[Ord. No. 516 §12(12.01), 6-21-2001; Ord. No. 1341 §19, 8-20-2008]
A. The
provisions of this Article are designed to foster a partnership between
the City and developers in order to preserve the rural character and
nature of the City and facilitate better site planning and community
planning through modification of certain district regulations as they
apply to such development and to document conditions of approval for
the development.
B. It
is hereby recognized that the regulations of districts in the zoning
ordinance, either individually or collectively, might impose unnecessary
or undesirable restrictions on the development of the site and thereby
prevent achievement of the best possible plan within this Chapter.
Therefore, this Article has the following intents:
1. To permit flexibility in site design.
2. To achieve more efficient use of land, within the framework and intent
of the zoning ordinance, which can result from large scale or multiple-use
developments.
3. To encourage and permit the provision of open space.
4. To protect and preserve scenic assets and natural features and to
incorporate these into the development.
5. To foster a more stable community by providing a variety and balance
of housing types and living environments.
6. To encourage and permit variety in the location of buildings, roads,
parking lots and other facilities and activities.
7. To increase the safety of pedestrian vehicular traffic by reducing
the number of traffic conflict points within a development.
8. To reduce land cost per dwelling unit in residential developments.
9. To document the conditions of approval for the development.
C. This
Article is intended to achieve these objectives while promoting and
protecting the public health, safety and welfare of the City and while
safeguarding the present or future use and development of areas surrounding
a proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD).
D. The
PUD designation is intended to be attached to use districts set forth
in this Chapter and is not a separate use district. The PUD designation
may be attached to a parcel of land at the time its zoning classification
is amended or it may be attached to a parcel of land under the zoning
district classification(s) existing at the date of application of
PUD designation. It is further intended that a PUD designation may
be applied to a residential, non-residential or a combined residential/non-residential
development. Provisions of the zoning ordinance pertaining to the
use district or districts included shall be applicable unless specifically
identified as exceptions in the notes on the area and/or Final Plan.

A. The
Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine and shall provide evidence
of same in its report to the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Aldermen
shall determine, based upon its review of the Commission's report
and its own findings, that the proposed Area Plan meets the intent
of this Chapter and meets the following standards:
1. The use of land shall be in conformance with the permitted uses of
the district in which the proposed development is to be located and
represents land use policy which is logical and acceptable to the
City.
2. Project area densities.
a. The average density of development within the "PUD" shall remain
the same as would be permitted if the area were to be developed conventionally.
Average density is to be calculated as total land area excluding public
right-of-way, land to be used as stormwater detention basins and common
ground. Common ground may be used in the calculations if it is developed
with acceptable amenities, or if the property is to be left in its
natural state. However, the development (buildings) so permitted may
be clustered and located irrespective of yard setback requirements
or lot lines in order to create a smaller network of streets and utility
lines and to create additional open space for the enjoyment of the
residents.
b. Density bonuses. In order to provide incentive developers
to utilize the "PUD", the applicant may be eligible for a maximum
cumulative increase of forty percent (40%) in the total number of
dwelling units permitted upon application for "PUD" change. Such density
increases may be granted only by the Board of Aldermen according to
the following:
Maximum Percentage Increase
|
Design Element
|
---|
10%
|
For each five percent (5%) of net development area devoted to
improved usable open space (up to thirty percent (30%) maximum).
|
5%
|
Provision of pedestrian ways (pedestrian, bicycle paths).
|
5%
|
Provision of tree and shrub planting, including peripheral and
interior screen planting and fencing landscaping and parking lots,
and the use of existing trees in the plan. This provision is in addition
to the required screening requirements.
|
5%
|
Creative building site designs, and groupings which take advantage
of natural terrain and minimize future water runoff and erosion problems.
Basins into the overall design is encouraged. Variations in building
design are permissible.
|
5%
|
Recreational facilities, not to exceed three percent (3%) for
each; swimming, tennis court and community center or club building.
|
10%
|
In an instance where the property to be subject to the "PUD":
|
|
(i)
|
Is or was part of a larger contiguous tract of ground under
common ownership which was or is to be acquired for a Federally funded
interstate highway project,
|
|
(ii)
|
Abuts the City limits of the City, and
|
|
(iii)
|
Contains no more than thirteen (13) acres in area.
|
c. Calculations of project density. The Board of Aldermen
shall approve any increase in the maximum density allowed in any "PUD".
In calculating the density for a tract of land, the developer and/or
applicant is encouraged to consult the City's Comprehensive Plan to
assure compatibility and harmony with surrounding densities. If density
bonuses (increases) are requested under this Section, the developer
shall document all site amenities or improvements that support the
requested density bonuses for the City's review and consideration.
3. The proposed development shall be adequately served by public facilities
and services, such as highways, streets, Police and fire protection,
drainage courses, water and sanitary sewer facilities, refuse disposal;
or that the persons or agencies responsible for the proposed development
shall be able to provide, in a manner acceptable to the Board of Aldermen,
any such facilities and services.
4. Each phase of the proposed development shall not be dependent upon
completion of subsequent phases of the same development for the facilities
and services.
5. The common open space, any other common properties, individual properties
and all other elements of the PUD are so planned that they will achieve
a unified environmental scheme, with open spaces and all other elements
in appropriate locations, suitably related to each other, the site
and the surrounding land. All common spaces shall be permanently secured
as such to the satisfaction of the Board of Aldermen.
6. Ingress and egress to the proposed development is designed to minimize
traffic congestion on the public streets outside of the development
and to facilitate the free flow of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian,
within the development.
7. Where applicable, the Commission and Board of Aldermen shall determine
that noise, odor, light or other external effects from any source
whatsoever, which are connected with the proposed use, will not adversely
affect adjacent and neighboring areas and uses.
8. Yard requirements along the perimeter of the PUD shall be at least
equal to those required in district(s) in which the PUD is located.
9. A preliminary stormwater management plan has been submitted to the City Engineer and jointly agreed upon by the developer and the City Engineer pursuant to the requirements of Chapter
550 of this Code.
[Ord. No. 516 §12(12.07), 6-21-2001; Ord. No. 1341 §25, 8-20-2008]
A. Approval
of the Area Plan by the Board of Aldermen shall have the following
effects:
1. Approval shall assure the applicant that the Area Plan is acceptable
to the Board of Aldermen for three (3) years from the date of approval
provided construction is diligently pursued and authorizes the applicant
to file a Final Plan for the entire tract or portion thereof if the
PUD is developed in phases.
2. Approval of the Area Plan by ordinance shall confer PUD status to
the subject tract and permit modifications of area, lot width, yard
requirements and spacing among buildings and structures within the
lot, except on the perimeter thereof, all as set forth in the approved
Area Plan.
3. No deviations from the Area Plan approved by the Board of Aldermen
shall be permitted except as provided in this Article.
4. Notwithstanding Subsection
(1) above, approval of the Area Plan of a PUD shall expire and be of no effect one (1) year after the date of approval unless a Final Plan for the entire tract, or portion thereof if the proposed development is to occur in phases, has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
