A. 
Title. The provisions of this article shall be known as the "planned development zoning regulations" of this title.
B. 
Purpose. The purpose of planned development zones include the following:
1. 
To allow a mixture of uses, unusual building intensity or design characteristics, or variations in density including density between the midrange and upper end of land use designated by the general plan, which would not normally be permitted in a single use zone;
2. 
To implement specific plans prepared for specific plan areas designated by the community development plan of the city of Brentwood, and to implement other specific plans which may be adopted by the city council, by providing regulations for the adoption of planned development zones for all or part of the area encompassed by each adopted specific plan.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008)
The provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to the following properties:
A. 
To any property in the city at such time an application for rezoning for a planned development zone is made and to any property for which planned development zoning is approved;
B. 
To all or part of any area in the city for which a specific plan has been approved;
C. 
Rezoning to the planned development zone may be allowed through the approval by the city of a development plan showing the design of the project, the interrelationship of uses, their relation to the surrounding area and conformance of the plan to the community development plan and any applicable specific plan or following the adoption of an applicable specific plan.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008)
A. 
Any and all compatible uses are permitted within the zoning regulations adopted for the specific planned development zone; provided, however, no use shall be authorized which does not conform to the community development plan of the city of Brentwood and to any applicable specific plan;
B. 
Pursuant to Chapter 17.715, ADUs are a permitted use in a PD zone that allow single-family or multifamily dwelling residential use. JADUs are a permitted use in a PD zone that is a single-family residential zone.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008; Ord. 1083, 2/25/2025)
Any use not listed as a permitted use or listed as conditionally permitted in the specific planned development zone may be permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit pursuant to Chapter 17.830, except for car washes.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008; Ord. 1078, 12/10/2024)
A. 
In addition to the rezoning procedure set forth in Chapter 17.870 the creation of a PD zone shall require the adoption of zoning ordinance text specifying the regulations applicable to the newly created zone.
B. 
In addition to the information required by Section 17.800.007, application for the creation of a PD zone shall require submittal of plans and supporting data as may be appropriate to the size, nature and specificity of the proposed development and the specificity of any applicable specific plan. Plans and data may include any of the following as may be required by the planning director.
1. 
A map showing the proposed street system and lot design, if any, and areas proposed to be dedicated or reserved for interior circulation, parks, school sites, public buildings and other such uses;
2. 
A map showing the topography of the proposed zone, with contour intervals sufficient to meet all the requirements of the city;
3. 
A land use plan, precisely indicating the area or areas to be used for each particular land use;
4. 
A professionally prepared site plan which shall be drawn to scale and shall show the location of all proposed buildings, including notation of minimum distances between buildings, and between buildings and building site, and/or use boundaries;
5. 
An off-street parking and loading plan showing the ratio between off-street parking and loading spaces and building floor areas, and/or the ratio of parking spaces to anticipated employees, or other criterion required by the city. Such plan shall be supported by data demonstrating the adequacy of the parking for the demand generated by the use to which it pertains;
6. 
A circulation diagram indicating the proposed movement of vehicles, goods and pedestrians within the development, and to and from any adjacent public thoroughfares;
7. 
Any special engineering features and traffic regulating devices needed to facilitate or insure the safety and efficiency of the circulation pattern;
8. 
A landscaping and tree-planting plan and an irrigation plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect;
9. 
Elevations and/or perspective drawings of all proposed major structures prepared by a licensed engineer or architect. Such drawings need not be the result of final architectural plans, but must be in detail sufficient to enable the commission to determine, within reasonable limits, the height, bulk and arrangement of the proposed buildings and their general appearance;
10. 
A development schedule indicating the date on which construction is to begin, the anticipated rate of development, and the anticipated date of completion. The development schedule, shall become a zoning regulation which, if not adhered to, will constitute a violation of the zoning and grounds for initiation of rezoning by the city;
11. 
Any proposed conditions, covenants or regulations including provisions for a homeowners association for the purpose of operating and maintaining any common facilities or spaces included in the development and requiring all homeowners to maintain membership in such association.
C. 
In addition to the plans and data submitted pursuant to this section, application for the creation of a PD zone which is established to implement a specific plan adopted or proposed for adoption by the city shall require the submittal of a copy of the specific plan, or any amendment thereof, which has been adopted by the city, or a draft of a specific plan, or an amendment thereof, which has been submitted or is concurrently submitted to the city for its ultimate adoption.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008)
Rezoning for a PD zone shall only be granted when the city can make the following findings:
A. 
That the proposed development will clearly result in a more desirable use of land, and a better physical environment than would be possible under any single or combination of zones;
B. 
That the PD zone proposed is on property which has a suitable relationship to one or more thoroughfares; and that such thoroughfares are adequate to carry any traffic generated by the development;
C. 
That the plan for the proposed development presents a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and service facilities which are appropriate in relation to adjacent or nearby properties and that adequate landscaping and/or screening is included if necessary to insure compatibility;
D. 
That the natural and scenic qualities of the site are protected, with adequate available public and private open spaces designated on the development plan;
E. 
That the development of the subject property, in the manner proposed by the applicant, will not be detrimental to the public welfare, will be in the best interests of the city and will be in keeping with the general intent and spirit of the zoning ordinance and with the city's community development plan, including all relevant elements thereof, and with any applicable specific plan adopted by the city.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008)
A conditional use permit may be granted in the following circumstances:
A. 
If in the opinion of the city certain aspects of the planned development do not lend themselves to zoning regulations the city may require the applicant for rezoning to apply for a conditional use permit for consideration concurrent with the rezoning.
B. 
If provided for in the adopted PD zoning regulations, the conditional use permit procedure may be utilized for the approval of subsequent more detailed plans; provided, that such subsequent plans conform to the PD zoning regulations.
(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008)
A. 
From time to time, the zoning administrator shall compare the actual development accomplished in any PD zone with the approved development plan and shall report his or her findings to the planning commission.
B. 
If, in the opinion of the planning commission the owner of the property in any PD zone is failing to conform to the approved development plan, the commission may initiate proceedings to remove the PD zone designation from the zoning map or may initiate proceedings for an amendment to the zoning regulations.
