§ 530-68 PDD Overlay.

Purpose.

(1)

The purpose of the PDD Overlay is to encourage and provide a means for creating desirable and quality development by permitting greater flexibility and design freedom than permitted under the basic zoning district regulations. These regulations are established to permit latitude in the development of the building sites if such development is found to be in accordance with the purpose, spirit, and intent of this chapter and the City of Weyauwega Comprehensive Plan[1] and is found not to be hazardous, harmful, offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment, property values, or the character of the neighborhood or the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Weyauwega.

[1]

Editor's Note: The Comprehensive Plan is on file in the City offices.

(2)

It is intended to permit and encourage diversification, variation, and imagination in the relationship of uses, landscaping, design, structures, open spaces, lot sizes, and heights of structures for developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. It is further intended to encourage more rational and economic development with relationship to public services and to encourage and facilitate the preservation of open space and other natural features such as woodlands, floodplains, and wetlands by incorporating these features into the overall development.

Application.

(1)

This section shall serve as an option in addition to the permitted uses and regulations applicable to all zoning districts in the City and shall apply only to those lands which are hereby and may hereafter be zoned PDD Overlay by the Common Council. Existing zoning shall continue in full force and effect and shall be solely applicable until such time as the Common Council grants final approval for the PDD Overlay.

(2)

All required improvements, construction standards, engineering standards, and all other applicable standards contained within the City of Weyauwega Code of Ordinances shall be complied with, except where specifically varied through the provisions of this chapter.

Minimum size of PDD Overlay. No district shall be established unless it contains the minimum area specified in this section and has at least 200 feet of frontage or City-approved private road access. The minimum gross area required for a PDD is as follows:

(1)

Two acres where the PDD Overlay is placed upon base residential districts.

(2)

One acre where the PDD Overlay is placed upon base commercial or industrial districts.

Uses permitted.

(1)

Basic zoning uses. The following uses are permitted in a PDD Overlay upon obtaining all necessary approvals required under this section when determined by the Plan Commission to be compatible with other existing and/or proposed uses onsite:

(a)

All principal, accessory, and conditional uses permitted under the basic zoning regulations applicable to the zoning district in which the particular property is located.

(b)

Conservation subdivision plats shall have a minimum of 50% open space, of which at least 25% must be outside of environmentally sensitive areas. Stormwater management facilities and other public facilities may be located within the 25% of land outside of environmentally sensitive areas.

(c)

A mixture of residential types and recreational, commercial, and institutional uses may be developed to serve the residents of the PDD Overlay and/or residents of the surrounding area. Also, parking, signage, and any additional use restrictions for the uses shall be addressed in the ordinance that authorizes and establishes the proposed PDD development.

(2)

Building restrictions. Requirements for building height, size and floor area, lot size, setbacks (front, side, rear, and corner side), density, and open space shall be delineated in the preliminary and final development plans and the ordinance adopted that authorizes and establishes the proposed PDD Overlay. In no case shall these requirements be less than stated in other subsections of this section, and they shall be found to not be hazardous, harmful, offensive, or otherwise adverse to the environment, property values, or the character of the proposed development, surrounding neighborhood or community, or adverse to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the PDD Overlay and/or community as a whole. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the final development plan does not address a specific zoning requirement (the non-addressed requirement), the provisions of the City of Weyauwega Zoning Ordinance shall apply to the development plan to the extent of the non-addressed requirements.

General provisions.

(1)

Engineering design standards. The width of rights-of-way, width and location of streets, sidewalks, or other paving requirements, outdoor lighting types and locations, public sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and waterlines, provision for stormwater retention and drainage, and other similar environmental engineering considerations shall be based upon a determination as to the appropriate standards necessary to perform the specific function in the specific situation; provided, however, that in no case shall construction standards be less than necessary to ensure the public safety and welfare. The City reserves the right to have the City's Engineer review all engineering aspects of the development at cost to the developer.

(2)

Approvals. The applicant shall develop the site in accordance with the terms and conditions of development presented to and approved by the Common Council. Any changes or additions to the original approved development site, structures, or plans of operation shall require resubmittal and recommendation by the Plan Commission and approval by the Common Council.

(3)

Rescinding approval. Failure to comply with the conditions, commitments, guarantees, or recommendations established in the approval of such development project shall be cause for rescinding the approval of the same. Upon notice given by the City Clerk, the applicant or agent then shall be required to appear before the Common Council at its next public meeting to explain any such failure to comply. The Common Council at such hearing shall determine whether or not the developer has failed to comply, and if there has been such a failure, may either:

(a)

Rescind its approval, whereupon such rescission and cessation of all rights and privileges of the developer and owner, including the right to complete construction or to construct any building or other structure or improvement, shall become effective on the 31st day following a written notice of such decision sent by certified mail to the developer at his or her last known address; or

(b)

Adjourn such hearing for a period not to exceed 65 days to enable the developer to comply, whereupon, if the developer is then in substantial compliance and has then established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that there will be compliance in the future, the rights and privileges of the developer and owner shall continue for such period of time that there is such compliance. If the developer has not established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Common Council that there will be compliance in the future, the Board will proceed in accordance with Subsection E(3)(a), above.

Criteria for approval. As a basis for determining the acceptability of a PDD Overlay proposal, the following criteria shall be applied to the development proposal, with specific considerations as to whether or not it is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter and the City of Weyauwega Comprehensive Plan:[2]

(1)

Character and intensity of land use. The uses proposed and their intensity and arrangement on the site shall be a visual, aesthetic, and operational character which:

(a)

Is compatible to the physical nature of the site, with particular concern for preservation of woodlands, open space, or other environmentally sensitive areas.

(b)

Would produce an attractive environment of sustained aesthetic and ecologic desirability, economic stability, and functional practicality compatible with the general development plans for the community.

(c)

Would not adversely affect the anticipated provision for school, sewer, water, snow removal, garbage pickup, fire protection, or other municipal services.

(d)

Would provide sufficient and accessible off-street parking and loading facilities. Creativity in addressing the provision of parking is encouraged. Alternate parking arrangements may be used, such as exterior or interior satellite parking lots, provision of mass transportation, etc., to provide adequate parking within the requirements of this section.

(e)

Would be developed in a manner that encourages alternative means of transportation through the provision of sidewalks and/or off-street trails and a well-connected street pattern.

(2)

Preservation and maintenance of open space. Adequate provisions shall be made for the permanent preservation and maintenance of common open space and rights-of-way either by private reservation or dedication to the public.

(a)

Any identified reserved open space within a planned development shall first be offered to the City for conveyance and dedication for public open space.

(b)

In the case of private reservation, the open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying an open space easement to the City over such open areas as part of the conditions for project approval. This easement shall restrict the areas from any further building or use except as specifically authorized as part of the development plan.

(c)

Proposed new construction or additions outside of the existing footprint of agricultural-related buildings shall require obtaining an amendment to the PDD. Agricultural-related buildings shall not be interpreted to mean new residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.

(d)

In the case of roadways, other rights-of-way, and stormwater management facilities which are not dedicated to the public, as part of the conditions for project approval there shall be granted to the City such easements over the same as may be necessary to enable the City to provide suitable and adequate fire protection, police protection, emergency services, sanitary and storm sewer, water, maintenance, recreational trail connections, and other required municipal services to the project area.

(e)

The construction, care, and maintenance of such open space reservations, stormwater management facilities, and rights-of-way shall be assured either by establishment of an appropriate management organization for the project or acceptance of dedication to the City. In any case the City shall have the right to carry out and levy an assessment for the cost of any maintenance that it feels necessary if it is not otherwise taken care of to the satisfaction of the City. The manner of assuring maintenance and assessing such cost to individual properties shall be determined prior to the approval of the final project plans and shall be included in the title of each property. The developer shall submit a landscape maintenance schedule and stormwater management plan with the final plan for approval by the City that satisfies the above requirements.

(f)

Ownership, maintenance, construction, and tax liability of private open space reservations and rights-of-way shall be established in a manner acceptable to the City and made a part of the conditions of plan approval.

(3)

Implementation schedule. The petitioners for a PDD Overlay shall submit a reasonable schedule for implementation of the development to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission and the Common Council, including suitable provisions for assurance that each phase could and should be brought to completion in a manner which shall not result in adverse effect upon the community as a result of termination at the end of any phase. The City may require the furnishing of a development agreement and a sufficient performance bond, escrow, or letter of irrevocable credit for construction.

(4)

Additional factors that may be considered by the Plan Commission and Common Council:

(a)

Height of structures.

(b)

Screening and fencing.

(c)

Landscaping.

(d)

Setbacks.

(e)
