A. Purpose: The Creative Community (CC) Zone is established to provide a greenfield planned unit development approval process as permitted under Idaho Code 67-6515, and to provide for a zone with a mix of land uses that range in intensity than are typically found separately in mutually exclusive, traditional zoning districts. This zone represents a departure from traditional zoning to the extent that it encourages a combination of land uses which may be compatible, but have traditionally been separated.
B. Intent: The intent of the Creative Community (CC) Zone is to further the policies of the Comprehensive Plan to a greater extent than would a traditional Euclidean zone to:
1. Promote the public health, safety, and welfare;
2. Create functionally integrated developments that allow for a more efficient and cost effective provision of public services;
3. Promote decreased suburban sprawl, under-developed sites, and agricultural land development on the ex-urban fringe;
4. Promote increased community interactions through careful site development which emphasizes pedestrian and bicycle modalities;
5. Encourage a variety of affordable housing types;
6. Establish reasonable design standards for development and redevelopment within the zone in order to ensure that the built environment is sustainably desirable and stable, that property values are stable and maintained, and to enhance the image of the City of Chubbuck; and
7. Allow for innovative designs that create visually pleasing and cohesive patterns of development and multi-modal transportation. (Ord. 778, 2018)
