[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017]
An Overlay District is a "transparent" zoning district that lies over an existing zoning district and is used to implement additional development standards or place restrictions beyond those required by the existing or base zoning district. The Overlay District generally outlines uniform standards within the established boundary to ensure a higher quality of development.
[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017]
The purpose of creating an Overlay District (OD) is to set and coordinate special development standards to a specific area that has unique value to the City and its residents, such as a business district or transportation corridor, and that are designed to provide a distinctive character and atmosphere to the designated area. Overlay Districts are appropriate instruments to implement the long-term goals and objectives of the adopted Comprehensive Plan and are primarily intended to be used when special circumstances justify the modification of base or existing zoning district regulations to achieve those specific design objectives that do not coincide with base zoning districts.
[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017]
A. 
Overlay Districts shall be established through the rezoning process as outlined in Section 405.290 and only in conjunction with existing, base zoning districts.
B. 
An Overlay District may cover parts of several zoning districts or only a portion of an existing or base zoning district.
C. 
The existing or base zoning district shall maintain standard permitted land uses and development regulations. The Overlay District may further restrict development standards and/or land uses suitable to the purpose and protection of the Overlay District.
1. 
Development standards that may be regulated in an Overlay District are: lot size, building height and area, architectural design and materials, accessory buildings and structures, landscaping and buffer yards, parking, lighting, signage, development review procedures or any other restrictions that meet the Overlay District's purpose.
2. 
Land uses shall be specifically delineated for each application.
D. 
When an Overlay District is established, any subsequent application to change the existing or base zoning district shall not be construed to be an application to eliminate the Overlay District for the property covered by the application. Any intent to eliminate the Overlay District on a given property shall be expressly stated to be part of the application.
E. 
In cases where there is a conflict between the requirements of the Overlay District and the underlying existing or base zoning district, the Overlay District restrictions shall apply.
F. 
When an applicant seeks to vary from the requirements of an Overlay District, they shall apply to the Board of Adjustment for a variance just as they would if they were varying from the requirements of the base or existing zoning district.
[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017]
Overlay Districts are adopted in the same manner as any other zoning amendment. When an Overlay District and its associated regulations are adopted, the zoning map shall be amended to establish the boundaries for the Overlay District.
[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017]
These Sections have been left reserved for future Overlay District Regulations.
[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017]
A Planned Development Zoning District is a zoning district that provides for one (1) or more properties to be developed under a plan that provides for better coordinated development that incorporates development standards crafted to respond to site conditions.
[Ord. No. 4085 § 1, 5-8-2017; Ord. No. 4393, 11-9-2020]
A. 
The purpose of a planned development (PD) district is to permit flexibility and encourage a more creative and efficient development of a tract of land not possible with an existing zoning district, while maintaining maximum control by the City over both the structure and future operation of the development.
B. 
The use of a planned development district is not intended to allow significant reductions in conventional zoning regulations, or the development of incompatible land uses, within the development or as the development relates to the surrounding neighborhood.
C. 
The City may, upon proper application, approve a planned development district in order to achieve the following objectives for the benefit of the public:
1. 
Facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the adopted Comprehensive Plan, where applicable.
2. 
Preserve and enhance the natural resources, such as grand trees, open space, woodlands, in the development of the property that is of a higher quality than is possible under the regulations otherwise applicable to the property.
3. 
Promote a creative approach to the use of land and related physical facilities resulting in quality design and development, including aesthetic and public amenities, such as enhanced public parks and trails, below-grade parking facilities, and architectural/historically significant building preservation.
4. 
Promote a combination and coordination of architectural styles, building forms and building relationships within a single development project and, if necessary, covering different phases.
5. 
Provide economic development benefits and not overtax public services.
6. 
Encourage efficient and effective vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both within and adjacent to the development site.
7. 
Provide public benefits that could not be derived from a development that strictly adheres to the underlying zoning district.
[Ord. No. 4393, 11-9-2020[1]]
A. 
There shall be two (2) types of planned development districts. Each district shall be subject to the specific restrictions and limitations outlined in this Section. These districts are the Planned Non-Residential District (PNRD) and the Planned Senior Living District (PSLD). A planned development that is primarily residential shall adhere to the regulations established by Article XIV, Planned Residential Community (PRC) Regulations.
B. 
Planned Non-Residential Development (PNRD). A PNRD allows for flexibility from certain zoning performance standards under conditions that allow for development of a combination of non-residential uses and, under specific circumstances, residential uses, in a manner that promotes the objectives of Section 405.1705(C).
1. 
Requirements And Restrictions. The following requirements and restrictions shall apply to all PNRD applications:
a. 
Location. A PNRD shall be located exclusively on a property designated as Commercial, Office, Campus Office, or Planned Office Park Zoning.
b. 
Permitted Uses And Specific Prohibitions. A PNRD shall be limited to non-residential uses such as general retail, office, personal services, medical, and institutional uses. A PNRD shall include more than one (1) non-residential use. Senior living uses, such as a skilled-nursing facility, residential-care facility, assisted-living facility and independent living (continuum-of-care facility), shall only be eligible for a Planned Senior Living Development (PSLD) and not a PNRD.
c. 
Residential Exception. The Board of Aldermen may approve owner-occupied residential in combination with complementary non-residential uses within a PNRD if planned development is located on property that meets each and every of the following conditions:
(1) 
The subject property is adjacent to residentially zoned property on at least one side.
(2) 
The subject property is adjacent to commercially zoned property on at least one side.
(3) 
The subject property is adjacent to a major highway or interstate.
d. 
Performance Standards. Consistent with the PNRD regulations, the Board of Aldermen may approve deviations from performance standards for particular uses within that development in order to achieve the objectives set forth in Section 405.1705(C), unless provided otherwise herein.
e. 
Permanent Open Space And Natural Resources. All land required to be protected by Section 405.335 of this Chapter shall be preserved as permanent open space, and this permanent open space requirement shall not be varied in the ordinances for a particular PNRD development.
f. 
Greenspace. A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the gross buildable site area of each PNRD shall be devoted to green space.
g. 
Single-Family Residential Adjacency. Where adjoining property is zoned single-family residential, the following performance standards shall apply:
(1) 
A minimum setback of fifty (50) feet per building story.
(2) 
A maximum height of two (2) stories, up to forty (40) feet.
(3) 
A minimum "E" bufferyard as defined by Section 405.320.
C. 
Planned Senior Living Development (PSLD). A PSLD allows for flexibility from certain zoning performance standards under conditions that allow for development of high-quality senior living uses in locations where they would be complementary with adjoining uses and allow for a better site design and preservation of natural resources and open space.
1. 
Requirements And Restrictions. The following requirements and restrictions shall apply to all PSLD applications:
a. 
Location. A PSLD shall be located exclusively on a property designated as Office, Campus Office, or Planned Office Park Zoning.
b. 
Permitted Uses. A PSLD shall be limited to senior-living uses, such as a skilled-nursing facility, residential-care facility, assisted-living facility and independent living. Independent living shall be permitted only in association with a continuum-of-care facility that also includes skilled nursing and/or assisted living. These permitted uses are only eligible for a Planned Senior Living Development (PSLD) and not a PNRD.
c. 
Performance Standards. Consistent with the PSLD regulations, the Board of Aldermen may approve deviations from performance standards for particular uses within that development in order to achieve the objectives set forth in Section 405.1705(C), unless provided otherwise herein.
d. 
Permanent Open Space And Natural Resources. All land required to be protected by Section 405.335 of this Chapter shall be preserved as permanent open space, and this permanent open space requirement shall not be varied in the ordinances for a particular PNRD development.
e. 
Greenspace. A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the gross buildable site area of each PSLD shall be devoted to green space.
f. 
Single-Family Residential Adjacency. Where adjoining property is zoned single-family residential, the following performance standards shall apply:
