A. 
Intent And Purpose Of The District. The purpose of the "PD" Overlay District is to provide for elements of flexibility in design, arrangement, bulk and other considerations involved in the applicable overlay district; to provide a framework within which the structures and uses in the overlay district may be interrelated with adjacent development and areas; and to maintain the desired overall intensity of land use, desired population densities, and desired areas of open space. The use of overlay district procedures is intended to encourage large-scale development, efficient development of small tracts, innovative and imaginative site planning, and conservation of resources. The Board of Aldermen, after hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission, may determine or condition its approval of a development plan upon reasonable restrictions for the good health, safety, and welfare of the City.
B. 
Use Of The Planned Overlay District.
1. 
Planned developments are groupings of structures or sites that are planned as an integrated unit or cluster on property under unified control at the time of zoning. The sale, subdivision, or other partition of the site after zoning approval does not exempt the project or portions thereof from complying with the development standards and other conditions that were committed to at the time of the rezoning. The planned development district must always be used in conjunction with one (1) of the other zoning districts known as the "underlying district". The requirements of the "PD" district shall be in addition to the requirements of the underlying district, except that the "PD" district may modify some of the regulations of the underlying district in specific situations. A "PD" district may be used in conjunction with any of the other zoning districts or any combination of districts.
2. 
An application of rezoning to the "PD" district shall include a preliminary development plan and may include a concurrent request to change the underlying zoning classification. If the rezoning is approved, the new district shall include the designation of the underlying district followed by "PD". For example, a planned development district of a "C-2" district shall be known as "C-2-PD". Approval of the rezoning based on the preliminary development plan shall allow the applicant to submit a final development plan for approval. No structure or occupancy permit shall be issued until a final development plan has been approved. The use of the "PD" district shall be separate from the subdivision regulations of the City, and the development plans required by the "PD" district shall not be construed as plats. It is recommended that the subdivision process follow the rezoning/preliminary plan approval, but precede the approval of the final development plan. Resubdivision may be a prerequisite to approval or the final development plan.
C. 
Permitted Uses. Any use permitted in the underlying zone may be permitted. The uses permitted may be voluntarily restricted by the applicant or restricted as a condition of approval by the Board of Aldermen.
D. 
Use Regulations.
1. 
The proposed development shall provide access to the major street system in such a way that the traffic generated by the development will not cause an unreasonably hazardous condition or inconvenience in the area.
2. 
Structures and traffic shall be arranged so that all principal structures are accessible to emergency vehicles.
3. 
Parking shall be provided in a manner which reduces to a minimum its adverse physical impact in the area. Screening parking areas with landscaping or walls, breaking parking areas into smaller units by introducing landscaped areas or other physical separators is suggested approaches. The parking areas should be appropriately spaced to serve those units they represent.
4. 
The availability of services and location of public utilities shall have the approval of each agency involved. Evidence to this effect shall be presented with the preliminary plans.
5. 
Approval of the final development plan may be conditioned by the Planning and Zoning Commission or Board of Aldermen to minimize any negative impact on the community.
E. 
Application For Rezoning. A petition to change to a "PD" planned district shall be filed with the City Clerk, along with the filing fee as set forth by separate ordinance. A preliminary development plan shall be attached and shall include the elements set forth in these regulations. The process for approval shall be the same as for any rezoning as provided by these regulations.
F. 
Approval Procedure. The approval by the Board of Aldermen of the preliminary development plan and the concurrent rezoning to the "PD" district shall be preceded by the publication and mailing of notice, a public hearing, and a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If the Board of Aldermen disagrees with the recommendation, the application shall be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for reconsideration. Approval of the preliminary development plan shall be valid for two (2) years from the date of its date of its approval. The filing and approval of a final development plan for any phases of the area contained in the preliminary plan shall extend the period of validity an additional two (2) years. Once approved, the zoning classification can only be changed through rezoning and cannot be changed by expiration of the preliminary development plan.
G. 
Preliminary Development Plan. The preliminary development plan shall be prepared at a scale dimension of not more than 1" = 100' and shall include:
