A.

Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to provide a method which will facilitate a more flexible mixture and pattern of development, the grouping of open spaces and arrangement of living patterns in accordance with good planning principles while providing adequate safeguards to protect the community.

B.

Exceptions. The city may permit in any planned district (PD) even greater flexibility in the type of uses, the area and yard requirements, the off-street parking and other regulations set forth in this chapter, subject to demonstration of appropriateness for area under construction.

C.

Zoning Classification. The district would be an overlay of the zone most appropriate to the predominant use proposed for the area under consideration, all regulations of the zone must be met except as varied under the planned district (PD) standards. The planned district (PD) designation is to be applied for as a conditional use within the appropriate zone. If the current zoning of area differs from the predominant use proposed, a developer must apply for the proper zoning simultaneously with the conditional use permit for the planned district (PD) overlay.

D.

Benefit. The overlay district allows the developer a mixture of uses and a slightly higher density than would normally be allowed in a given zone, and may allow a land use in an area which would otherwise be deemed unsuitable. In exchange for this opportunity, the city retains right of site plan review and refusal based upon: adequacy and placement of open spaces, landscaping, buffering, transportation, lighting, noise and similar considerations.
