(a)

Purpose. The purpose of the planned unit development district (PUD) is to provide the maximum of land and design development opportunities in harmony with reasonable area, building coverage, height, setback and service requirements; to provide the means of mixing such appropriate land use as may not otherwise be permitted in any of the established zoning districts; and for other purposes; provided, however, that no uses shall be permitted in said district unless otherwise permitted in this chapter. The PUD zoning district will be applied only upon specific petition by property owners proposing a unique type of planned development in keeping with the purpose of the district as stated above.

(b)

Review. The proposed site plan provided herein shall be reviewed by the city staff prior to adoption by the city commission as herein outlined.

(c)

Uses permitted. Uses shall be only those uses or types of uses which are shown on the approved site plan for said planned unit development district. Mobile food dispensing vehicles are specifically allowed as a temporary accessory structure in commercial planned unit developments only, and only as provided by § 509.102, F.S., and article II of chapter 54 of City Code ("Food Trucks").

Except as provided in subsection (l) herein, said uses shall be established only at such locations and in such intensity as set further on said approved site plan. Uses proposed must be found to be of such types and to be so located and arranged as to assure complete compatibility among themselves and with adjacent existing or future land uses upon adjacent property.

(d)

Area requirements. There shall be no minimum area requirements for a planned unit development district. There shall be no minimum lot area requirements for individual buildings; provided that with respect to residential developments, or residential portions within mixed use development, the overall density shall be no greater than two residential units per acre. Notwithstanding, the city commission may allow for a greater density (not to exceed the maximum density allowed pursuant to the city's comprehensive plan) where the city commission finds that compliance with the above density requirements would be a practical impossibility or would cause unnecessary hardship and/or where the owner/developer proposes an alternative which conforms to the general intent and spirit of the chapter 82 of this Code.

(e)

Property development criteria. The following property development criteria shall apply to all planned unit development district zoning applications:

(1)

General standards. All proposed planned unit development district developments shall conform to land-use categories as specified by the "Comprehensive Plan for the City of San Antonio, Florida"; shall be designed and located to minimize all the effects of external development impacts, such as noise, traffic, lighting and environmental concerns to surrounding land uses; and shall protect the natural features for the development site in accordance with this chapter and the "Comprehensive Plan for the City of San Antonio, Florida."

(2)

Specific development criteria.

a.

Internal setback standards. PUD development plans shall provide safe, efficient, convenient and harmonious groupings of structures and uses and shall have the same distance between buildings as would be required in accordance with the following minimum standards:

Where the rear yard of single-family and two-family buildings abuts a street right-of-way, the rear yard shall not be less than 30 feet measured from the right-of-way line to the rear wall of the main building.

2.

Nonresidential buildings shall have a minimum distance between buildings of 20 feet on the side and 20 feet on the rear and a minimum front yard setback of 50 feet measured from the street line to the wall of the main building.

Where the rear yard of nonresidential buildings abuts a street right-of-way, the rear yard shall not be less than 20 feet measured from the right-of-way line to the rear wall of the main building.

b.

Height limitations. Building height limitations are restricted as follows:

Building height shall be defined as the vertical distance between the mean elevation of the proposed finished grade at the structure front and the highest point of the structure; excluding such roof structures as ventilating fans, solar energy collectors, stairs, etc.
