[Ord. No. 3140, § 1(4.08), 11-14-1989; Ord. No. 3378, § 1 (m., n.), 9-22-1995; Ord. No. 3800, § 1, 10-28-2003; Ord. No. 4634, § 8, 3-8-2016; Ord. No. 4837, § 8, 1-9-2018]
Intent and purpose. The purpose of the planned development districts is to provide a means of achieving greater flexibility in development of land in a manner not possible in conventional zones; to encourage a more imaginative and innovative design of projects; to promote a more desirable community environment; and to retain maximum control over both the structure and future operation of the development.
The Board of Aldermen, upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, may, by ordinance adopted in the same manner as zoning districts are created, authorize a planned development district when the proposed development or use of a specific tract of land or area warrants greater flexibility, control, and density than is afforded under the general regulations of standard zoning districts. However, it should be noted that these planned development regulations are not intended to allow excessive densities, or the development of incompatible land uses, either within the development, or as the development relates to the general neighborhood. The standards contained in the following provisions must be strictly adhered to by the applicant. The City may, upon proper application, approve a planned development for a site of at least 2.5 acres to facilitate the use of flexible techniques of land development and site design, by providing relief from zone requirements designed for conventional developments in order to obtain one or more of the following objectives:
Relationship of planned development districts to zoning map:
Mapped district. The PD designation is not intended to be attached to existing use districts as an overlay. The PD designation as detailed in this section is a separate use district and may be attached to a parcel of land through the process of rezoning and zoning map amendment.
Plan approval required. It is the intent of this article that no development or redevelopment of the property encompassed by the PD designation take place until an acceptable development plan has been reviewed and approved in conformance with the requirements of this section.
Types of planned developments. All areas of the City subject to the PD designation shall be assigned one of the following district classifications which shall be considered a separate use district and subject to the specific restrictions and limitations outlined in this section.
Planned development-residential (PD-R): Planned developments involving residential uses only.
Planned development-commercial (PD-C): Planned developments involving commercial uses only.
Planned development-manufacturing (PD-M): Planned developments involving manufacturing uses only.
Mixed use developments (MXD): Planned developments involving a mixture of residential and nonresidential uses.
Procedures for planned development approval:
Preapplication procedure. Prior to filing any application for planned development approval the prospective applicant shall request a preapplication conference with the Director of Public Works. Such request shall include a brief and general narrative description of the nature, location and extent of the proposed planned development; and a list of any professional consultants advising the prospective applicant with respect to the proposed planned development. Upon receipt of such request the City planning staff shall promptly schedule such a conference.
Preliminary development plan. A preliminary development plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission with the application for a planned development. A final development plan, including the requirements of preliminary plan, may be submitted as a single application. The preliminary plan shall contain the following information:
Site and landscape plan: One or a series of maps shall be submitted indicating:
An out-boundary survey plat and legal description of the property.
The location, size and height of all existing and proposed structures on the site;
The location and general design (dimensions and materials) of all driveways, curb cuts and sidewalks including connections to building entrances;
Existing and proposed grades at an interval of two feet or less, extended beyond the project site to include adjacent properties and structures;
The proposed general use and development of internal spaces, including all recreational and open space areas, plazas and major landscaped areas by function, and the general location and description of all proposed outdoor furniture (seating, lighting, telephones, etc.);
A landscaping plan meeting the standards and requirements of Division 11 of this article;
The location and details of all retaining walls, fences (including privacy fences, etc.) and earth berms;
The description and location of all refuse collection facilities including screening to be provided;
Provisions for both on- and off-site stormwater drainage and detention related to the proposed development.
The scale of the drawing or drawings indicating the above shall be reasonably related to the site size and the complexity of the proposed development, and the scale shall in no event be smaller than one inch equals 50 feet. All drawings shall likewise indicate a project name, the names of adjoining streets, the applicant's name, a scale, a north arrow, and the date drawn.
The applicant may be required to provide, at applicant's expense, additional clarification and/or further detail of the site plan, as deemed necessary by the Planning Commission.
Site and building sections. Schematic or illustrative sections shall be drawn to a scale of one inch equals eight feet or larger, indicating both edge conditions and internal grade changes in relation to principal variations of internal building levels and site line relations to adjacent structures.
Typical elevations. Typical elevations of proposed buildings shall be provided at a reasonable scale.
Allocation of site area by building coverage, parking, loading and driveways, and open space areas including total open space, recreation area, landscaped areas and others;
Total dwelling units and floor area distributed by general type (one-bedroom, two-bedroom, etc.); and total floor area ratio and residential density distribution;
Floor area in nonresidential use by category and total floor area ratio;
Project report. A brief project report shall be provided to include an explanation of the character of the proposed development, verification of the applicant's ownership and contractual interest in the subject site, and anticipated development schedule. At the discretion of the Planning Commission and/or Board of Aldermen, analyses by qualified technical personnel or consultants may be required as to the market and financial feasibility, traffic impact, environmental impact, stormwater and erosion control, etc., of the proposed development.
Phased development. If the planned development is proposed to be constructed in stages or units during a period extending beyond a single construction season, a development schedule indicating:
The minimum area and the approximate location of common open space and public improvements that will be required at each stage.
If any stage or unit as proposed contains a share of open space or other public or private recreation or service facility less than that which its size, number of units or density would otherwise require, a statement shall be submitted setting forth what bond, credit, escrow or other assurance the applicant proposes in order to ensure that the difference between that which would otherwise be required and that which the applicant proposes to provide in the instant stage or unit is ultimately provided.
Placement of all temporary structures utilized during construction, i.e., construction offices, siltation control devices, etc.
An application for a planned development shall be accompanied by a filing fee in an amount established by the Board of Aldermen. An application together with a complete preliminary development plan, including information as required in Subsection 26-168(c)(2), shall be considered at the first regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting but not sooner than 30 days after the notice of acceptance of the completed application. Notices of the Planning Commission meeting shall be sent to owners of record of all properties within 200 feet of the parcel included in the application.
Staff review. The Director of Public Works shall coordinate a review of the application by appropriate City departments. A written report documenting the review and staff recommendations shall be prepared by the Director of Public Works or his designee and submitted to the Planning Commission at the meeting at which it first considers the application.
After consideration of the applicant and staff report, the Planning Commission, shall make a report to the Board of Aldermen regarding the environmental impact of such proposed building or use upon the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, public utility facilities, and other matters pertaining to the general public health, safety and welfare of the City. The findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission shall be transmitted to the Board of Aldermen. If the Planning Commission's recommendation is for approval, its report shall contain the conditions or restrictions recommended by the Planning Commission with respect to the preliminary development plan.
The Board of Aldermen shall hold a public hearing thereon upon at least 15 days' public notice. If the preliminary development plan is approved by the Board of Aldermen, it shall adopt a resolution approving the preliminary development plan with conditions as specified therein and authorizing the preparation of the final development plan. Simultaneously, with approval of the preliminary plan, the Board of Aldermen shall adopt an ordinance rezoning the site. Such ordinance shall become effective upon approval of the final development plan.
Final plan. Within nine months following approval of the preliminary development plan, but at least 30 days before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission, the petitioner shall submit a final development plan to the Planning Commission for its review and consideration to determine if the final development plan is in conformance with the approved preliminary development plan and with the imposed conditions of approval. The final development plan shall reflect the entire planned development if it is to be completed in one phase, or a phase of the planned development if it consists of more than one phase. In the event that any proposed final development plan is submitted more than nine months after approval of the preliminary development plan, the matter shall be referred to the Board of Aldermen for reconsideration of the preliminary development plan approval.
The final development plan, in addition to the matters shown on the preliminary development plan, shall include the following:

Staff review. During the time between the filing of the complete final development plan and the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission, the Director of Public Works, or his representative, shall review the final development plan for compliance with the approved preliminary development plan and shall report to the Planning Commission the findings of his review.
After consideration of the application and staff report, the Planning Commission shall recommend approval, or disapproval of the final development plan. The final development plan shall conform to the preliminary development plan. If the final development plan does not conform to the preliminary development plan, or if the conditions of the preliminary development plan approval are not adequately met, the final development plan shall not be approved.

In addition to the requirements as outlined above for individual uses within a planned development district, the minimum overall site size required for such a planned development as a whole shall be 2.5 acres. Provided, however, that this minimum site size may be waived by the Board of Aldermen upon recommendation by the Planning Commission if the parcel in question has certain unique characteristics such as, but not limited to, significant topographic change, significant trees or wooded areas, wetlands, floodplain areas, soil conditions, utility easements, or unusual shape or proportions; or, if it is determined that the use proposed is desirable or necessary in relationship to the surrounding neighborhood; or, if the Board should determine such waiver to be in general public interest.
No approval of a final development plan shall be valid for a period longer than 12 months from the date of approval unless within such period a building permit is obtained and construction is commenced.
The Board of Aldermen may grant extensions not exceeding six months each upon written request of the original applicant if the application submitted is substantially the same as the initially-approved application. However, the Board of Aldermen has the power in such cases to attach new conditions to approval. At such time as the period of validity of an approved final development plan lapses, the final development plan and all uses, terms, and conditions thereof shall be considered null and void. No further development of the site shall be permitted except by application in accordance with the procedural requirements of this section, whereby it shall be considered an entirely new application.
Should a request for extension of an approved final development plan contain substantial changes, as determined by the Board of Aldermen, the Board of Aldermen shall require the applicant to refile his application subject to the requirements of this section as if it were an entirely new application.
