    11-9J-4: DESIGN STANDARDS

    1. All residential development in a PUD shall include at least four of the following design features as stipulated in a Development Agreement:
      1. Front yard setbacks shall not be the same for more than two adjacent lots in the case of single-family dwellings, twin homes, or duplexes - 3' variance may encroach into the front yard. For group dwellings the groups shall offset from each other by at least a 3’ front yard setback.
      2. Front yard setbacks may be reduced to 15’ if rear loaded garages are utilized for units facing a street.
      3. Front porches are required with at least 60 square feet.
      4. Garages shall be recessed from the front façade by at least 5’ and shall not encompass more than 50% or the front façade. If garages are rear loaded the front setback may be reduced to 15’, garages can be flus with the facade, but setback variance is still required.
      5. Front facades shall include a wainscot of brick or stone that extends at least 5’ along the sides of the units. This requirement does not preclude all brick or stone facades. Groups of attached dwellings shall vary the front facades to distinguish between units.
      6. Pitched roofs are required with shingles that simulate the depth of wood shakes or tile. Minimum pitch of 4:12.
      7. Non-residential uses shall use brick, stone, or Hardie plank (cementitious material) for the entire front façade and extend that material to at least 10’ on the sides with a wainscot required to continue around the building utilizing the from façade materials.

    11-9J-5: SIGN REGULATIONS

    1. The height, size, and locations of signs shall be in accordance with the regulations set forth in CCNO 11-21.

    11-9J-6: SITE PLAN APPROVAL

    1. For any permitted or conditional uses other than single-family dwellings, a site plan shall be required in accordance with CCNO 11-2-9.

    11-9K-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT

    1. The purpose of the Master Planned Community Zone is to provide opportunities for creative and unique developments within North Ogden City. This ordinance includes guidelines for creating neighborhood-oriented village projects that may include a mix of residential, commercial, recreational and/or public uses.

      An integral part of this Zone is a multistep review process to assure compatibility of proposed land uses with existing, and proposed adjacent neighborhoods, as well as the vision of the General Plan. The desired goal is to move toward vibrant, sustainable, and walkable neighborhood centers, with integrated streets.

      Proposed plans for development shall follow or exceed design standards found within this ordinance. Specific plans shall be a reflection of a required development agreement.

    11-9K-2: MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY REZONE REQUIRED

    1. Not all properties will be eligible for the Master Planned Community zone designation. Each proposed parcel shall be evaluated on its own merits and a rezone is required. All of the following criteria shall be used to assess the suitability of the parcel to be considered for the Master Planned Community zone:
      1. The proposed parcel shall encompass a minimum of 5 acres; however, projects on smaller parcels may be considered if they fulfill the objectives of the City.
      2. The proposed parcel shall be located within or adjacent to the North Ogden Downtown, Southtown, between those nodes along Washington Boulevard, or to the west of Downtown, where more diverse and intense uses are anticipated in the General Plan.
      3. The primary use shall be residential.
      4. At least 5% of the total square footage of all buildings in the entire proposal shall be devoted to a secondary use, such as residential mixed with commercial uses or office uses. Greater mixes are encouraged.
      5. Proposals shall demonstrate an excellence in architecture, site design, and walkability, as described in the standards of this ordinance.
      6. Proposers shall be willing to enter into a development agreement that runs with the land.
      7. Proposals shall demonstrate how the potential project will address the specific goals and values found in the North Ogden General Plan and within the Downtown chapter.
      8. The entire parcel shall be reflected in a specific site plan meeting requirements of 11-9K-3.

    11-9K-3: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

    1. Development Standards. The following standards apply specifically to development in the Master Planned Community zone (MPC) and shall supersede any other standards found elsewhere in this Code. These standards are guidelines that should be reinforced through the required development agreement. Significant deviations from these standards are possible, but only if coupled with a development agreement.
    2. Building Placement and Massing.
      1. Setbacks. Building facades should comprise at least 65% of the frontage facing Washington Blvd. and 50% of all other public street edges. Building facades must be located 0-10 feet from the public right-of-way (typically inside edge of sidewalk) on major streets. Minor streets may include increased setbacks with a minimum of 15’. Awnings, balconies, and architectural features may project beyond building facades, but not over the sidewalk, as approved by the Planning Commission. Street side setback variations are encouraged when an activity related to pedestrian use is maintained, i.e. special landscaping, outside seating for a restaurant, patios, recessed plazas, courtyards, and trellises are encouraged.

      2. Zero lot line side setbacks with attached structures, in compliance with the International Building Code are anticipated except for necessary rear lot driveway access, pedestrian access, open space, transitions to other uses and landscape areas. Rear setbacks should be of sufficient depth to allow proper parking and landscaped areas to the rear of the buildings, coupled with appropriate transitions to adjacent uses. Rear yards and the rear of buildings shall not directly abut streets. If the rear of building is approved adjacent to a street, pedestrian access and street-oriented building treatment must be adequately addressed.

      3. Building Orientation. The entrances of all retail, civic, residential, institutional uses, and office buildings shall always front onto major streets, with the exception of center block residences (which still must front pedestrian ways) and anchor stores greater than 30,000 square feet in size. On minor streets this requirement is suggested but may be waived with an appropriately landscaped buffer yard adjacent to the minor street. Secondary entries may be required at the rear of street-facing buildings. Where possible, 'like land uses' shall face 'like land uses' or open space, i.e. retail across the street from retail, townhomes from townhomes, etc. Loading docks and service areas shall be screened from streets and adjacent properties through architectural design and landscaping. Anchor store entrances must front onto the street, and be connected to adjacent streets via landscaped, publicly accessible walkways. Access from parking areas may be via mid-block passageways or "paseos," to the street.

    3. Building Height. Buildings shall have a minimum and maximum height as indicated on the table by building type, with height to be measured in accordance with the City's adopted ordinances and standards.

      Land Use
      Commercial, Office & Vertical Mixed Use or residential flats
      Condos, Town-homes, single purpose apartments
      Single-family, duplexes, twin homes, & 4 unit buildings
      Civic Uses & other stand-alone uses
      Minimum Building Height
      Two stories or 24’
      Two stories or 24’
      One story or 14’
      One story or 14’
      Maximum Building Height
      Four stories or 45’
      Three stories or 36’
      Two stories or 24’
      Three stories or 36’
      The Planning Director may approve a height over three stories if the design includes suitable “step-back” architecture and other architectural features which encourage a “village” feel on the street level. Step-backs shall create usable spaces for residents.
    4. Land Use Impact and Buffering. Landscape buffers are strongly preferred over fences and walls where a separation is desirable. A visually open look should be encouraged between compatible uses. Visual screening which creates 'outdoor rooms' is often more important than a physical separation and the Planning Commission, shall evaluate such areas. Fences or walls, if determined to be necessary or desirable, must be reviewed for their effectiveness in protecting private space while not creating isolated uses or dead space void of natural surveillance. Approved fences or walls shall be compatible in color, texture, and design in relationship to building materials. In order to mitigate any negative impacts, the Planning Director, after due consideration, may modify building setbacks and heights to create better separation, and/or require additional architectural and/or landscape elements, as needed to mitigate anticipated detrimental impacts between uses. Transitions between buildings in the MPC and other zones shall be setback 20’ for buildings up to 24’ in height (measured to the peak of the roof) and then additional height shall be allowed with an additional foot of setback equal to one additional foot of height.
    5. Architectural Design and Materials. The treatment of building mass, façade variation, materials and exterior appurtenances shall create an aesthetically pleasing building and site that is in character with the proportions of other surrounding buildings, and yet provides diversity in design. A mix of materials is required. Requirements applicable to all buildings are stated below:
      1. All sides of buildings shall receive substantial design consideration, with an emphasis on areas visible to pedestrians, vehicular traffic, and neighbors. Repetitive design for any project over 5 buildings is not acceptable. Within projects, sub-neighborhoods created by design shall be incorporated in the overall scheme, with a general intent of significant building façade changes every 5 to 10 buildings or as approved in the site plan. A mix of materials is required.
      2. Screening. All building equipment and service areas, including on grade and roof mechanical equipment, utility meters, and transformers that are readily visible from the public right of way, shall be screened from public view. These elements shall be sited to minimize their visibility and impact, especially from major streets, or they may be enclosed as to appear to be an integral part of the architectural design of the building. Dumpsters (shall not be located closer than 20’ from any property line), and other necessary equipment shall be located or screened so as not to be visible from streets, pedestrian areas, and adjacent. Screening elements shall be aesthetically incorporated into the design of the site whether located on the ground or on a structure.
      3. Basic building materials shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, architecturally treated pre-cast concrete, brick, stone, granite, ceramic tile, cement/fiber board, architectural metals, and/or glass. All residential uses shall have substantial brick and/or masonry exteriors.

      6. Lighting shall be evaluated as to how adequately it meets its intended purpose. Design and location of standards and fixtures shall be specified on the site development drawings and a lighting plan provided. Intensities shall be controlled so that 'safety' lighting is provided while neighboring areas are protected from glare or excessive direct light.
    11. Streets and Pedestrian Ways.
      1. Streets. All accesses within a MPC shall have connectivity with existing and future street patterns. A grid street pattern or modified grid pattern is required where possible. Cul-de-sac streets shall not be approved unless it can be demonstrated that no other practical way exists to make connectivity. In order to uphold and enhance traditional neighborhood development principles, private streets are discouraged and gated communities are prohibited.

      2. Widths. Street widths shall be per Public Works Standards. In general, streets shall be designed to meet the level of travel and service, while incorporating principles of traffic calming and pedestrian compatibility, i.e., tree lined streets with pedestrian ways and linkages, decreasing the need for pavement width by spreading traffic through a grid or modified street hierarchy system.
      3. Sidewalks and Walkways. The design of pedestrian ways may include a solitary meandering pathway or trail, a 'pedestrian street' and the many possible designs in-between. Walkways and connections to trail systems shall be incorporated into the project. Choice of appropriate pedestrian access shall be made based upon the scale and type of mixed-use project being proposed and by the way uses are intermingled. A ten-foot cross-section (five-foot park strip, five-foot sidewalk) is a minimum standard, while sidewalks widths of 10’ are required for properties that front on Washington Blvd. and/or 2700 N. All public streets shall have walkways for pedestrians.
      4. Pavers, borders, colored/textured concrete and other sidewalk design materials with compatible colors shall be used as needed in order break up expanses of hard-surfacing and to encourage pedestrian interest and activity. In vertical mixed-use areas, wider sidewalks are required in order to enhance street and land use connectivity. Portions of the park strip may be paved or crushed rock, to accommodate street furniture, leaving tree wells for street trees. Corner plazas are required with a triangular area having at least 20’ dimension parallel to the streets emanating from the intersection of ROW lines. Street furniture, including but not limited to benches, trash receptacles, artwork, drinking fountains, bike racks, etc. may be required depending upon the nature of approved uses. Street furniture requirements shall include an overall design theme for compatibility.
      5. Crosswalks. Extensive use of crosswalks shall be incorporated within the project. Crosswalks shall be so configured to be a design feature of the development, i.e., heavy painted lines in patterns, pavers, edges, and other methods of emphasizing pedestrian use. Bulb-outs and other pedestrian design shall be used to shorten walking distances across open pavement. Planted medians shall be used in appropriate areas to encourage walking and to act as a 'refuge' for crossing pedestrians.
      6. Street widths. The widths of streets shall be established as per Public Works Standards.
    12. Other Forms of Transportation. All forms of transportation shall be considered within and without the MPC with the intent to improve convenience and reduce automobile trips. All forms of transportation should be encouraged, including, walking, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian. Access connections shall be required where deemed essential to provide circulation or access to churches, schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation, and other community facilities.
      Conveniently located short term bicycle racks shall be required in every development along the street frontage with the ratio of one rack that accommodates at least 2 bikes per business with up to 25 employees and one rack that accommodates at least 4 bikes for businesses with over 25 employees. Long term bike rack/storage is required for residential developments with a ratio of one rack that accommodates at least 5 bikes for every 50 units.
      Appropriate bus turnouts, shelters, and stops shall be coordinated and planned as part of the development review process. Based upon land use and the level of demand, bicycle parking shall be provided in appropriate locations, i.e., visible from store fronts and entrances to office buildings and residential structures.
    13. Parking Areas. Parking areas shall be considered as structures since they present a three-dimensional appearance when occupied. All parking areas shall meet the requirements of CCNO 11-19 as well as the following:
      1. Parking Location. Location of parking shall be determined not only from its visual relationship to the building and site, but also as it relates to safe convenient pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns. Where possible, Parking lots shall be broken up and planned as 'outdoor rooms'.
        1. Large Parking lots. When approved, larger parking lots shall be broken up with substantial tree and ground cover broken up into 'rooms' of no more than 300 parking stalls thru the use of connecting walkways.
        2. Where practical, parking lots shall incorporate LID techniques, by providing retention through the use of internal islands for storm water retention.
        3. Unless otherwise approved by the Planning Director, parking lots are prohibited adjacent to any street and/or between a building and the street. Parking shall be located to the rear of the building or to the side. Parking lots located to the side of a building shall incorporate adequate screening, such as short walls and hedge type landscaping between the lot and the public sidewalk.
      2. Underground parking, deck or terrace parking, and parking garages are encouraged. Parking structures with first level parking immediately adjacent to the frontage of a street are prohibited. Parking structures shall be designed around natural light with 'safety' lighting added as needed.
      3. Landscaping, within and without, may be required to enhance compatibility and safety.
      4. Developments may be approved with less than required parking if evidence can be shown that the nature of the land use proposed will not need the number of stalls as recommended in the City's parking ordinance, as may be approved by the land use authority.
      5. Developments may also be 'under parked' if justified with a walkable design that demonstrates such, and/or where local multi-modal transit systems exist or are immediately planned, which would help reduce the number of needed parking stalls and/or automobile trips.
      6. Shared parking arrangements may be required in order to reduce necessary parking areas and to encourage pedestrian activity. A parking study may be required during the pre-application process if determined by the Planning Director that some flexibility may be warranted, paid for by the developer and managed by the City to consider a reduction in the City parking standards.
      7. Where possible, on-street parking shall be provided adjacent to developments, and a pro-rated share of such, may be used to satisfy overall parking requirements. Parallel or angle parking may be approved based upon the overall design and width of the street, as recommended by the City Engineer and approved by the land use authority. UDOT coordination and approvals may be required.
      8. Visitor parking shall be carefully considered using the standard of 1 visitor parking space for every unit. Tandem parking may be considered for up to 50% of this requirement.
      9. RV storage lots and stalls occupied by RVs shall not be allowed.
    14. Environmental. Building, landscape, and solar design should be adjusted, where possible, to be compatible with the local climate. Such design should include, but may not be limited to, window placement, building recesses, overhangs, trellises, awnings, porches, and landscape placement, planned in such a way to enhance livability and reduce energy costs.
      1. The use of lighter colored building materials (i.e., roof tops), fences/walls, and extensive deciduous and evergreen tree cover shall be incorporated into developments in order to reduce the urban heat island effect.
      2. Where possible, streets, driveways, parking lots, etc., should use concrete or other materials which absorb less sunlight.
      3. Interior and perimeter parking lot landscaping shall be provided at the ratio of at least one tree per six parking stalls.
      4. Where practical, drought resistant ground covers, shrubs, and trees shall be incorporated into the landscape to reduce water usage and storm runoff. Extensive areas of grass or other high water use plants without a public purpose are discouraged.
      5. Include 220-volt outlets in all garages, solar panels on roofs, and insulation exceeding standard code requirements by 20% for roofs and walls.
