It may be desirable that many properties in the city be developed in accordance with site plans prepared and approved in advance of development. To encourage such planned unit development, regulatory provisions are provided as follows in this article.

(Code 1996, § 156.110; Ord. No. 1994-06, 3-1-1994)

Whenever any property is designated as being within the planned residential unit development, the following types of uses may be authorized:

(1)

Housing development consisting of any combination of dwelling types on tracts with a minimum of five acres.

(2)

Uses permitted in the Commercial C District on tracts with a minimum area of one acre and an integral part of a planned unit development.

(3)

Recreation area and open space.

(4)

A combination of any of the developments listed or other uses permitted in the zoning districts corresponding to property on the zoning district map.

(Code 1996, § 156.111; Ord. No. 1994-06, 3-1-1994)

(a)

A site plan setting forth the uses to be incorporated into the planned residential unit development shall be approved and filed as part of the ordinance. The provisions of article VI of this chapter shall govern the review and processing of each application for a planned unit development.

(b)

Such required site plan shall show the provisions for ingress and egress to the property, access from a public street, number and density of housing units per gross acre, and sidewalks, utilities, drainage, parking space, height of buildings, maximum lot coverage, yards and open spaces, screening walls or fences and other development and protective requirements considered necessary to create a reasonable transition and protection of the adjacent property.

(c)

The planning and zoning commission may recommend and the city council may impose conditions relative to the standards of development and such conditions shall be complied with before a certificate of occupancy is issued for the use of the land or any structure, which is part of the development. Such conditions shall not be construed as conditions precedent to the approval of the zoning use, but shall be construed as conditions precedent to the granting of a certificate of occupancy.

(d)

Site plans submitted for consideration under the provisions of this section may be altered or amended with approval of the planning and zoning commission, but any change in the development shall be considered an amendment to the zoning ordinance and shall be processed in accordance with sections 156.075 through 156.079.
