(A) Purpose. The purpose of the planned unit development district (PUD) is to permit great flexibility in the use and design of structures and land in situations where modification of specific provisions of this chapter will not be contrary to its intent and purpose or significantly inconsistent with the planning on which it is based, and will not be harmful to the neighborhood in which the districts occur.
(B) Permitted, accessory, and conditional uses. The following are permitted, accessory, and conditional uses within the PUD district:
(1) Permitted, accessory, and conditional uses allowed within the zoning district where the proposed PUD is to be located; and
(2) Other uses provided that these uses shall not occupy more than 10% of the gross land area.
(C) Lot area regulations. The provisions of this section shall be applied to land of one or more acres in size. The total land area may not be less than that required under the other district provisions for the equivalent use and number of structures or units.
(D) Procedural requirements.
(1) Preliminary development plan.
(a) The applicant requesting a planned unit development shall first submit a preliminary development plan in accordance with the procedures for amendments set forth and regulated by this chapter.
(b) The preliminary development plan shall consist of location and preliminary site maps including maps and/or statements describing proposals suggested for land use, parking, drainage, utilities, and other additional data required by the Planning Commission or City Council.
(2) Final development plan.
(a) Within one year from date of City Council approval of the preliminary development plan, the applicant shall submit a final development plan to the Planning Commission.
(b) The final development plan shall include:
1. Complete site development plans;
2. Complete landscaping plans (where necessary);
3. Complete parking and circulation plans;
4. Complete drainage and other utility system plans;
5. Preliminary architectural floor plans; and
6. Additional data as required by the Planning Commission.
(c) The Planning Commission shall review the final development plan to assure consistency with the approved preliminary development plan. The Planning Commission shall recommend for approval or disapproval with conditions and reasons thereof to the City Council. In case the plan is disapproved, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the reason for disapproval and what requirements are necessary to meet the approval of the Commission.
(d) The final development plan, together with the recommendations of the Planning Commission, shall be submitted to the City Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting. If accepted, the final development plan shall be approved by resolution, including acceptance of all agreements for basic improvements, public dedications, and other requirements as indicated by the City Council. If denied, the reasons for refusal shall be set forth in the proceedings of the Council and reported to the applicant.
(3) Approved plans. Requests for variances may be approved when consistent with the purpose of this section. All approved final development plans which include the platting or replatting of property within the PUD shall be filed and recorded with the County Recorder’s office. Failure to do so within one year of Council’s final approval shall result in the requiring of a new preliminary development plan according with the procedures set forth in this section to ensure compliance with any new requirements.
(4) Recording on Zoning Map. Upon approval of the first PUD, the Zoning Administrator shall record the PUD district onto the Zoning Map and designate the district as PUD-1. Thereafter, future approved PUD districts shall be designated in sequential order, i.e., PUD-2, PUD-3, PUD-4, and so on.
