A.
This district is intended to foster development with a substantially
enhanced environmental profile by, in part, emphasizing public transit
and enhanced pedestrian accessibility. To achieve these goals, the
district incentivizes more economically productive use of available
land by reducing on-site parking thereby affording more economically
productive use of available land. In evaluating whether proposed developments
achieve these objectives, the Plan Commission/Architectural Review
Board shall assess compliance with the following standards:
1.
Linkage between the development and the Central Avenue MetroLink
Station, if one does not currently exist.
2.
Leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) certification
from the U.S. Green Building Council at a minimum "Certified" level
including applicable regional priorities or an equivalent certification
from a nationally recognized third (3rd) party verified organization
as determined by the Plan Commission.
3.
City streetscape consistent with the City of Clayton's streetscape
standards.
4.
Greenspace/urban gathering areas open to the street and proportionate
to the development size and scope.
B.
The special development or planned unit development ordinance shall
specify whether and how individual standards are to be satisfied and
penalties for failure to fulfill agreed undertakings.
[Ord. No. 6052 §1, 1-13-2009]
The Board of Aldermen shall, in arriving at its decision on a proposed SDD or PUD, consider these regulations, Chapter 405, the Master Plan and any other land use or urban design policies relevant to the specific site which have been accepted or adopted by the Board of Aldermen. The Plan Commission shall, at the time of forwarding its recommendations to the Board of Aldermen, forward any recommendation(s) pertaining to the specific site that is contained in the Master Plan. If the Plan Commission's recommendations vary from such specific recommendation(s) in the Master Plan for the site, such variations shall be noted and explained in the Plan Commission's report to the Board of Aldermen.
