The purpose of good site design is to create a functional and attractive development, to minimize adverse impacts, and to ensure a project will be an asset to a community. To promote this purpose, a site plan shall conform to the following standards which are designed to result in a well-planned community without adding unnecessarily to development costs.
A. 
Site design.
(1) 
Design of the development shall take into consideration all existing local and regional plans for the surrounding community.
(2) 
Development of the site shall be based on the site analysis. To the maximum extent practicable, development shall be located to preserve the natural features of the site, to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity, and to minimize negative impacts and alteration of natural features.
(3) 
The following specific areas shall be preserved as undeveloped open space, to the extent consistent with the reasonable utilization of land, and in accordance with applicable state or local regulations:
(a) 
Unique and/or fragile areas, including wetlands as defined in Section 404, Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, and delineated on wetlands maps prepared by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, field verified by on site inspection;
(b) 
Significant trees or stands of trees, defined as the largest known individual trees of each species in the state, large trees approaching the diameter of the known largest tree, or species or clumps of trees that are rare to the area or of particular horticultural or landscape value;
(c) 
Lands in the floodplain, as defined by state or local regulations;
(d) 
Steep slopes in excess of 20% as measured over a ten-foot interval unless appropriate engineering measures concerning slope stability, erosion, and resident safety are taken;
(e) 
Habitats of endangered wildlife, as identified on federal or state lists; and
(f) 
Historically significant structures and sites, as listed on federal or state lists of historic places.
(4) 
The development shall be laid out to avoid adversely affecting groundwater and aquifer recharge; to reduce cut and fill; to avoid unnecessary impervious cover; to prevent flooding; to provide adequate access to lots; and to mitigate adverse effects of shadow, noise, glare, traffic, drainage, and utilities on neighboring properties.
B. 
Residential development design.
(1) 
In planned unit developments (PUD), the Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission may vary lot areas and dimensions, yards, and setbacks for the purpose of encouraging and promoting flexibility, economy, and environmental soundness in layout and design, provided that the average lots, areas and dimensions, yards, and setbacks within the subdivision conform to the minimum requirements of the City's development regulations, and provided that such standards shall be appropriate to the type of development permitted.
[Amended 11-8-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]
(2) 
Residential lots shall front on residential access or subcollector streets, not on collector streets.
(3) 
Every lot shall have sufficient access to it for emergency vehicles as well as for those needing access to the property in its intended use.
(4) 
The placement of units in residential developments shall take into consideration topography, privacy, building height, orientation, drainage, and aesthetics.
(5) 
Buildings shall be spaced so that adequate privacy is provided for units.
C. 
Commercial and industrial development design. Commercial and industrial developments shall be designed according to the same principles governing the design of residential developments; namely, buildings shall be located according to topography, with environmentally sensitive areas avoided to the maximum extent practicable; factors such as drainage, noise, odor, and surrounding land uses considered in siting buildings; sufficient access shall be provided; and adverse impacts buffered.
D. 
Circulation system design.
(1) 
The road system shall be designed to permit the safe, efficient, and orderly movement of traffic; to meet but not exceed the needs of the present and future population served; to have a simple and logical pattern; to respect natural features and topography; and to present an attractive streetscape.
(2) 
In planned residential developments, the road system shall be designed to serve the needs of the neighborhood and to discourage use by through traffic.
(3) 
The pedestrian system shall be located as required for safety. In conventional developments, walks shall be placed parallel to the street, with exceptions permitted to preserve natural features or to provide visual interest. In residential planned developments, walks may be placed away from the road system, but they may also be required parallel to the street for safety reasons.
(4) 
Bikeways shall be required only if specifically indicated in the Comprehensive Plan.
E. 
Landscape design.
(1) 
Reasonable landscaping should be provided at development entrances, in public areas, and adjacent to dwellings. The type and amount of landscaping required shall be allowed to vary with the type of development.
(2) 
The plant or other landscaping material that best serves the intended function shall be selected. Landscaping materials shall be appropriate for the local environment, soil conditions, and availability of water. The impact of the proposed landscaping plan at various time intervals shall also be considered.
A. 
Purpose. Planned unit residential developments shall be required to provide open space. Developed open space shall be designed to provide active recreational facilities to serve the residents of the development. Undeveloped open space shall be designed to preserve important site amenities and environmentally sensitive area. [See § 143-16A(3) for areas to be preserved as undeveloped open space.]
B. 
Minimum requirements.
(1) 
Amount of open space required. Ten percent of the tract proposed for development shall be set aside for developed and undeveloped open space, adjusted, as appropriate, for conditions such as population density, existing municipal facilities, topography and other appropriate site and development-specific factors.
(2) 
Size of open space parcels. The area of each parcel of open space designed for active recreational purposes shall be of such minimum dimensions as to be functionally usable.
(3) 
Location of open space parcels. Open space parcels shall be convenient to the dwelling units they are intended to serve. However, because of noise generation, they shall be sited with sensitivity to surrounding development.
C. 
Improvements of open space parcels.
[Amended 11-8-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]
(1) 
Developed open space. The Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission may require the installation of recreational facilities, taking into consideration:
(a) 
The character of the open space land;
(b) 
The estimated age and the recreation needs of persons likely to reside in the development;
(c) 
Proximity, nature, and excess capacity of existing municipal recreation facilities; and
(d) 
The cost of the recreational facilities.
(2) 
Undeveloped open space. As a general principle, undeveloped open space should be left in its natural state. A developer may make certain improvements such as the cutting of trails for walking or jogging, or the provision of picnic areas, etc. In addition, the Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission may require a developer to make other improvements, such as removing dead or diseased trees, thinning trees or other vegetation to encourage more desirable growth, and grading and seeding.
