The purpose of a planned unit development is to provide alternate zoning procedures in the various zone districts to achieve:

   (A)   More attractive site layout;

   (B)   Economies in construction and in providing public improvements;

   (C)   Larger recreational areas;

   (D)   Varying densities and building types;

   (E)   Preserving the natural beauty of the municipality.

(Ord. 887, § 4.18, passed - -)

   (A)   The purpose of this section is to provide alternate zoning procedures for the Single-Family Residential Districts. A planned unit development enables a tract of land under single ownership or unified control to be developed at various densities provided that total development density is not greater than the maximum dwelling district. This can provide for more efficient use of open space, tree cover, recreation areas and scenic vistas.

   (B)   Under this section, lots may be reduced in area below the minimum lot size required by the residential district in which the development is located, provided that the average lot size of the total lots plus the total common area created in the development is not below the minimum lot size required by the applicable district.

   (C)   The land utilized by public utilities, such as easements for major facilities, such as electrical transmission lines, sewer lines, and water mains, where such land is not available to the owner for development because of such elements, shall not be considered as part of the gross acreage in computing the maximum number of lots that may be created under the procedure hereinafter described.

   (D)   The maximum number of lots that may be approved shall be computed by subtracting, from the total gross acreage available for subdivision under this planned unit development procedure the actual amount of street right-of-way required and that land in (C) which is not available, and by dividing the remaining area by the minimum lot area requirements of the existing residential district or districts in which the development is to be located.

   (E)   Private recreation facilities are limited to the use of the owners or occupants of the development, including golf courses, swimming pools, parkways, ornamental areas, extensive tree cover and lowland along streams.

   (F)   The minimum size parcel of land required for this P.U.D. shall be two acres.

   (G)   This P.U.D. shall be permitted in the “R-I” and “R-2” Zone District.

(Ord. 887, § 4.19, passed - -)

   All requirements for this P.U.D. are exactly the same as § 155.236 with the exceptions that:

   (A)   Minimum tract size shall be ten acres;

   (B)   This P.U.D. is allowed in all Single- and Multiple-Family Districts;

   (C)   This P.U.D. can include a maximum of 25% of the total number of dwelling units as multiple- family dwelling units;

   (D)   There may be more than one apartment building on a lot.

(Ord. 887, § 4.22, passed - -)

   The owner or persons having unified control of any tract of land in any district or districts zoned for single or multiple-family uses comprising an area of not less than 40 acres may submit to the Administrative Official a plan for the use and development of all such tract of land for multiple-use purposes.

(Ord. 887, § 4.23, passed - -)

   Residential and other land uses that are permitted in this P.U.D. includes one, two and multiple- family residences; row houses not to exceed eight in a single row and necessary convenience commercial shops for the development only, such as small laundromat, convenience food store, barber shop, beauty shop and dry cleaning shop. These and any additional uses may be permitted only when not currently accessible to development residents. All other requirements of § 155.236 apply.

(Ord. 887, § 4.24, passed - -)

   (A)   The owner or persons having unified control of any tract of land zoned Multiple-Family Dwelling District may submit to the Administrative Officer a plan for the use and development of all of the tract of land for multiple dwelling purposes only. The minimum number of dwelling units eligible for this P.U.D. is eight units.

   (B)   If the P.U.D. is to contain 40 or more units, service establishments may be permitted which principally serve the residents of the development, such as a small laundromat, convenience food store, barber shop, beauty shop, dry cleaning shop and hobby shop. These and any similar business uses may not be permitted only when not currently accessible to development residents.

   (C)   There may be more than one main building on a lot and for the purpose of determining yard requirements the yard requirements shall be applied to the lot as a whole, the front thereof being the side

having the greatest frontage upon a street or upon an officially approved place and each building upon the lot shall not be required to separately meet the side and rear yard requirements; however, development perimeter setbacks shall be met.

   (D)   All other requirements and conditions of § 155.236 apply.

(Ord. 887, § 4.25, passed - -)

   The purpose of this section is to provide permissive, voluntary, and alternative zoning procedures in all Business Districts to permit the flexibility of uses and design beyond that permitted in the particular districts, under conditions of approved site, architecture, and development plans. The owner or persons having unified control of a tract of land in any district zoned for business uses comprising an area of not less than two acres may submit to the Administrative Officer a plan for the use and development of all such tract of land for any use or combination of uses permitted per lot provided the parking requirements of §§ 155.255 and 155.265 through 155.281 are met.

(Ord. 887, § 4.26, passed - -)

More than one building may be permitted per lot provided the parking requirements of §§ 155.255 and 155.265 through 155.281 are met.

(Ord. 887, § 4.27, passed - -)
