A.   Purpose: As is the case with Overlay Zoning Districts, Special Purpose Zoning Districts are tools for dealing with unique neighborhoods or settings or accomplishing special planning and zoning goals. Unlike Overlay Districts, however, Special Districts are base zoning classifications; they do not "over-lay" other base zoning districts.

   B.   Establishment: Except as otherwise expressly stated, Special Districts may be established, amended or removed only in accordance with the zoning map amendment procedures of section 10-15-3 of this title. (Ord. 2018-16, 12-4-2018)

   A.   Purpose: The AG, Agricultural District is primarily intended to:

      1.   Accommodate agricultural, mining and very-low density residential uses in rural and semi-rural areas;

      2.   Serve as a holding zone pending an orderly transition to more urban development that can be efficiently served by public facilities and services; and

      3.   Protect open space and natural resource areas, including flood-prone lands.

   B.   Use Regulations: Uses are allowed in the AG District in accordance with the use regulations of section 10-6-1 of this title.

   C.   Lot And Building Regulations: The lot and building regulations of table 5-1 of this section apply to all principal uses and structures in AG Districts, except as otherwise expressly stated in this UDO. General exceptions to lot and building regulations and rules for measuring compliance can be found in chapter 19 of this title. Additional regulations governing accessory uses and structures can be found in chapter 8 of this title.

 

   Note:

      1.    Greater building heights may be approved in accordance with the special exception procedures.

   A.   Purpose And Intent: The PD, Planned Development District is established to accommodate development that would be difficult or impossible to carry out under otherwise applicable UDO regulations. Different types of PDs will promote different planning goals. In general, however, all PDs are intended to result in development that is consistent with the City's adopted plans and that provides greater public benefits than could be achieved using conventional UDO regulations. PDs are also generally intended to promote one or more of the following:

      1.   Variety in housing types and sizes to accommodate households of all ages, sizes, incomes and lifestyle choices;

      2.   Compact, mixed-use development patterns where residential, commercial, employment, civic, and open space areas are located in close proximity to one another;

      3.   A transportation network designed to accommodate safe and efficient motorized and non-motorized travel;

      4.   Direct, safe and convenient non-motorized travel routes within the boundaries of the development site, as well as connections to abutting properties;

      5.   Buildings and other improvements that by their arrangement, massing, design, character and site design elements establish a quality, livable environment;

      6.   Sustainable development practices;

      7.   Incorporation of open space amenities and natural resource features into the development design;

      8.   Low-impact development (LID) and Best Management Practices for managing stormwater; and

      9.   Flexibility and creativity in responding to changing social, economic and market conditions.

   B.   Initiation Of Amendment: Applications to establish a PD District or expand the boundaries of an existing PD District may be initiated only by the owner of the subject property.

   C.   Statement Of Intent: Each PD application must include a written explanation describing how the proposed development meets the purpose and intent described in subsection A of this section and the supplemental review and approval criteria of subsection D2 of this section.

   D.   PD Approval Procedures:

      1.   Overview Of Required Approval Process:

         a.   A property owner request for rezoning to the PD Zoning District requires review and approval of a zoning map amendment (see section 10-15-3 of this title), which is processed concurrently with a development plan (see section 10-15-7 of this title).

         b.   After approval of the zoning map amendment and development plan, site plan review and approval is required in accordance with the procedures of section 10-15-8 of this title.

         c.   No building permit may be issued and no building or development may occur in a PD Zoning District until a subdivision plat incorporating the provisions of the approved development plan has been approved and filed of record in the County Clerk's Office.

      2.   Supplemental Review And Approval Criteria: In making recommendations and decisions on PD District zoning map amendments, review and decision-making bodies must consider the zoning map amendment criteria of subsection 10-15-3H of this title and the following factors:

         a.   Whether the proposed planned development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and any other adopted plans for the subject area;

         b.   Whether the development plan complies with the PD District provisions of this section;

         c.   Whether the development will result in public benefits that are equal to or greater than those that would have resulted from development under conventional zoning (non-PD) regulations; and

         d.   Whether appropriate terms and conditions have been imposed on the approval to protect the interests of surrounding property owners and residents, existing and future residents of the PD and the general public.

      3.   Subdivision Plats:

         a.   The subdivision plat must be filed with the Planning Commission and processed in accordance with the subdivision regulations.

         b.   In addition to the information and submittals required pursuant to the subdivision regulations, a PD District subdivision plat must include all covenants necessary to reasonably ensure continued compliance with the approved development plan. In order that the public interest may be protected, the City of Pryor Creek must be made beneficiary of the covenants pertaining to such matters as location of uses, height of structure, setbacks, screening, and access. Such covenants must provide that the City of Pryor Creek may enforce compliance of the covenants, and further provide that amendment of the covenants requires Planning Commission approval and the filing of record of a written amendment to covenants, endorsed by the Planning Commission.

      4.   Issuance Of Building Permits: Building permits may be issued only after the required subdivision plat is approved and filed of record in the County Clerk's Office. Any permits issued must be in accordance with the approved plat incorporating the provisions of the approved development plan.

   E.   Abandonment: Abandonment of an approved PD requires that the property be rezoned to another zoning district in accordance with the zoning map amendment procedures of section 10-15-3 of this title or that a new PD be approved following the procedures of subsection D of this section.

   F.   Use Regulations And Lot And Building Standards: The use regulations and lot and building standards that apply within a PD Zoning District must be established at the time of development plan approval by the City Council.

   G.   Other Development Standards: Unless otherwise expressly provided in the approved development plan, properties within the PD District are subject to all other applicable provisions of this UDO and the subdivision regulations. The PD District is expressly intended to accommodate the use of alternative standards for streets and other public improvements based on the approved development plans. The development plan must specify the deviations proposed from otherwise applicable public improvement standards if deviations from otherwise applicable standards are proposed.
