Vicksburg City Zoning Code

ARTICLE XI

PUD, Planned Unit Development

§ 475-11.01 Intent.

Planned Unit Development provides a regulatory option that is intended to provide a degree of flexibility so as to achieve development that is in accord with the Village's Comprehensive Master Plan; economy and efficiency in the use of land, natural resources, energy, and in the provision of public services and utilities; useful open space particularly suited to the proposed development; conservation of natural features; and development that satisfies the needs of Village residents.
Furthermore, Planned Unit Development is intended to encourage innovation in land use, particularly on sites with significant natural, historical, and architectural value, or on sites that exhibit difficult development constraints. Planned Unit Development allows for a mix of land uses and clustering of residential structures, so as to reduce development costs, preserve natural features, and maintain open space.

§ 475-11.02 Eligibility criteria.

A. 
Recognizable benefits: The planned unit development must result in a recognizable and substantial benefit to the ultimate users of the project and to the community and shall result in a higher quality of development than could be achieved under conventical zoning.
B. 
Minimum size: The minimum size of a planned unit development shall be three acres of continuous land. However, in the interest of maximizing the use of a planned unit development as a tool to promote high-quality planning and development, the Planning Commission may permit a smaller planned unit development if: a) the proposed project has unique characteristics and benefits, and/or b) the parcel in question has unique characteristics that significantly impact development, such as unusual topography, tree stands, wetlands, poor soil conditions on portions of the parcel, water courses, unusual shapes or proportions, or utility easements which cross the parcel.
In such case, the applicant shall submit a letter to the Village requesting a waiver of the minimum planned development size requirements. The request shall be submitted prior to the submittal of a site plan and application for planned unit development approval. The Planning Commission shall review the request and make the final decision concerning a request to waive the planned development size requirements.
C. 
Use of public services: The proposed type and density of use shall not result in an unreasonable increase in the use of public services, facilities and utilities, and shall not place an unreasonable burden upon the subject site, surrounding land, property owners and occupants, or the natural environment. Planned unit developments shall be provided with public water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage facilities.
D. 
Compatibility with master plan: The proposed development shall not be incompatible with the Master Plan for the Village. Notwithstanding this requirement, the Village may approve a planned unit development proposal that includes uses that are not called for on the Future Land Use Map, provided that the Planning Commission and the Village of Vicksburg Council determine that such a deviation from the Future Land Use Map is justified in light of the current planning and development objectives of the Village.
E. 
Economic impact: The proposed development shall not result in an unreasonable negative economic impact upon surrounding properties.
F. 
Unified control: The proposed development shall be under single ownership or control in the form of agreements, contracts, covenants, and deed restrictions which indicate that the development can be completed as shown on the plans, and further, that all portions of the development that are not to be maintained by the developers or their successors. These legal documents shall bind all development successors in title to any commitments made as part of the documents. This provision shall not prohibit a transfer of ownership or control, provided notice of such transfer is given to the Village Clerk.
G. 
Preservation of natural, cultural, or historic features: If existing, the PUD must preserve distinctive natural features on the site to the maximum extent feasible, such as, but not limited to: woodlands, wetlands (including hydric soils), cultural or historic buildings or features, etc.

§ 475-11.03 Project design standards.

Proposed Planned Unit Developments shall comply with the following project design standards:
A. 
Permitted uses. Any land use allowed as a principal permitted use in the R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, C-2, I-1 or I-2 districts may be included in a planned unit development as a principal or accessory use, provided that:
(1) 
When the underlying zoning is R-1, R-2, R-3, a maximum of 10% of the gross site area may be occupied by commercial or office uses.
(2) 
When the underlying zoning is C-1 or C-2, a maximum of 35% of the gross site area may be occupied by residential uses.
(3) 
If the underlying zoning is I-1 or I-2, the Planned Unit Development shall contain only I-1 or I-2 used.
(4) 
Industrial uses listed in the I-1 and I-2 districts shall not be permitted in Planned Unit Developments where the underlying zoning is residential or commercial.
(5) 
There shall be a reasonably harmonious relationship between the location of buildings on the site relative to buildings on lands in the surrounding area.
(6) 
Nonresidential uses shall be separated and buffered from residential units in a manner that is consistent with good site design and planning principles.
(7) 
The mix of uses and the arrangement of those uses within a planned unit development shall not impair the public health, safety, welfare, or quality of life of residents or the community as a whole.
B. 
Location. A planned unit development may be approved in locations where the underlying zone is R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, C-2, I-1, or I-2, subject to review and approval as provided for herein.
C. 
Residential density. The overall density of residential uses within a planned unit development shall not exceed the density that could be achieved with the underlying zoning. In determining the density achievable with the underlying zoning, only the net buildable area of the site shall be considered. The "net buildable area" consists of the portion of a site which is not encumbered by regulated wetlands, steep slopes, existing and proposed road rights-of-way (including proposed road rights-of-way within the development), easements, existing structures or lots, or other existing or proposed features that would prevent construction of a building or use of the site for residential purposes. To assist in determining net buildable area, the applicant shall submit an alternate plan that shows how the site could be developed economically and legally under the underlying zoning.
An increase in density may be permitted by the Village Council, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, upon finding that the increase is justified because certain characteristics of the proposed development would result in a substantial benefit to the users and the community as a whole. Among the characteristics which the Planning Commission and Village Council may consider in making this determination are the following:
(1) 
The planned unit development exhibits extraordinary design excellence, examples of which include, but are not limited to: innovative energy efficient design; provision of additional open space above the required amount; added improvements to assure vehicular and pedestrian safety; or added landscaping or other site features to assure a long-term aesthetically pleasing appearance.
(2) 
The proposed arrangement of uses and residential densities within the planned unit development enhances the compatibility of proposed development with existing or planned land use on adjacent land.
D. 
Dimensional standards.
(1) 
Setbacks. Structures in planned unit developments shall comply with the following minimum yard setback requirements:
Residential Use
Non-Residential Use
Along perimeter adjacent to public road
50 ft.
50 ft.
Along perimeter, but not adjacent to a road
35 ft.
40 ft.
Along an internal or local road
40 ft.
50 ft.
Between parking lot and property line
Adjacent to road
50 ft.
50 ft.
Not fronting on road
20 ft.
20 ft.
Modification to these yard setback requirements may be approved by the Village Council, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, upon making the determination that other setbacks would be more appropriate because of the topography, existing trees and other vegetation, proposed grading and landscaping, or other existing or proposed site features.
E. 
Distance between buildings. Buildings within a planned unit development shall comply with the following spacing requirements:
(1) 
Any detached single family structure (or accessory structure thereto) shall be located at least 15 feet from any other detached single family structure (or accessory structure thereto).
(2) 
The minimum rear yard setback and minimum lot size for detached single family structures and accessory structures thereto in a planned unit development shall be based on good planning and design principles, taking into account the degree of compatibility between adjoining uses, sensitivity to the characteristics of the site, the need for free access for emergency vehicles, the need for adequate amounts of light and air between buildings, and the need for proper amounts of open space for the exclusive use of residents on the site.
(3) 
Residential buildings containing more than one unit (i.e., apartments, townhouses, attached dwellings) shall conform to the spacing requirements set forth within this chapter.
(4) 
The distance between adjacent, freestanding, nonresidential structures shall be based on good planning and design principles, taking into account the need for: free access for emergency vehicles, adequate amounts of light and air between buildings, and proper amounts of landscaping.
Modification to these building spacing requirements may be approved by the Village Council, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, upon making the determination that other building spacing requirements would be more appropriate because of the particular design and orientation of buildings.
F. 
Building height. Buildings within a planned development shall not exceed 35 feet in height.
G. 
Parking and loading. Planned unit developments shall comply with the parking and loading requirements specified in Article VII of the Zoning Ordinance.
H. 
Landscaping. Planned unit developments shall comply with the parking and loading requirements specified in the Zoning Ordinance.
(1) 
General site requirements. All unpaved portions of the site that are not left in a natural state shall be planted with grass, ground cover, shrubbery, or other suitable live plant material, which shall extend to any abutting road shoulder or curb edge. Seeded areas shall be watered and fertilized regularly so as to provide a healthy lawn within 90 days after planting.
(2) 
Landscaping adjacent to roads. All commercial, office, and multiple family uses shall comply with the requirements for landscaping adjacent to roads as stipulated within this chapter.
(3) 
Berm requirements. Wherever front, side, or rear yards adjacent to public rights-of-way are used for parking, a berm shall be required to screen the parking from view of the road. The berm shall be a minimum of two feet in height, and shall be planted in accordance with the previous requirements for landscaping adjacent to roads.
(4) 
Screening. Screening in the form of a landscaped berm, greenbelt, wall or fence shall be required wherever a commercial or office use is located adjacent to a residential use, school, park, or similar public area. A landscaped berm or greenbelt is preferred rather than a wall or fence by itself. Depending on the design, a wall or fence with some landscaping could be found to be equally desirable.
Landscaped screening shall comply with the requirements in this chapter. If a wall or fence is used instead of landscaping, the following requirements shall be complied with:
(a) 
Location. Required obscuring walls or fences shall be placed inside and adjacent to the lot line except where underground utilities interfere with placement of the wall or fence at the property line, in which case the wall or fence shall be placed on the utility easement line located nearest the property line.
(b) 
Time of construction. Wherever construction of an obscuring wall or fence is required adjacent to residentially-zoned or used property, the wall or fence shall be installed prior to the beginning of site grading and general construction, except where such activity would result in damage to the wall or fence.
(c) 
Corner clearance. No wall or fence shall be erected that will obstruct the view of drivers in vehicles approaching an intersection of two roads or the intersection of a road and a driveway.
(d) 
Wall specifications. Required walls shall be constructed of masonry material that is architecturally compatible with the materials used on the facade of the principal structure on the site, such as face brick, decorative block, or poured concrete with simulated brick or stone patterns.
(e) 
Fence specifications. Fences used for screening shall be constructed of cedar, or No. 1 pressure-treated wood, or durable synthetic wood-like material. Chain link fences shall not be permitted for screening purposes.
(f) 
Height requirements. Walls or fences used for screening shall be a minimum of six feet in height.
(5) 
Parking lot landscaping. Off-street parking areas containing greater than 10 spaces shall be provided with interior landscaping in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
(6) 
Treatment of existing plant material. In instances where healthy plant material exists on the site prior to its development, the Village may permit substitution of such plant material in place of the requirements set forth previously, provided such substitution is in keeping with the spirit and intent of this article and the Ordinance in general.
(7) 
Variation from specific requirements. The Village Council, upon receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, may allow variation from the specific requirements set forth herein, upon finding that the substitute landscaping is in keeping with the spirit and intent of this article, and has equal landscape value as the required landscaping. In evaluating landscape values, the Village Council and Planning Commission shall consider preservation of natural features, aesthetic qualities, numbers of plants, and similar considerations.
I. 
Open space requirements. Planned developments containing a residential component shall provide and maintain usable open space that is accessible to all residents, which shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) 
A minimum of 20% of the gross area of the site or portion thereof that is designated for residential use shall be set aside for such common open space. The boundaries of the gross site area shall encompass buildings, roads, sidewalks, landscaping, natural areas, water bodies, and other features that are an integral part of the residential development plan.
(2) 
Reduction in lot area below the minimum lot area specified by the underlying zoning shall be set aside and reserved as permanent open space to the maximum feasible extent, recognizing that a portion of the parcel must be set aside for roads, stormwater detention, and other facilities.
(3) 
Open space shall be located on the parcel to meet the following objectives:
(a) 
To enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the development.
(b) 
To preserve distinctive natural features.
(c) 
To provide opportunities for leisure activities for residents of the development.
(d) 
To minimize impact from development on wetlands, rivers, and other sensitive environmental areas.
(e) 
To maintain open character along main roads.
(4) 
Any pervious land area that is available for the common use of all residents may be included as required open space, except as follows:
(a) 
No more than 25% of the required usable open space shall include the area of any water bodies or wetlands which are covered only periodically with standing water (such as hardwood swamps or "wet" meadows). Required usable open space shall not include the area of any designated wetland that is covered by water or muck such that it is not a suitable environment for walking or similar passive leisure pursuits.
(b) 
Required usable open space shall not include the area of any public or private road, the area of any easement providing access to the site, the area of any commercial recreation use (such as a golf course), or the area of any required setbacks.
(5) 
The Village Council, upon receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, may require open space to set aside by the developer through an irrevocable conveyance, such as deed restrictions or covenants that run with the land or through a conservation easement, whereby all rights to develop the land are conveyed to a land conservation organization or other public body, assuring that the open space will be developed according to the site plan. Such conveyance shall:
(a) 
Indicate the proposed use(s) of the required open space.
(b) 
Indicate how the leisure and recreation needs of all segments of the population residing in or using the planned development will be accommodated.
(c) 
Provide for the privately-owned open space to be maintained by private property owners with an interest in the open space.
(d) 
Provide maintenance standards and a maintenance schedule.
(e) 
Provide notice of possible assessment to the private property owners by the Village of Vicksburg for the cost of maintenance of the open space in the event that it is inadequately maintained and becomes a public nuisance or in the event that other public facilities are not maintained.
(f) 
Be recorded with the Kalamazoo County Register of Deeds to provide record notice of the restrictions to all persons having an interest in the property contained in the planned unit development.
(6) 
Notwithstanding the requirements cited above, open space may be redeveloped for another purpose subject to the following conditions:
(a) 
The redevelopment of open space shall require an amendment to the planned unit development, and shall therefore constitute an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance which shall be subject to the right of petition and referendum by the electors of the Village, as provided for by current Michigan law.
(b) 
Redevelopment of open space shall not be permitted for the first 25 years after the date of the initial approval of the planned unit development by the Village Council. Commencing on the 25th anniversary of the initial approval, and at every subsequent 25-year interval thereafter, there shall be a one-year period during which proposals to redevelop the open space may be submitted for review and action by the Village. Proposals to redevelop may not be submitted at any other time except during these one-year periods.
(c) 
In the event that a proposal to redevelop open space is properly submitted during an appropriate one-year time frame, the Village shall proceed with review and shall take action on the proposal even if the review process extends beyond the one-year period.
(d) 
Proposals to redevelop open space shall require the written consent of at least 90% of all persons having an interest in the property contained in the planned unit development at the time the proposal is submitted.
(e) 
The overall density of residential development proposed for redeveloped open space shall not exceed the density that could be achieved with the underlying zoning that was in place at the time the original planned unit development plan was adopted.
(f) 
These provisions for redevelopment of open space may be included in the conveyance described in the preceding subsection.
J. 
Frontage and access. Planned unit developments shall front onto a paved public road and the main means of access to the development shall be via the paved public road. The nearest edge of any entrance or exit drive shall be located no closer than 400 feet from any street or road intersection (as measured from the nearest intersection right-of-way line).
Each residential lot shall have frontage on, and each residential dwelling unit shall have direct access to, an approved public road. Individual residential dwelling units in a planned unit development shall not have direct access onto a county primary road or state trunkline. The planned unit development should be designed so that through-traffic, including traffic generated by commercial uses within the planned unit development, is discouraged from traveling on residential streets.
K. 
Pedestrian access. Sidewalks shall be provided along all roads within the planned unit development.
L. 
Additional considerations. The Planning Commission and Village Council shall take into account the following considerations, which may be relevant to a particular project: perimeter setbacks; road, drainage and utility design; underground installation of utilities; the extent to which sidewalks, trails, open space, playgrounds and other areas used by pedestrians are insulated from roads, drives, and parking areas used by vehicles; achievement of an integrated development with respect to signage, lighting, landscaping and building materials; and, noise reduction and visual screening mechanisms, particularly in cases where non-residential uses adjoin residentially used or zoned property.

§ 475-11.04 Approval procedures.

A. 
Zoning amendment. The approval of a Planned Unit Development application shall require an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to revise the zoning map and designate the subject property as "PUD, Planned Unit Development."
