The establishment of a planned district requires review and a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by the Board of Aldermen.
2. 
Planned developments shall not authorize uses not permitted by the underlying zoning district nor shall it increase the number of lots otherwise permitted under such district regulations. A conditional use permit shall be required when an approved planned development district is approved expressly authorizing a conditional use permit by the underlying district.
B. 
Intent. The intent of this Section is to allow the planned development of land and at the same time comply with the City's Comprehensive Plan and observe the general intent and spirit of these regulations. Through the flexibility of the planned development process, the planned development districts are intended to promote the following development objectives:
1. 
Encourage development that is compatible with the surrounding built and natural environments.
2. 
Promote flexibility by permitting greater variety in type, design and layout of buildings and allowing the placement of more than one (1) main or principal building on a single lot or parcel.
3. 
Encourage large scale well-planned development.
C. 
Planned Development District — When Required. Any new use or change in use in the "R-2", "R-3", "R-4" and "M-1" zoning districts and all uses designated as a "planned" use in the Land Use Table 4.1 shall require rezoning to a planned district overlay with the following exceptions:
1. 
New additions to legally existing structures, provided no waivers or modification of any district or other regulation is needed.
2. 
The change is not detrimental to the neighboring properties or community, does not materially alter or impact traffic, public improvements or public financial burdens and is otherwise consistent with all established City plans, policies and ordinances.
D. 
Equivalent Districts. All areas of the City designated as a planned district shall be assigned one (1) of the following district classifications which shall be considered a separate district and subject to the specific restrictions and limitations outlined in this Section.
Planned District
Equivalent District
"PRD" Planned Residential District
"R-1" Single-Family Residential District
"R-2" Two-Family Residential District
"R-3" Multi-Family Residential District
"R-4" Manufactured Home District
"PCD" Planned Commercial District
"C-1" Neighborhood Commercial District
"C-2" General Commercial District
"PID" Planned Industrial District
"M-1" Industrial District
"PMD" Planned Mixed-Use District
Mixture of residential and non-residential district uses.
E. 
Open Space. A minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the net area of a residential planned development shall be provided for open space as defined by these regulations. At least one-half (½) of this open space or twenty percent (20%) of the net area devoted to residential development shall be provided for common open space for the leisure and recreational use of all "PD" residents and owned and maintained in common by them, generally through a homeowners' association. The common open space shall be developed for appropriate recreational facilities and a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the proposed recreational facilities shall be constructed prior to the development of one-half (½) of the project and all recreational facilities shall be constructed by the time the project is seventy-five percent (75%) developed.
F. 
Additional Requirements. All planned development shall comply with the requirements of Article VI "Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations", Article VII "Sign Regulations", Article VIII "Landscape Requirements" and Article XI "Site Plan Review".
G. 
Procedures. A planned district may be initiated by an application by one (1) or more of the owners of record or owners under contract for a lot or tract of land or their authorized representative. Procedures for application, review and approval of a planned district shall be as follows:
1. 
Applications shall be filed on forms provided by the City and accompanied by the appropriate filing fees and a site plan including the submittal information as set forth in Section 405.142. Three (3) copies shall be submitted for staff review. The administrative officer will then request ten (10) additional copies of the site plan to be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review. The City reserves the right to reject incomplete applications.
2. 
A public hearing shall be held on the application for a planned district following the same public notice procedure as required for changes and amendments to the zoning regulations pursuant to Sections 405.178405.180.
3. 
Subsequent to and within thirty (30) days of the public hearing, the administrative officer shall present a staff report to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The report shall include comments from the administrative officer as well as comments of all agencies and City departments to whom the plan was referred for review. The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of the planned district as submitted or with amendments.
4. 
Within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, the Board of Aldermen shall take action on the planned district to approve, approve with conditions or deny the proposed planned development. The planned district shall become effective upon approval of the rezoning request, site plan and governing ordinance.
5. 
Following approval of the rezoning and preliminary site plan, a final site plan shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and approval. The preliminary site plan, updated to reflect all structures, units and maximum square footage of buildings constructed or approved for construction, shall be provided with the subsequent submittal of the final site plan for each additional building, lot, phase or plat representing a portion of the preliminary site plan. The approved preliminary site plan shall be used to track existing site development, insuring that the current proposal complies with the conditions of the ordinance enacting the planned district relating to maximum site densities. The preliminary site plan and final site plan may be submitted concurrently at the rezoning stage at the option of the developer.
6. 
In the event that the final site plan contains substantial changes from the approved preliminary site plan, the applicant shall submit a revised preliminary site plan for approval per the preliminary site plan approval procedure requirements. This resubmittal shall require a new public hearing in the same manner prescribed in Subsection (G)(2) above. No development or redevelopment of property that falls under the planned district procedures shall take place until a final site plan has been reviewed and approved pursuant to the requirements of this Section.
7. 
Upon final approval, the owner shall provide copies of the approved final site plan to the City. Building permits shall be issued only in accordance with the approved final site plan and after approval of the improvement plans.
8. 
Upon final approval of the planned district rezoning, final site plan and authorization of a building and grading permit, construction may proceed. Conformance with the plan and all supporting documentation is mandatory.

A. 
Permitted And Accessory Use Table. The Use Table of this Section provides a tabular summary of the land use types allowed in each zoning district. The table is intended for reference and does not necessarily reflect all of the regulations that may apply to particular uses or districts. In the event of a conflict between the use regulations of this Section and those found in the text of the zoning district regulations, the use regulations shall prevail.
B. 
Permitted (By Right) Uses. Uses identified in a zoning district column of the Use Table with a "*" are "permitted by right" and shall be permitted in such zoning district, subject to any additional regulations as may be indicated in the "Supplemental Regulations" column and all other requirements of this Chapter.
C. 
Conditional Uses. Conditional uses are identified in a zoning district column of the Use Table with a "C" and shall be permitted in such zoning district, subject to any additional regulations as may be indicated in the "Supplemental Regulations" column and all other requirements of this Chapter. All conditional uses shall require the receipt of a conditional use permit prior to the issuance of a building permit. A conditional use permit may be obtained by following the procedures and complying with the performance standards set forth in Article X.
D. 
Planned Uses. Uses identified in a zoning district column of the Use Table with a "P" are "planned uses" and shall be permitted in such zoning district, subject to any additional regulations as may be indicated in the "Supplemental Regulations" column and all other requirements of this Chapter. All planned uses as set forth in Table 4.1 require the approval of a final site plan prior to the issuance of a building permit. The submission requirements, procedures and approval standards governing site plans are set forth in Article XI.
E. 
Accessory Uses. All accessory uses are subject to the performance standards set forth in Article V.
F. 
Unlisted Uses. Uses not listed have been determined either not to be appropriate in any district, incompatible with certain existing uses or sufficiently rare or unexpected as to be incapable of being listed at the time of adoption of this Code except where the Board of Aldermen, after review by the Planning and Zoning Commission, determines that the proposed use is sufficiently similar to a use expressly authorized in the applicable district and not otherwise prohibited or intended to be prohibited by this Chapter or other applicable regulations and such determination is approved by the Board of Aldermen. Any other use not shown as a use permitted by right, a conditional use or a planned use in any zoning district or approved by the Board of Aldermen, but constituting a use that is required to be permitted by law, shall be authorized only in the "M-1" Industrial District subject to the following conditions:
1. 
The use shall be permitted only to the extent required by law to be permitted;
2. 
The use shall be approved only as a planned use, except if by law it is required to be permitted by right;
3. 
The use shall be located no closer than one thousand (1,000) feet from any residence, residential property, park, school or church, except as may be modified by the Board of Aldermen through a planned use procedure;
4. 
The use shall maintain a distance of at least one thousand (1,000) feet from any other such use;
5. 
No use shall occupy a structure in excess of five thousand (5,000) square feet without an approved parking plan designed for that use and supported by a traffic study submitted to and approved by the Board of Aldermen.
G. 
Supplemental Regulations. The last column of the Use Table entitled "Supplemental Regulations" references additional requirements categorized by Supplemental District Regulations (Division 1) and Supplemental Use Regulations (Division 2).
