A.
Planned unit development (PUD) provisions are intended
to encourage more efficient use of land and provision of more amenities
by allowing, under certain circumstances, a more flexible means of
land development and redevelopment than is otherwise permissible under
the lot-by-lot restrictions of the other standard zoning districts.
B.
Planned unit development provisions are intended for
application to larger and/or unique sites where a flexible approach
to zoning regulations would facilitate more efficient use of the site
and protection of natural resources achieved through clustering development
and other innovative site planning and design techniques.
C.
Typically, PUD's enable development of portions of
a site at either higher densities or with less restrictive lot provisions
in exchange for preserving other portions of the site in open space
or providing above normal site amenities.
D.
Condominium projects with jointly owned common spaces
and/or commonly owned structural walls, roofs, or other structural
elements must be approved as PUD's if, as a result of a condominium
division of the land, the lot requirements of the district in which
the development is located cannot otherwise be met. This requirement
would apply to townhouses where the resulting lot size would be less
than otherwise required.
A.
The planned unit development application and development
procedure is a two-phase process.
(1)
General development plan (PUD-GDP).
(a)
The initial phase is the submittal and approval
of a general development plan. The PUD-GDP establishes the land uses,
the permissible densities, the general land plan, the layout of public
and private roads, the general landscape treatment, general grading
and drainage plan, and a description of the planned phasing. The PUD-GDP
should include an outline of the intended structure of the property
owners' association, deed restrictions, and restrictive covenants,
if applicable.
(b)
Once a PUD-GDP is approved, the approval ordinance
and the attached plans submitted by the application become the interim
zoning regulations for the PUD site. Subsequent submittal of the specific
implementation plan (PUD-SIP) and development must follow the PUD-GDP
provisions.
[Amended 2-20-2007 by Ord. No. A-367]
(2)
Specific implementation plan (PUD-SIP). The second
phase of PUD approval is the submittal and approval of the PUD-SIP.
The intent of the specific implementation plan is to provide the Plan
Commission and the Common Council with a precise plan for the development
of each sequential phase of the PUD.
B.
PUD-SIP's must be in substantial compliance with the
interim zoning requirements and guidelines established in the PUD-GDP.
C.
A developer may either submit the PUD-SIP for the
initial phase of development at the same time as the PUD-GDP or submit
the PUD-SIP at a later date. A final development permit or building
permit may not be issued until the PUD-SIP for that phase of the development
has been approved.
A.
Ownership. A tract of land proposed to be developed
as a PUD shall be under the control of a single owner, partnership,
or corporation, where each owner agrees in advance to be bound by
the conditions and regulations that will be effective within the district
and to record such covenants, easements, and other provisions with
the county.
B.
Size. PUD's must be at least three acres in size if
the parcel is to be used for a traditional planned unit development
and one acre in size if the parcel is to be used for the development
of condominium townhouses.
A.
PUD-GDP applicant submittal requirements. The submittal
requirements and review procedure for the PUD-GDP shall be as required
for other zoning districts, except that in addition to the information
required for other development permits, the following information
must be filed with the Zoning Administrator:
(1)
A map of the project area, including its relationship
to the surrounding properties, topography, or other prominent site
features.
(2)
A statement as to why PUD zoning is proposed. The
statement shall identify reasons why PUD zoning is preferable to development
under standard zoning districts.
(3)
A scaled plan of the site at a scale of not less than
one inch equals 100 feet showing:
(a)
Land uses and development densities.
(b)
The size, arrangement and location of lots.
(c)
Proposed general location of buildings or groups
of buildings.
(d)
Public and private roads.
(e)
The location of recreational areas and open
space.
(f)
General landscaping plan.
(g)
General grading plan, including a drainage plan
indicating on-site stormwater detention/retention areas and indicating
the amount and location of off-site drainage.
(h)
Statistical data on the size of the development,
density/intensity of various subareas, and expected phasing or staging.
(i)
A description of the intended organizational
structure for a property owners' association, if any.
(j)
A description of deed restrictions or restrictive
covenants, if any.
B.
The Plan Commission or Common Council may require
other special studies or plans that would aid in consideration of
the proposed development.
C.
PUD-GDP Zoning Administrator review. Upon receipt
of the application and plan, the Zoning Administrator shall refer
it to other departments and agencies for review as to compliance with
pertinent City standards and regulations. Within 30 days the Zoning
Administrator shall recommend to the Commission approval of the proposal
in the form submitted, approval with modifications, or disapproval
of the proposal. The recommendation of the Zoning Administrator shall
include findings of fact and shall set forth the reasons for the recommendation,
specifying with particularity in what respects the plan would or would
not be in the public interest, including but not limited to:
(1)
The extent to which the plan departs from zoning and
subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the subject property,
including but not limited to density, bulk, and use, and the reasons
why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the public interest.
(2)
The manner in which the plan does or does not make
adequate provision for public services, drainage, traffic, and recreational
amenities.
(3)
The nature and extent of open space, the reliability
and sufficiency of the proposal for maintenance and conservation of
the common open space, and the adequacy or inadequacy of the amount
and function of the open space in terms of the densities proposed
in the plan.
(4)
The relationship, beneficial or adverse, of the planned
development project upon the neighborhood in which it is proposed
to be established.
(5)
In the case of a plan that proposes development over
a period of years, the sufficiency of the terms and conditions proposed
to protect and maintain the integrity of the plan.
(6)
In built-up areas, the suitability of the proposed
structures in relation to existing structures to remain and anticipated
future development of the area.
(7)
Conformity with the City of Lodi Comprehensive Plan.
D.
PUD-GDP Plan Commission review. Within 60 days after
the filing of the application and after receiving the Zoning Administrator's
report, the Commission shall hold a public hearing on the PUD-GDP
application. Within 40 days after such hearing, the Commission shall
submit its recommendations to the Council. The Commission may recommend
tentative approval in whole or in part, with or without modification,
or recommend disapproval.
E.
Council review. The Council shall either grant approval
of the PUD-GDP application, with or without modification, or deny
such application. If approved by the Council, the area of land involved
shall be redesignated as a PUD-GDP by ordinance, and such ordinance
shall incorporate the plan, including any conditions or restrictions
that may be imposed by the Council. The PUD-GDP is an interim zoning
classification which does not enable actual development until the
PUD-SIP is approved.
A.
PUD-SIP applicant submittal requirements. Within 12 months of approval of the PUD-GDP, the applicant shall submit a PUD-SIP with exact sizes and locations of structures and other improvements, including detailed grading plan, drainage plan, and landscape plan. If required, a final plat, or a final plat of that segment to be developed, in compliance with Chapter 300, Subdivision of Land, of the City Code, shall be submitted prior to issuance of the PUD-SIP.
B.
PUD-SIP Zoning Administrator review. If the Zoning
Administrator finds the final plan and plat to be in substantial agreement
with the approved PUD-GDP, the Zoning Administrator shall submit the
documents directly to the Plan Commission for final action. If the
SIP is not in substantial conformance with the PUD-GDP, the Zoning
Administrator shall identify such discrepancies in a letter of transmittal
to the Plan Commission.
C.
PUD-SIP Plan Commission and Council review and approval.
The Plan Commission shall consider the SIP at a regularly held meeting.
A public hearing is not required at the SIP stage. If approved by
the Plan Commission, the Plan Commission shall forward its recommendation
to the Council. Subject to Council approval, the area of land involved
shall be redesignated as a PUD-SIP by ordinance, and such ordinance
shall incorporate the plan, including any conditions or restrictions
that may be imposed by the Council.
The final plan as approved, together with the
conditions and restrictions imposed by the Council, shall constitute
the final zoning for the district, provided that general zoning regulations
that were applicable to the land involved prior to approval of the
plan and are not inconsistent with the PUD-SIP plan shall continue
to be applicable.
Development and building permits for PUD's may
not be issued until the PUD-SIP is approved by the Council. No building
permit shall be issued for any structure within the PUD-SIP District
unless and until the Zoning Administrator certifies that it conforms
to the provisions of the PUD-SIP plan and other applicable zoning
requirements.
A.
Any change of the PUD plans subsequent to approval
of the PUD-SIP shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator. If
the Zoning Administrator determines that the change constitutes a
substantial modification, the developer will be required to amend
the PUD-SIP and, if necessary, the PUD-GDP, following the procedures
set forth in this article for review and approvals.
B.
If, in the opinion of the Zoning Administrator, such
changes do not constitute a substantial alteration of either the GDP
or SIP, the change may be accomplished by approval of the Zoning Administrator.
Such approved changes or modifications shall be documented and recorded
in the official file of the City on the PUD.
If substantial development progress had not
occurred within one year of PUD-SIP approval, the Council, following
a Plan Commission recommendation, may revoke the PUD-GDP and PUD-SIP
approval and revert the site zoning to its previous zoning district
classification.
