1140.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT .
The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) District provisions is to provide a means of development that is flexible and innovative when development of a site by standard, more rigid, conventional zoning district regulations may produce less efficient use of the land and less amenities and benefits for the community and users of the development. Development under Planned Unit Development provides a means for encouraging ingenuity, imagination and flexibility on the part of land owners, engineers, architects, site planners and developers in the planning and design of land areas.
(Ord. 12-19. Passed 7-1-19.)
1140.02 GENERAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS.
(a) Project Control and Ownership. Planned unit development district designation is intended to apply to development sites that are under single ownership or unified control and to any comprehensive design, planning and development of the site. The project land may be owned, leased, or controlled by either one or more persons, partnerships, corporations or other appropriate business associations capable of satisfying the objectives and requirements of the planned unit development district. The city may require proof of ownership, covenants, easements, and other forms of property rights or control to ensure satisfactory compliance with PUD objectives and requirements.
(b) PUD Agreement. Upon approval of Final Development plan, the city, at its sole discretion, may require the PUD developer to enter into a PUD agreement with the city, and to furnish a performance bond for the purposes of assuring satisfaction of completion requirements for improvements such as landscaping and drainage control facilities and any conditions and safeguards as may be set by the City Council and the adopted ordinance approving the specific PUD development. At its discretion, the city may accept a letter of credit or other form of performance guarantee and security in lieu of a performance bond. In all cases the sufficiency and adequacy of such bond, letter of credit or other form of guarantee or security shall be at the sole determination of the City.
(c) Utility Requirements. All initial and all future expanded utility systems within the limits of all planned unit development districts are required to be placed underground. Utility systems subject to this requirement shall be those that primarily serve the development within the PUD district and shall include, but not be limited to telephone, cable television, and electrical systems. Appurtenances of these systems which can be effectively screened may be excluded from this requirement if the Planning Commission determines that such appurtenances are essential for utility service to other areas of the community and that such exclusion will not violate the intent or character of the proposed planned unit development or any conditions, restrictions or other requirements imposed upon the development.
(d) Site Arrangement Requirements. The buildings, circulation, open space, landscaping and other elements of the proposed PUD development shall be arranged, planned and designed on the site to produce:
(1) Favorable relationships with the existing natural topography, bodies of water or water courses, existing desirable vegetation, exposure to significant views and exposure to sunlight and wind;
(2) Safety, convenience and ease of pedestrian and vehicular movement on, about and throughout the site and between the site and the community;
(3) An overall positive visual quality throughout, into and from the development site;
(4) An efficient, functionally organized, and cohesive development; and
(5) All areas designed for future expansion or not intended for immediate improvements or development shall be landscaped or otherwise maintained in a neat and orderly manner.
(e) PUD Regulations. The regulations and provisions of this Zoning Code pertaining to Planned Unit Developments, Chapter 1140.01 through 1140.11 have been substantially revised. All PUD approvals, including any approved modifications, amendments or conditions, approved by the city prior to the effective date of this Ordinance and where any time limitation for such
approvals has not expired, shall be governed by the planned unit development provisions and regulations in effect immediately prior to the adoption of this Ordinance. If any time limitation attached to an approval of a PUD modification, amendment or condition has expired, then such approval shall be governed by the current provisions and regulations of Sections 1140.01 through 1140.20 and this Zoning Code.
(f) Appeal of Zoning Administrator Determination. In order to assure that Planning Commission and City Council have all information pertinent to the decision making process contained within this Chapter, the Zoning Administrator has been given the responsibility to require additional information as necessary in order for Planning Commission and City Council to make an informed decision. Any applicant who objects to the provision of additional information may request a determination by Planning Commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting. No further action shall take place regarding the application and submission until the Planning Commission has rendered its decision, which shall be final.
(g) Application Completeness and Officially Filed Status. Planned unit development applications shall not be considered officially filed until the applicant has submitted all applicable filing fees, and submitted to the Zoning Administrator all information as may be required by this Zoning Code.

1166.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
(a) The Salem Avenue Redevelopment Area is an area in transition. Disinvestment in the area has accelerated over the last few years. The deterioration of the Salem Mall and some of the nearby properties has required intervention by the City of Trotwood in order to try to stabilize the commercial development in the area. The City’s commitment to the redevelopment of the area, including making significant financial investment in the area, has necessitated creation and adoption of new development procedures in order to assure quality development and redevelopment in the SARA.
(b) To that end, the City has adopted the following regulations and procedures for the land and buildings known as the Salem Avenue Redevelopment Area. These guidelines are intended to assist architects, contractors and developers as they prepare for submission of applications for development or redevelopment in the SARA.
(Ord. 09-07. Passed 3-19-07.)
1166.02 APPLICATION PROCEDURE.
(a) All applications for zoning permits, sign permits and development approvals shall be subject to review and approval under the following Design and Development Guidelines. The Planning and Zoning Administrator shall be authorized to determine if the application should not be required to follow the application and review procedure. Reasons under which an application could be considered to be exempt may be as follows:
(1) The proposed change or modification of the development is minor. Such changes include but are not limited to minor changes to off-street parking, repairs to existing buildings which do not alter the structure design changes to building interiors, as well as any other minor changes.
(2) The application already meets the guidelines.
(3) The application is for an aspect of a development previously approved under these guidelines.
(b) Applications shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Economic Development for processing. The Planning and Zoning Administrator shall review all applications for completeness. If an application is deemed incomplete the application shall be returned to the applicant for completion; once completed, the application shall be considered officially filed.
(c) All applications shall then be forwarded to all City development-related Departments (Planning, Engineering, Economic Development, Fire and pertinent public water and sewer Departments) for review and comment. Simultaneously, applications shall be forwarded to the Design Review Committee for review and comment.
(d) Comments from Staff, Departments and the Design Review Committee shall be coordinated by the Planning and Zoning Administrator and sent to the applicant for response and revision no later than fifteen (15) working days from the date the application is considered officially filed.
(e) Upon completion of the review and response phase of the application process, the application and all pertinent documents, along with all review comments, shall be forwarded to Planning Commission for Public Hearing. The hearing shall be held at the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting which allows for fulfillment of the public notification requirements.
(f) Following public hearing and discussion, Planning Commission shall approve, disapprove, approve with conditions, or remand the application to the applicant for modification. The decision of the Planning Commission shall be considered final unless the applicant files an appeal of denial to City Council.
(g) No application made pursuant to this section that is substantially similar to an application that has been denied, wholly or in part, shall be accepted for one year from the date of the denial. The Planning and Zoning Administrator shall determine if a similar application differs enough to be considered a different application and not subject to this subsection.
(Ord. 07-25. Passed 5-5-25.)
1166.03 APPLICABILITY.
These guidelines are applicable to all new and existing commercial development (retail and service) in the Salem Avenue Redevelopment Area (SARA). Commercial development includes, but is not limited to, large and medium size “box” stores, inline (strip) multiple tenant retail, multiple tenant shopping centers that incorporate inline shops and larger anchor tenant spaces, commercial pad sites associated with a larger center and freestanding commercial buildings. The guidelines are to be applied throughout the SARA and are intended to respond to the varying conditions and constraints inherent to individual site and contextual settings.
(Ord. 09-07. Passed 3-19-07.)
1166.04 USES.
(a) Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Salem Avenue Redevelopment Area (SARA) shall be those uses permitted in the R-B Regional Business District, except as modified herein. Uses listed below as not permitted may be considered for exception upon application to the Planning Commission for consideration as a conditional use in the SARA Overlay District. Approval may be granted by Planning Commission only upon demonstration that the proposed use is compatible with other uses in the District and carries out the intent of the SARA District.
(b) Uses not permitted.
(1) The following Retail Uses shall not be permitted:
A. Second Hand and used goods stores. This shall not exclude Antique Stores as defined as follows:
Antiques (Latin antiquus, old) are objects which have reached an age which makes them a witness of a previous era in human society. Antiques are usually objects which show some degree of craftsmanship, or society, an antique is above all an object whose atypical construction and age give it a market value superior to similar objects of recent manufacture.
The definition of antique varies from source to source, product to product and year to year. But, some time-tested definitions of antique deserve consideration:
An item which is at least 100 years old and is collected or desirable due to rarity, condition, utility, or some other unique feature. Motor vehicles, tools and other items subject to vigorous use in contrast, may be considered antiques in the U.S. if older than 25 years, and some electronic gadgets of more recent vintage may be considered antiques.
Antique (noun) - Any piece of furniture or decorative object or the like produced in a former period and valuable because of its beauty or rarity.
B. Carry-outs and other businesses primarily retailing beer, wine and diluted alcohol.
C. Weapon Sales as a primary use.
D. Pawnshops
E. Adult businesses
F. Used vehicle sales, except as an accessory to a new car dealership on the same or adjacent parcel.
G. Truck and motorcycle sales, service, rental and leasing.
H. Taverns, bars and nightclubs except as an integral part of a hotel or restaurant.
(2) The following Commercial Recreation Uses shall not be permitted:
A. Adult businesses
B. Outdoor recreation, except publicly-owned facilities
C. Bingo Halls, pool halls, shooting ranges, penny arcades
(3) The following Personal and Professional Services shall not be permitted:
A. Animal boarding, animal hospitals and veterinarian facilities
B. Hospitals
C. Funeral homes and mortuaries
D. Car Washes
E. Adult and child day-care facilities
(4) The following Miscellaneous Uses shall not be permitted:
A. Storage and warehouse facilities, including mini-warehouses
(Ord. 09-07. Passed 3-19-07.)
1166.05 SITE DESIGN.
(a) The site design of commercial development is one of the most critical aspects of a successful project. Decisions made at the conceptual design stage have repercussions throughout the design development process. This section begins with a listing of some of the more common components of commercial site development.
(b) The main components of commercial site design that should be considered throughout the design development process include:
(1) Buildings, walls, and other architectural features
(2) Service, loading, refuse collection areas and storage areas
(3) Utility infrastructure and wireless communications infrastructure
(4) Required open spaces, special user amenities (i.e. pedestrian plazas, enhanced pedestrian zones) and other special features (i.e. focal architectural elements, landscape features and public art).
(5) Parking lots, parking structures, parking canopies and vehicular circulation/access
(6) Pedestrian circulation systems, transit facilities, and bicycle facilities
(7) Drive through facilities including associated equipment, signage and circulation
(8) Ancillary uses (i.e. - ATM’s, retail kiosks, vending equipment and news racks)
(9) Open air display and sales (i.e. garden shops, propane, and seasonal items such as firewood)
(10) Shopping cart storage and collection areas
(c) Site designs should respond to local contextual influences and to the site designs of adjoining developments. Elements that could be coordinated between adjacent sites include:
(1) Shared driveways for accessing perimeter streets
(2) Linkages of internal vehicular circulation systems
(3) Linkages of interior pedestrian systems with the systems of adjoining sites
(4) Linkages/continuation of open space systems
(5) Perimeter open space and landscape buffers zones
(6) Areas and access for service and refuse collection
(7) Drainage and retention facilities
(8) Linkages of other networks systems and functional areas where a coordinated site design approach will benefit the cohesiveness of the larger area
(d) Parking Facilities.
(1) Commercial developments are encouraged to not exceed parking requirements imposed by the City and to seek opportunities and incorporate features intended to reduce the dependence on the automobile (i.e. – enhanced accessibility to transit and pedestrian connectivity).
(2) Surface parking areas and other expansive areas of paved surfaces should be broken up with landscape planting. Ideally, in larger commercial developments, surface parking should be planned in sub-areas accommodating 250 to 300 vehicles. Each parking sub-area should be separated by a 15 to 20-foot wide landscape planting area or a more significant landscape/building area.
(3) Where parking areas occur adjacent to outdoor activity areas, a landscape buffer should be provided to reduce the impact of the parking area.
(4) Parking lots shall be designed with landscape elements and architectural features such as canoes and islands to reduce the impact of large expanses of asphalt and to discourage cross-lot taxiing by drivers.
(5) Wherever possible vehicular access to parking lots shall be concentrated and combined to common driveways. Driveway entrances shall be designed to provide free flowing right of way for entering traffic without cross traffic conflicts.
(e) Pedestrian, Transit and Bicycle Facilities.
(1) Clearly visible and direct pedestrian paths should be established between neighboring buildings, between buildings and outlying parking areas and between buildings and transit facilities.
(2) Where pedestrian circulation paths cross vehicular routes, a change in paving materials, textures or colors should be provided to emphasize the conflict point, improve visibility, enhance safety and provide added aesthetic appeal.
(3) Bicycle parking should be provided at locations that do not obstruct the flow of pedestrians, are easily identifiable and visible and convenient to customer entrances.
(4) Access paths (crosswalks) between parking lots/spaces and store buildings shall be clearly defined by use of materials which will distinguish the cross walks from parking lot paving materials. Materials such as architectural concrete, brick, stone, etc. shall be used.
(f) On-site Amenities and Special Features.
(1) Commercial centers should feature a pedestrian space(s) scaled with respect to the size and demands of the particular use. The space(s) should incorporate landscaping, shaded areas and seating opportunities for customers and employees.
(2) When defining the best area(s) for pedestrian enhancements, internal locations, edge locations and corner locations should all be considered. The best area(s) for enhanced pedestrian space(s) should be the area(s) that provides the greatest benefit to the most users and improve functional relationships and linkages internally and/or to adjoining areas.
(g) Service, Refuse Collection and Utilities.
(1) Service areas, storage areas and refuse enclosures should be oriented away from public view and screened from public areas. In larger commercial developments, trash collection, service and loading areas should be separated from main circulation and parking areas. Common usage of these facilities is encouraged.
(2) Shopping carts should be stored within the building or screened with a wall that is integral to the architectural design of the adjoining building.
(3) Utility cabinets and pedestals should not be located within parking lot landscape islands or public right of way where they cannot be screened, are exposed to damage from vehicles and/or present a visual hazard to drivers or pedestrians. Utility cabinets, pedestals and other above ground utility infrastructure should be clustered and screened to the extent allowable by operation requirements and should be painted or integrally colored a tone that is neutral to its setting. Consideration should also be given to accessibility of such facilities for required service and maintenance.
(h) Drive-through Facilities.
(1) Drive-through windows, menu boards, equipment, and associated stacking lanes should be located to minimize impacts on adjacent residential areas and should be adequately screened from public view and the view of adjacent sites.
(2) Circulation should allow for adequate length of stacking for drive through facilities that do not interfere with the movement of traffic (on or off-site) and/or pedestrian areas.
(3) Consider drive-through windows that incorporate an architectural covering consistent with the design theme of the building. Coverings over drive- throughs can help to achieve more variation to building mass and added comfort for users.
(i) Open Air Display and Sales.
(1) Outdoor display and sales areas (i.e. propane sales, firewood displays, news racks, vending machines and amusements) should be well organized within a designated zone and not prominent from off-site views.
(2) No outside audio speakers shall be allowed within the Redevelopment Area.
(j) ATM’s, Sales Kiosks and Other Ancillary Uses. Walk-up ATM’s, vending machines and similar uses should be integrated into existing or planned buildings. Freestanding sales kiosks are discouraged.
(Ord. 09-07. Passed 3-19-07.)
1166.06 ARCHITECTURE.
(a) The intent of the architectural guidelines is to ensure a base level of quality architecture that is responsive to its context and enhances the esthetic identity of the Salem Avenue Development Area rather than a design solution that is based on a standardized formula or market prototype superimposed on the selected site.
(b) Character and Context.
(1) Building design should take into consideration the unique qualities and the dominant character of the surrounding area.
(2) Buildings that derive their image primarily from applied treatments that express corporate identity are discouraged.
(3) Buildings that are stylized in an attempt to use the building, or portion of the building to identify a particular user is generally discouraged, particularly where the proposed architectural design is the result of a corporate or franchise prototype design.
(4) The design of a building that occupies a pad or portion of a building within a planned project or shopping center should share similar design characteristics and design vocabulary. Precise replication is not desirable, instead utilizing similar colors, materials and textures as well as repeating patterns, rhythms and proportions found within the architecture of other buildings in the center can be utilized to achieve unity.
(c) Scale and Proportion of Development.
(1) Massing.
A. The design of a building should reduce its perceived height by dividing the building mass into smaller scale components. One way to achieve this breakdown is to provide a well-defined base, middle and top to the building.
B. A solid building base may be achieved by elements such as low planters and walls, base planting, a base architectural veneer banding (wainscot) and treatments defined by a different material, texture or color.
C. A solid building base (and a more articulated building mass) may be achieved by the addition of covered walkways, trellises or architectural awnings that provide deep shadow at ground level.
D. Using features such as distinct and multiple architectural roof forms, clearly pronounced eaves, and distinct parapet designs and cornice treatments may achieve a well-defined building top.
(2) The design of a building should reduce its apparent bulk by dividing the building into smaller masses. Ideally, the distinction of each mass should relate to the internal function of the building and may indicate a logical hierarchy for breaking down the mass of the building.
A. The apparent mass of a building may be further reduced by the following techniques:
1. Variations in roof form and parapet heights
2. Incorporating clearly pronounced recesses and projections
3. Introduction of wall plane off-sets (dimension established by building module)
4. Use of other reveals and projections and subtle changes in texture and color of wall surfaces
5. Use of deep set windows with mullions
6. Use of ground level arcades and second floor galleries/balconies
7. Use of protected and recessed entries
8. Use of vertical accents or focal points
(3) Structures designed with HVAC, air handling equipment and other similar equipment on the roof of the structure shall be constructed so parapet walls extend to a height which will screen such equipment from adjacent roadways and properties. As a general rule, parapet heights should not exceed one-third the dimension of the adjacent grade to structural roof element measurement.
(4) Buildings or portions of a building mass over 50 feet wide are encouraged to divide their elevations into smaller parts. A pronounced change in massing, pronounced changes in wall planes (fenestrations, crenellations, façade indentations) and introducing significant variations in the cornice/roofline are all possible methods to accomplish the desired divisions of elevations into smaller parts.
(5) Excessive use of decorative detail applied to the surface of a building is discouraged.
(d) Design of Pedestrian Frontages.
(1) Building frontages and sides of buildings oriented to the street or other public areas (i.e. parks, open space, transit facilities) should incorporate a combination of arcades, pedestrian level display windows, storefronts, and store entrances.
(2) Walkways/sidewalks along the front of buildings shall be wide enough to provide ease of passage by pedestrians away from passing vehicles.
(3) Buildings frontages should exhibit human scale detail, windows and other openings along ground floor pedestrian areas.
(e) Architectural Details, Materials and Colors.
(1) Primary entrances to buildings should be distinguished with façade variations, porticos, roof variations, recesses or projections, or other integral building forms.
(2) Building colors should emphasize muted earth tones. The use of highly reflective or glossy materials should be limited and is not appropriate in all contexts.
(3) Rich materials and a variety of materials are desirable on both the wall planes, roofs and ground plane. If stone or decorative block veneers are incorporated, the material should be used to highlight significant building features and massed elements.
(4) All sides of a building should express consistent architectural detail and character. All site walls and screen walls should be architecturally integrated with the building or as approved as part of an overall master plan area.
(5) Screening devices, site walls and enclosed service, loading and refuse areas should be designed to be an integral part of the building architecture.
(6) Drive through elements should be architecturally integrated into the building, rather than appearing to be applied or “stuck on” to the building.
(7) Outside windows and doors shall not be covered with bars, grilles, cages or other protective and/or security devices.
(Ord. 09-07. Passed 3-19-07.)
1166.07 LANDSCAPE DESIGN.
(a) Landscaping should be integral to the overall design concept and should be carefully planned to serve more than one purpose. The intent of these guidelines is to ensure that landscape design contributes to the overall appearance and function of the site as well as the streetscape.
(2) Landscaping should blend with the dominant existing or planned streetscape and character of the area.
(3) Landscaping should be provided along and against all buildings to anchor it to the surrounding environment and to soften the structure. In-ground landscaping should comprise the majority of the landscaping requirement. Raised planters are acceptable when designed to accentuate the architecture and or enhance pedestrian areas.
(4) Storefront areas should incorporate significant landscaping (including canopy trees). Frontage design and signage locations should be coordinated with the placement of plant material.
(5) Trees should be used throughout paved areas and along pedestrian pathways to provide shade and to reduce heat build-up and glare. Landscape through any corridors adjoining parking areas should be a minimum of twenty feet in width when a parking module exceeds 250 cars.
(6) A landscape buffer should be provided to screen commercial uses from residential areas.
(7) Dense landscaping and/or architectural treatments should be provided to screen unattractive views and features such as storage areas, trash enclosures, utility cabinets and other similar elements.
(8) The site design for projects located at street corners should provide special landscape treatment at street intersections to anchor the corner.
(9) The use of mature trees is encouraged to provide an immediate impact especially when used in buffering adjacent uses.
(10) Proper maintenance and timely replacement of plant material is expected and required.
(11) Curbing should be installed at the edges of all planter areas adjacent to automobile circulation and parking areas.
(Ord. 09-07. Passed 3-19-07.)
1166.08 LIGHTING.
(a) Site lighting, security lighting and architectural/landscape lighting should provide the user with illumination levels appropriate for the designed activity (i.e. parking, walking). Illumination levels should also be reasonably uniform throughout the site and strive to minimize glare.
(b) General Lighting Standards.
(1) Avoid competing light levels and maintain balanced light levels on-site and between adjacent properties. The exterior lighting design must take into account the background lighting levels, lighting from other sources, and characteristics of the surrounding area.
(2) Recommended light level guidelines and uniformity ratios established by the Illumination Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) in the IESNA Lighting Handbook (current edition) should be considered along with the predominant lighting characteristics of the surrounding area when determining appropriate solutions to lighting design.
(3) Light glare or excess brightness must be minimized. Cut-off fixtures, mounting heights, and the elevation of potential viewers must all be considered for effectively controlling glare by directing light below the horizontal.
(4) Light trespass beyond property lines should be controlled by shielding or aiming fixtures away from residential properties. Light trespass should not exceed ambient levels.
(5) Security lighting and lighting of service areas should meet the standards listed above.
(c) Architectural and Landscape Lighting.
