Section 405.350: Planned Unit Developments

Sub Section A. Purpose and Intent

1. 
   The purpose and intent of the planned unit development regulations is to provide for the compatible development of two (2) or more different land uses within a single site. This combination of traditional zoning classifications under one (1) development is designed to permit greater flexibility and should benefit both the developer and the public interest.
   
2. 
   It is not the intent of these regulations to circumvent traditional zoning classifications, increase the average density or uses beyond that which is provided for in other Sections of the zoning regulations or allow development which is not compatible with the principles of the Comprehensive Plan. These regulations should provide for a greater flexibility in the design of yards, courts, buildings and circulation than would otherwise be possible through the strict application of district regulations in order to provide the opportunity for:
   

1. 
   A pattern of development which preserves trees, outstanding natural topographic and geologic features and prevents soil erosion.
   
2. 
   A creative approach to the use of land and related physical development.
   
3. 
   Open space and/or recreation areas.
   
4. 
   An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower building and maintenance costs.
   
5. 
   An environment of stable character that is in harmony with surrounding development and that creates a sense of place.
   
6. 
   A more desirable environment than would be possible through the strict application of other Sections of this Chapter.
   

3. 
   The Commission and subsequently the Board of Aldermen may exclude any restrictions or conditions. Consideration may be given but not be limited to the compatibility and relationship of land uses adjacent to or in close proximity to the proposed development, overall impact of the proposed development upon the community and the proposed development's conformance with the principles of the Comprehensive Plan.
   

Sub Section B. Application of Planned Unit Development

A planned unit development zone may be proposed for any location in the City if it is in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

Sub Section C. Effect Of Planned Unit Development Approval. Approval by ordinance of a planned unit development zone shall constitute an amendment to the zoning regulations. Approval of a planned unit development shall supersede all existing and prior zoning classifications. Property approved for planned unit development shall be identified with the letters "PUD" followed by the corresponding zoning case number.
Sub Section D. Planned Unit Development Requirements.

All planned unit development districts shall, at a minimum, satisfy the following standards and requirements:

1. 
   Permitted uses. The planned unit development must contain a minimum of two (2) different land uses or intensities from the following list:
   

1. 
   "R-1" Single-Family.
   
2. 
   "R-2" Two-Family.
   
3. 
   "R-3" Medium Density Multi-Family.
   
4. 
   "C-1" General Commercial.
   

2. 
   Development intensity. The intensity of the planned unit development as a whole or by subarea shall not exceed that allowed in the comparable zoning district of the allowed uses and shall further be governed by the following:
   

1. 
   For non-residential development, the intensity of development may be regulated by:
   

1. 
   Specifying an appropriate Floor Area Ratio(s) (FAR),
   
2. 
   Specifying maximum square footage or gross leasable area,
   
3. 
   Specifying setbacks, height and bulk restrictions,
   
4. 
   A combination of such restrictions for the project as a whole or for components or subareas within the project.
   
5. 
   In addition, non-residential development plans may specify performance standards to be imposed on the project and restrictions regarding the location and nature of commercial and other non-residential activities.
   

2. 
   The residential density of a project shall be computed in accordance with the following formula:
   

Maximum number of dwelling units = Entire area of the property to be utilized for residential purposes multiplied by the maximum district(s) in effect for the property at the time of ("PUD") district application.

ZONING DISTRICT	MINIMUM LOT AREA PER DWELLING UNIT
"R-1" Single-family	12,000 square feet
"R-2" Two-family	7,000 square feet
"R-3" Multi-family	4,000 square feet
"C-1" Commercial	Residential not permitted

3. 
   Public facilities. All uses within the planned unit development are required to be connected to public utilities including: water, sewer, and electric, gas and telephone. If these facilities are not available at the time of development, it shall be the responsibility of the developer to provide them unless stipulated otherwise by the Board of Aldermen.
   
4. 
   Access to public streets.
   

1. 
   All uses within the planned unit development are required to be connected to public streets. If additional roads or streets are required, it shall be the responsibility of the developer to construct them to the standards of the City of Pleasant Hope unless stipulated otherwise by the Board of Aldermen. In addition, certain uses may not be developed unless access is provided to a specific street classification as set forth in the following table.
   
2. 
   In addition to these minimum standards, no one- or two-family residential dwelling units should have direct access to any street classified as secondary arterial or higher.
   

LAND USE	MINIMUM STREET CLASSIFICATION
"R-1" Single-family	Local
"R-2" Two-family	Local
"R-3” Multi-family	Collector
"C-1" General commercial	Secondary arterial

5. 
   Parking. Unless specifically modified by the planned unit development amendment, the parking requirements of Section 405.490 through 405.530 shall apply. Reductions in parking requirements shall be approved only if it can be demonstrated that parking demand will be less due to the design and character of the planned unit development.
   
6. 
   Perimeter treatment. The planned unit development amendment shall specify any special treatment of perimeter areas designed to mitigate the impact of the project upon adjoining properties and/or to achieve an appropriate transition between land uses and densities. The Board of Aldermen may impose those standards and requirements for perimeter treatment it deems necessary to protect adjoining properties from adverse effects and to achieve an appropriate transition of land uses and densities.
   

Sub Section E. Procedure For Planned Unit Development Approval.

Applications for planned unit development shall be processed, reviewed and approved pursuant to the procedures prescribed in Section 405.110 through 405.220.
