(a)
Purpose.
The purpose of the PD district is to
accommodate special places, neighborhoods, communities, and centers
planned and designed as envisioned by the comprehensive plan that
require unique standards, not permitted by the straight zoning districts
in this article. PD districts offer flexibility in design and uses
in exchange for substantial added benefit to the city. PD districts
may also be requested to address challenges presented by specific
site or development conditions. Development can be a combination of
commercial, residential, institutional, parks, and/or recreation uses
that are planned, developed, and/or operated as a cohesive area, whether
by a single owner or a combination of owners.
(b)
Classification.
All new PD districts or amendments to existing PD districts shall be considered a rezoning request as outlined in section
9.03.034. Each PD district approved under the provisions of this section shall be considered an amendment to the zoning ordinance and zoning map and shall be applicable only to the property described in the PD district's legal description.
(c)
Base zoning.
PD districts shall have base zoning,
of one or more straight zoning district(s) of this article, that correspond
with the concept plan, development standards, and other potential
exhibits and studies.
(d)
Permitted uses.
The uses to be permitted in any PD district shall be consistent with the uses permitted in the base zoning district(s) as specified, unless otherwise enumerated in the PD district's development standards. Any proposed change(s) to the permitted uses within a PD district shall be considered a rezoning request as outlined in section
9.03.034 and processed as
a PD district amendment.

PD districts shall provide design and
standards consistent with the following:
(1)
Where development is adjacent to or has floodplains and/or large
easements included, they shall be activated with a minimum eight-foot
wide trail, a minimum of one trailhead, and off-spots spaced at a
minimum of every quarter mile.
(A)
The trailhead(s) shall include, at minimum, associated signage,
three parking spots, a water fountain, a bench, shade, and a trash
receptacle;
(B)
The off-spot(s) shall include, at minimum, a bench, a water
fountain, shade, and a trash receptacle.
(C)
Trails shall be lighted to provide continuous visibility with
relevant shielded and downward-facing illumination.
(2)
Activated amenities.
PD districts shall include
activated open spaces or parks that provide a park or activated open
space within a quarter mile of each proposed dwelling unit. Golf courses,
parks, and public open space areas near the PD district can assist
in meeting the quarter mile walk shed requirement. Low-impact passive
uses shall be permitted to meet the quarter mile walk shed requirement
and include conservation of open land in its natural state (for example,
woodland, fallow field, or meadow), neighborhood squares, common areas,
picnic areas, community gardens, walking trails, bikeways, other kinds
of pathways, and similar low-impact passive recreational uses. Active
recreation uses shall also be permitted (and are encouraged) to meet
the requirement and include recreational playing fields, playgrounds,
pickleball courts, neighborhood pools, and clubhouse structures. Each
activated open space or park shall include, at minimum the following:
(A)
One shaded bench, water fountain, trash receptacle, and a path
that connects to a public sidewalk;
(B)
For developments 10 acres or larger, a minimum of one playground
to include play or recreation equipment shall be provided each half
mile.
(C)
Areas consistent with or similar to the following shall not
be utilized to meet the quarter mile walk shed requirement:
(i) Land areas reserved for the exclusive use and benefit
of an individual owner or tenant;
(ii) Public or private street right-of-way, parkways,
alleys, driveways, parking or loading areas;
(iii) Religious institutions or private school sites;
or
(iv) Street medians or islands.
(D)
The maximum amount of activated amenity used to meet the quarter
mile walk shed requirement for stormwater detention or retention purposes
shall not exceed twenty-five [percent] (25%) of the activated amenity
area. If the activated amenity area contains a retention pond, the
pond shall include at least one (1) aeration device, such as a fountain,
waterfall or underwater device.
(E)
Activated amenity areas adjacent to street rights-of-way shall
be a minimum depth of twenty five (25) feet and shall be landscaped
to include the retention or planting of one (1) three inch (3") caliper
tree per each fifty (50) feet of street frontage, which may be clustered
or distributed within the activated amenity area.
(f)
Potential impacts.
(1)
The combination of proposed uses and design within each PD district
shall not result in:
(A)
A combination of use and design that could otherwise be achieved
with straight zoning (instead of a PD district);

Overconcentration of any one use type;
(C)
Adverse impacts on drainage, natural systems, water capacity
or quality, sanitation, sanitary sewer treatment or capacity, traffic,

Design and development that is consistent with the vision of
the comprehensive plan and Lavon's desired brand; and
(B)
Preserve and enhance Lavon's natural areas, trees, habitats,
and/or drainage.
(g)
Special ordinance provisions.
Compliance with
standards and exhibits within each PD district is required. Special
ordinance provisions as outlined in each PD district shall not be
construed as conditions precedent to the approval of the associated
zoning amendment, but shall be construed as zoning standards required
upon and during development and operation/occupancy within the PD
district. No special ordinance provisions shall amend or modify any
requirements of the subdivision ordinance or its associated design
standards.
(h)
Minor modifications.
The city manager or their
designee may authorize minor modifications that:
(1)
Do not alter the compatibility or buffers of the proposed development
to adjacent properties or public frontages;
(2)
Do not alter the permitted uses;
(3)
Do not increase the maximum density or lot coverage;
