recommendation to the City Council to either approve, approve with conditions, or
disapprove of the Preliminary Master Plan, Planned Unit Development in any residential
or commercial zone, or any combination of them, subject to the provisions of this section.
(See section 1.3.)
a. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall state its decision and its reasons in
writing.
a. Mailing Notice for P.U.D. Adjacent Property Owners. Notice by mail shall be
provided to property owners or purchasers of record of land Names and
addresses of legal owners of properties within five hundred (500’) feet of the
tentative planned unit development boundaries, excluding streets. (The City is
able to provide this information if needed.)
b. Conditions. The Planning and Zoning Commission, in recommending, and the
Council in approving a preliminary Master Plan Planned Unit Development, may
attach conditions it finds are necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of
this title.
2. Criteria for Approval. The Commission shall recommend the plan to the City Council if
it finds that the plan meets all of the following criteria.
a. Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Planned Unit Development is in compliance
complies with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and will be substantially compatible
with existing development in the surrounding area.
b. Adjacent Land. The undeveloped land in the surrounding area can be
developed in a manner substantially compatible with the proposed Planned Unit
Development.
c. Densities. The proposed number of residential units does not exceed the
maximum permitted number of residential units.
1. Where a PUD is located over more than one zone, the plan is allowed to
have a weighted balance of the densities for each zone (including density
bonuses).
d. Buffers. Like zoning buffers should be provided at borders of other properties
not included in the PUD.
1. Example: if a PUD was created that consisted of a LDR3 zone and a
MDR2 zone, then six-plex housing units should not be placed directly
adjacent to the adjoining LDR3 zone. A buffer of twin homes (allowed in
LDR3) or open space should be used as a buffer. Rear yards of six-plex
units might be considered as sufficient buffering if fenced and
landscaped with trees.
e. Time Schedule. The number of years proposed for completion of the
development or each phase of the development is reasonable, taking into
consideration the possibility of changing land use patterns in or requirements of
the city over time.
f. Expiration Date. In order to ensure that the development will be compatible
with land use patterns and requirements of the city at the time of approval of a
final master plan platting, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall
recommend and the Council shall establish an expiration date for:
1. Phases. The Commission may impose conditions requiring that a final
master plan or phases thereof be submitted for commission review within
a specified period or periods of time, not sooner later than one year after
approval of the preliminary Master plan Planned Unit Development.
2. Re-evaluation of Unbuilt Portions. The Commission may impose
conditions requiring Commission and Council re-evaluation of as yet

unbuilt portions of the development, for conformity with then-existing
city zoning ordinance requirements in relation to then-existing
conditions, not sooner than five (5) years after approval of the
preliminary Master Plan Planned Unit Development, and at such periodic
intervals of not less than five (5) years thereafter as the Commission and
Council deem appropriate to ensure conformity.
g. Negative Impacts. Construction of the development can be accomplished in a
manner that does not create unreasonable negative impacts on the area
surrounding the development or in the city. In order to assure the avoidance or
mitigation of negative construction impacts on the area surrounding the
development or in the city, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council
may impose conditions including but not limited to:
1. Requirements that removal of existing landscaping during construction
be limited to areas of the Planned Unit Development to be constructed
shortly following removal and to portions of those areas on which
construction will occur;
2. Prohibitions of open burning on the site during construction;
3. Restrictions on construction noise; and
4. Restrictions on construction traffic.
5. In order to assure the avoidance or mitigation of negative impacts, the
Planning and Zoning Commission may require the filing of restrictions in
the county deed records including but not limited to restrictions:
a) Prohibiting the removal of specified landscaping; and
b) Prohibiting open burning during construction.
h. Public Utilities. Street, water, sewer, drainage and drainage pre-treatment,
storm water detention, and other similar facilities in the area surrounding the
development and in the city are or will be adequate to provide for the health,
safety and welfare for the development's population densities and the type of
development proposed, taking into consideration existing and projected future
demands on those facilities.
i. Landscaping. At least twenty (20%) percent of the gross area is dedicated to
landscaping.
1. For purposes of computing area dedicated to landscaping, dedicated open
space and protected resource areas may be treated as area dedicated to
landscaping, but parking areas may not.
3. City Council. The City Council shall have the authority to approve, approve with
conditions, or disapprove Planned Unit Developments in any residential or commercial
zone, or any combination of them, subject to the provisions of this section.

Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this section is to allow Planned Unit Developments in several residential zones to
allow a more flexible approach to land developments than that which is normally accomplished
through the subdivision and zoning ordinances of the city. The planned unit development approach
is intended to provide more desirable environments by encouraging creative site planning and
building designs with several compatible land uses, to make possible greater diversification
between buildings and open spaces, to conserve land and natural resources, and minimize
development cost.

A Planned Unit Development follows the Subdivision process and requirements, with the
exception of additional application submittals and data requirements and the requirement of a
public hearing. In a Planned Unit Development, bonus points for greater density may be achieved
by identifying building materials, building design and/or site agreements.
Applicability
A. Planned Unit Developments (PUD)s are only allowed in Low-Density and Medium-Density
Residential Zones.
B. Apply Zoning for Permitted Uses. The planned unit development approach is not intended to
allow uses on land within a Planned Unit Development other than uses permitted within the
zone that is applicable to the land, unless otherwise stated in this ordinance. other than zero lot
line clustering.
1. Exception: Up to ten (10%) percent of gross land area may be directed to other
commercial, industrial, public and quasi-public uses that are not allowed within the
land use district; and a minimum of fifty (50%) percent of the residential development
occurs prior to the development of the related commercial or industrial uses, provided
that there is a favorable finding by the Commission the uses are:
a. Appropriate with the residential uses;
b. Intended to serve principally the residents of the PUD;
c. An integral part of the PUD;
d. Direct Access Roads. Located and so designed as to provide direct access to
a collector or an arterial street without creating congestion or traffic hazards;
C. Variations to Underlying Zone. Upon combining the PUD zone with an appropriate existing
zone, variations from the development standards of said underlying zone may be permitted,
provided the variations are specifically adopted as part of the approved project plan or approved
supporting documents and do not contradict this subsection 4.10.020, including zero lot line
clustering.
Standards
A. Planning and Building Design. The planned unit development approach shall provide more
desirable environments through creative site planning and building design, to create greater
diversification between buildings and open spaces, conserve land and natural resources and
minimize development costs.
A. Single Ownership or Control. Unless agreed upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission,
the area proposed for a Planned Unit Development shall be in one (1) ownership or control
during development to provide for full supervision and control of said development, and to
insure conformance with these provisions and all conditions imposed upon the preliminary and
final development plans.
B. Scope of Plan. A plan for the development of a Planned Unit Development shall cover the
entire area proposed for development. If the project is to be done in phases, no remnant parcels
shall be created.
1. Large Parcel with Multiple Landowners. If large parcels of land are sold to multiple
parties, the land needs to be Master Planned.
2. Subdivision. If a proposed subdivision is part of a larger area intended for development, a
Development Master of Plan of the entire area is required.
1. Open Space. Areas not proposed for development shall be designated as “open space” and
shall conform to minimum landscaping requirements of this chapter. (See D.)
a) Clustering. Property developed under the PUD approach should be designed to
abut common open space or similar areas.

to the Phasing Statement., if phasing is permitted.
The submittal requirements, procedures and approval requirements for the preliminary
subdivision plat shall be as set out in the City of Rexburg subdivision code. (See chapter 10.)
Extensions and Changes
A. Submittal Extension or Modification Procedures & Submittals. Extensions and major
modifications of an approved preliminary master plan Planned Unit Development shall be
subject to all of the procedures set out in the subsections of this chapter, including but not
limited to the requirement of a hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission, and
consideration by the City Council, except that the application materials required to be
submitted shall be only such materials supplementing the original application as are needed
to demonstrate that an extension or modification will meet the criterion established by this
subsection. (See 10.03.080 for extensions and expiration.)
B. Changes Modification of Approved Preliminary Master Plan. The Planning and Zoning
Commission may recommend and the Council may approve a modification to an approved
Planned Unit Development, on receipt of an application applying to the yet unbuilt portions
of the development and provided the modifications will be consistent with the then-existing
city zoning ordinance requirements, in relation to then-existing and conditions.
1. Major Changes. Except as provided in this Section, proposals to make major changes
in the final master plan Planned Unit Development after it has been approved shall be
considered the same as a new PUD application and shall be permitted only in
accordance with all of the procedures set out in this section.
2. Minor Changes. Proposals to make minor changes in the final master plan Planned
Unit Development after it has been approved may be approved by the Planning and
Zoning Administrator or designee.
a. Minor Definition. Minor changes consist only of changes that will not have
public visibility and that do not increase densities, do not change boundaries, do
not change any uses, and do not change the location or amount of land devoted to
specific land uses.
Minimum Area
A. A PUD for the following principal uses shall contain an area not less than:
1. One (1) acre for residential development.
2. One (1) acre for residential use with subordinate commercial or industrial uses.
3. Ten (10) acres for commercial use.
4. Ten (10) acres for industrial use.
Lot Density
A. Determine Developable Land. Density in a PUD shall be determined by using the
“developable land” of the entire proposed development.
1. Developable land is land under 30% slope and land capable of being improved with
landscaping, recreational facilities, buildings, or parking.
2. Subtract Land. Land devoted to Rexburg dedicated street usage in PUD subdivisions shall
not be considered developable acreage and must be subtracted out of the total acreage used
to determine density, as well as areas designated for the use of churches, schools, and public
buildings.

B. Determine Base Density. The maximum number of residential units allowed per developable
acre in a PUD which meets only the minimum development requirements of this Chapter shall
be calculated using the Lot Area Per Dwelling Requirement of the underlying zone:
Zone Lot Area per Dwelling
LDR1 1 Unit per 12,000 square feet
LDR2 1 Unit per 5,000 square feet
LDR3 1 Unit per 4,000 square feet
MDR1 1 Unit per 2,723 square feet
MDR2 1 Unit per 2,178 1,815square feet
C. Density Bonus Points. Increased densities may be considered based on design upgrades.
Density Bonuses
Density in excess of the base density for the underlying zone may be considered for projects, which
comply with the bonus density design requirements.
A. The amount of density bonuses shall be determined by the type of Bonus Density Design
Requirements incorporated in the development proposal.
B. In no case shall the density bonus exceed the maximum density (per net developable acre NDA)
allowed for the zone in which the development occurs according to the following chart:
C.
Zone Base Density Maximum Density
LDR1 3.63 Units/NDA 4.84 Units/NDA
LDR2 8.71 Units/NDA 10.89 Units/NDA
LDR3 10.89 Units/NDA 13.20 Units/NDA
MDR1 16 Units/NDA 22 Units/NDA
MDR2 20 Units/NDA 26 Units/NDA
D. Density Bonus Calculation. For applicants requesting a density greater than the base density, the
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall determine whether the applicant has
complied with the necessary design components as provided in this Section and shall assign
density points as applicable.
1. The additional units per acre allowed above the base density for the PUD shall be
determined by multiplying the total number of density bonus points by the density
coefficient of the underlying zone. This figure is the additional number of units per acre
allowed above the base density. This number when added to the base density will
determine the total density per acre for the project; provided that the number shall not
exceed the maximum density allowed in the zone.
a. (Example: The project is in an LDR1 zone and the design is awarded 75 bonus
points. 75 x .0121 = 0.91 additional units per acre. 0.91 + 3.63 (base density) =
4.54 maximum units per acre for the development.)
