A. 
Purpose. The purpose of the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor Overlay District is to enhance and preserve the visual image and aesthetic quality along this major entryway corridor in the City of Willard; to foster a sense of place and community identity that enhances the desirable open space qualities of small community/rural life in the Ozarks; and to promote and protect the public's safety and general welfare. The Highway 160 Corridor through the City of Willard provides a driving/ visual experience unique to major highway corridors in the Springfield metropolitan area. The topography and location of Highway 160 provides a wide variety of slopes, overlooks, rock outcrops and curves through an area development predominantly in agricultural uses with some residential subdivisions and limited commercial/industrial development. Protection and preservation of this corridor through restriction of certain signs and through regulation of architectural standards of appearance of buildings and structures constructed or erected within the corridor is deemed an appropriate action to promote the public's safety and general welfare.
B. 
Highway 160 Parkway Corridor District Defined. The Highway 160 Parkway Corridor Overlay District is defined as encompassing all property within six hundred (600) feet of the rights-of-way lines of Highway 160 within the boundaries of the City of Willard.
C. 
Permitted Uses. All uses permitted as principal uses, accessory or temporary uses or conditional use in the underlying zoning district shall be permitted in the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor District, except those listed in Section 400.470(B) and Section 400.480(B) Conditional Uses, provided that the provisions in the following Subsections shall be complied with in addition to all applicable requirements of the underlying district.
[Ord. No. 181220E, 12-20-2018]
D. 
Sign Regulations. All signs located in the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor as defined herein shall be in compliance with the provisions of Article X, provided that the following additional restrictions shall apply:
1. 
No portable signs or roof signs shall be permitted within the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor.
2. 
In any underlying zoning district within the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor District where off-premises signs are permitted, any off-premises sign oriented towards Highway 160 shall be located a distance of at least one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet from any other off-premises sign oriented towards Highway 160. However, in no case shall more than one (1) off-premises sign be permitted on any parcel or lot.
3. 
Off-premises detached signs shall not have more than one (1) surface containing copy in each direction.
E. 
Exterior Building Facade Regulations. This Subsection shall apply to all buildings or structures, excluding fences, erected in the "C-1", "C-2", "M-1" and "M-2" Zoning Districts within the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor Overlay District:
1. 
Any building or other structure erected shall have a stone, brick, wood or decorative block exterior or other similar facade treatment on that side of said building or structure which faces on Highway 160. If said building or structure also faces on a street that intersects with Highway 160, faces an adjacent residential district or faces a street that separates said building or structure from a residential district, then such side or sides of the building or structure shall also be in conformance with the requirements of this Subsection.
2. 
Any building or other structure erected within the Highway 160 Parkway Corridor Overlay District shall conform to minimum architectural standards of appearance and in conformity with surrounding structures and shall not be unsightly or unsuitable buildings, detrimental to the stability of value and welfare of surrounding property, structures and residents and to the general welfare of the community.
3.

[Ord. No. 020227 §1(5.12), 2-27-2002; Ord. No. 070108C §1, 1-8-2007]
A. 
Authority. Upon enactment of an ordinance by the Board of Aldermen, a development plan for a Planned Development District may be approved in any district in the City of Willard, subject to the procedures and standards in this Section.
B. 
Purpose. The intent of the Planned Development ("PD") District is to encourage more creative and imaginative design than generally is possible under conventional zoning regulations. It is intended to permit, upon application and upon approval of site and use plans, the creation of "PD" districts. Suitability of such tracts for the "PD" District designation shall be determined by and shall be made in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and designed to lessen congestion in the streets, to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers, to promote health and the general welfare, to provide adequate light and air, to prevent the over-crowding of land, to avoid undue concentration of population, to preserve features of historical significance, to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, other public requirements and with a reasonable consideration being given to, among other things, the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses and with a view to conserving the land throughout the City.
The procedures herein established are intended to substitute procedural protections for substantive regulations in recognition of the fact that traditional density, bulk, spacing and use regulations, which may be useful in protecting the character of substantially developed areas, may impose inappropriate and unduly rigid restrictions upon the development or redevelopment of parcels which lend themselves to an individual, planned approach. In addition, a development plan should be designed to ensure that the following general goals will be achieved.
1. 
The proposed development may differ from the provisions of the other zoning districts of this Chapter, but are congruent with the spirit and intent of this Chapter and the Willard Comprehensive Plan.
2. 
The development will efficiently utilize the available land and will protect and preserve, to the extent possible, natural features of the land such as trees, streams and topographic features.
3. 
The development shall provide for harmonious and coherent site and building design that creates a sense of place.
4. 
The development will be located in an area in which transportation, Police and fire protection, other public facilities and public utilities, including sewerage, are or will be available and adequate for the uses proposed; provided however, that the applicant may make provision for such facilities or utilities which are not presently available.
5. 
In determining whether a proposed "PD" District should be approved, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen should consider the extent to which the proposed development plan is consistent with the Willard Comprehensive Plan and the other adopted plans and policies of the City.
6. 
To achieve these purposes, the requirements for a "PD" District may vary from and be either more or less restrictive than the requirements of other district regulations in this Article.
C. 
Effect Of Planned Development District Approval. Approval of a "PD" District shall constitute an amendment to the zoning ordinance. Designation of a property as a "PD" District in accordance with an approved development plan shall supersede all existing and prior zoning classifications. Such property shall for zoning purposes be identified by the letters PD followed by an identifying number.
D. 
Uses And Densities Permitted. The development plan shall specify both for the project as a whole and/or for subareas within the project, as appropriate, those principal and accessory uses and development densities that are to be permitted. The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend to the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Aldermen may include or exclude uses from the development plan or include uses with attached conditions as appropriate to achieve the intent of these provisions. In making its determination of the uses and development densities to be permitted within the "PD" District, the Planning Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen may consider the compatibility and relationship of uses within the project, the compatibility and relationship of permitted uses adjoining or in proximity to the "PD" district, the appropriateness of permitted uses for the area in general and their overall impact on the community and the consistency of the permitted uses with the Willard Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies.
E. 
Application. An application for approval of a development plan may be filed by the owner of, or any person having a contractual interest in, the property which is the subject of the application.
F. 
Procedure. Applications for "PD" District designation shall be processed pursuant to a three-step review process as specified in this Section. The three-step process shall include:
1. 
A sketch plan;
2. 
A preliminary development plan; and
3. 
A final development plan.
G. 
Sketch Plan. Prior to filing a preliminary development plan, the applicant shall prepare a sketch plan of the proposed planned development for review by the Director of Development and such other City department heads as may be desirable. The Director of Development shall coordinate sketch plan review of the proposed planned development and shall organize a meeting wherein any person who lives or owns real property within one hundred eighty-five (185) feet of any property being brought into a planned development district may inquire of the developer of the planned development district as to his/her vision of how the planned development district will effect its surrounding neighbors and to keep an open line of communication between the developer and the neighbors of the planned development district. An invitation shall also be sent by mail, postage paid, to all neighborhood association officers if there is a recognized neighborhood association. This meeting shall be at a time and place mutually agreeable to both the developer and the City of Willard. The developer shall pay for all costs associated with the meeting herein required. Upon completion of the sketch plan review, the Director of Development shall forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission for public hearing with written comments with respect to the proposed planned development and shall also provide such recommendations as may inform and assist the applicant in preparing an application for approval of a "PD" District.
H. 
Public Hearing. After giving the notice required by Section 400.360 of the Willard Land Development Regulations, a public hearing on the proposed sketch plan shall be set, advertised and conducted by the Board of Aldermen within forty-five (45) days of action or failure to act by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the public hearing, unless a delay is requested by the applicant, the Board of Aldermen shall either:
1. 
Refuse to approve the sketch plan;
2. 
Shall refer the sketch plan back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further consideration of specified matters; or
3. 
Shall approve the sketch plan with or without modifications.

9. 
Standards for approval of a preliminary development plan. A preliminary development plan shall contain at least the following provisions:
a. 
Intensity of development. The preliminary development plan shall contain provisions to regulate the intensity of development within the planned development district. Such provisions may apply to the project as a whole or to subareas within the project.
(1) 
For non-residential development, the intensity of development may be regulated:
(a) 
By specifying a floor area ratio (FAR) or ratios;
(b) 
By specifying maximum square footage or gross leasable area;
(c) 
By specifying setbacks, height and bulk restrictions; or
(d) 
By a combination of such restrictions for the project as a whole or for components or subareas within the project. In addition, non-residential preliminary development plans may specify performance standards to be imposed on the project and restrictions regarding the location and nature of industrial, commercial and other non-residential activities. In making its determination regarding the intensity of development and appropriate performance standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen may consider the character and scale of similar development, the character and scale of surrounding development and the area in general, the real or anticipated impact on public facilities and services.
(2) 
The maximum number of dwelling units permitted shall be computed based on the requirements of Subsection (D). The permitted number of dwellings units may be distributed in any manner over the residential portion of the project consistent with the intent and provisions of this Section. The preliminary development plan shall specify distribution of residential density for the project as a whole or for subareas within the project. In making its determination regarding the distribution of residential densities, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen may consider the compatibility of residential densities with other uses within the district as well as outside the district, the impact of residential densities on public facilities and services.
b. 
Uses permitted. For non-residential development the specific uses shall be listed. For residential uses the types of dwellings shall be listed.
c. 
Bulk, area and height requirements. The preliminary development plan shall specify bulk, area and height restrictions for the project as a whole or for sub-areas and/or components of the project. In making its determination regarding such restrictions, the Board of Aldermen may consider the character and scale of the proposed development as it relates to other uses and structures both within the district and outside the district and the general character and scale of similar development within the area of the proposal.
d. 
Public facilities. The preliminary development plan shall specify conditions, restrictions and standards relating to the timely provision of necessary public facilities. In making its determination regarding such conditions, restrictions and standards, the Board of Aldermen may consider the adequacy of existing facilities, the timely provision of adequate facilities, the impact of the proposed development on existing and/or planned facilities and the overall cost to the community.
e. 
Access to public thoroughfares. The preliminary development plan shall specify the location and general design of ingress and egress to the project along with any proposed access restrictions. The Board of Aldermen may impose such access standards and restrictions as are necessary to protect the integrity and function of the City's thoroughfare system and to insure the safe and efficient circulation of vehicles and pedestrians within the "PD" District. In making its determination regarding such access standards and restrictions, the Board of Aldermen may consider the classification and function of the thoroughfare system, existing and projected volumes, the condition and design of the affected thoroughfares, the effect of the proposed development on traffic flow and circulation patterns and the consistency with the Willard Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies.
f. 
Off-street parking and loading requirements. Unless specifically modified by the preliminary development plan, the off-street parking and loading requirements imposed by this Article shall apply. Reductions in off-street parking and loading standards may be approved only if it can be demonstrated that parking demand will be less due to design and/or occupancy characteristics of the project and/or the availability of public transportation.
g. 
Sign requirements. The sign plan shall be approved only if the general intent of the sign regulations, Article X, regarding size, location, illumination, structural integrity and relation to surrounding uses is satisfied.
h. 
Landscaping and perimeter treatment. The preliminary development plan shall specify the design and arrangement of landscaping on all open space areas in the "PD" District and on all buffer and perimeter areas provided to mitigate the impact of the project upon adjoining properties and/or to achieve an appropriate transition between land uses and densities. The Board of Aldermen may impose such standards and requirements for perimeter treatment it deems necessary to protect adjoining properties from adverse effects and to achieve an appropriate transition of land uses and densities.
J.

Action by the Planning and Zoning Commission. When the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval has been granted in the preliminary development plan, within thirty (30) days following the submission of a complete application for the final development plan or such longer period as may be agreed to by the applicant, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall review the plan with respect to its conformity to the approved preliminary development plan; with respect to the merit or lack of merit of any departure of the final development plan from substantial conformity with the preliminary development plan; and with respect to compliance of the final development plan with any conditions imposed by approval of the preliminary development plan and with the provisions of this Article and all other applicable Federal, State and City codes, ordinances and regulations. If the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that there is substantial conformity between such plans and shall further find the final development plan to be in all other respects complete and in compliance with any conditions imposed by approval of the preliminary development plan and with the provisions of this Article and all other applicable, Federal, State and City codes, ordinances and regulations, it shall forward it to the Board of Aldermen for final approval.
If the Planning and Zoning Commission shall find that the final development plan lacks substantial conformity to the preliminary development plan but merits approval notwithstanding such lack of conformity, it shall transmit such plan to the Board of Aldermen together with its recommendation that the final development plan be approved.
In any case, where the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that the final development plan lacks substantial conformity to the preliminary development plan and does not merit approval, it shall transmit such plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission, together with its recommendation that the final development plan not be approved.
5. 
Action by Board of Aldermen. Within forty-five (45) days following the submission by the applicant or referral from the Planning and Zoning Commission of a complete application for the final development plan or such longer period as may be agreed to by the applicant, the Board of Aldermen shall review the plan with respect to its conformity to the approved preliminary development plan; with respect to the merit or lack of merit of any departure of the final development plan from substantial conformity with the preliminary development plan; and with respect to compliance of the final development plan with any conditions imposed by approval of the preliminary development plan and with the provisions of this Article and all other applicable Federal, State and City codes, ordinances and regulations.
If the Board of Aldermen finds that there is substantial conformity between such plans and shall further find the final development plan to be in all other respects complete and in compliance with any conditions imposed by approval of the preliminary development plan and with the provisions of this Article and all other applicable, Federal, State and City codes, ordinances and regulations, it shall approve the final development plan. The Board of Aldermen's action shall constitute final approval of the final development plan.
If the Board of Aldermen shall find that the final development plan lacks substantial conformity to the preliminary development plan but merits approval notwithstanding such lack of conformity, the final development plan shall be approved subject to its recommendations.
In any case, where the Board of Aldermen finds that the final development plan lacks substantial conformity to the preliminary development plan and does not merit approval, it shall not be approved. The failure of the Board of Aldermen to act within the aforesaid time period shall be deemed a denial of the final development plan as submitted.
K. 
Building And Other Permits. Upon, but not before, receiving notice that the final development plan has been approved and upon application by the applicant, all appropriate officials of the City may issue building and other permits to the applicant for development, construction and other work in the area encompassed by the approved final development plan; provided however, that no such permit shall be issued unless the appropriate official is first satisfied that the requirements of any codes or ordinances of the City have been met which are applicable to the permit sought.
L. 
Adjustments To Plan During Development.

Such minor adjustments must be brought to the Board of Aldermen's attention and must be voted on to be approved and made a part of the final development plan.
