This district is intended to permit a combination of low-density residential uses of various types, limited agricultural activities and associated uses. The regulations of the district are designed primarily to encourage a compatible relationship between agriculture and low density, single family rural residential development. Manufactured homes are permitted in this district so long as they meet the Type I appearance standards set forth in section 32-60.

(Prior Code, app. D, art. 4(4.1-1); Ord. of 12-21-1998; Ord. of 7-6-2020 , § 2)

(a)

Established. This district classification is established to permit and encourage the effective, efficient and economical development of large tracts of land which are planned and developed as residential communities. Within this district, the location of all residential and other uses, school sites, parks, playgrounds, recreation areas and open spaces shall be controlled in such manner as to permit a variety of residential accommodations and land uses in orderly relationship to one another. In furtherance of these objectives, the purposes of the PRD30 district are to:

(1)

Encourage and allow the development of large tracts of substantially undeveloped land as residential developments;

(2)

Assure for residential development the provision of adequate drainage, sewage, water and other utilities;

(3)

Assure for residential development the provision of adequate streets and of safe and convenient traffic access and circulation, both vehicular and pedestrian;

(4)

Assure for residential development the provision of adequate public building sites through the dedication or reservation of land for recreational, educational and other public purposes;

(5)

Preserve the natural amenities of the land by encouraging scenic and functional open spaces within residential development districts; and

(6)

Provide an environment of stable character compatible with surrounding areas.

(b)

Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Planned residential development means the land planned and developed as a complete planned residential development under the provision of this section.

Planned Residential Development district or PRD30 means the land zoned for the development of a planned residential development under the provisions of this section.

(c)

Dimensional requirements.

(1)

A PRD30 district shall contain a total area of at least 20 contiguous acres and shall be initially composed of substantially undeveloped land. Lands which are divided by streets, roads, ways, highways, transmission pipes, lines or conduits or right-of-way (in fee or be easement) shall be deemed to be contiguous for purposes of this section. Any land within the exterior boundaries of such area which is not owned by the landowner shall be excluded from the PRD30 district; except, however, that, at any time after the approval of a PRD30 district, the owner of adjacent land may petition to expand the development, provided the proposed development is found to be compatible with the existing PRD30 zone and the surrounding land use. Such new petition shall be subject to all of the provision of this section, except that the minimum area requirement of at least 25 contiguous acres shall not apply.

(2)

All PRD30 developments shall comply with the other applicable provisions of this zoning chapter, and the subdivision regulations of the city. Access shall be provided from the site of every use to a public street or a system of common streets and ways connecting with the public street system.

(d)

Permitted uses. The following permitted uses are allowed in any PRD30 district, subject to the further provision of this section:

(1)

Residential uses. Such uses shall consist of single-family dwellings and residences of all types (but excluding manufactured homes) whether constructed on single-family sites, in rows or clusters. Such uses shall include buildings accessory to such units.

(2)

Social and community uses. Such uses shall consist of schools, churches, community centers, auditoriums and other service and recreational facilities.

(3)

Major streets and roads. Such uses shall consist of the right-of-way of major roads and streets within the PRD30 district.

Such uses shall consist of predominantly undeveloped land which has value for park and recreational purposes, including playing fields, golf courses and other outdoor recreational uses (whether publicly or privately owned or operated for profit or nonprofit); conservation of land and other natural resources, including land covered by forests, lakes, rivers or streams; or historic or scenic purposes. Open space uses do not include streets, parking areas or drive-in theaters.

(1)

Acreage sufficient to adequately serve the PRD30 district shall be devoted to major streets and roads.

(2)

No land shall be zoned as a PRD30 district except upon application of the landowner.

(3)

A preliminary development plan shall be submitted for review in accordance with the following standards and procedures:

Within 30 days (or such extended time as is permitted by the planning commission) from the date of approval of a tract of land as a PRD30 district, the landowner shall submit for approval by the planning commission a preliminary development plan of the overall development of the PRD30 district as a new community. The preliminary development plan shall include:

1.

A statement of the major planning assumptions and objectives of the proposed developments;

2.

A generalized drawing or series of drawings, with appropriate text materials, covering the entire PRD30 district, prepared by a recognized land planner or registered architect, surveyor or engineer. Such drawings and materials shall show the general pattern of development, including the relationship proposed between the various permitted uses. The location of various uses need not be shown except as illustrative of the planning scheme to be followed.

b.

In reviewing the preliminary development plan, the planning commission shall consider the purposes of this section, and shall approve the preliminary development plan upon finding that the preliminary development plan constitutes an acceptable general land use plan for the area covered thereby, designed to meet the objectives of this section, and that the preliminary development plan complies with the requirements of this section.
