[Ord. No. 4190, 2-1-2021]
A.
Purpose.
1.
The PUD District is intended to encourage innovative land planning
and site design concepts that achieve a high level of public benefits,
environmental sensitivity, energy efficiency, aesthetics, high-quality
development, and other community goals by:
a.
Reducing or eliminating the inflexibility that may result from
strict application of the standards of this Code that were designed
primarily for individual lots;
b.
Allowing greater freedom in selecting the means to provide access,
site design, open space, and design amenities;
c.
Promoting quality urban design and environmentally sensitive
development by allowing development to take advantage of special site
characteristics, locations, and land uses;
d.
Requiring compliance with development standards that reflect
the high level of public investment in adjoining lands; and
e.
Facilitating implementation of the Lake Saint Louis Comprehensive
Plan and development in the interest of health, safety and welfare
of the residents of Lake Saint Louis.
B.
Previously Approved Planned Developments.
1.
The following zoning districts and developments, including development
plans and any associated text and standards, which were approved prior
to the effective date of this Code are now designated as separate
PUD Overlay Districts, and shall continue in effect and be considered
legally conforming under this Code:
a.
Properties with a prior zoning designation of Planned Development
District (PD) or Planned Residential District (PR), and which have
been platted, developed, or granted approval of a preliminary development
plan or final development plan that is valid as of the effective date
of this Code.
b.
Areas platted prior to March 21, 1978, and subject to a zero
lot line development concept, more specifically identified as the
Patio Cove I, Patio Cove II, Patio Cove III, and Patio Green subdivisions.
2.
Developments identified in Subsection (B)(1) shall be subject to all applicable standards of this Code, including those of the underlying base zoning district, except where expressly modified by this Article or by a previously approved ordinance, resolution, plan, plat, or other approval.
3.
Preliminary development plans, final development plans, and site plans for areas approved prior to the effective date of this Code for developments identified in Subsection (B)(1) will be considered to be Master Plans (Section 405.150) or site plans (Section 405.160), as determined by the Community Development Director.
C.
Eligibility.
1.
An application for a Zoning Map amendment (Section 405.100) to include a property in the PUD Overlay District may only be accepted for review and consideration if the application meets the following criteria:
a.
Need. The proposed development could not be
developed using conventional zoning districts or standards.
b.
Minimum Size. At least one of the following
criteria is met:
c.
Unified Control. The entire area of the proposed
development shall be under single ownership or unified control, such
that there is a single entity having responsibility for completing
the entire project. This provision shall not prohibit a transfer of
ownership or control, provided that a unified ownership remains.
D.
E.
Regulatory Flexibility.
1.
Unless otherwise expressly allowed by this Article and approved
by the Board of Aldermen during the approval process, property located
in the PUD Overlay District shall be subject to all applicable standards
of this Code, including those of the underlying base zoning district.
2.
To encourage flexibility and creativity, the Board of Aldermen
may impose additional standards beyond those contained elsewhere in
this Code and may approve specific exceptions from or modifications
to the requirements of the underlying base zoning district and other
requirements of this Code as a part of the approval process.
3.
Any regulatory modification shall be approved through a finding
by the Board of Aldermen that:
a.
The modification addresses a unique situation.
b.
The project provides public benefits to the City in an amount
proportional to the number and degree of requested regulatory modifications.
Public benefits include but are not limited to architectural distinction,
new or enhanced public infrastructure, sustainable site and/or building
features, land dedication, public art, open space and landscaping,
or enhancements to off-site City-owned parks or other public facilities.
c.
The development quality is better than what could have been
accomplished through the strict application of the base zoning district
standards or other standards of this Code.
4.
After a property has been included in the PUD Overlay District, requests for relief from any additional standards or regulatory modifications mentioned in Subsections (E)(2) and (3) on a single lot or two (2) adjacent lots shall require approval of a minor adjustment (Section 405.220) or variance (Section 405.230), except where an alternative process is specified elsewhere in this Code. Requests for relief for multiple properties shall be processed as a new application in accordance with Subsection (D).
