This district is designed to provide for those uses or combinations of uses which may be appropriately developed as a planned area development. It is intended to be applied only to those areas which by reason of their proximity to other zoning districts, topography, geographic location, size, shape or existing development, require special consideration in order to be properly integrated into the community and adjacent developed districts, and to further the planned circulation patterns, residential densities, planned coverage limitations, and in furtherance of the preservation of open spaces, as required by modern land planning and zoning concepts and techniques.

(Ord. No. 18.13, § 1, 12/10/13.)

Any use permitted in any other zoning district may be permitted in a P district, either alone or in combination with other uses, after it has first been determined that the area to be so zoned requires the special consideration herein mentioned.

All cannabis businesses are prohibited.

(Ord. No. 18.13, § 1, 12/10/13; Ord. No. 9.18, § 5, 10/23/18.)

Planned community zoning shall not be applied to an area which contains less than two (2) acres.

(Ord. No. 18.13, § 1, 12/10/13.)

None, except as may be imposed by the precise plan or as conditions upon the granting of a planned community permit.

(Ord. No. 18.13, § 1, 12/10/13.)

All signs shall conform to the sign provisions of the applicable precise plan for the district. Such plan may require that proposed sign regulations approved in writing by a majority of the property owners of the district be submitted to the zoning administrator for approval. If such proposal is approved by the zoning administrator, all signs shall be required to conform to it. The sign standards applicable in a P district, whether or not consented to by property owners, may be amended from time to time by the city council, provided a reasonable amortization period is allowed for any existing signs which are thereby made nonconforming.

(Ord. No. 18.13, § 1, 12/10/13.)

A planned community permit shall be required except as specified in Section 36.22.35 prior to the development of any use within a P district, other than crop and tree farming. Said permit shall set forth with particularity the nature of each use to be permitted, and shall define the location and extent of each such permitted use by reference to a map or maps attached to said permit. The application for such permit may be considered concurrently with, or subsequent to, the consideration of P district zoning.

(Ord. No. 18.13, § 1, 12/10/13.)

The city may adopt a precise plan to delineate uses, relationships to other areas, intensity of use, circulation, design criteria, procedures for development review and special conditions.

A precise plan may authorize issuance of a planned community permit by the zoning administrator as provided in Section 36.50.30, and may authorize administrative approval of signs, minor site changes and minor building alterations that are in conformity with the plan without the necessity of a planned community permit, provided in all cases the precise plan contains reasonable and adequate standards for the granting of such administrative approvals.

a.

The adoption or amendment of a precise plan may be initiated by the city council or the environmental planning commission or any interested party. Initiation by an interested party shall require payment of a filing fee as hereafter may be established by resolution of the city council, and the application shall be accompanied by materials supportive of the application and showing the exact nature of a proposed plan or amendment. Submitted materials should include statements justifying why the proper functioning of the community requires the adoption or amendment of the plan as proposed, and in the case of an amendment to a plan, why the plan is more suitable for the area than the existing plan.

b.

The environmental planning commission shall hold at least one (1) public hearing thereon and shall give notice thereof as provided in Section 36.56. The environmental planning commission shall within sixty (60) days after the close of such public hearing make its recommendation to the city council.

c.

The city council shall hold at least one (1) public hearing thereon after having given notice of such hearing as provided in Section 36.56 and may thereafter by resolution, adopt, amend or decline to adopt such precise plan. Any substantial amendment to the precise plan proposed by the environmental planning commission may be referred back to the environmental planning commission for comment.
