

This plan shall be submitted by the applicant at the time of the PD request. The plan shall show the applicant’s intent for the use of the land within the proposed Planned Development district in a graphic manner and, as may be required, supported by written documentation of proposals and standards for development. The City may prepare application form(s) which further describe and explain the following requirements:

Residential Concept Plan -

A Residential Concept Plan (a Preliminary Plat may serve as the Residential Concept Plan; see the Subdivision Ordinance for submission requirements) shall be submitted with any residential PD zoning request for a development comprised of single-family (detached or attached) or two-family (duplex) dwellings on individually platted lots, and shall show general uses, phasing of the development, access, thoroughfares, alleys (if proposed), preliminary lot arrangements, proposed densities, proposed screening, landscaped or private amenity areas, project scheduling, and other pertinent development data.

Nonresidential or Multifamily Concept Plan -

A Concept Plan shall be submitted with any nonresidential, multifamily, or manufactured (mobile) home PD zoning request, and shall clearly show all pertinent aspects of the type and nature of the proposed development. The Concept Plan shall show the types of use(s) proposed; access, topography and boundaries of the PD area; existing physical features of the site; existing and proposed streets, alleys, easements and lot lines; location of existing or proposed public facilities; building heights and locations; parking areas and ratios; fire lanes; screening and landscaped areas; project phasing and scheduling; and other pertinent development data to adequately describe the proposed development.

A detailed Site Plan (i.e., Development Plan) shall be submitted for approval (in accordance with Subsection B below, and with Section 12 of this Ordinance) within one (1) year from the approval date of the Concept Plan for all or some portion/lot of the Planned Development covered by the overall Concept Plan. If a detailed Site Plan is not submitted within one (1) year, then the Concept Plan will be deemed to be expired. A new Concept Plan (along with a zoning application to amend the PD ordinance and its accompanying Concept Plan) must be submitted for review and approval prior to detailed Site Plan review/approval (and any subsequent issuance of a building permit) for any portion of the PD district.

Site Plan

(Development Plan) - Submission and approval of the detailed Site Plan shall be in accordance with Section 12 of this Ordinance, and shall accompany an application for Planned Development zoning if the applicant prefers to submit the detailed Site Plan in lieu of the required Concept Plan. The detailed Site Plan will establish the final plans for development of the Planned Development district (or any portion/lot thereof), and it shall substantially conform to the site layout and development data approved on the Concept Plan (adopted along with the PD ordinance). If a Concept Plan was previously approved for the overall PD district, then a detailed Site Plan (along with the required engineering/architectural site construction plans) may be submitted for only the sections/lots that are proposed for immediate development rather than for the entire PD. If no Concept Plan was approved with the ordinance establishing the PD, then a detailed Site Plan (along with the required engineering/architectural site construction plans) must be submitted for the entire PD, even though only portions of it are proposed for immediate development.

For any single- or two-family residential district (A, SF-10, SF-8.5, SF-7, SF-PH, D or SFA), a Preliminary Plat shall qualify as the detailed Site Plan (Development Plan).

30.5

APPROVAL PROCESS AND PROCEDURE:

The procedure for establishing a Planned Development zoning district shall follow the procedures for zoning amendments as set forth in Section 10 of this Ordinance. This procedure shall be expanded to include concurrent consideration and approval (or denial) of the Concept Plan or the detailed Site Plan (or Preliminary Plat for a residential PD) which is submitted along with the PD zoning request application. The public hearings conducted for, and the subsequent actions taken upon, the PD zoning request shall also include the accompanying Concept Plan or detailed Site Plan/Preliminary Plat.

The ordinance establishing the Planned Development zoning district shall not be approved (or adopted) until the accompanying Concept Plan or detailed Site Plan/Preliminary Plat is approved by the City Council, and until all other procedural requirements set forth in Section 10 are satisfied.

30.6

All Planned Development zoning districts approved in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance in its original form, or by subsequent amendments thereto, shall be prefixed by a “PD” designation and assigned a unique identification number (e.g., PD-1, PD-2, and so on), and shall also be referenced on the Zoning District Map. A list of such Planned Development districts, showing the uses permitted and any other special stipulations of each PD district, shall be maintained as part of this Ordinance.

30.7

PRIOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES REMAINING IN EFFECT:

Prior to adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council previously established certain Planned Development districts, some of which are to be continued in full force and effect. The ordinances or parts of ordinances approved prior to this Ordinance, specified in Appendix A-1, shall be carried forth in full force and effect and are the conditions, restrictions, regulations and requirements which apply to the respective Planned Development districts shown on the Zoning District Map as of the effective date of this Ordinance. Each prior PD ordinance is hereby assigned a unique identification number (e.g., PD-1, PD-2, and so on) as shown in Appendix A1, and subsequent PD ordinances adopted after the effective date of this Ordinance shall be similarly numbered for identification purposes.

For all Planned Development districts established prior to adoption of this Ordinance which do not have a Concept Plan or Site Plan/Preliminary Plat approved for the site/parcel or tract, a Concept Plan and a detailed Site Plan must be approved as stated in Section 30.4 above (and pursuant to Section 12 of this Ordinance, if applicable) prior to development of the property.

§ 31 SUP – SPECIFIC USE PERMITS.

31.1

SPECIFIC USES:

The purpose of this district is to allow certain uses within base zoning districts that, under most circumstances, would not be compatible with other permitted uses but with certain conditions and development restrictions may be compatible.

The City Council by an affirmative vote may, after public hearing and proper notice (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10) to all parties affected, and after recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission that the uses are in general conformance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and with general objectives of the City, and containing such requirements and safeguards as are necessary to protect adjoining property, authorize certain uses by a Specific Use Permit (SUP). As a zoning action, issuance of an SUP shall only apply to real property (i.e., shall not be attached to any person, business entity, etc.), shall not be transferred from one property to another (i.e., shall not move if a business operation relocates), and shall not expire without proper zoning action to rescind the SUP (i.e., change the zoning to remove the SUP, with appropriate public notification, public hearing, etc.).

A zoning application for an SUP shall be accompanied by a metes and bounds description and a survey (i.e., drawing) exhibit showing the property for which the SUP is being requested, and by a site plan (see Section 12) drawn to scale and showing the general arrangement of the project, together with essential requirements such as off-street parking facilities; size, height, construction materials, and locations of buildings and the uses to be allowed; location and construction of signs; means of ingress and egress to public streets; the type of visual screening such as walls, plantings and fences; and the relationship of the intended use to all existing properties and land uses in all directions to a minimum distance of two hundred feet (200'). The City shall make available application forms specifying drawing requirements. The City Administrator (or his/her designee), Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council may require additional information or drawings (such as building floor plans), operating data and expert evaluation or testimony concerning the location, function and characteristics of any building or use proposed. The site plan shall be reviewed and approved along with the SUP zoning application, and in accordance with Section 12 of this Ordinance.

31.2

SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REGULATIONS:

In recommending that a Specific Use Permit for the premises under consideration be granted, the City shall determine that such uses are harmonious and adaptable to building structures and uses of abutting property and other property in the vicinity of the premises under consideration, and shall make recommendations as to requirements for the paving of streets, alleys and sidewalks, means of ingress and egress to public streets, provisions for drainage, adequate off-street parking, screening and open space, heights of structures, and compatibility of buildings. In approving a requested SUP, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may consider any or all of the following:

The use is harmonious and compatible with surrounding existing uses or proposed uses;

The activities requested by the applicant are normally associated with the permitted uses in the base district;

The nature of the use is reasonable;

Any negative impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated;

That any additional conditions specified ensure that the intent of the district purposes are being upheld;

The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent development and neighborhoods and, as required by the particular circumstances, includes improvements or modifications either on site or within the public rights-of-way to mitigate development-related adverse impacts, including but not limited to:

Adequate ingress and egress to property and proposed structures thereon with particular reference to vehicular and pedestrian safety and convenience, and access in case of fire;

Off-street parking and loading areas;

Refuse and service areas;

Utilities with reference to location, availability, and compatibility;

Screening and buffering, features to minimize visual impacts, and/or set-backs from adjacent uses;

Control of signs, if any, and proposed exterior lighting with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and harmony with properties in the district;

Required yards and open space;

Height and bulk of structures;

Hours of operation;

Exterior construction material, building design and building facade treatment;

Roadway adjustments, traffic control devices or mechanisms, and access restrictions to control traffic flow or divert traffic as may be needed to reduce or eliminate development-generated traffic on neighborhood streets;

Provision for pedestrian access, amenities and areas; and

The proposed use is not materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience and welfare, or results in material damage or prejudice to other property in the vicinity.

In granting a Specific Use Permit, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may impose conditions which shall be complied with by the owner or grantee before a certificate of occupancy may be issued by the Building Official, or his/her designee, for use of the building on such property pursuant to such Specific Use Permit and such conditions precedent to the granting of the certificate of occupancy. Any special conditions shall be set forth in writing by the City Council prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, and shall be incorporated into the amending ordinance establishing the SUP.

A building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be applied for (following site plan approval) and secured within one (1) year from the time of granting the Specific Use Permit, provided however, that the City Council may authorize an extension of up to one (1) additional year. After the one-year period (and the extension, if such has been granted by City Council) has elapsed, the SUP’s site plan shall be deemed to be expired. The applicant/property owner(s) must then submit a new site plan for approval prior to any construction or to application for a building permit for the area designated for the Specific Use Permit. The new site plan must be resubmitted for review and approval in accordance with Section 12 of this Ordinance.

No building, premises, or land used under a Specific Use Permit may be enlarged, modified, structurally altered, or otherwise significantly changed unless an amended Specific Use Permit is granted for such enlargement, modification, structural alteration, or change. Uses should only be for the specific use(s) authorized in the ordinance granting the SUP.

Only minor changes or alterations to the building itself (i.e., those that do not involve the addition of land area covered by the SUP or modification of any special stipulations adopted in the ordinance granting the SUP, either of which must be done using the procedures outlined in Section 10) may be approved by the City Administrator, or his/her designee.

The Zoning Board of Adjustments shall not have jurisdiction to hear, review, reverse, or modify any decision, determination, or ruling with respect to the specific land use designated by any Specific Use Permit.

When the City Council authorizes granting of a Specific Use Permit, the Zoning District Map shall be amended according to its legend to indicate that the affected area has conditional and limited uses, and said amendment is to indicate the zoning district for the approved use and prefixed by a “SUP”, or “S” designation followed by the identification number assigned to that particular SUP (e.g., S-1, S-2, S-3, and so on). A list of all issued SUPs, showing the uses permitted and any other special stipulations of each SUP, shall be maintained as part of this Ordinance.

31.3

USE REGULATIONS:

Uses allowed by SUP are specified in Section 32 (Use Charts).

31.4

EXPIRATION AND EXTENSION:

Termination of approval of a site plan associated with an SUP for failure to commence development and extension of the time for performance for a site plan associated with an SUP shall be governed by Section 12 of this Ordinance.

31.5

PRIOR SUP ORDINANCES REMAINING IN EFFECT:

Prior to adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council had established various SUPs, some of which are to be continued in full force and effect. The permits or parts of permits approved prior to this Ordinance, and specified in Appendix A-2, shall be carried forth in full force and effect and are the conditions, restrictions, regulations and requirements which apply to the respective Specific Use Permits shown on the Zoning District Map as of the effective date of this Ordinance. Each prior SUP ordinance is hereby assigned a unique identification number (e.g., S-1, S-2, S-3, and so on) as shown in Appendix A-2, and subsequent SUP ordinances adopted after the effective date of this Ordinance shall be similarly numbered for identification purposes.
