G. IPUD Infill Planned Unit Development District.
1. General.
a. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the IPUD zoning district is to implement the High Density Residential (HDR) and Special High Density Residential (SHDR) future land use map (FLUM) classifications of the Comprehensive Plan. This district is intended for infill purposes, promoting new development and redevelopment in areas located east of Interstate 95 at densities no greater than twenty (20) dwelling units per acre. This district is also intended to promote water access and recreational opportunities with accommodations of uses, including marine-oriented and water dependent uses in both mixed use developments and limited single-use projects. The IPUD district includes design standards that exceed the standards of the basic development standards in terms of site design, building architecture and construction materials, amenities and landscape design. The extent of variance or exception to basic design standards, including but not limited to requirements for parking spaces, parking lot and circulation design, and setbacks, will be dependent on how well the proposed project otherwise exceeds the other applicable standards.
The IPUD shall minimize adverse impacts on surrounding property. The city is not obligated to automatically approve the level of development intensity requested for the IPUD. Instead, it is expected to approve only such level of intensity that is appropriate for a particular location in terms of land use compatibilities. The city may require, as a condition of approval, any limitation, condition, or design factor that will provide a reasonable transition to adjacent development.
In order to be approved, an IPUD project must be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent residential neighborhoods. Factors to consider in determining compatibility may include, but not necessarily be limited to, proposed use, massing, and layout. Further, it must be an enhancement to the local area and the city in general. Projects that fail to do so will be denied.
Each IPUD project is independent and will be evaluated solely on its own merits. The inclusion of certain features in a previously approved IPUD project will not automatically be entertained as a valid argument for the inclusion of that same feature in any other IPUD project if the city determines to reject those features.
b. Prerequisite Location Standards. The IPUD district creates an opportunity to promote sustainability with respect to land use, energy conservation and resource management. Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have been impacted by environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as to zoning land to IPUD, the Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified as "Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly contained within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, local streets, and rights-of-way.
2. Use(s) Allowed. See Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.C. for specific regulations pertaining to the IPUD district and Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.D. ("Use Matrix Table 3-28") for a list of allowable uses.
3. Building and Site Regulations (Table 3-12). The following building/site regulations apply to the entire IPUD development.
BUILDING/SITE REGULATIONS IPUD District |
BUILDING/SITE REGULATIONS IPUD District | |

Maximum lot coverage: | 50% |
Minimum usable open space (per dwelling unit): | 200 square feet |
Maximum structure height: | 45 feet3 |
1 Individual lots within an IPUD development contain flexible standards relative to minimum required lot frontage and lot area for each unit. Pursuant to Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.D., a marina use shall require a minimum lot frontage of one hundred fifty (150) feet and a minimum average width of two hundred (200) feet.
2 The minimum required perimeter building setbacks of an IPUD are flexible except where adjacent to single-family residential zoning. Where adjacent to single-family residential zoning, the required perimeter building setbacks of the IPUD shall resemble the setbacks of the adjacent development based upon the orientation of structures with said development. Also, perimeter buildings shall have an increased setback of one (1) additional foot for every foot of building height in excess of thirty (30) feet. If vegetation, screening, or other barriers and/or creative design on the perimeter of an IPUD achieve compatibility with adjacent uses, the city may grant some relief from the aforementioned requirement. A structure shall be considered to be on the perimeter if there is no intervening building between it and the property line. Project design along abutting roadway(s), including setbacks, shall be based on existing development patterns or applicable recommendation from the respective development plan.
3 A lesser building height may be required for compatibility with adjacent development. See Note #2 above for additional setback requirements relative to building height.
4. Review and Approval Process.
a. All development and redevelopment within the IPUD district shall be governed by a master plan with approval granted by the City Commission in accordance with Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.D.6.
b. Site plan approval shall be required in accordance with Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.F. prior to application for building permit.
5. Parking. Required off-street parking is regulated in accordance with Chapter 4, Article V, Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements.
6. Modifications. Any modification proposed within the IPUD shall be in conformance with Master Plan modifications pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.D.6.
7. Miscellaneous.
a. See Chapter 4, Article II, Section 4.B.5 for additional standards pertaining to the required landscaping along rights-of-way.
b. See Chapter 4, Article III, Section 4. for community design standards regarding required site design in instances where the subject IPUD project is adjacent to single-family residential zoning districts.
c. See Chapter 4, Article VIII, Section 3.C.4.b.(2) for additional standards pertaining to the minimum width of rights-of-way and vehicular circulation.
d. If an IPUD is located with frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway, conditions of approval shall include a deed restriction requiring that any marina or dockage built will not exceed in width the boundaries of the project's actual frontage on the water, regardless of what any other governing or permitting entity may allow or permit.
e. Exterior lighting of the exterior, parking areas and watercraft docking facilities of the planned development shall be of the lowest height, intensity, and energy use adequate for its purpose, and shall not create conditions of glare that extend onto abutting properties.
f. The physical attributes of the site shall be respected with particular concern for preservation of natural features, tree growth, and open space.
g. Special emphasis shall be placed on trash collection points.
h. Trash containers or dumpsters must be screened and designed such that they are not visible from or disruptive to adjacent properties, streets, and rights-of-way while still being conveniently accessible to their users and collectors.
H. PUD Planned Unit Development District.
1. General.
a. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the PUD zoning district is to implement any of the residential future land use map (FLUM) classifications of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of this planned district is to promote efficient land use, improved amenities, appropriate and harmonious physical development, creative design, improved living environment, orderly development in the city, and the protection of adjacent city development. The district is suitable for development, redevelopment and conservation of land, water and other resources of the city.
Regulations for planned unit developments are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulations and other applicable city regulations to the same degree that they are intended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis. In view of the substantial public advantages of planned unit development, it is the intent of PUD regulations to promote and encourage development in this form where tracts suitable in size, location, and character for the uses and structures proposed are to be planned and developed as unified and coordinated units. Densities of such developments shall correspond with the respective FLUM classification.
b. Prerequisite Location Standards. The PUD district creates an opportunity to promote sustainability with respect to land use, energy conservation and resource management. Rezoning to the PUD district is encouraged for proposed development or redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have sustained or are complicated by environmental contamination.
In reaching recommendations and decisions as to zoning land to PUD, the advisory board(s) and City Commission shall apply the following location standards, in addition to the standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Major Transportation Facility. A PUD shall have a direct access to a major roadway or a transportation facility so as not to create or generate traffic along streets in residential areas or districts outside it.
(2) Public Facilities and Services. A PUD shall be located in relation to sanitary sewers, water lines, storm and surface drainage systems, and other utilities systems and installations so that neither extension nor enlargement of such systems will be required in manner, form, character, location, degree, scale or timing resulting in higher net public cost or earlier incursion of public cost than would development in forms permitted under existing zoning in the area.
Such PUD's shall be so located with respect to necessary public facilities (e.g., schools, parks, playgrounds) as to have access to those facilities in the same degree as under existing zoning, and shall be so located, designed and scaled so that access for public services is equivalent to, and net cost for the services under existing zoning.
(3) Topography. The site shall be suitable for development in the manner proposed without hazards to persons or property, on or off the tract, from probability of flooding, erosion, or other dangers, annoyances, or inconveniences. Condition of the soil, groundwater level, drainage, and topography shall all be appropriate to both kind and pattern of use intended.
(4) Access. Every dwelling unit, or other use permitted in the PUD, shall have access to a public street directly or via an approved private road, pedestrian way, court, or other area dedicated to public or private use, or common element guaranteeing access. Permitted uses shall not be required to front on a dedicated public road.
(5) Utilities. Direct residential and/or consumer service should be by underground installation to the maximum extent practicable; however, primary service to a general geographic area may be served with overhead installation. Appurtenances to these systems which require above ground installation shall be effectively screened, and, thereby, may be exempted from this requirement. Primary facilities providing service to the site of the PUD may be exempted.
2. Use(s) Allowed. See "Use Matrix Table 3-28" in Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.D. The PUD district allows principal and accessory uses and structures substantially related to the character of the development itself and the surrounding area of which it is a part.

2 The minimum required perimeter building setbacks of a PUD are flexible except where adjacent to single-family residential zoning. Where adjacent to single-family residential zoning, the required perimeter building setbacks of the PUD shall resemble the setbacks of the adjacent development based upon the orientation of structures with said development. Also, perimeter buildings shall have an increased setback of one (1) additional foot for every foot of building height in excess of thirty (30) feet. Project design along abutting roadway(s), including setbacks, shall be based on existing development patterns or applicable recommendation from the respective development plan.
4. Review and Approval Process.
a. All development and redevelopment within the PUD district shall be governed by a master plan with approval granted by the City Commission in accordance with Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.D.6.
b. Site plan approval shall be required in accordance with Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.F. prior to application for building permit.
5. Parking. Required off-street parking is regulated in accordance with Chapter 4, Article V, Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements.
6. Modifications. Any modification proposed within the PUD shall be in conformance with Master Plan modifications pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.D.6.

I. MHPD Mobile Home Planned Development District.
1. General.
a. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the MHPD zoning district is to implement the low density residential (LDR) future land use map (FLUM) classifications of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of this planned district is to provide efficient and imaginative design approaches to community planning, and to accommodate the housing needs of those residents who prefer mobile home living and/or desire a more affordable alternative to conventional dwellings.
The MHPD district creates an opportunity to promote sustainability with respect to land use, energy conservation and resource management. Rezoning to the MHPD district is encouraged for proposed development or redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas and that are away from high hazard areas.
b. Existing Developments. For those mobile home parks in existence prior to the adoption of these Regulations, or annexed to the city subsequent to the adoption of these Regulations, the site regulations under which the park was developed shall continue in force. General maintenance and minor modifications to existing improvements shall be allowed, if such maintenance and improvements do not worsen the extent of nonconformity. Should the park be damaged in excess of seventy-five percent (75%), redevelopment shall require submittal of a site plan for review and processing as a major site plan modification, to indicate how redevelopment will provide maximum compliance with development regulations, with particular emphasis on perimeter setbacks and buffering, and internal roadway design and access for service and emergency vehicles.
2. Use(s) Allowed. See "Use Matrix Table 3-28" in Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.D.
