[R.O. 2004 § 420.360; Ord. No. 2.56 § 4, 1-9-2001]
A.
The intent of the Planned Development District
(PD) is to:
1.
Encourage innovation in residential,
commercial and industrial development by greater variety in type,
design and layout of buildings;
2.
Encourage a more efficient use of
land reflecting changes in the technology of land development;
3.
Encourage the expansion of urban
areas incorporating the best features of modern design while conserving
the value of land; and
4.
Provide a procedure which relates
the type, design and layout of development to the particular site
and the particular demand at the time of development in a manner consistent
with the preservation of property values within established neighborhoods.
Although the specific conditions
within the PD District shall be predetermined, the location of a proposed
district must be carefully reviewed to assure that these conditions
can be met.
a.
The applicant shall first obtain
the proper application form from the office of the Zoning Administrator.
b.
The Planned Development (PD) application
form shall be completely filled out and returned to the office of
the Zoning Administrator with the appropriate application fee, deposit
and required information. An application shall not be scheduled for
public hearing until the application form has been fully completed,
the fee and deposit paid and all required information submitted. The
deposit shall be used to cover expenses incurred by the City in the
processing and review of the application. If the City's processing
and review costs exceed the amount of the initial deposit, the applicant
shall be required to pay the additional amount.
c.
An application for a Planned Development
shall be handled in the same manner prescribed for amending the zoning
ordinance. The office of the Zoning Administrator shall be responsible
for having an official notice of the public hearing published in a
newspaper of general circulation at least fifteen (15) days prior
to the hearing. The office of the Zoning Administrator shall be responsible
for following the administrative procedures for a zoning district
amendment as prescribed in the adopted zoning regulations. The notice
shall fix the time and place of the hearing and shall describe generally
the change requested.
