(2006 Code, sec. 86-231; Ordinance 04-05-610, sec. 13.1, adopted 5/17/04; Ordinance 05-03-645, sec. 2, adopted 3/4/05; Ordinance 12-12-929, sec. 2, adopted 12/11/12)
§ 30.03.031 General purpose and description.
The AG, agricultural, district is designed to permit the use of land for the ranching, propagation and cultivation of crops and similar uses of vacant land. Single-family uses on large lot/tracts are also appropriate for this district. Territory that has been newly annexed into the city is initially zoned agricultural until it is rezoned. It is anticipated that agricultural zoned land will eventually be rezoned to another more permanent, suburban zoning classification in the future. The agricultural district is also appropriate for areas where development is premature due to lack of utilities or city services; to preserve areas that are unsuitable for development due to problems that may present hazards such as flooding, in which case the agricultural zoning designation should be retained until such hazards are mitigated and the land is rezoned; and to provide permanent greenbelts or to preserve open space areas as buffers around uses that might otherwise be objectionable or pose environmental or health hazards.

Side yards and maintenance easements shall be shown on the subdivision plat. A minimum separation between patio homes of ten feet shall be provided. Roof overhangs will be allowed to project into the maintenance easement a maximum of 24 inches.
(b)
Maintenance requirements for common areas.
A property owners’ association is required for continued maintenance of common land and facilities (see section 28.04.003 for property owners’/homeowners’ association requirements).
(c)
Usable open space requirements.
Except as provided below, any patio home subdivision shall provide usable open space which equals or exceeds ten percent of the gross platted area, excluding rights-of-way for collector and larger sized streets. Usable open space shall not be required for a patio home development if it contains 20 or fewer lot/tracts, and if the property contiguous to the subdivision is either developed for uses other than patio homes or is restricted by zoning to not permit patio home development. Properties that are separated by thoroughfares larger than a collector street and/or by drainage/utility easements in excess of 60 feet in width shall not be considered as contiguous.
(d)
Specific criteria for usable open space.
Areas provided as usable open space in the SF-PH district shall meet the following criteria:
(1)
All residential lot/tracts must be located within 600 feet of a usable open space area as measured along a street. The planning and zoning commission may recommend, and city council may allow, this distance to be increased to up to 1,200 feet if the shape of the subdivision is irregular or if existing trees or other natural features on the site can be preserved by increasing the distance.
(2)
Individual usable open space areas shall be at least 20,000 square feet in size. Usable open space must be a minimum of 50 feet wide, and must have no slope greater than ten percent. At the time of site plan and subdivision plat approval, the planning and zoning commission may recommend, and the city council may allow, full or partial credit for open areas that exceed the ten percent maximum slope if it is determined that such areas are environmentally or aesthetically significant and that their existence enhances the development and the surrounding area.
(3)
Pools, tennis courts, walkways, patios and similar outdoor amenities may be located within areas designated as usable open space. Areas occupied by enclosed buildings (except for gazebos and pavilions), driveways, parking lot/tracts, overhead electrical transmission lines, drainage, channels and antennas may not be included in calculating usable open space.
(4)
Within usable open space areas, there shall be at least one large shade tree for every 1,000 square feet of space. New trees planted to meet this requirement shall be a minimum three-inch caliper, and at least 25 percent of the trees shall be nondeciduous (for qualifying tree species, see section 26.08.002 for the city’s approved plant list).
(5)
A usable open space area must have street frontage on at least 33 percent of the area’s perimeter to ensure that the area is accessible to residents of the subdivision.
(6)
Usable open space areas must be easily viewed from adjacent streets and homes. Side or rear yard fences along common open space areas shall be of open, wrought iron design, and shall not exceed four feet in height adjacent to the open space and for a distance of ten feet perpendicular or radial to the open space area.
(e)
Credit for off-site open space.
At the time of site plan and subdivision plat approval, the planning and zoning commission may recommend, and the city council may allow, up to one-third of the required open space to be credited for off-site dedicated open space (e.g., parkland) that meets the development’s needs in terms of adjacency, accessibility, usability, and design integration. The granting of any off-site credit for open space is a discretionary power of the city council. The guidelines below may assist in considering if credit is appropriate:
(1)
Adjacency.
Is at least 15 percent of the patio home development’s boundary adjacent to park land?
(2)
Accessibility.
Are there defined pedestrian connections between the development and the park land?
(3)
Usability.
Is the park land immediately adjacent to the development suitable for use and accessible by residents?
(4)
Design integration.
Does the design of the development provide a significant visual and pedestrian connection to the park or other open space land?
(f)
Landscaped areas.
Additional common open space and landscaped areas that do not qualify as usable open space may be provided in the SF-PH district, but shall not be counted toward the usable open space requirement.
(g)
Construction standards.
Single-family lot/tracts and detached dwellings constructed in the SF-PH district shall conform to the standards as set forth in the SF-9 zoning district.
(h)
Enclosure or conversion of garage space.
The elimination of a garage space by enclosing or converting any portion of the garage space with a stationary building wall shall be prohibited in the SF-PH district unless another garage of the same size is built on the lot/tract within the proper setbacks, not exceeding the maximum lot/tract coverage, etc.
(i)

Areas zoned for the MH district shall have, or shall make provision for, city water and sewer services. Areas zoned for the MH district shall be designed to adequately accommodate storm drainage; they shall have paved concrete streets with logical and efficient vehicular circulation patterns which discourage non-local traffic; they shall be properly buffered from nonresidential uses; and they shall be protected from pollution and undesirable environmental and noise impacts.
