PRD may be not less than 1.5 acres. Consideration will be given for staging of
common areas, R. V. parking areas and other functions of the development that
are not feasible to phase.
C. The Director of Public Works shall approve the final plat of the PRD provided
he/she finds that:
1. The applicant has redrawn the site plan to incorporate all the
requirements as approved by the Planning Commission and has submitted
the corrected site plan with the final plat.
A final landscaping plan shall be submitted with the final plat. The plan
shall be prepared by a licensed landscape architect and include the proposed
irrigation system layout.
3. The applicant has incorporated all of the improvements and conditions of the
approved site plan into the final plat.
4. The City Engineer has approved all construction drawings of the PRD.
D. The Developer shall record the final plat after it obtains all of the required
signatures and should then submit the required bonds and fees.
SECTION VI. BUILDING PERMITS.
The City shall not issue a building permit for any project until the final plat has been recorded.
All other permit issuance procedures shall be as set forth in the applicable planning, zoning or
subdivision ordinances.
SECTION VII. COMPLETION AND MAINTENANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS.

improvements.
B. Every PRD shall conform to the approved site plan. The applicant or any
other
person or entity shall not add any structures or make any improvements or
changes to a PRD that did not appear on the approved site plan. The applicant
and subsequent owners and applicable associations shall maintain all
improvements shown on the site plan in a neat and attractive manner. Failure to
complete or maintain a PRD in accordance with this Article and with the
approved site plan is a violation of the terms of this Chapter. The City may
initiate criminal and/or civil legal proceedings against any person, firm, entity or
corporation, whether acting as principal, agent, property owner, lessee, lessor,
tenant, landlord, employee, employer or otherwise, for failure to complete or
maintain a PRD in accordance with this Article and with the approved site plan.
SECTION VIII. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS.
The City requires the following development standards and requirements with all PRDs.
A. Density. The maximum density allowed in dwellings per gross acre (D/Ac) shall
be determined by the underlying zones.
B. Height. The maximum height for all structures in a PRD shall be thirty fee (30).
However, if contiguous property to the proposed PRD has been developed with
residential dwellings, then any structure within the PRD that is within 100 feet of
the lot line of the adjacent lot containing a residential dwelling shall have no more
stories than the adjacent residential dwelling. For example, if there is a single
story home adjacent to a PRD, then no structure within the PRD that is within 100
feet of the lot line containing the single story dwelling shall be over one story.
C. Minimum Area. The minimum area required for any PRD shall be two (2)
contiguous acres.
D. Setbacks. Setbacks from property not part of the PRD and from all public streets
shall be at least twenty-five (25) feet. All garages/carports shall be set back a
minimum of twenty (20) feet from a private street or access driveway.
E. Utilities. The public sewer system and the public water supply shall serve all
dwellings. All utilities shall be underground. The developer shall individually
meter natural gas and electricity for each individual dwelling except that with
apartment developments each building is required to have a minimum of one
meter for natural gas and electricity. No water or sewer mainlines shall be
located under covered parking areas.
F. Fences. Developers shall erect a fence with a minimum height of six feet (6) on
the perimeter of all PRDs, except that no fence is required along street frontages.
However, if the applicant desires a fence along a street frontage, the Planning
Commission may approve the fence upon a favorable recommendation from the
City Engineer that the fence does not interfere with traffic safety and is in
compliance with the fencing requirement of the zoning ordinance. The perimeter
fence shall have a consistent design throughout the project and use the same
construction materials for the entire fence. The purpose of the fencing
requirement is to buffer the surrounding residential neighborhoods from the PRD
and to buffer the PRD from surrounding commercial and industrial uses. The
Planning Commission may waive the fencing requirement if the topography is
such that the fence does not meet the purpose of the fencing requirements. If the
developer uses sight obscuring materials, the materials are to be painted with a
high grade oil base paint/sealant that resists graffiti. Vinyl fences and chain link
fences with slats do not need to be painted.
G. Landscaping.
1. All land within the PRD not covered by buildings, driveways, sidewalks,
structures, and parking areas, shall be permanently landscaped with trees,
shrubs, lawn, or ground cover and maintained in accordance with good
landscaping practice. All landscaping shall have a permanent underground
sprinkling system.

(4') above the ground, one (1) evergreen tree at least five (5) gallons in size,
and sixteen (16) evergreen shrubs at least five (5) gallons in size are required
for every two dwellings.
H. Lighting Plan. All PRDs shall include a lighting plan. The lighting plan shall be
designed to:
1. Discourage crime
2. Enhance the safety of the residents and guests of the PRD;
3. Prevent glare onto adjacent properties; and enhance the appearance and design
of the project.
All PRD homeowners' associations and apartment owners are required to control
and meter all outside lighting shown on the lighting plan except for front and back
door lighting. The lighting plan shall designate which lighting shall be commonly
metered to the association or owner.
Parking. There shall be a minimum of two (2) parking spaces provided for each
dwelling, one of which shall be covered. There shall also be a minimum of one
half ('/Z) parking space for each dwelling for guest parking within the
development. Guest parking shall be located within one hundred fifty feet (150')
of the dwellings served. All parking spaces shall measure at least nine feet (9') by
eighteen feet (18). Developers shall pave with asphalt and/or concrete all parking
spaces, parking areas, and driveways and provide proper drainage. Drainage shall
not be channeled or caused to flow across pedestrian walk ways. The architecture
of all covered parking structures shall be compatible with the architecture of the
main structures within the PRD.
Recreational Vehicle Storage. Recreational vehicle owners shall comply with
Section 4.8.A. of the zoning ordinance governing parking of recreation vehicles.
Owners shall not store recreational vehicles within a PRD except in an area the

vehicles. This requirement, with appropriate enforcement provisions, shall be
included in all Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, that run with the property;
homeowners association bylaws; leases; rental agreements, etc. Land included in
an approved RV storage area may be counted towards the 50% landscaping
requirement; provided however, a maximum of 2% of the net acreage of the
project may be used for this credit, so that in no event will the total amount of
10
actual landscaping be less than 48% of the project net acreage. The developer
shall enclose RV storage areas with a six foot (6') high sight obscuring fence and
pave the area with concrete or asphalt.

other public streets outside the PRD where such connection is necessary for
good traffic circulation in the area. All streets in a PRD shall be public streets
constructed to City Standards and Specifications and dedicated to the City.
However, private streets and private drives may be permitted provided that:
a. They will not extend to or provide service to another property or parcel
not included in the PRD unless there is no reasonable way to access

along street rights-of-way bordering the site when the proposed PRD impairs off
site safety or surface water drainage and there is a nexus between the required
improvements and the governmental purpose provided the amount of the
improvements are roughly proportional to the amount of the off-site impact
caused by the PRD.
M. Irrigation Ditches. Developers shall pipe irrigation ditches within the PRD or
along street rights-of-way adjacent to the PRD.

designed to accommodate a 25- year storm and a detention system with a
maximum allowable discharge rate of sixty gallons per minutes per acre (60
g.p.m./ac)
S. Existing Homes. No PRD shall include an existing single family dwelling. If a
single family dwelling exists on the property where a PRD is proposed, the
applicant shall plat separately a lot containing the home. The plat shall comply
with the requirements of the Rexburg Subdivision Ordinance.
SECTION IX. BONDS
A. Purpose. Prior to the recording of any documents concerning an approved PRD
and prior to the issuance of any building permit on ground covered by a PRD, the
applicant shall post a bond with the City sufficient in amount to cover the cost of
all public improvements required by ordinances, landscaping including sprinkling
system, asphalt, curb, gutter, sidewalk, fencing, recreational facilities, piping of
irrigation ditches, and any other item required as part of the approved site plan.
The bond shall be a guarantee that the proper installation of all required
improvements shall be completed within two (2) years of recordation of the
approved final plat and that the improvements shall remain free form defects for
six (6) months or until July 15 of the following year, whichever is longer. The
City shall not release this bond until the City accepts the improvements.
B. Type. The bond shall be an irrevocable letter of credit, escrow bond cash bond

of the required bond by estimating the cost of completing the required
improvements. The amount of the bond shall be at least one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the estimated costs of the required improvements.
13
D. The Developer shall not record the final plat until the developer of the PRD has
tendered the bond and entered into an agreement with the City in which the
developer agrees to install the improvements as required by this Article and agrees

warranty period).
E. An applicant may request an extension from the Public Works Director for the
completion of improvements of up to two (2) years. The Public Works Director
may grant an extension of one year if the applicant demonstrates good cause for
not completing the improvements and demonstrates the present ability to complete
the improvements.
If, for any reason, the bonds providing for the guarantee of improvements are
insufficient to properly complete the improvements, the developer shall be
personally liable to complete the improvements required by this Article.
G. The bonds required by this Section are for the sole benefit of the City. The bonds
are not for the individual benefit of any citizen or identifiable class of citizens,
including the owners or purchasers of lots or units within the PRD. The bonds are
not for the purpose of ensuring payment of contractors, subcontractors or
suppliers of labor or materials, and no contractors, subcontractors or suppliers of
labor or materials shall have a cause of action against the City or the bond for
providing labor or materials.

Tom O'Toole
Winston Dyer - Declared a conflict with this request and stepped away from the table. Winston
asked Ted Whyte to chair the meeting in his absence.
Tom O' Toole — Reviewed the property on the overhead screen. He explained the reason for
asking for a higher density zone. Tom indicated that the property would be expensive to
develop. Only part of the property will be developed as high density. The developers
have two proposals under review for this property. The property adjacent to the river is
being considered for townhomes in four or six unit buildings. Married housing could
allow 420 plus units on the entire property. The Barney Dairy road could be diverted to
go through this development. Tom indicated that the property will only develop with
rents on the higher end of the rent scale. The plan calls for married housing in the
proposed development.
Kurt Hibbert — Explained the City's intent to connect Barney Dairy Road with a road through
this development.
Discussion on the property owned by John Watson. John called the City Clerk before the
meeting to remind the Commissioners during this discussion that Walker Avenue on the
Southwest corner of this parcel was constructed to accommodate this property.
Those in favor of the project:
Ray Walker — 1270 Barney Dairy Road — Commented on the time frame for the property being
developed. It will have a green belt near the river. Ray is in favor of the zone change.
Those neutral to the proposal: None given
Those against the proposal: None given
