[CC 2001 §405.170; Ord. No. 856 §12.07, 6-11-1987]
A. Intent And Purpose.
1. The purpose of the Planned Development District is to provide a means
of achieving greater flexibility in development of land in a manner
not possible in conventional zones; to encourage a more imaginative
and innovative design of projects; to promote a more desirable community
environment; and to retain maximum control over both the structure
and future operation of the development.
2. The Board of Aldermen, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, may, by ordinance adopted in the same manner as zoning
districts are created, authorize a Planned Development District when
the proposed development or use of a specific tract of land or area
warrants greater flexibility, control and density than is afforded
under the general regulations of standard zoning districts. However,
it should be noted that these planned development regulations are
not intended to allow excessive densities or the development of incompatible
land uses, either within the development or as the development relates
to the general neighborhood. The standards contained in the following
provisions must be strictly adhered to by the applicant.
The City may, upon proper application, approve a planned development
for a site of at least four and one-half (4.5) acres to facilitate
the use of flexible techniques of land development and site design
by providing relief from zone requirements designed for conventional
developments in order to obtain one (1) or more of the following objectives:
a. Environmental design in the development of land that is of a higher
quality than is possible under the regulations otherwise applicable
to the property.
b. Diversification in the uses permitted and variation in the relationship
of uses, structures, open space and height of structures in development
intended as cohesive, unified projects.
c. Functional and beneficial uses of open space areas.
d. Preservation of natural features of a development site.
e. Creation of a safe and desirable living environment for residential
areas characterized by a unified building and site development program.
f. Rational and economic development in relation to public services.
g. Efficient and effective traffic circulation, both within and adjacent
to the development site.
B. Relationship Of Planned Development Districts To Zoning Map.
1. A mapped district. The "PD" designation is not intended
to be attached to existing use districts as an overlay. The "PD" designation
as detailed in this Section is a separate use district and may be
attached to a parcel of land as an original zoning district or it
may be attached to a parcel of land through the process of Zoning
Map amendment.
2. Plan approval required. Although the "PD" designation may be applied to parcels of land as a mapped zoning district, it is the intent of the Code that no development or redevelopment of the property encompassed by the "PD" designation take place until an acceptable development plan has been reviewed and approved in conformance with the requirements of this Section. Any pre-existing uses within the area encompassed by the "PD" designation shall have the status of non-conforming uses, as outlined in Article
VII, until such time as they are included in an approved development plan.
3. Types of planned developments. All areas of the
City subject to the "PD" designation shall be assigned one (1) of
the following subclassifications which shall be considered a separate
use district and subject to the specific restrictions and limitations
outlined in this Section.
a. Planned Development — Residential (PD-R): Planned developments
involving residential uses only.
b. Planned Development — Commercial (PD-C): Planned developments
involving commercials uses only.
|
These subclassifications may be designated by the City at the
time of the original zoning of the parcel in question, or the City
may make the designation at the time of development plan application.
In the instance of a request for Zoning Map amendment, the applicant
may request a specific subclassification; however, it shall be at
the discretion of the City, in light of the recommendations of the
City's Comprehensive Plan, as well as the surrounding neighborhood
to grant the requested subclassification or require a more restrictive
one.
|
C. Procedures For Planned Development Approval.
1. Pre-application procedure. No more than six (6)
months prior to filing any application for planned development approval
the prospective applicant shall request a pre-application conference
with the City's Building Official. Such request shall include a brief
and general narrative description of the nature, location and extent
of the proposed planned development; and a list of any professional
consultants advising the prospective applicant with respect to the
proposed planned development. Upon receipt of such request the City's
Building Official shall promptly schedule such a conference.
2. Preliminary development plan. A preliminary development
plan shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission with
the application for a planned development. A final development plan,
including the requirements of a preliminary plan, may be submitted

F. Modifications. The approval of the preliminary development
plan may provide for such exceptions from the above-referenced regulations
as may be necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of the
proposed planned development, provided such exceptions are consistent
with the standards and criteria contained in this Section and have

would be allowed when such proposed modification would result in:
1. Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development;
2. Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed
major street network in the vicinity;
3. An undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire
and police protection, and other public facilities which serve or
are proposed to serve the planned development;

G. Overall Development Site Size. In addition to the requirements
as outlined above for individual uses within a Planned Development
District, the minimum overall site size required for such a planned
development as a whole shall be four and one-half (4.5) acres. Provided
however, that this minimum site size may be waived by the Board of
Aldermen upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission
if the parcel in question has certain unique characteristics such
as, but not limited to, significant topographic change, significant
trees or wooded areas, wetlands, floodplain areas, soil conditions,
utility easements, or unusual shape or proportions; or, if it is determined
that the use proposed is desirable or necessary in relationship to
the surrounding neighborhood; or, if the Board of Aldermen should
determine such waiver to be in the general public interest.
H. Period Of Validity. The period of validity of approval of
a final development plan is as follows:
1. No approval of a final development plan shall be valid for a period
longer than six (6) months from the date of approval unless within
such period a building permit is obtained and construction is commenced.
2. The Board of Aldermen may grant extensions not exceeding six (6)
months each upon written request of the original applicant if the
application submitted is substantially the same as the initially approved
application. However, the Board of Aldermen has the power in such
cases to attach new conditions to the approval. At such time as the
period of validity of an approved final development plan lapses, the
site shall revert back to its previous status prior to approval of
the final development plan.
3. Should a request for extension of an approved final development plan
contain substantial changes, as determined by the Board of Aldermen,
the Board of Aldermen shall require the applicant to refile his/her
application subject to the requirements of this Section as if it were
an entirely new application.
