(A) Development parameters. Prior to the approval of a PD zoning district designation, the Planning Commission shall recommend and the City Council shall find the application for the PD zoning district designation, the required PD Master Plan, and the PD Terms and Conditions comply with the following standards.
(1) Master Plan. The PD Master Plan:
(a) Is prepared by a licensed engineer, architect, landscape architect, or land planner;
(b) Includes a statement of planning objectives for the site;
(c) Identifies the general location of land uses within individual development areas or development pods, and the mix of land uses;
(d) Calculates the acreage, number, type, and mix of land uses, including the total number of residential units, residential densities, and nonresidential intensities within each development area or development pod, and the total number, type, and mix of land uses for the entire PD Master Plan;
(e) Identifies the general location, amount, and type (whether designated for active or passive recreation) of open space;
(f) Identifies the location of environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife habitat, and riparian areas;
(g) Identifies the on-site transportation circulation system including all public and private streets, existing or projected transit corridors, pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and how such on-site improvements will connect with existing adjacent city facilities;
(h) Identifies on-site potable water and wastewater facilities, how they will connect to city systems, and how construction will occur in accordance with city ordinances; and
(i) Identifies the general location of all public facility sites serving the development, including transportation, potable water, wastewater, parks, fire, police, EMS, stormwater management, and schools.
(2) In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The PD zoning district designation and the PD Master Plan are in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
(3) Compatibility with adjacent existing or proposed development. Development along the perimeter of a PD District is compatible with adjacent existing or proposed development. If appropriate, in cases where there are issues of compatibility, the PD Master Plan shall provide for transition areas at the edges of the PD District that provide for appropriate buffering or ensure a complementary character of uses. Complementary character shall be identified based on densities/intensities, lot size and dimensions, building height, building mass and scale, hours of operation, exterior lighting, and location of service areas.
(4) Development phasing plan. If there are phases of development proposed for the PD, a development phasing plan shall be provided for the PD Master Plan that identifies the general sequence or phases in which the land is proposed to be developed, including how residential and nonresidential development is timed, how infrastructure (public and private) and open space is provided and timed, and how development is coordinated with the city's capital improvements program. The phasing plan shall be established at the time of approval of the PD Master Plan. It is permissible for a development phasing plan to include only one phase.
(5) On-site public facilities. The PD Master Plan shall establish the responsibility of the landowner/developer to make any on-site or other public improvements as appropriate. The PD Master Plan shall ensure that impacts from the PD Master Plan are addressed for the following:
(a) The PD Master Plan shall establish the general location of on-site potable water facilities and how they will connect to the city's potable water system consistent with city laws, and how dedication of land, easements, or on-site construction of all potable water facilities/improvements will occur in a manner that complies with city laws.
(b) The PD Master Plan shall establish the general location of on-site wastewater facilities and, as appropriate, how they will connect to the city's or other wastewater lines and mains and sewer interceptor lines consistent with city laws, and how dedication of land, easements, or on-site construction of all wastewater facilities/improvements will occur in a manner that complies with city laws.
(c) The PD Master Plan shall establish the design of public streets within the planned development in ways that comply with all applicable city standards. Right-of-way, pavement widths, and street widths may be reduced by the City Council where it is found that:
1. The PD Master Plan provides for separation of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic;
2. Access for emergency service vehicles is not substantially impaired;
3. Adequate off-street parking is provided for the uses proposed; and
4. Adequate space for public utilities is provided within the right-of-way.
(d) The PD Master Plan shall establish the general location and function of on-site stormwater management facilities in accordance with city, state, and federal regulations.
(e) The PD Master Plan shall establish the responsibility of the subdivider/owner for providing right-of-way and easements and for constructing on-site facilities for all other infrastructure located on the site of the proposed planned development, including but not limited to police facilities, fire facilities, and EMS facilities. The PD Master Plan shall also establish the responsibility of the subdivider/owner to make any other improvements as required by city ordinances, and, if requested by the city, to dedicate these improvements to the city in a form that complies with city laws.
(6) Off-site public facilities. The PD Master Plan shall include a fire, police, and EMS component that demonstrate adequate facilities for fire protection, police protection, and EMS services is available or will be available at the time development occurs to accommodate development proposed in the PD Master Plan.
(7) Planned Development Terms and Conditions. Concurrent with the approval of the adopting ordinance for the PD zoning district designation and the PD Master Plan, a statement of PD Terms and Conditions shall be established binding the PD to any conditions placed in the adopting ZDO and PD Master Plan. The PD Terms and Conditions shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) The PD Master Plan, including any PD Standards;
(b) Conditions related to the approval of the PD Master Plan;
(c) Conditions related to the form and design of development in the PD Master Plan;
(d) Provisions addressing how transportation, potable water, wastewater, stormwater management, fire/police/EMS, parks, schools, and any other relevant public facilities will be provided to accommodate the development proposed for the PD Master Plan;
(e) Provisions related to environmental protection and monitoring; and
(f) Any other provisions the City Council determines is relevant and appropriate to the implementation of the PD.
(B) Minimum area. A PD District shall be a minimum of three acres in area. The City Council may waive this minimum area requirement (following a recommendation of the Planning Commission), based on a finding that creative site planning through rezoning to a PD District is necessary to address a physical development constraint, protect sensitive natural areas, or promote a community goal when more conventional development or subdivision would be difficult or undesirable given the constraints on development.
(C) Uses. The uses allowed in a PD District are identified in Table 164.01, Table of Allowed Uses. Allowed uses are subject to any use regulations applicable to the PD District. A mix of different residential dwelling types in close proximity to one another is encouraged. Commercial uses serving the development are also allowed.
(D) Maximum density. The maximum density in a PD District shall not exceed those authorized in the base district(s) being replaced by the PD District designation.
