(1) Structures. Structures must be placed in accordance with any floodplain regulations applicable to the site. Where these controls do not exist, the elevation to which the lowest floor, including basement, is placed or flood-proofed must be determined as follows.

(a) For lakes, by placing the lowest floor at least 3 feet above the highest known water level, or 3 feet above the ordinary high water level, whichever is higher;

(b) For rivers and tributaries, by placing the lowest floor at least 3 feet above the flood of record, if data are available. If data are not available, by placing the lowest floor at east 3 feet above the ordinary high water level, or by conducting a technical evaluation to determine the effects of proposed construction upon flood stages and flood flows and to establish a flood protection elevation. Under all 3 approaches, technical evaluations must be done by a qualified engineer or hydrologist consistent with Statewide Floodplain Management Rules parts 6120.5000 to 6120.6200. If more than 1 approach is used, the highest flood protection elevation determined shall be used for placing structures and other facilities.

(b) Landings for stairways and lifts on residential lots must not exceed 32 square feet in area. Landings larger than 32 square feet may be allowed for commercial properties, public open-space recreational properties, and Planned Unit Developments if specifically authorized in a conditional use permit;

(d) Stairways, lifts, or landings may be either constructed above the ground on posts or pilings, or placed into the ground provided they are designed and built in a manner that ensures control of soil erosion;

(e) Stairways, lifts, or landings must be located in the most visually inconspicuous portions of lots, as viewed from the surface of the public waters assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, whenever practical; and

(f) Facilities such as ramps, lifts or mobility paths for physically handicapped persons are also allowed as a conditional use (variance) for achieving access to shore areas, provided that the dimensional and performance standards of ADAG, Americans with Disabilities Act Guidelines, are complied with.

(3) Accessory structures and facilities. All accessory structures and facilities must meet or exceed structure setback standards.

(4) Bluff impact zones. Structures or facilities, except stairways and landings, must not be placed within bluff impact zones.

(5) Significant historic sites in shoreland areas. No structure may be placed on a significant historic site in a shoreland area in a manner that affects the value of the site unless adequate information about the site has been removed and deposited in a public repository.

(6) Steep slopes in shoreland areas.

(a) The Zoning Administrator shall evaluate possible soil erosion impacts and development visibility from public waters before issuing a permit for the construction of sewage treatment systems, roads, driveways, structures or other improvements on steep slopes.

(b) When determined necessary, conditions must be attached to issue permits to prevent erosion and to preserve existing vegetation screening of structures, vehicles, and other facilities as viewed from the surface of public waters, assuming summer leaf-on conditions.

(7) Subdivisions of duplexes, triplexes, and quads on natural environment lakes. Subdivisions of duplexes, triplexes, and quads on natural environment lakes must also meet the following standards:

(a) Each building must be set back at least 200 feet from the ordinary high water level;

(b) Each building must have common sewage treatment and water systems in 1 location and serve all dwelling units in the building;

(c) Watercraft docking facilities for each lot must be centralized in 1 location and serve all dwelling units in the building; and

(1) The purpose and intent of the PUD Planned Unit Development District is to offer an alternative to the strict enforcement of the provisions of the residential, commercial, and industrial zoning districts of this code. A PUD District may deviate from the definitive and precise requirements of established zoning districts if the particular areas to be developed can offer greater value to the community and can preserve the community’s health, welfare, and safety than if those same areas were to be developed as a single-purpose zoning district. A PUD District may involve 1 type of use or may be of a mixed-use so that it not only contains residential, commercial, or industrial uses, but a combination of these uses.

(2) Land in a PUD District is to be designed to achieve 1 or more of the following:

(a) Encourage flexibility in the development of land and in the design of structures;

(b) Encourage planned diversification in the type and location of structures;

(c) Encourage a creative approach to the use of land that results in better development and design than might otherwise be accomplished under the strict application of this code;

(d) Provide for the efficient use of land to facilitate a more effective arrangement of land uses, buildings, circulation systems and utilities;

(e) Provide for more usable and suitably located open space and recreation areas than might otherwise be provided under the application of this code;

(f) Encourage the construction of appropriate aesthetic amenities which will enhance the character of the site;

(g) Guarantee quality construction commensurate with other developments within the community, and compatible with the character of the surrounding area and adjoining properties;

(h) Facilitate implementation of the Comprehensive Plan;

(i) Provide for the development of unique land areas and sites that would not be possible under the strict application of this code;

(j) Encourage quality construction and design;

(k) Create development that fits the historical and actual development pattern of surrounding properties when that development doesn’t meet the strict standards of the zoning district in which they are located; and

(l) Allow for development patterns, types and styles that are of benefit to the community and/or meet community needs that are not adequately provided by the market under standard zoning requirements.

(B) General standards.

(1) Planned unit developments in Shoreland Districts are not subject to the requirements of this section. Instead, they are subject to the requirements of §§ 151.222 to 151.226.

(2) The Planned Unit Development District is a floating zone (not an overlay zone) designated within the zoning code and not pre-designated on the zoning map. It shall only be designated on the zoning map at such time as the City Council reviews and approves the final development plan for the planned unit development and an ordinance rezoning the property to planned unit development. At such time, the Planned Unit Development District is considered an amendment to the zoning map.

(3) The proposed planned unit development shall be consistent with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the Comprehensive Plan land use map.

(4) The proposed planned unit development shall be consistent with the general intent of the City Code even if it doesn’t meet specific standards or parameters of the code.

(5) Types of allowable planned unit developments.

(a) A single-use planned unit development is a development consisting solely of 1 of the following use categories: residential, commercial, or industrial. Uses allowed in a single-use planned unit development shall be limited to the permitted, conditional, and accessory uses allowed in zoning districts which have allow uses consistent with those proposed in the planned unit development.

(b) A mixed-use planned unit development is a development consisting of any combination of residential, commercial, or industrial uses. Uses allowed in a mixed-use planned unit development may consist of uses consistent with those uses allowed as permitted, conditional or accessory uses in the underlying district and/or a similar use zoning district. The City Council may place more restrictive conditions on the mixture of uses within a planned unit development to ensure preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare; compliance with the intent of this subchapter; and, that land uses occurring within the planned unit development, and between the planned unit development and the surrounding land uses, do not conflict.

(6) If a planned unit development involves 2 or more owners, the application for the PUD must be filed jointly by all such owners.

(7) There is no standard minimum lot size requirement for any PUD. However, the size of the proposed development would be such that this form of development is logical and adheres to the overall purposes of this code.

(8) The rezoning authorizing the PUD may grant exceptions to the regulations contained in this code including, but not limited to, use; density; area; bulk; setbacks; off-street parking and loading; landscaping; and signs, as may be desirable to achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development, provided that such exceptions are reasonably consistent with the general intent of the code.

(9) A PUD must not substantially diminish the market value of surrounding properties, and it must not cause substantial impairment of the use of those properties.

(10) The PUD must not adversely affect the natural environment of the community as a whole. Natural assets and features, such as existing trees and native vegetation, must be protected and preserved to the greatest extent practical.

(11) The PUD must be accessible to public streets that are adequate to carry the traffic that will be generated by the proposed development. The streets and driveways within the proposed development must be adequate to serve the uses within the development.

(12) All proposed streets, alleys and driveways must be adequate to serve the residents, occupants, visitors, or other anticipated traffic. The PUD may be, subject to City Council approval, designed to discourage outside through traffic from traversing the development. Access points to public streets, and the location of private streets, alleys and driveways are subject to the approval of the City Council.

(13) Any pedestrian circulation system and its related walkways must provide for separation of pedestrian and vehicular movement and for maximum pedestrian safety.

(14) The construction and maintenance of all utilities, roadways, parking facilities and other site improvements must be in accordance with the requirements of this code and other regulations of the city unless specifically approved otherwise by the City Council. All roadways and utilities within the PUD must be constructed to specifications established by the City Council. At the City Council’s request, an agreement for the completion of this work may be established by the city and the developer. The City Council may choose to allow for private streets or utilities solely at its discretion.

(15) Nothing in this section or this code may be interpreted as negating the necessity of filing a plat as required by the subdivision regulations.

(16) The burden of justification for any PUD project is the exclusive responsibility of the applicant. The applicant is responsible for providing the information and data required in this section. In addition, as the PUD is intended to be an innovative approach, the applicant must provide any other data or information required by the Planning Commission or the City Council to assist in decision-making.

(17) No planned unit development shall be allowed which substantially violates or compromises applicable fire or safety codes.

(1) Permitted bulk and setback regulation exception. Exceptions to the bulk and setback district regulations may be granted as part of a PUD District rezoning. Exceptions from other zoning district regulations may be granted for planned unit developments with respect to, but not limited to, district bulk regulations, required setbacks, off-street parking and loading, landscaping, and screening, and signs, if the City Council finds that such exceptions:

(a) Enhance the overall merit of the PUD.

(b) Promote the objectives of both the city and the development.

(d) Enable the development to offer environmental and pedestrian amenities.

(e) Will not cause such an adverse impact on neighboring properties so as to outweigh the benefits of the development.

(f) Is compatible with the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

(g) Provide a public benefit to the city, as described below.

(h) Allows the development to better conform with historical or existing development patterns that exist in the surrounding area.

(i) No building/structure shall be located less than 10 feet from any road right-of-way or public road easement or 30 feet from the back of curb (or edge of road surface if there is no curb), whichever is less, except when such development will contain uses or buildings substantially similar to that allowed in the General Business B-2 Zoning District where lesser setbacks are normally allowed.

(2) Use regulation. The approved general development plan of the PUD will establish the permitted uses within the development that are desirable in achieving the objectives of the PUD. However, there must be clear evidence that:

(a) Such uses are desirable and appropriate with respect to the primary purpose of the development.

(b) Such uses are not of such a nature, or so located, as to exercise a detrimental influence on the development or the surrounding neighborhood.

(3) Density regulations. The net density of a planned unit development shall generally adhere to the density regulations of the density that would be allowed for the type of use proposed (i.e. if single-family homes in a standard zoning district have a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, the planned unit development shall maintain an overall density of one dwelling per 10,000 square feet). However, the City Council may consider an increase in allowable density as an incentive to obtain public benefits and/or amenities as outlined below or as otherwise determined necessary to achieve the general intent and purpose of a planned unit development.

(4) Public benefits and amenities. A PUD must demonstrate a substantial benefit to the city as part of the rezoning approval. No rezoning to a PUD District may be approved unless the Planning Commission and City Council determine that a public benefit has been provided to the city as part of the PUD design. Design characteristics and amenities that would qualify for this determination include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Landscaping, buffering, or screening within or around the perimeter of the PUD over and above the minimum required by this code.

(b) The provision of underground parking, and additional landscaping and screening of parking lots and structures over and above the minimum required by this code.

(d) Design characteristics including, but not limited to, mixed-use development, circulation systems that utilize alleys or traffic-calming techniques, and a pedestrian-oriented environment.

(e) Use of sustainable design and green architecture such as: green roofs and other energy-efficient design concepts; water conservation; environmental sensitivity; new building technologies; Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) techniques; and xeriscaping (water conservation landscaping).

(f) Community amenities including plazas, malls, formal gardens, places to congregate, outdoor seating, public art, and pedestrian and transit facilities.

(g) Preservation of environmental features.

(h) Preservation of historic features.

(i) Open space and recreational amenities that are available to the public such as:

1. Swimming pools;

2. Tennis courts;

3. Recreational open space accessory buildings;

4. Jogging trails and fitness courses;

5. Playgrounds;

6. Natural water features, wetlands, and conservation areas;

7. Detention areas which are accessible to occupants or the public via nature trails, boardwalks, and/or perimeter walkways, but only if they are designed as natural water features and are landscaped with native vegetation.

(j) Additional public infrastructure improvements in addition to the minimum required by the PUD, such as new or repaved streets, installation of gutters and sewers, and traffic control devices to improve traffic flow.

(k) Provision of accessible dwelling units with accessible features beyond what is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or any other applicable codes.

(l) Provision of housing options or other development that meet a particular need in the city and which are not adequately being provided by market rate developments.

(D) Procedure.

(1) Application conference. Prior to filing of an application for PUD, the applicant of the proposed PUD is encouraged to arrange for and attend a conference with the City Planner. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance as to the general suitability of the proposal for the area for which it is proposed and its conformity to the provisions of this section before incurring substantial expense in the preparation of plans, surveys, and other data.

(2) General concept plan.

(a) Review. A general concept plan shall be presented to the City Planner who shall schedule the plan for review at the next available Planning Commission meeting. A public hearing shall not be required for the Planning Commission’s review of the concept plan.

(b) Purpose. The general concept plan provides an opportunity for the applicant to submit a plan to the city showing the basic intent and the general nature of the entire development without incurring substantial cost. The following elements of the proposed general concept plan represent the immediately significant elements for city review and comment.

1. Overall maximum PUD density/intensity range;

2. General location of major streets and pedestrian ways;

3. General location and extent of public and common open space;

4. General location of residential and non-residential land uses with approximate type and intensities of development;

5. Staging and time schedule of development; and

6. Other special criteria for development.

1. The applicant shall file the concept stage application, together with all supporting data and filing fee as established by City Council resolution.

2. Within 15 working days after verification by the city that the application and required supportive material is completed and adequate, the request shall be processed in accordance with the applicable procedures and schedule as defined by this section.

(d) Optional submission of development stage plan. In the case of single-stage PUDs or where the first stage of a multiple- stage PUD is to begin immediately, the applicant may initially submit development stage plans and supportive material. In such case, the city shall consider and act upon such plans according to the applicable provision of this section.

(e) Effect of concept plan approval. Unless the applicant shall fail to meet time schedules for filing development stage and final plans or shall fail to proceed with development in accordance with the plans as approved or shall in any other manner fail to comply with any condition of this chapter or of any approval granted pursuant to it, a general concept plan which has been approved shall not be modified, revoked or otherwise impaired pending the application of development stage and final plans by any action of the city without the consent of the applicant.

(f) Limitation on general concept plan approval. Unless a development stage plan covering at least 10 dwelling units or the area designated in the general concept plan as the first stage of the PUD, whichever is greater, has been filed within 6 months from the date city grants general concept plan approval, or in any case where the applicant fails to file development stage and final plans and to proceed with development in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and of an approved general concept plan, the approval shall be null and void and shall lapse. Upon request by the applicant, the Council at its discretion may extend for additional periods not in excess of 6 months each the filing deadline for any development stage plan, when, for good cause shown, such extension is necessary.

(3) Development stage.

(a) Review. The development stage plan shall require a conditional use permit processed in accordance with the procedures applicable to conditional use permits in this code.

(b) Purpose. The purpose of the development stage plan is to provide a specific and particular plan upon which the Planning Commission will base its recommendation to the Council and with which substantial compliance is necessary for the preparation of the final plan.

(c) Submission of development stage. Upon approval of the general concept plan, and within the time established in this section, the applicant shall file with the city a development stage plan consisting of the information and submissions required by ordinance for the entire PUD or for one or more stages thereof in accordance with a staging plan approved as part of the general concept plan. The development stage plan shall refine, implement, and be in substantial conformity with the approved general concept plan.

(d) Review and action by city staff and Planning Commission. Immediately upon receipt of a completed development stage plan, said plan shall be scheduled for a public hearing as a conditional use permit and may be sent to the following city staff and/or official bodies for the indicated action as determined necessary by the City Planner or Planning Commission:

1. The City Attorney for legal review of all documents;

2. The City Engineer for review of all engineering data and the city/developer agreement;

3. The Building Official for review of all building plans;

4. The City Planner or designated agent for review of all plans for compliance with the intent, purpose and requirements of this chapter and conformity with the general concept plan and Comprehensive Plan; and/or

5. When appropriate, as determined by the City Planner to other special review agencies and governmental jurisdictions.

(e) PUD enactment. Final approval of a PUD conditional use permit or PUD zoning district map amendment shall be considered granted only at the time of development stage plan approval by the City Council.

(f) Limitation on development stage plan approval. Unless a final plan covering the area designated in the development stage plan as the first stage of the PUD has been filed within 6 months from the date City Council grants development stage plan approval, or in any case where the applicant fails to file final plans and to proceed with development in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and/or an approved development stage plan, the approval shall be null and void and shall expire. Upon application by the applicant, the City Council, at its discretion, may extend for not more than 6 months, the filing deadline for any final plan when, for good cause shown, such extension is necessary.

(g) Site improvements. At any time following the approval of a development stage plan by the City Council, and completion and execution of a PUD agreement governing the project, the applicant may, pursuant to the applicable City Code provisions apply for, and the city may issue, grading permits for the area within the PUD for which development stage plan approval has been given. Securities as appropriate may be required of the applicant.

(4) Final plan.

(a) Purpose. The final plan is to serve as a complete, thorough, and permanent public record of the PUD and the manner in which it is to be developed. It shall incorporate all prior approved plans and all approved modifications thereof resulting from the PUD process. It shall serve in conjunction with other City Code provisions as the land use regulation application to the PUD. The final plan is intended only to add detail to, and to put in final form, the information contained in the development stage plan and shall conform to the development stage plan in all respects.

(b) Schedule.

1. Upon approval of the development stage plan, and within the time established in division (D)(3)(f) of this section, the applicant shall file with the city a final plan consisting of the information and submissions required in division (D)(3) of this section for the entire PUD or for one or more stages. This plan will be reviewed and approved or denied by city staff, subject to appeal.

2. Within 30 days of its approval, the applicant shall cause the final plan, or such portions thereof as are appropriate, to be recorded with the County Recorder. The applicant shall provide the city with a signed copy verifying county recording within 40 days of the date of approval or the approval shall be null and void.

(c) Building and other permits. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, upon receiving notice from the city that the approved final plan has been recorded and upon application of the applicant pursuant to the applicable City Code provisions, the city may issue building and other permits to the applicant for development, construction and other work in the area encompassed by the approved final plan provided, however, that no such permit shall be issued unless the city is first satisfied that the requirements of all codes and City Code provisions in which are applicable to the permit sought, have been met.

(d) Limitation of final plan approval. Within 1 year after the approval of a final plan for PUD, or such shorter time as may be established by the approved development schedule, construction shall commence in accordance with such approved plan. Failure to commence construction within such period shall, unless an extension shall have been granted as hereinafter provided, automatically render void the PUD and all approvals of the PUD plan and the area encompassed within the PUD shall thereafter be subject to those provisions of this chapter, and other City Code provisions, applicable in the district in which it is located. In such cases, the Council shall forthwith adopt an ordinance repealing the PUD and all PUD approvals and re-establishing the zoning and other City Code provisions that would otherwise be applicable. The time limit established may, at the discretion of the Council, be extended for not more than 1 year.

(e) Inspections during development.

1. Compliance with overall plan. Following final plan approval of a PUD, or a stage thereof, the city shall, at least annually until the completion of the development, review all permits issued and construction undertaken and compare actual development with the approved development schedule.

2. If the city finds that development is not proceeding in accordance with the approved schedule, or that it fails in any other respect to comply with the PUD plans as finally approved, the city shall either by ordinance revoke the PUD, and the land shall thereafter be governed by the regulations applicable in the district in which it is located; or shall take such steps as it shall deem necessary to compel compliance with the final plans as approved; or shall require the landowner or applicant to seek an amendment to the final plan.
