A. The purpose of a planned residential unit development (PRUD) is to encourage better utilization of land, to develop a sense of community and to ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods. This is accomplished by allowing flexibility in the placement and design of buildings and infrastructure not ordinarily allowed in conventional zoning regulations. It allows flexibility in development standards for creative design and yet provides specific requirements to ensure surrounding properties and natural features are protected.
B. A planned residential unit development is a residential development planned as a whole, single complex. It incorporates a definite development theme which includes the elements of usable open spaces, diversity of lot design or residential use, amenities, a well planned circulation system, and attractive entrances as part of the design. The incorporation of one or two (2) of these elements into a development does not make a PRUD. The combination of all of these elements is necessary for the development of a PRUD.
(Ord. 93-30, 7-23-1993)
As used in this Chapter, the following terms shall mean:
ATTACHED DWELLING UNITS: Two (2) or more dwelling units connected by at least one wall or floor of common construction.
DEVELOPED COMMON ACTIVITY AREA: Open green space which is designed to provide activity areas for use by all residents such as playgrounds, recreational courts, picnic pavilions, gazebos and water features. Common developed activity areas shall be held by all residents in common ownership through a homeowners' association or shall be available for use by all residents if the PRUD will be held in single ownership.
FACADE: All exterior walls of a building or structure.
GROSS ACREAGE: The total amount of acreage in a PRUD development.
NET ACREAGE: The total amount of acreage in a PRUD development, excluding right of ways or roads.
OPEN GREEN SPACE: A planned open area suitable for relaxation, recreation or landscaping which may be held in common or private ownership. It should be unoccupied and unobstructed by buildings and hard surface such as asphalt or cement, except that such open green spaces may include walkways, patios, recreational activity areas, picnic pavilions, gazebos and water features so long as such surfaces do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the required open green space.
PERIPHERY: A one hundred foot (100') depth around the perimeter of the project measured inward from the property line.
(Ord. 93-30, 7-23-1993)
Uses in all PRUDs shall be limited to the permitted and conditional uses in the zone where the PRUD is located, with the following exceptions:
A. Attached Dwelling Units: Attached dwelling units may be allowed in the R-1 and R-2 zones to provide a variety of housing options, provided all other requirements of this chapter are met.
B. Accessory Uses: Accessory uses to the PRUD which are located in a common main building may be permitted. Accessory uses shall be limited to daycares, personal services and recreational facilities so long as adequate parking is provided as determined by the planning commission.
