the Rexburg Development Code is hereby amended as follow s:
A M E N D M E N T
10.09.010 Planned Unit D evelopments
Purpose And Objectives
The purpose of this section is to allow Planned Unit D evelopments in several residential zones
to allow a more flexible approach to land developments than that w hich 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 w ith several compatible land uses, to make possible
greater diversification betw een buildings and open spaces, to conserve land and natural
resources, and minimize development cost. A Planned U nit D evelopment follow s the
Subdivision process and requirements, w ith the exception of additional application submittals
and data requirements and the requirement of a public hearing. A Planned Unit D evelopment,
bonus points for greater density may be achieved by identifying building materials, building
design and/or site agreements.
Applicability
A.Planned Unit D evelopments (PU D )s are only allow ed in Low -Density and Medium-
D ensity Residential Zones.
B.A pply Zoning for Permitted U ses. The planned unit development approach is not
intended to allow uses on land w ithin a Planned Unit D evelopment other than uses
permitted w ithin the zone that is applicable to the land, unless otherw ise stated in this
ordinance, other than zero lot line clustering.
1.Exception: U p to ten (10%) percent of gross land area may be directed to
other commercial, industrial, public and quasi-public uses that are not allow ed
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.A ppropriate with residential uses;
b.Intended to serve principally the residents of the PUD ;
c.A n integral part of the PU D;
d.D irect A ccess 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 U nderlying Zone. U pon combining the PU D zone w ith 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,
including zero lot line clustering.
Standards
A.Single Ow nership and C ontrol. U nless agreed upon by the Planning & Zoning

concentrated native stands of large shrubs or trees.
C.Infrastructure R equirements.
1.Utilities. A ll utilities shall be placed underground, including telephone,
electrical, and television cables.

are architecturally compatible in style and materials w ith the character
of the development.
b.L ocation. Bins shall be located so they are not visible from outside
circulation routes, and so they do not restrict vehicular movement or
parking.
4.Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be designed such that the light source will be
sufficiently obscured to prevent excessive glare into any residential area.
D.C ommon Open Space. A minimum of ten (10%) percent of the gross land area
developed in any residential PU D project shall be reserved for common open space
and recreational facilities for the residents or users of the area being developed.
1.Ow nership. The required amount of common open space land reserved under
a PUD shall either be held in corporate ownership by the ow ners of the

B.C hanges. The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend, and the Council
may, on receipt of an application applying to the as yet unbuilt portions of the
development, approve a modification to an approved Planned Unit D evelopment
provided that the modifications will be consistent with the then-existing, city, zoning-
ordinance requirements and conditions.
1.Major C hanges. Except as provided in this Section, proposals to make major
changes in the Planned Unit D evelopment after it has been approved shall be
considered the same as a new PU D application and shall be permitted only in
accordance w ith all of the procedures set out in this section.
2.Minor C hanges. Proposals to make minor changes in the Planned U nit
Development after it has been approved may be approved by the Planning and
Zoning A dministrator or designee.
a.Minor D efinition. 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 A rea
A.A PU D for the follow ing principal uses shall contain an area not less than:
1.One (1) acre for residential development.
2.One (1) acre for residential use w ith subordinate commercial or industrial uses.
3.Ten (10) acres for commercial use.
4.Ten (10) acres for industrial use.
Lot D ensity
A.D etermine Developable Land. D ensity in a PU D 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 PU D
subdivisions shall not be considered developable acreage and must be
subtracted out of the total acreage used to determine density, as w ell as areas
designated for the use of churches, schools, and public buildings.
B.D etermine Base D ensity. The maximum number of residential units allowed per
developable acre in a PU D, which meets only the minimum development requirements
of this Chapter, shall be calculated using the Lot Area Per D w elling Requirement of
the underlying zone:
1.Zone Lot A rea per Dw elling
LD R 1 1 Unit per 10,890 square feet
LD R 2 1 Unit per 7,260000 square feet
LD R 3 1 Unit per 4,356000 square feet
MDR 1 1 Unit per 2,723 square feet
MDR 2 1 Unit per 2,178 square feet
C.D ensity 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 w ith the bonus density design requirements.
A.The amount of density bonuses shall be determined by the type of Bonus D ensity
D esign Requirements incorporated in the development proposal.
B.In no case shall the density bonus exceed the maximum density (per net developable
acre ND A) allowed for the zone in which the development occurs according to the
following chart:
Zone Base D ensity Maximum D ensity
LD R1 4 U nits/N D A 5 U nits/N DA
LD R2 6 U nits/N D A 8 U nits/N DA
LD R3 10 Units/N D A 13/ND A
MD R1 16 Units/N D A 22 Units/N D A
MD R2 20 Units/N D A 26 Units/N D A
C.D ensity Bonus C alculation. For applicants requesting a density greater than the base
density, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall determine
w hether 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 allow ed above the base density for the PU D 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 w hen added to
the base density will determine the total density per acre for the project;
provided the number shall not exceed the maximum density allow ed in the
zone.
a.(Example: The project is in an LDR1 zone and the design is aw arded
75 bonus points. 75 x 0.01 = 0.75 additional units per acre. 0.75
4(base density) = 4.75 maximum units per acre for the development.)
b.The density coefficient for each underlying zone and the total amount
of points needed for the maximum density are listed below:
Zone D ensity C oefficient Maximum D ensity Points
LDR1 0.01 100
LDR2 0.02 100
LDR3 0.03 100
MD R1 0.06 100
MD R2 0.06 100
D.D ensity Bonus D esign R equirements. If greater density is requested above the base
density, a PUD development shall comply with one or more of the follow ing bonus
density design requirements depending upon the desired density increase.
1.Approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review and determine
if the proposed design complies w ith the intent of the design requirement
before the points are granted. The density bonus points for each individual
design component are in parentheses at the end of each requirement.
2.Required Categories. In order to receive a density bonus, the development
shall have received bonus density points from at least one (1) design
component in each of the following categories: energy efficiency, building
design, design theme, parking areas, landscaping, and open green space.
