PLANNED RESIDENTIAL UNIT DEVELOPMENT
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall mean:
ATTACHED DWELLING UNITS: Two (2) or more dwelling units connected by at least one wall or floor of common construction.
DEVELOPED COMMON ACTIVITY AREA: Open green space which is designed to provide activity areas for use by all residents such as playgrounds, recreational courts, picnic pavilions, gazebos and water features. Common developed activity areas shall be held by all residents in common ownership through a homeowners' association or shall be available for use by all residents if the PRUD will be held in single ownership.
FACADE: All exterior walls of a building or structure.
GROSS ACREAGE: The total amount of acreage in a PRUD development.
NET ACREAGE: The total amount of acreage in a PRUD development, excluding rights of way or roads.
OPEN GREEN SPACE: A planned open area suitable for relaxation, recreation or landscaping which may be held in common or private ownership. It should be unoccupied and unobstructed by buildings and hard surface such as asphalt or cement, except that such open green spaces may include walkways, patios, recreational activity areas, picnic pavilions, gazebos and water features so long as such surfaces do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the required open green space.
PERIPHERY: A one hundred foot (100') depth around the perimeter of the project measured inward from the property line. (Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015)
Notes
See also subsection 7-2-4D of this Code for landscaping requirements.
The minimum area for a planned residential unit development shall be as follows:
| Zone | Acres |
| R-1-10 | 10 |
| R-1-8 | 8 |
| R-1-6 | 6 |
| R-3 | 4 |
(Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015; amd. Ord. 17-23, 11-21-2017, eff. 11-21-2017)
| Zone | Square Footage | Baseline Density Units/Acre |
| R-1-10 | 1 unit per 15,000 sq. ft. | 2.9 |
| R-1-8 | 1 unit per 12,000 sq. ft. | 3.6 |
| R-1-6 | 1 unit per 9,000 sq. ft. | 4.8 |
| R-3 | 1 unit per 7,000 sq. ft. | 6.2 |
(Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015; amd. Ord. 17-23, 11-21-2017, eff. 11-21-2017)
All proposed PRUD developments shall comply with all minimum development requirements as provided in this section:
Density in excess of the baseline density for the underlying zone may be considered for projects which comply with the bonus density design requirements. The amount of density bonus shall be determined by the type of bonus density design requirements incorporated in the development proposal. In no case shall the density bonus exceed the maximum density allowed for the zone in which the development occurs according to the following chart:
| Zone | Baseline Density | Maximum Density |
| R-1-10 | 2.9 units/acre | 4.3 units/acre |
| R-1-8 | 3.6 units/acre | 5.4 units/acre |
| R-1-6 | 4.8 units/acre | 7.2 units/acre |
| R-3 | 6.2 units/acre | 8.7 units/acre |
(Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015; amd. Ord. 17-23, 11-21-2017, eff. 11-21-2017)
For applicants requesting a density greater than the baseline density, the Planning Commission shall determine whether the applicant has complied with the necessary design components as provided in section 10-11-6 of this chapter and shall assign density points as applicable. The additional units per acre allowed above the baseline density for the PRUD shall be determined by multiplying the total number of density bonus points by the density coefficient of the underlying zone. This figure is the additional number of units per acre allowed above the baseline density. This number, when added to the baseline, will determine the total density per acre for the project; provided, that the number shall not exceed the maximum density allowed in the zone. (Example: The project is in an R-3 zone and the design is awarded 75 bonus points. 75 x 0.0177 = 1.3 additional units per acre. 1.3 + 6.2 [baseline density] = 7.5 maximum units per acre for the development.) The density coefficient for each underlying zone and the total amount of points needed for the maximum density are listed below:
| Zone | Density Coefficient | Maximum Density Points |
| R-1-10 | 0.0175 | 80 |
| R-1-8 | 0.02 | 85 |
| R-1-6 | 0.024 | 100 |
| R-3 | 0.0177 | 85 |
(Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015; amd. Ord. 17-23, 11-21-2017, eff. 11-21-2017)
If greater density is requested above the baseline density, a PRUD development shall comply with one or more of the bonus density design requirements outlined in this section, depending upon the desired density increase. The planning commission shall review and determine if the proposed design complies with the intent of the design requirement before the points are granted. The density bonus points for each individual design component are in parentheses at the end of each requirement. In order to receive the maximum density allowed in the zone, the development shall have received bonus density points from at least one design component in each of the following categories: energy efficiency or building design, design theme, parking areas, recreation amenities, landscaping, open green space, and public streets. A design component cannot be used to obtain points in more than one category. The bonus density design requirements are as follows:
| 3" caliper | (5) |
| 4" caliper | (10) |
| 6' evergreen | (5) |
| 8" evergreen | (10) |
| 3" caliper | (10) |
| 4" caliper | (20) |
| 6' evergreen | (10) |
| 8' evergreen | (20) |
The planning commission, subject to the requirements of this chapter, may recommend approval or denial or approval with conditions, of the preliminary plan for the proposed planned residential unit development. (Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015)
The planning commission, subject to the requirements of this chapter, may recommend approval or denial of the final development plan for the proposed planned residential unit development. Approved final site plans will be forwarded to the building official for issuance of building permits. (Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015)
The building official shall not issue any permit for the proposed building or use within the project unless such building or use is in accordance with the approved development plan. Approved development plans shall be filed with the planning commission, city engineer, building official and city recorder. (Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015)
Unless there is substantial action leading toward completion of a planned residential unit development or an approved phase thereof within a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of approval, such approval shall expire, unless after reconsideration of the progress of the project, an extension is approved. (Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015)
In every planned residential unit there shall be reserved proper easements over the common areas to accommodate public services, including, but not limited to, the right of police and fire personnel to enter upon any part of the common areas, and to allow the city to repair or replace facilities or improvements thereon if any association fails so to do. The declaration for any such development shall include a provision covenanting with the city and all unit owners to maintain the common areas and facilities for the use of declarant and all unit owners prior to being turned over to an association. (Ord. 15-27, 12-15-2015, eff. 12-15-2015)
