Description. A planned development district is a special district that can be pursued by an applicant in which a standalone ordinance regulating the development is drafted and which binds the development to its unique language.

Regulations.

Development Standards and Design Standards. The requirements of Division VI of this title, Development Standards, and Division V of this title, Design Standards, shall apply to a planned development unless alternate standards are deemed appropriate by the Plan Commission in order to accomplish the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and this title. Any lessening of the required standards of this title shall be clearly beneficial to the city and directly linked to the intent of the planned development (i.e., to provide a mixed use development, accommodate a creative and unique design not otherwise achievable using standard zoning districts and subdivision regulations, or address unusual site conditions or constraints).
(2) 
Establishment Plan. The establishment plan shall indicate the proposed land uses, location of all proposed improvements, and a proposed planned development district ordinance that includes development standards, design standards, and other specifications which shall govern the planned development. If the establishment plan and the planned development district ordinance are silent or do not address a particular land use, development standard, design standard, or other specification, this title shall apply.
(3) 
Open Space. Open space shall be:
(a) 
Conveyed to an owners' association established for the purpose of maintaining common area; or
(b) 
Conveyed to the city if it is willing to accept all or part of the common area; or
(c) 
Conveyed to one or more not-for-profit corporations established for conservation of natural resources.
(Ord. 1746-2023; Ord. 1286-2008; UDO § 4.02)
A proposal for a planned development district shall be initiated by the property owner(s). The site proposed for a planned development shall be under single ownership, or if multiple owners exist, a legal document, legal partnership, or corporation shall be provided indicating that all owners of the property support and desire to develop the land. The legal document shall also indicate who the owners appoint as their representative.
(Ord. 1746-2023; Ord. 1286-2008; UDO § 4.03)
All proceedings brought under this chapter are subject to the rules of procedure of the Plan Commission, unless stated otherwise.

Public Health and Safety. Regulations in this title that directly protect public health and safety shall apply to a planned development.
(B) 
Failure to Comply. If a planned development is no longer proceeding in accordance with its establishment plan or planned development district ordinance the city may deem it a violation and utilize its applicable power to enforce the violation according to Chapter 18.196 AMC, Enforcement and Penalties. No language in a planned development district ordinance shall supersede Chapter 18.196 AMC, Enforcement and Penalties.
(C) 
Rezoning to Standard District. All planned developments, or a subdistrict or phase thereof, that have reached either 90 percent build-out or seven years from its approval date are subject to being rezoned into an appropriate standard zoning district if the city deems it necessary to better administer the development.
(Ord. 1746-2023; Ord. 1286-2008; UDO § 4.05)
(A) 
Designation. No planned development district shall be approved unless the design provides for permanent landscaped or natural open space. Natural open space may be designated through the use of common space or other mechanisms such as conservation easements to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission. Impervious surfaces within rights-of-way or private street easements shall not count towards open space. Wetlands and areas within the floodway and floodway fringe shall only count at 50 percent. Open space shall be provided in at least the following percentage of the total gross area of the planned development by type of use:
(1) 
Single-family and multiple-family residential use: 20 percent.
(2) 
Office use: 15 percent.
(3) 
All other uses: 10 percent.
(B) 
Mixed Uses. In the case of mixed uses, permanent open space shall be allocated in proportion to the mixture of uses that exist. Each use shall have its proportion of open space located within close proximity. The permanent open space need not be located in proximity to the use in the case of preservation of existing natural features.
(C) 
Development in Stages. If the establishment plan provides for the planned development to be constructed in phases, open space shall be provided for each phase of the development relatively proportionate to that phase, and conveyed or guaranteed.
