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:
(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.
D.
Open space ownership. The type of ownership of land
dedicated for open space purposes shall be selected by the owner,
developer, or subdivider, subject to the approval of the Joint Zoning
Board of Appeals/Planning Commission. Type of ownership may include,
but is not necessarily limited to, the following:
[Amended 11-8-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]
(1)
The municipality, subject to acceptance by the governing
body of the municipality;
(2)
Other public jurisdictions or agencies, subject to
their acceptance;
(3)
Quasi-public organizations, subject to their acceptance;
(4)
Homeowner, condominium, or cooperative associations
or organizations; or
(5)
Shared, undivided interest by all property owners
in the subdivision.
E.
Homeowners' association. If the open space is owned
and maintained by a homeowner or condominium association, the developer
shall file a declaration of covenants and restrictions that will govern
the association, to be submitted with the application for the preliminary
approval. The provisions shall include, but are not necessarily limited
to, the following:
(1)
The homeowners' association must be established before
the homes are sold;
(2)
Membership must be mandatory for each home buyer and
any successive buyer;
(3)
The open space restrictions must be permanent, not
just for a period of years;
(4)
The association must be responsible for liability
insurance, local taxes, and the maintenance of recreational and other
facilities;
(5)
Homeowners must pay their pro rata share of the cost,
and the assessment levied by the association can become a lien on
the property if allowed in the master deed establishing the homeowners'
association; and
(6)
The association must be able to adjust the assessment
to meet changed needs.
The intent of this section is to promote the
public's health, safety, and general welfare by minimizing noise,
air, and visual pollution; improving the appearance of off-street
parking and other vehicular use areas; requiring buffering between
incompatible land uses; regulating the appearance of property abutting
public rights-of-way; protecting and preserving the appearance, character
and value of the community and its residential neighborhood areas;
preventing soil erosion and soil depletion; and promoting groundwater
retention.
A.
