21-2-7.4: STANDARDS ELIGIBLE FOR MODIFICATION:

Unless otherwise expressly modified as part of the PAD approval process, PADs shall utilize the base (underlying) zoning districts and all applicable standards established in this chapter. The City Council is authorized to approve PADs that deviate from strict compliance with specified standards if they determine that the resulting development satisfies the approval criteria of section 21-2-7.5 of this section 21-2-7. The PAD standards may be more or less restrictive than those standards identified in this chapter. PAD zoning may be used to:

   A.   Define and condition land uses permitted within each district, including expanding or restricting uses permitted by right or by conditional use permit within a base zoning district. PAD zoning may specify the location of land uses and define standards for operation and performance of land uses.

   B.   Define development standards pertaining to the size, dimensions, height, lot coverage, placement, or setback of uses. However, the total number of dwelling units in a PAD Plan shall not exceed the maximum number permitted by the General Plan density for the total area of the PAD designated for residential and/or mixed-uses.

   C.   Specify the location, extent, and design standards for open space, landscaping, amenities, screening and buffers, and signage.

   D.   Specify the location and design of public/private streets, drives, parking, pedestrian, and bikeway circulation components.

   E.   Specify the timing, sequencing, and phasing of development, including coordinating the type, location, and intensity of development permitted with the construction and availability of public/private facilities and services.

   F.   Provide for the construction of public/private improvements and facilities onsite or within public easements and rights-of- way abutting the site as required to serve and benefit development within the PAD area or as may be required to mitigate impacts resulting from the development on other properties and uses adjacent to and/or proximate to the PAD area. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-2-7.5: APPROVAL CRITERIA:

A PAD District may be approved only when the City Council determines that the proposed PAD would result in a greater benefit to the City as a whole than would development under conventional zoning district regulations and would not adversely affect the existing and/or future permissible uses of adjacent properties. Such greater benefit may include implementation of adopted planning policies/design standards, natural resource preservation/conservation, enhanced provision of utilities, urban design, neighborhood/community amenities or an overall level of increased development quality. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-2-7.6: MANUFACTURED HOME OVERLAY DISTRICTS:

The purpose of the Manufactured Home Overlay Districts is to provide for overlay zones that will permit the placement, and regulate the permanent or periodic installation of, manufactured homes, tiny homes or recreational vehicles for occupancy as single-family residential dwellings on individual lots or within an approved land lease development. The intent of these provisions is to provide attainable, adequate and diversified housing opportunities within the City of Eloy while establishing and maintaining appropriate development standards.

The development standards of this district are intended to be consistent with the standards for other single-family neighborhoods developed at similar densities. All public utilities and facilities must be present and adequate to serve the project.

      2.   A minimum of ten (10) acres shall be required to establish the Manufactured Home Overlay Zoning District for a manufactured home subdivision with individual lot sales.

The development standards of this district are intended to be consistent with the standards for other single-family neighborhoods developed at similar densities. All public utilities and facilities must be present and adequate to serve the project.

      2.   A minimum of fifteen (15) acres shall be required to establish the Manufactured Home Overlay Zoning District for a land lease (park model) development.

   C.   Tiny House Park (THP):

      1.   The purpose of this overlay district is to provide a housing product for those inhabitants who choose to reside in a smaller house. The park is expected to include amenities, services and facilities for its residents. All public utilities and facilities must be present and adequate to serve the project.

      2.   A minimum of one-quarter acre (10,800 square feet) shall be required to establish a Tiny House Park.

   D.   Recreational Vehicle Park (RVP):

Any existing manufactured home that is not in compliance with the design standards of section 21-2-7.8 of this section 21-2-7 at the time of the effective date hereof shall be brought into compliance with said design standards, as additions or alterations to the structure are requested. Any existing manufactured home, even if it is not located within a Manufactured Home Overlay District, may be replaced in its entirety only with a manufactured home that is in compliance with all of the design standards of section 21-2-7.8 of this section 21-2-7 and other provisions of this section.
