Sec. 21. - P, planned development district.
(a)
Purpose. It is the intended purpose of this zoning district to provide for the unified and coordinated development of parcels or tracts of primarily vacant land. Certain freedom of choice as to intended land use, heights, yards, and areas shall be permitted, provided that the special requirements which may apply are complied with and that the intended uses are not in conflict with the general purpose and intent of either this ordinance or the comprehensive plan for the city.
(b)
Height, lot, and yard requirements. The height, lot and yard requirements shall conform to those requirements of the appropriate subsections of this ordinance for the appropriate intended use, except that modifications in these regulations may be granted if it shall be found that such modifications are in the public interest, are in harmony with the purposes of this ordinance, and will not adversely affect nearby properties.
(c)
Area requirements. For the purposes of this ordinance, the entire tract to be zoned P may be considered as one (1) building lot, or separate areas intended for separate land uses may be considered as separate building lots. Area requirements shall conform to those regulations for the appropriate intended use, except that for each seventy-five (75) dwelling units, one (1) acre of land shall be designated and appropriately developed as open or recreation space.
(d)
Site plan required. In establishing a planned development district in accordance with this section, the city council shall require a comprehensive site plan of the development. Such site plan shall be approved and filed as part of the ordinance prior to the issuance of any building permit in a planned development district. Such required plan and ordinance shall set forth the requirements for ingress and egress to the property, public or private streets or drives, with adequate right-of-way to conform to the thoroughfare plan of the city, sidewalks, utilities, drainage, parking, space, height of building, maximum lot coverage, dwelling unit densities, open spaces, schools, recreation, other community facilities, screening walls or fences and other development and protective requirements considered necessary to create a reasonable transition to and protection of the adjacent property.
(e)
Zoning amendment. Every planned development district approved under the provisions of this ordinance shall be considered as an amendment to the ordinance as applicable to the property involved. In approving the planned development district, the city council may impose conditions relative to the standard of development and such conditions shall be complied with before a certificate of occupancy is issued for the use of the land or any structure which is part of the planned development district, and such conditions shall not be construed as conditions precedent to the approval of the zoning amendment, but shall be construed as conditions precedent to the granting of a certificate of occupancy.
(f)
Special uses authorized by separate permit.
(1)
Temporary crisis shelter.
