(a) Applicability. Planned Unit Residential Developments (PURD) shall be permitted in the R-1 District
(b) Purpose. The purpose of PURD is to encourage and accommodate creative and imaginative developments that provide alternative housing types and the preservation of open space in a unified project. In compliance with the following regulations, it is intended that PURDs will utilize innovations in the technology of land development that are in the best interests of the City. These regulations are designed to achieve, among others, the following objectives:
(1) To promote economical and efficient use of land and reduce infrastructure costs through unified development.
(2) To permit the flexible spacing of lots and buildings in order to encourage the separation of pedestrian and vehicular circulation, the provision of readily accessible open space and recreation areas and the creation of functional and interesting residential areas.
(3) To minimize the impact of new development by reducing curb cuts onto major thoroughfares and collector streets.
(4) To ensure that planned unit residential developments are compatible with surrounding single-family neighborhoods and comply with these objectives by requiring the submission of development plans and establishing a review process to ensure that all developments are consistent with these regulations. (Ord. 62-2023. Passed 1-16-24.)
In addition to the general review procedures for development plans, the Planning Commission shall review a proposed PURD to ensure that:
(a) Buildings and uses within the proposed development are located and designed so as to reduce any adverse influences on and to protect the residential character of areas adjacent to the development;
(b) Adequate buffer zones with landscaping are provided between the proposed development and adjacent residential areas;
(c) The bulk and height of buildings within the proposed development are compatible with the surrounding development;
(d) Roadway systems, service areas, parking areas, entrances, exits, and pedestrian walkways within the development are designed to have access to public streets in a manner that minimizes traffic hazards or congestion;
(e) The layout of parking areas, service areas, entrances, exits, signs, lighting, noise sources or other potentially adverse influences are designed and located to protect the residential character of areas adjacent to the development.
(Ord. 62-2023. Passed 1-16-24.)
The area proposed to be developed as a PURD shall be in one ownership, or if in several ownerships, the application shall be filed jointly by all owners of the properties included in the proposed PURD boundaries. The gross area of a tract of land in a PURD shall not be less than three (3) acres. (Ord. 62-2023. Passed 1-16-24.)
