4.15 Planned Unit Development (PUD
SECTION 1:
A. Purpose
It is the purpose of this section to allow residential planned unit developments in several
0
residential zones to allow a more flexible approach to landdevelaprnentthan that which
is normally accomplished through the subdivision and zoning ordinances of the city. The
planned unit development approach is intended to Provide more desirableenvironments
by encouraging
uraging creative site planning and building designs; to make possible greater
diversification between buildings and open spaces;
and to conserve land a datu
resources and minimize development costs. Thee planned unit development approach
.0 intended q)however is not to allow uses on land within a unit other
than uses permitted within the zone that is applicable to the land, unless otherwise stated
in this ordinance,
Bo Planning CQmmission(I and City Council Authority
The planning commission shall make a recomm nd "ation to the City Council to either
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. 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 -
C's Pre -Application Conference
Prior to filing an application for a planned unit deVelopment, applicant cant shall review
the preliminary master plan with the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council
or designated representati t ve at a pre -application conference. The purpose of the pre -
application conference is to inform the city of the nature of a likely PUD application at an
early date and to provide the potential applicant with information on what will be needed
to make an application complete.

D 4p 'Uses Permitted
A11 uses that are permitted within the underlying zoning, also, up to ten percent (10%) of
grass land area may be directed to other commercial, industrial, public and quasi -public
uses that are not allowed within the land use district; provided, that there is a favorable
finding by the Commission:
a. That the uses are appropriate with the residential uses;
b. That the uses are intended to serve principally the residents of the PUD,
c. That the uses are planned as an "integral part of the PUD ;
d. That the
uses be located and so
designed as
to provide direct access to a collector
or an arterial
street without creating
congestion
or traffic hazards- and
e. That a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the residential development
prior to the development of the related commercial or industr*al uses.
EM, Minimum Area
A PUD for the fallowing principal uses shall contain an area not fess than:
a. Three (3} acres for residential development.
occurs
b. Five (5) acres for residential use with subordinate commercial or industrial uses.
c. Ten (10) acres for commercial use.
d. Ten (10) acres for industrial use.
F. Variations to Underlying Zone Permitted
a. Upon combining the PUD
the development standards of
0
variations are specifically adopted as part of the approved project plan or approved
zone wish an appropriate existing zone, variations from
said underlying zone may be permitted.
provided the
supporting documents. Variations, however, shall not include changesin the
P,�t,,;ftP� 71CP.� �llnwed the zone with. which the PUD zone has been combined,
Y\rlALiab�rv�h bv_---except to the extent set forth herein.
i. Base Den The maximum number of residential units allowed per
developable acre in a PUD which mets only the minimum development
requirements of this Chapter shall be calculated using the Lot Area Per Dwelling
Requirement of the underlying zone:

Page 2 of 19
b, Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, in no event shall the number of
residential units exceed the number of units per developable acre 'in the, PUD that
could be achieved, without a density bonus, by conventional development of the
property ire the zone with which the FUD �s proposed to be applied. Such maxim -Lim
number of residential units shall be reasonabi� deterrnined by the Planning
Commission using development criteria and ordinance requirements applicable to the
zone which the FUD is p�opos�d tQ be comb��ed with.
c. Development proposal must adhere to currently adopted sheet and right -of way
cross section standards.
G. Density Determination
Density in PSD shall be determined by using the "developable land" of the entire
proposed development.Developable Viand is land under j"'00//o- nope and tha.i is capable of
being improved with landscaping, recreational facilities, buildings, or parking. Land
devoted to sheet usage in PUD subdivisions shall not be considered developable acreage
and mush be subtracted out of the total acreage used to detennine density, as well as arias
designated for the use of churches, schools, and blic buildings.
H. Minimum Performance Standards
A planned unit development established under the provisions of this ordnance shall
conform to the standards and requirements of this section.
a. General Standards.
i.
sin2le Ownershin or Control. The area proposed for a planned. unit development
shah be in one (1) ownership or contras during development to provide for full
supervision and control of said development, and to insure conformance with
these provis'o"sand all conditions imposed upon the preliminary and final
development plans. Mere development agreements between individual shad not
satisfy this requirement. Individual ownership, partnerships, corpoatxans, and
other legally recognized entities are acceptable.
ii.
SCODe of Plan. A plan for the development of a planned unit development shall

plant materials in similar water usage demand zones t
o insure proper irrigation
coverage and reduce wasteful irrigation coverage and reduce wasteful watering.
Native plants are preferred.
J. Density Bonuses
Density in excess of the base density for the underlying zone maybe considered for
projects which comply with the bonus density design requirements. The amount of
density bonus shall be determined by the type of Bonus Density Design Requirements
Incorporated in the development proposal. In no case shall the density bonus emceed the
maximum density Viper net developable acre NDA) allowed for the zone in which the
development occurs according to the foliowing chart:
K. Density Bonus Calculation
For applicants requesting a density greater than the base density., the Planning
Commission and City Council shaX1 d�term�ne whether the applicant has complied with
the necessary design components as provided in this Chapter and shah assign density
Page 5 of 19
points, as applicable. 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 acxe 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 shah not
exceed tbemaxi*mum density allowed in the gone. (Example: The project is in an LDR2
zone and the design is awarded 75 bonus paints, 75 x .4121 T 0.91 additional units per
acre. 0.91 + 3.63 (base density) = 4.54 maximum unity per acre for the development.)
The density caefFicient for each underlying zone and the Total amount of points needed
dor the maximum density are listed below:

LCA R3 01.2-9
L. Density Bonus Design Requirements
if greater density is requested above the base density, a FUD development shall comply
with one or more of the following bonus density design requirements depending upon the
desired density increase. The Planning Commission shall review and determine if the,
proposed design complies with the intent of the design requirement before the points are
granted. the density bonus points for each individual design component ars in
parentheses at the end of each requirement. In order to receive a density bonus.. the
development shall have received bonus density points from at least one design
component in each of the following categories: energy efficiency, building design, design
theme, pa-.r:king areas, landscaping, and open green space. A design component cannot be

reasons in writing. The planning commission's consideration of the preliminary master
plan shall be subject to the following:
IF
a. The comssi
mion shall recommend and the Council shall approve, or apparove with
conditions, the plan �f it finds that the plan,, either as submitted or with condition,
meets all of the following criteria. The commission shad recommend and the Council
shall disapprove the plan if it finds that the plan, either as submitted or with
conditions, does not meet any one or more of the following criteria.
i. The proposed planned unit development is in compliance with the City's
can�pr�hensive plan and will be su�stan�t�all� compatible with existing
development in the su�ounding area; and undeveloped Iand in the surrounding
area can be developed in a manner substantially compatible with the proposed
planned unit development.
The number of years proposed for campletian of the development or each phaseof the development 7s reasonable, tak ing into consideration the possibility of
changing lamed use patterns in or requirements of the city over time, In order to
ensure that the development will be compatible with land use patterns in and
requirements of the city at the time of approval of a final master plan, the
planning commission shall recommend and the Council shall establish an
Page 13 of 19
expiration date for the preliminary master plan approval, not sooner than two
years after approval of the preliminary master plan; may xrnpose conditions
requiring that a final master pian or phases thereof be submitted for commission
review within a specified period or periods of time, not sooner than one year after
approval of the preliminary master plan; or may impose conditions rCqL11r111g
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 years
after approval of the preliminary master plan,, and at such periodic intervals of not
less than five years thereafter as the commission and Council deems appropriate
to ensure conformity.
iii. Construction of the development can be accomplished in a manner that does not
crate 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
commission and council may impose conditions including but not limited to.
a. Requirements that removal of existing landscaping during construction be
limited to ares of the planned unit development to be constructed shortly
following removal and to portions of those areas on which construction will
occur;
b. Prohibitions of open binning on the site during construction;
c. Prohibitions of open burning on the site during construction;
d. Restrictions on construction noise; and
e. Restrictions on construction traffic.
iv. The development will not create unreasonable negative impacts on the area
surrounding the development or in the city. In oxder to assure the avoidance or
mitigation of negative impacts, the planning commission may require the filing of
restrictions in the county deed records including but not limited to restrictions:
