19.85.030 Application and development plan.

(A) Zoning.

(1) An application to establish an RCD zone shall be processed in accordance with the rezoning procedures outlined in Section 19.10.100.

(2) Master Plan. The request for RCD zoning shall be accompanied by an RCD master plan.

(3) The master plan may be conceptual in nature, but should sufficiently document graphically and otherwise the nature and mix of residential, nonresidential and recreational/open space uses. The master plan shall include the following:

(a) Identification and approximate location of residential and nonresidential uses by planning sub-area.

(b) Individual planning sub-areas shall demonstrate the use types and ranges of the maximum residential densities and general intensity of nonresidential uses. Residential densities of each planning area shall not exceed the cumulative total of actual developed dwelling units permitted by the RCD master plan.

(c) Conceptual plans and/or reports identifying design compatibility and preservation techniques intended for landscaping, natural features, screening, lighting, and other site/building design elements in the RCD master plan.

(B) Preliminary Development Plan.

(5) Where a subdivision plat contains highly sensitive or significant natural features, “no build” restriction areas shall be placed within designated boundaries on the final plat for their preservation. “No build” restriction areas for highly sensitive natural areas shall be used to ensure preservation of such open space in perpetuity. To further protect sensitive natural areas, “nondisturbable area envelopes” may be used, the locations and sizes of which shall take into account preservation of the view corridors from both common areas and from individual lots to the fullest extent practicable. These “no build” areas may include, but are not limited to, significant features such as major rock outcrops, mature stands of trees, or drainage areas within the site.

(a) If it is found that a significant portion of the site and/or lots are to be labeled with “no build” restrictions, a separate map depicting these areas may be required as separate from the final plat.

(b) The “no build” area(s) shall not require legal descriptions, but shall be recognized by the planning and zoning director as an approved document to be used to review development plans of individual lots or tracts. Minimum areas, stated as square footage, shall be noted for each lot or tract. The building permit applicant shall indicate, on a site or plot plan, the same identifiable “no build” areas outlined on the final plat for that lot or tract. (Ord. No. 407, § 1, 1-7-97; Ord. No. 472, § 1, 4-4-00; Ord. No. 2009-08, §§ 1, 2, 6-2-09. 1976 Code § 15-1-47.1(C))

19.85.040 Development standards.

All RCDs shall meet the following development standards:

(A) Landscaping. This landscape section shall apply to the entire area of sites where no significant native vegetation and trees exist. The undisturbed portion of sites which meet the following criteria shall be exempted. If the site contains significant stands of mature trees, and special care is given to remove only those trees and shrubs where approved improvements are to be constructed, and a conscientious effort has been made to preserve the surrounding natural vegetation, then the portion of the site which has not been disturbed shall be deemed to be landscaped and is exempt from the requirements of this section. For the purpose of this section, “undisturbed” shall mean areas where no native vegetation has been removed and no grading or other damage to the native surface has taken place.

(1) Single and Multifamily Residential. Single and multifamily development shall maintain a “nondisturbable area envelope.” The envelope is to ensure minimal disturbance of the natural grade and vegetation of areas outside the envelope. The total area of the disturbable area envelope (excluding pedestrian walkways, parking areas and courtyards) shall be no greater than forty (40) percent of the area of the single-family lot or multifamily residential (townhouse, condominium) development. All disturbed areas not taken up by structures or other impervious surfaces shall be re-vegetated with native or commonly accepted equal trees, shrubs and other vegetative ground cover.

(2) Nonresidential. A minimum of thirty (30) percent of each lot or site shall be landscaped, which at a minimum shall include the following:

(a) The required front and street side yards shall be entirely landscaped, except for necessary driveways, parking areas and pedestrian paths. Such landscaped areas shall be planted with a minimum of one (1) fifteen (15) gallon tree and two (2) five (5) gallon shrubs per fifty (50) linear feet.

(b) All parking areas for four (4) or more vehicles shall contain landscaped islands at all entry/exit points to the parking area, at ends of parking aisles and between lengths of twelve (12) parking spaces in a row; such landscaped islands shall have a minimum width of seven (7) feet and a length equal to that of the adjacent parking space; such landscaped islands shall be planted with a minimum of one (1) fifteen (15) gallon deciduous tree and three (3) five (5) gallon shrubs.

(3) General Requirements.

(a) In addition to the minimum on-site landscaping, the areas in public street rights-of-way not used for vehicular or pedestrian traffic and lying adjacent to individual properties shall be landscaped; such areas shall contain one (1) fifteen (15) gallon tree and three (3) five (5) gallon shrubs for every fifty (50) feet of lineal street frontages unless native vegetation is maintained in its natural state as approved and set forth in this subsection (A). Plant species shall be used that are noninvasive to underground utility lines. Such trees and shrubs may be clustered and located within the street right-of-way or partially within the adjacent ten (10) feet of the site. Adequate vision clearances at driveways and street intersections shall be maintained.

(b) All landscaping shall be compatible with adjacent properties within the RCD. All trees, shrubs and ground cover should be a high altitude tolerant native or commonly accepted equal species.

(c) Rock material used in landscaping shall be subordinate to and not a substitute for plant material.

(B) Buffer. Buffers are required at district boundaries and to separate dissimilar uses within an RCD project. Buffers specified herein should not be viewed as an additional requirement above and beyond respective building setback requirements. Required building setbacks constitute a portion of the required buffer.

(1) Minimum natural and/or enhanced landscape buffers between any residential and nonresidential uses shall be a minimum of twenty (20) feet. At zoning district boundaries, this buffer shall be a minimum of thirty-five (35) feet.

(2) Buffers between adjacent land uses may be required by the city council to obtain greater separations than the specified setbacks required in the land use designation where necessary to protect existing adjacent residential, business, commercial or industrial uses.

(C) Screening. The following screening regulations are provided to mitigate unsightly areas, objects and equipment, and to provide privacy between dissimilar uses. Screening, where required, shall be the responsibility of the property owner.

(1) Outdoor storage of materials, equipment, vehicles, trailers and similar items, outdoor refuse container areas, ground mounted mechanical equipment, loading docks and service bays shall be screened from view with materials compatible with the architecture of the principal building on the same site pursuant to subsection (F) of this section.

(2) Nonresidential parking areas shall be screened from street view by a three (3) foot high screen consisting of masonry or other type walls, earth berms or dense landscaping, or a combination of two (2) or more of these elements. Such walls or earth berms shall be enhanced by appropriate vegetative landscaping materials. Such walls shall be designed to be compatible with the architecture of the principal building on the same property or area pursuant to subsection (F) of this section, Building, Structure and Site Design.

(3) Where any non-single-family lot line adjoins a single-family residential lot, a six (6) foot high solid material fence shall be constructed along the property line in addition to the landscaped buffer required in subsection (B)(2) of this section. Similar screening may be required between other dissimilar uses, as determined by the planning and zoning director or designee.

(4) Openings no greater than six (6) feet wide in screening walls and buffer landscaping necessary to facilitate pedestrian and bicyclist traffic may be required where determined by the planning and zoning director.

(5) The use of solid material fences for the purpose of privacy screening between dissimilar uses may be waived if the applicant can provide alternatives for adequate screening to be determined by performance (i.e., by completely concealing or disguising the unsightly areas, object or equipment). In all cases, the applicant shall bear the burden of proving adequacy of required screening by including renderings, photographs or plans to accompany application or building permits. Preservation of view corridors shall be treated as good cause for flexibility in the requirement for visual screening.

(6) Fencing around tennis courts or driving ranges shall have a maximum height of twelve (12) feet.

(7) Roof-mounted mechanical equipment shall be screened from view on all sides by materials that are an integral part of the design and finish of the building upon which they are mounted; such materials shall be equal to or greater in height than the mechanical equipment they are intended to screen.

(D) Site Design and Building Orientation. Site design and building orientation shall preserve the natural environment and protect the privacy of adjacent users as much as practicable. With this intent, the following standards and alternatives apply when, in the opinion of the planning and zoning director, alternatives or reductions will minimize the impact upon or the preservation of existing mature trees, vegetation, major rock outcrops, and riparian areas, and will not be detrimental to the use of the property or to adjacent properties:

(1) Loading areas and service bays shall not be located on any side of any building fronting upon a street, unless such location would cause undue destruction of significant natural environmental features; if located on a side of a building fronting upon a street, such loading areas and bay doors shall be screened from view using the same screening requirements as in subsection (C) of this section.

(E) Building Separations and Setbacks.

(1) Minimum setbacks for single-family residential detached structures with lots twenty thousand (20,000) square feet or greater shall conform to the AR-43 zoning district requirements of this Code. All other single-family and multifamily developments shall conform to the setbacks in the R1-15 zoning district, except as specifically set forth herein.

(2) Minimum setbacks for commercial developments shall meet the setback requirements of the Neighborhood Commercial zoning district.

(3) Where more than one (1) detached, multifamily residential building occupies one (1) lot or one (1) tract or multiple contiguous tracts, there shall be a minimum separation of twenty (20) feet between such residential buildings of one (1) story and/or fifteen (15) feet in height. Such separation shall be increased by five (5) feet for each story and/or each fifteen (15) feet in height above the first story.

(4) There shall be a minimum separation of twenty (20) feet for any one (1) story building, other than a detached, single-family residence, which is located adjacent to a single-family residence or lot; such separation shall be increased by ten (10) feet for each story and/or each fifteen (15) feet in height above the first story and/or thirty-five (35) feet in height.

(5) Where existing mature trees, significantly tall rock outcrops or other terrain features provide adequate privacy screening between buildings as described in subsections (E)(2) and (E)(3) of this section, the planning and zoning director may reduce the building separations and setbacks required herein.

(6) Where special architectural design elements create privacy through the location of windows, doors, walls and private yards or courts or other design features, the building separations and setbacks required in subsections (E)(2) and (E)(3) of this section may be reduced if, in the opinion of the planning and zoning director, the intent of this section is provided for.

(7) Where reduction of building setbacks and separations, parking and loading requirements and locations pursuant to subsections (E)(1) through (E)(6) of this section are desired by the applicant, the applicant must submit a site plan of existing conditions, visual analysis, construction documents or other reasonable proof in support of such reductions or deviations when filing for a building permit.

(F) Building, Structure and Site Design. It is the intent of the RCD that buildings, structures and landscaping be compatible with the natural environment and existing nearby neighborhoods within the RCD. To further this intent, the developer shall be required to form property owners associations to review and approve the compatibility of proposed buildings, structures, walls and other screening and landscaping, site plans and grading plans. Evidence of such approval must be provided by the applicant at the time of submittal for building and grading permits. A documented determination of incompatibility shall be cause to obtain the compatibility to sign off by the property owners association. The city’s role in enforcement of compatibility shall be tied to the property owners association’s determination of compatibility or incompatibility at the building/site/grading plan permitted stages only.

(G) General Provisions. The provisions of Chapter 19.25 shall apply unless otherwise specified herein.

(H) Signs. The provisions of Chapter 19.100 shall apply unless otherwise specified herein.

(I) Parking and Loading. The provisions of Chapter 19.105 shall apply unless otherwise specified herein.
