6.14.1

Purpose. The planned development process is intended to allow land in the County to be developed through an overall unified approach, rather than a "traditional" lot-by-lot treatment afforded by the district requirements set forth in these regulations. The purpose of this section is to provide maximum design freedom in order to permit the developer to more fully utilize the physical characteristics of the site through techniques that include: reduction of lot sizes; absence of side setback; and increased densities and height allowances. In addition, these provisions are intended to diversify housing types and encourage innovative and, in some cases, "mixed use" development of land. Increased densities are permitted, so long as they can be substantiated on the basis of superior design (i.e. increased open space and use of topography and natural features), without compromising the intent and integrity of the underlying district.

6.14.2

General. The following standards shall apply to both residential and nonresidential planned developments, regardless of the district in which they are located.

1.

Uses. The uses allowed in each planned development shall be those authorized as permitted or special uses in the underlying zoning district in which the property is located.

2.

Setbacks.

a.

Side.

1.

For non-shared wall construction, the minimum side setback shall be the greater of ten (10) percent of the lot width or five (5) feet from the lot line.

2.

For shared wall construction, side setbacks may be zero.

b.

All Other Setbacks. All other setbacks shall be that specified in the underlying district.

3.

Common Open Space. At least five (5) percent of the net area of the development shall be provided as common open space, above and beyond the requirements provided in the underlying district.

4.

Preservation of Natural Features. Buildings shall be located to protect and preserve significant site features, such as hills, bluffs, valleys, stands of trees, ponds, prairies, or scenic vistas.

5.

Street Configuration. When required pursuant to Sections 3.15 ("Subdivision Waivers and Appeals"), 3.16 ("Plat Approval"), and Article 8, Subdivisions, of this chapter, streets shall be designed to protect natural soils and contours, to maintain appropriate speeds, and to discourage the use of residential streets by through traffic.

6.

Approval by Peoria City/County Health Department. All development with private water and sewer shall be approved by the Peoria City/County Health Department.

7.

Fire Wall Construction. Shared wall construction shall meet all fire-resistive requirements of the appropriate Fire Protection District.

6.14.3

Residential Planned Development.

1.

Density. Densities for residential planned developments shall vary by district as follows:

a.

For A-2 Districts, no more than one dwelling unit for every one acre of land shall be permitted, unless an environmental corridor is identified by the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, in which even smaller lots may be permitted, provided that the overall density is not increased and no lot is less than thirty-five thousand (35,000) square feet.

1.

All Dwellings. The following criteria shall apply to all new single-family dwellings built in the A-2 District, regardless of whether they are allowed in the district as permitted or special uses:

a.

Lots shall be platted on soils that are least capable of supporting continued agricultural production in order to minimize the conversion of important agricultural land. This evaluation shall be based on:

1.

Soil productivity, as determined by the County's Land Evaluation Site Assessment System (LESA); and

2.

The size or shape of land, if it can be demonstrated that the parcel does not permit the efficient and economic use of farm machinery.

b.

Where three (3) or more lots are proposed for development, lots shall be clustered or grouped together, so as to:

1.

Maximize separation between existing agricultural uses and new residences in order to reduce concerns over odor, noise, chemical drift, and other farm operations;

2.

Maximize efficiency of providing basic public services, such as police and fire protection, school bus routes, plowing, and road maintenance; and

3.

Minimize the number of curb cuts required to serve single-family dwellings on abutting collector, local, county, and/or state roads.

2.

Subdivisions and Land Splits. The subdivision of each twenty-five (25) contiguously-owned acres for the purpose of constructing single-family dwellings shall be allowed to occur only one time.

a.

Single-family residential dwellings shall be permitted on lots or parcels of land for which a deed has been recorded in the Office of the Peoria County Recorder of Deeds upon or prior to the effective date of these regulations, or a lot or parcel of land that would have been a lot of record if the document conveying the lot had been recorded on the date of its execution, provided said lots comply with standards established for the number of allowable lots in subsection 6.3.1-1.c, and the requirements which follow:

1.

Each lot created shall contain no more than one single-family dwelling; and

2.

Each lot shall be a separately conveyed parcel of land, described by a tract survey or subdivision.

b.

Consolidating parcels in the A-2 Agricultural District shall not be used as a means to redefine twenty-five (25) contiguously owned acres, so that subdivision credit is sought multiple times.

b.

For R-R Districts, no more than one dwelling unit for every one acre of land shall be permitted, unless a sensitive and critical area is identified by the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, in which event smaller lots may be permitted, provided that the overall density is not increased and no lot is less than thirty-five thousand (35,000) square feet.

c.

For R-1 Districts, no more than one dwelling unit for every one-half (½) acre of land shall be permitted, unless a sensitive and critical area is identified by the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, in which event smaller lots may be permitted, provided that the overall density is not increased and no lot is less than eighteen thousand (18,000) square feet.

d.

For R-2 and R-3 Districts, no more than one dwelling unit for every ten thousand (10,000) square feet of land shall be permitted, unless a sensitive and critical area is identified by the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, in which event smaller lots may be permitted, provided that the overall density is not increased and no lot is less than eight thousand (8,000) square feet.

2.

Location of Dwellings. Dwelling units shall be located on the parcel to ensure suitable privacy for residents and adjacent property owners, to provide sufficient spacing between structures, and to avoid lineal or parallel lay-out.

3.

Mixed Use Developments. In the R-3 District, nonresidential uses may also be integrated into residential planned developments, provided that:

a.

The nonresidential components comprise only ten (10) percent of the square footage of the planned development;

b.

The nonresidential use is of a type that is either allowed by right or by special use in the underlying district;

c.

No nonresidential use exceeds five thousand (5,000) square feet;

d.

Nonresidential uses are only located on the street level of a building that also contains residential uses; and

e.

Nonresidential uses shall be clustered wherever practicable.

6.14.4

Nonresidential Planned Development.

1.

Height. If the planned development is located on public water and if adequate fire protection can be demonstrated by the applicant, then height limitations may be increased above those set forth in the underlying district as follows:

a.

C-1 District: Four (4) stories/fifty (50) feet.

b.

C-2 District: Five (5) stories/sixty-four (64) feet.

c.

C-3 District: n/a.

d.

I-1 District: Five (5) stories/sixty-four (64) feet.

e.

I-2 District: Five (5) stories/sixty-four (64) feet.

2.

Lot Size. The minimum lot sizes of the underlying district shall be applied to nonresidential planned developments.

3.

Mixed Use Developments. In the C-1 District, residential units may also be integrated into nonresidential planned developments, provided that:

a.

The residential components comprise only thirty (30) percent of the square footage of the planned development; and

b.

No lot containing a sole residential use is less than eight thousand (8,000) square feet; and

c.

All units are either townhouse or multifamily; or

d.

Residential uses are not located on either the street level of a building that also contains nonresidential uses or on the same floor as nonresidential uses.
