Section 405.210 "PUD" Planned Unit Development District.

[R.O. 1994 § 405.210; Ord. No. 2011-10,[1] 5-24-2011]

Purpose. The Planned Unit Development ("PUD") provides for project variety and diversity in any future land use category through the process established in this Section. Special consideration will be given to development applications which do not abut existing residential neighborhoods. Development flexibility is provided in exchange for ongoing community benefits that achieve the following purposes:

To encourage a mix of different land uses which result in:

Commercial, office, recreational and educational facilities conveniently located to residential uses;

Economic benefits to the public due to efficient use of land and of public and private services;

Lessen the burden of traffic on streets, roads and highways;

Commercial, institutional and employment based land uses, accessible to residential land uses by multiple modes of transportation, including walking, biking, transit or automobiles; or

Increased public open spaces in higher density residential and mixed-use settings.

To encourage innovations in residential, commercial, recreational and industrial development and redevelopment which:

Results in better management of or reduction in the environmental impacts of development on the surrounding community; or

Relates the type, design and layout of residential, commercial, recreational and industrial development to the particular site, thereby encouraging preservation of important natural and environmental characteristics of the site.

To allow flexibility in the application of the zoning requirements regarding bulk, setbacks, lot sizes and open space due to unique physical conditions of a particular site while ensuring that such flexibility will not be used in a manner that distorts the objectives of these regulations.

Open Space And Screening. If by majority vote of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and subsequently a majority vote of the Board of Aldermen, or separately by a majority vote of the Board of Aldermen, it is their decision that open space and setbacks requirements are not sufficiently met by the uniqueness of the plan and the total plan provisions to common space, integrity between uses and provisions for amenities, then the following provisions may be required:

Open Space. A residential planned unit development shall be required to reserve not less than twenty percent (20%) of the total planned land area for usable open space.

Screening. In cases where businesses or industrial uses abut a residential district or residences in a "PUD," screening shall be provided adjacent to said district or residences.

Traffic Study. The City may also require a traffic study by a competent traffic engineer and subsequent fees for such service by the applicant. Such service, where required, would include the estimated cost for such service to be deposited in advance of consideration and subsequent final approval of the plan.

Damage Deposit. The City may also require a damage deposit for repairs, should the City deem that construction activity is apt to cause street or other infrastructure damage during construction. Either an insurance bond or deposit, for the estimated exposure, shall be acceptable, should the City require such.

Landscaping. As greenery and natural viewscape is a valuable consideration and preservation of community values, low maintenance landscaping and such type scapes will undergo a critical review and may not be approved as part of a "PUD" plan.

Fees. The fee for any "PUD" application shall be an amount as set forth in Section 405.920 of this Chapter.

Minimum District Size. A site proposed for a planned unit development shall contain a contiguous area of ten (10) acres or more. Property is contiguous if all parts are under unified control and abut or are separated only by a road, easement or right-of-way.

District Additions. Additions to existing planned unit developments shall have no minimum size provided that:

The addition is contiguous with the original planned unit development;

The addition can be fully integrated in function, operation and aesthetics into the original planned unit development; and

The addition is subject to all approval standards of the original planned unit development.

Shoreline Preservation. In addition to minimum standards for district size, there shall also be a minimum setback requirement of one hundred (100) feet from the six-hundred-sixty-foot contour level for permanent building for those applications abutting the Lake of the Ozarks. The setback area may be used for such purposes as non-roofed common areas, such as pools and green space. Irrigation facilities or roofed, open condolas may be considered contingent on size approval by the Board. The setback area shall also include and be required to maintain a minimum ten (10) four-inch-to-six-inch trees or five (5) old growth trees, ten (10) inches or larger, per ten thousand (10,000) square feet of the setback area, or ratio thereof, scattered and random throughout the area, to enhance and preserve the shoreline view.

Signs. All on-premises and off-premises advertising signs shall comply with the sign regulations contained in Article VII.

Permitted Uses. Any use specifically authorized in a zoning district may become part of a planned unit development, provided the Board of Aldermen finds the use compatible with the existing and planned uses in the development and on adjacent properties.

Special Uses. All uses allowed by special use permit may become part of a planned unit development, provided that all of the procedures and requirements for that special use are met, which shall include:

Such special use shall be by written permit that shall contain the terms, times and conditions approved in such permit; and

That such permit shall not be allowed except and until after a public hearing for such purposes; and

Such public hearing may be held in conjunction with the original application for the "PUD" if the special uses are clearly and specifically set forth in writing at the time of application.

Adoption And Modification Of Authorized Uses. The Board of Aldermen, at the time of adoption of an ordinance establishing a "PUD," shall list the uses that are authorized by right and by special use permit. All authorized uses shall be subject to applicable permit and approval processes established in these regulations. Modification of the authorized use lists for any "PUD" shall be processed pursuant to a rezoning application.

Development Standards. Planned unit developments shall comply with the standards for the zoning district most closely associated with each proposed use, except where the City finds that public or private amenities provided by the proposed development exceed those that would be achieved through development that strictly complies with the minimum standards of the zoning districts. It is anticipated that uniform design standards shall be adopted for the entire "PUD" District as the Planning and Zoning Commission may require. It may also be required by the Planning and Zoning Commission that a blight study compatible with TIF regulations for blight studies be performed for the intended development before approval.

Modification Of Standards.

Mixed-Use "PUD." A mixed-use "PUD" shall include at least two (2) land uses which are not allowed together in any single zoning district, and each use must account for at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the land area may be used for any use approved through the plan. Any mixed-use "PUD" may modify the zoning district standards as follows:

Residential Density And Non-Residential Intensity. Residential density and non-residential floor area ratios may, in the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen, be increased by up to ten percent (10%) of the regular district standards if the "PUD" contains:

(1)

A mix of housing types, including single-family, two-family and multi-family integrated throughout the "PUD";

(2)

Uses, designed within convenient walking distance of the majority of residences, that commonly and customarily support the residential neighborhoods such as a neighborhood grocery store, a neighborhood hardware store, personal, services, recreational facilities and public institutions;

(3)

Increased open space and parks, accessible throughout the "PUD" for active or passive recreation;

(4)

Transportation amenities, including walking trails, bicycle trails or lanes, and transit facilities;

(5)

Architectural standards that assure the compatibility of the different types of residential uses and of the residential and non-residential uses; or

(7)

Any other provisions in excess of the minimum standards that the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen determine necessary to add to the public benefit and offset the increase in density;

(8)

Hotel and convention facilities.

Dimensional Standards. Dimensional standards such as setbacks, building height, lot area may be modified if the applicant can demonstrate that:

(1)

Buildings can be designed safely and compatibly with lesser setbacks;

(2)

Modification of the dimensional standards is offset by readily accessible public, private or common open space; and

(3)

All buildings are provided with adequate emergency access for fire protection, emergency medical technicians or other public safety concern.

Parking and landscape requirements are subject to the applicable City of Lake Ozark municipal codes.

The adopted building code of the City of Lake Ozark shall not be varied or modified in any manner by the adoption of a "PUD." Any modification of the building code shall be by the procedures set forth in that code.

Single-Use "PUD." A "PUD" which contains only uses which could be authorized in a single zoning district or any plan not meeting the requirements of a mixed-use "PUD" in Subsection (O)(1) above may modify the zoning district standards subject to the following:

The modification will only be allowed for:

(1)

Innovations in site development which result in less or better management of the environmental impacts of development on the surrounding community, or which allow preservation of important natural and environmental characteristics of the site by incorporating them into the site design; or

(2)

To allow flexibility in the application of the zoning requirements due to unique physical conditions of a particular site, while ensuring that such flexibility will not be used in a manner that distorts the objectives of these regulations.

Dimensional Standards. Dimensional standards such as setbacks, building height, lot area may be modified if the applicant can demonstrate that:

(1)

Buildings can be designed safely and compatibly with lesser setbacks;

(2)

Modification of the dimensional standards is offset by readily accessible public, private or common open space;

(3)

All buildings are provided with adequate emergency access for fire protection, emergency management technicians or other public safety concern; and

(4)

The purpose of Subsection (O)(2)(a) above could only be achieved by the modification of the standards.

Residential Density And Non-Residential Intensity. Residential density and floor area ratios for non-residential uses shall not be modified for single-use "PUD."

Parking and landscape requirements are subject to the provisions of applicable City codes, respectively.

Approved Plan. No use of the parcel, nor construction, modification or alteration of any use or structure within a "PUD" shall be permitted unless such construction or use complies with the terms and conditions of the approved plan. Each subsequent owner and/or entity created by the development, such as a property owners' association or an architectural review committee, shall comply with the terms and conditions of the approved plan. A seller of a property that is zoned "PUD" or which is in the process of receiving such approval shall notify the buyer of the terms and conditions of "PUD" approval. The City bears no liability for misrepresentation of terms and conditions of an existing approval. The developer shall set forth the conditions of approval within covenants that shall be recorded with the final approved map and plan.

Surrounding Land Use. The "PUD" shall be designed and arranged so that all uses on the perimeter of the "PUD" are compatible with surrounding land uses, such that the "PUD" may be integrated into the existing surrounding land uses rather than separated with buffers. See Subsection (B)(2).

Amendments And Revisions.

(1)

The Zoning Administrator may approve minor revisions to a final plan approved as part of a "PUB."

Minor revisions may include those that:

(a)

Will not have the effect of changing the non-residential floor area ratio or residential density from that of the approved final plan;

(b)

Will not result in any parking area, vehicle circulation, and pedestrian connections being moved significantly in any direction;

(c)

Will not have the effect of changing any dimensional standard such as setbacks, building height, and lot area by more than five percent (5%) from that of the approved final;

(d)

Will not result in any change in uses or change in the percent of land area used for any particular use;

(e)

Will not increase or create any new adverse impacts or undesirable affects on the surrounding neighborhood or any property within the plan.

(2)

Planning and Zoning Commission Revisions. If a revision exceeds requirements of a minor revision, but would still comply with the requirements specified in the ordinance authorizing the "PUD," the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve an amendment to the final plan in the same manner as the original authorization and by resolution.

(3)

If the applicant requests a revision that the Zoning Administrator determines is neither a minor revision nor a Planning and Zoning Commission revision, approval of the revision is required in accordance with the procedures established for the original approval and shall be considered an amendment to the ordinance approving the rezoning and resolution approving the final plan.

Floor Area Ratio. Floor area ratio is the calculation regulating density that compares the square footage area of a parcel (its length times its width) against its actual living or business utilization space regardless of floor level or elevation, such that mechanical spaces, stair landing, patios, outside decks, and non-living or non-commercial (in that application) spaces are not counted against its floor area ratio. The floor area of the building shall be the gross horizontal areas of the several floors, excluding basements, cellars, areas within the building which are used for parking and covered swimming pools or recreational areas, measured from the exterior faces of the exterior walls of the building.

The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for residential areas of "PUD" zoned areas shall be as follows as they most closely approximate the following zoning:

"R-1" shall be maximum six-tenths (0.6) FAR.

"R-1A" shall be maximum seven-tenths (0.7) FAR.

"R-2" shall be maximum of seven-tenths (0.7) FAR.

"R-3" shall be maximum of two (2.0) FAR.

"R-4" (if adopted) or high density residential, if no separate distinction is made from "R-3" medium residential, shall be a maximum three (3.0) FAR.

Non-residential (hotel/convention center application) shall be a maximum three (3.0) FAR.

Parking space requirements shall be the same for the zoned use such that the floor area ratio of commercial space shall be subject to the parking area requirements of its most equivalent zoning use and any residential component shall be required to have the parking area required by its zoned use.

Homeowners' Association. The City of Lake Ozark does herein require that those areas with the "PUD" in which there is privately owned residential units be organized into a homeowners' association.
