Within thirty (30) days of the information presentation, the Commission shall provide to the owner/developer a report of comments and concerns regarding the preliminary PUD plan.

(Ord. 1992-30. Passed 8-4-92.)
(a) The owner/developer shall consider the suggestions made by the Planning Commission. After making changes as he/she feels appropriate, the owner/developer shall formally submit the preliminary PUD plan (eight copies) and the zone change request to the Zoning Inspector at least fifteen (15) working days prior to the next meeting. The preliminary PUD plan shall be placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting of the Commission. The Zoning Inspector shall develop the appropriate legislation for the first reading of the zone change request ordinance for the next regular council meeting. The zone change request shall include all of the information normally required under Section 1131.03
(b) The formal submission shall be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) plus ten dollars ($10.00) per dwelling unit in the entire PUD to cover administrative costs and plan review costs by the City Engineer.
(Ord. 1992-30. Passed 8-4-92.)
The Planning Commission shall consider the following factors in making its recommendation to Council:
(a) That the R-PUD District is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
(b) That each individual stage of development shall not exceed the maximum density proposed for the planned unit development landholding as a whole.
(c) That the use proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which could not be achieved under other zoning districts.
(d) That the areas proposed shall be used only for residential purposes and the usual accessory uses such as garages, storage space, parks, recreation sites, open spaces and community purposes, including churches and schools.
(e) That the internal private streets that are proposed shall properly interconnect with the surrounding existing major and minor streets as designated in the major thoroughfare plan.
(f) That the minimum common open space area has been designated and shall be duly transferred to a legal entity as herein provided.
(g) That the preliminary PUD plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning Ordinance, to promote public health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the Municipality.
(Ord. 1992-30. Passed 8-4-92.)
(h) Whether or not curbing is appropriate.
Within thirty days from the date of Council referral, the Secretary of the Planning Commission shall provide a written recommendation to Council regarding the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request. In this recommendation, the Commission may by motion:
(a) Recommend approval of the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request.
(b) Recommend approval with certain modifications, revisions or restrictions.
(c) Recommend disapproval of the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request.
(Ord. 1992-30. Passed 8-4-92.)
Within thirty days of the receipt of the Planning Commission recommendation, Council shall hold a public hearing on the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request. Notice of the hearing shall be published at least fifteen days prior to the hearing date. Hearing notice requirements shall follow the rules established in Section 4.13 of the Charter.
(Ord. 1992-30. Passed 8-4-92.)
Within thirty (30) days after the hearing date, Council shall take action regarding the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request. In considering the PUD proposal, Council shall evaluate those same factors considered by the Planning Commission in Section 1155.12.
If the Commission recommends approval of the PUD, approval by Council requires only three-fifths majority vote. If Council adds or deletes modifications or limitations and thus changes the preliminary plan approved by the Commission, passage requires a three-fifths majority vote of Council.
If the Commission recommends disapproval of the PUD, passage by Council requires a three-fifths majority.
Approval of the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request shall be limited to the general acceptability of the land uses proposed, the general arrangement of the development and the interrelationship of uses and the density level. The approval does not endorse precise locations of uses, exact parcel configuration or engineering feasibility. Approval of the preliminary PUD plan and zone change request shall constitute the creation of a separate R-PUD District. The R-PUD District is applicable only to the specific approved preliminary PUD plan. Any new preliminary PUD plan or any major changes to the approved plan shall require reconsideration by the Commission and by Council.
At the time of adopting any ordinance establishing an R-PUD District, Council shall make appropriate arrangements with the owner/developer which will ensure the accomplishment of the public improvements and reservation of the common open space as shown on the approved preliminary PUD plan.
(Ord. 1992-30. Passed 8-4-92.)
