General Description. This district is intended to comprise those
areas which are subject to periodic or occasional flooding during
a 100-year frequency flood, which results in special hazards to life
and property, in the disruption of commerce and governmental services
and poses a direct threat to the public health, safety and general
welfare. These regulations are designed to regulate and control uses
within the flood hazard district to protect human life and health,
to minimize damage to public and private property, to minimize surface
and ground water pollution, to prevent the encroachment of buildings
and improvements in floodway and flood fringe areas which will impede
runoff and contribute to flooding in other areas, and to protect natural
scenic areas and provide for the conservation of natural resources.
2.
Application as Combining (Overlay) Regulations. The boundaries of the Flood Hazard District, which is composed of floodway and flood fringe areas, may cut across and overlay the boundaries of other zoning districts. The regulations applicable to the Flood Hazard District shall be interpreted as being in addition to the requirements of other district regulations, and wherever a conflict in requirements results, the regulations of the Flood Hazard District shall supersede all other regulations. (See Article 4, Chapter 4 of this Code).
3.
Definitions.

FLOOD – A temporary rise in stream flow or stage that results
in water overtopping its banks and inundating areas adjacent to the
channel.
b.
FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICT OR AREA – All of the land within the
jurisdiction which is subject to inundation by the flood having an
average frequency of occurrence in the order of once in 100 years,
although the flood may occur in any year. The "Flood Hazard District"
includes both the floodway and the flood fringe.
c.
FLOOD FRINGE – The portion of the flood hazard district located
outside the floodway.
d.
FLOODWAY – The stream channel and adjacent area which provides
for the downstream movement of the 100-year maximum flood at a rate
of 1/10 foot per second or greater.
e.
100-YEAR FLOOD OR RAIN – A flood or rainfall having an average
statistical frequency of occurrence in the order of once in 100 years,
although the flood or rainfall may actually occur in any year.
f.
FLOOD FRINGE DISPLACEMENT-ALTERNATIVE IMPROVEMENTS – The channel
improvements in the floodway which are required to prevent increased
flooding resulting from the reduced floodwater storage capacity in
the flood fringe area due to filling or other flood proofing or development
of the flood fringe area.
4.
Uses Permitted.

1.
Purposes. The purposes of the Planned Unit Development are:
a.
To permit flexibility that will encourage a more creative approach
in the development of land and will result in a more efficient use
of open area, while maintaining density and area coverage permitted
in the general zoning district or districts in which the project is
located.
b.
To permit flexibility in design, placement of buildings, and use
of open spaces, circulation facilities, and off-street parking areas
and to best utilize the potential of sites characterized by special
features of geography, topography, size or shape.
2.
General Provisions. Planned Unit Development is permitted on tracts
of not less than 10 acres in size. In every instance, the PUD is to
be reviewed as to the proposed location and character of the uses
and the unified treatment of the development of the tract. The regulations
of the general zoning district or districts remain applicable except
as specifically modified pursuant to the provisions of this article.
No modification of use or bulk and area requirements of the applicable
general use district or districts shall be permitted unless a subdivision
plat incorporating the provisions and requirements of this article
is submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission and City Commission
and filed on record in the office of the County Clerk.
3.
Uses Permitted in Planned Unit Development.
a.
Principal Uses. A Planned Unit Development shall primarily be residential
when located within an R-1 District. The development may consist of
one or more of the following dwelling types: Single-Family Detached
Dwelling, Duplex Dwelling, Multi-Family Dwelling, Townhouse, and similar
uses. The uses, other than dwellings which are permitted by right
or exception in the R-Districts may be included within a PUD, if such
nonresidential uses do not occupy more than 10% of the gross area
of the PUD which are in the R-1, and/or R-2 Zone, and are designed
and located to be compatible with the residential uses of the PUD
and with the residential use of adjacent properties. Land set aside
for public facilities such as schools, libraries, firehouses, etc.
shall be excluded for the purposes of calculating the gross area of
the PUD. The uses permitted in areas zoned as commercial or industrial
districts shall be limited to those uses permitted in the district
to which the property is zoned.
b.
Accessory Uses. Accessory uses customarily incident to the residential
uses included within the PUD are permitted. Accessory signs shall
comply with the provisions of the Residential Districts except as
hereafter provided for accessory commercial facilities may be included
within the PUD in accordance with the following standards:
(1)
The commercial uses shall be limited to convenience goods and
services and eating places other than drive-ins.
(2)
The aggregate floor area of the commercial facilities shall
not exceed 50 square feet per dwelling unit nor a total of 30,000
square feet.
(3)
Each commercial establishment shall be limited to a maximum
of 3,500 square feet of floor area.
(4)
Commercial signs shall be limited to one nameplate of not more
than 16 square feet for each establishment. Nameplates shall be attached
flat against a building wall and shall not be animated, flashing,
or have other than indirect illumination. Window signs shall not be
permitted.
(5)
The commercial area shall be designed primarily for the service,
convenience, and benefit of the residents of the PUD, and shall be
designed and located in such manner as to be compatible with the residential
use of the PUD and of adjacent properties.
4.
Bulk and Area Requirements.
a.
Lot Width and Lot Area Minimums. Within a PUD, a minimum lot size
requirement of 1,000 square feet shall apply to lots utilized for
dwelling purposes. A minimum lot width requirement of 40 feet shall
apply to lots utilized for dwelling purposes.
b.
Number of Permitted Dwelling Units. It is the intent of this Code
that the aggregate density and intensity of use within the PUD remain
the same as that which would be permitted if the area were developed
conventionally, but that within the PUD the permitted number of dwelling
units may be reallocated irrespective of use district lines or lot
lines. The maximum number of permitted dwelling units within a PUD
shall be computed as follows:
Residential Area of the PUD divided by
| ||
Permitted D.U.s
|
=
|
|
Minimum land area per D.U. permitted in the applicable use district
|
The residential area for the purposes of the above described
computation shall be the gross area of the PUD less the lot area or
areas designated for and use other than dwellings, quasi-dwellings,
residential open space and recreation areas. Each 600 square feet
of quasi-dwelling, such as a care home, shall constitute a dwelling
unit. If the PUD is within two or more use districts, the permitted
density shall be the sum of the permitted dwelling units computed
separately for the residential area within each district.
|
c.
Livability Space. Livability space may be provided on a lot containing
the dwelling unit or units on which computed, or in common areas.
Common livability space shall be designed and located so as to be
accessible to the dwelling units it is intended to serve. Provisions
for the ownership and maintenance of common livability space as will
insure its continuity and conservation shall be incorporated in the
subdivision plat, in compliance with the provisions of Subsection
7e of this section.
d.
Building Height. Within a PUD, the maximum building height shall

provide that the City of Weatherford may enforce compliance therewith.
f.
Issuance of Building Permits. No building permits shall be issued
on lands within the PUD except in accordance with the approved subdivision
plat filed on record with the County Clerk. A building permit for
a free-standing or separate commercial structure shall not be issued
until building permits have been issued for at least 1/2 of the number
of dwelling units on which the authorization of the commercial use
is based, provided, however, that in the case of a PUD providing for
more than 600 dwelling units the City must permit a portion of the
proposed commercial development to be constructed prior to the construction
of 1/2 of the dwelling units where such improvements bear a reasonable
relationship between the number of living units and the staging of
commercial development and said relationship is so stated and contained
in the approved outline development plant.
g.
Amendments. Minor changes in the platted PUD may be authorized by
the Planning Commission upon a review of a proposed amended subdivision
plat, incorporating such changes, so long as substantial compliance
is maintained with the outlined development plan and the purposes
and standards of the PUD provisions hereof. Changes which would represent
a significant departure from the outline development plan shall require
formal abandonment and the subsequent filing of a new application
for Planned Unit Development.
h.
Abandonment of Approved Plat. All plats may be considered void if
development is not begun within two years from the official recording
date of the said plat with the County Clerk.
