The city council, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected and after recommendation from the city plan commission, may authorize the creation of a PD Planned Development District. The PD Planned Development District is intended to allow the development of tracts of land in a manner that will allow more flexibility than traditional zoning districts in terms of density, placement of buildings and structures, and mixture or combination of uses.

An applicant for a PD Planned Development District shall specify in the application the base zoning district to be referenced or the unique zoning regulations being proposed; the proposed use or combination of uses; proposed development regulations including all requested deviations from the base zoning district or those uniquely proposed; any other requirements of the comprehensive zoning ordinance; and be accompanied by a conceptual site plan. During the review and public hearing process, the city plan commission and city council shall require and approve a conceptual site plan as part of the ordinance granting the PD Planned Development District. The conceptual site plan shall be attached to and made a part of the ordinance establishing the PD Planned Development District. Except for minor amendments to a conceptual site plan as provided in section 7 below, an amendment to a conceptual site plan shall follow the normal process for a change in zoning.

(c)

An application for rezoning of property to the PD Planned Development District shall be accompanied by the following supportive information:

(1)

The conceptual site plan shall be submitted by the applicant at the time of application. The conceptual site plan shall graphically show the applicant's intent for the use of the land within the proposed Planned Development District. A conceptual site plan shall include, but not limited to, the major circulation pattern surrounding and serving the site, major landscaping elements and features, open space, drainage ways and wetlands, parking areas, building groupings, land uses, gross acreage for each use, lot coverage, floor area ratio when applicable, building heights and locations, identification of major access points, right-of-way or other areas to be dedicated to the city, indication of each phase of development if separate phases of development are proposed and significant physical features of the site. With respect to residential areas, the proposed density, lot configuration and circulation shall be included on the conceptual site plan.

A traffic analysis and recommendations prepared by a registered professional engineer qualified to conduct such studies. Said analysis shall include current traffic counts for streets surrounding the project, analysis of the existing capacity on those streets, projections of the amount of traffic that will be generated by the proposed development, and the ability of the thoroughfare system to absorb the increased traffic without decreasing the level of service below an acceptable level, which will be determined by the city plan commission. At the discretion of the city manager or designee, these requirements may be modified or waived.

(3)

A statement and/or plan indicating how the property relates to surrounding properties and also indicating what measures will be taken to create appropriate transitions from the subject property to neighboring tracts.

Any other supportive information the applicant feels may be beneficial to the city to describe the proposed development in the evaluation of the request.

(5)

Any other information the city manager or designee may deem necessary to adequately evaluate the proposed planned development and its potential impact on environmental, land use, utility and public service delivery systems.

(d)

Development regulations. The application for and the ordinance establishing a PD Planned Development District shall specify appropriate development regulations in written form and shall include, but may not be limited to: uses, density, lot area, lot width, lot depth, yard depth, and widths, building height, lot coverage, floor area ratio, off-street parking and loading, open space, access, screening, landscaping, project phasing or scheduling, property or homeowner management associations, and other conditions or requirements the city plan commission and city council may deem appropriate.

In selecting a base zoning district, the uses allowed in the base zoning district must be similar or compatible with those allowed in the Planned Development District. Any variations or deviations to the base zoning district or other provisions of the comprehensive zoning ordinance or other regulation shall be stated in the ordinance.

Unique PD district. In lieu of referencing a base zoning district in establishing a PD Planned Development District, unique zoning regulations exclusively affecting development within the district may be set forth in the ordinance granting the Planned Development District.

(g)

No application shall be complete until all of the enumerated data is on file with the department of development services. Upon approval, all of the above information, as may be amended, shall become a part of the ordinance granting the PD Planned Development District.

(h)

Compliance. All development and construction shall conform to the approved conceptual site plan. Before a certificate of occupancy can be granted, all development regulations and provisions of the conceptual site plan must be adequately addressed.

(Ord. No. 4009, § 1, 6-10-13)

(a)

Minor amendments to a conceptual site plan for a PD Planned Development District shall be defined as a change which does not increase the building coverage, floor area ratio or residential density of the planned development, or change permitted uses, does not decrease any of the specified area regulations or enumerated parking ratios, nor substantially changes the access or circulation on or adjacent to the site.
