1123.03 PERMITTED USES.
   (a)   All uses within a designated PUD Overlay District are governed by the provisions of this Code and the approval plan of the project involved. PUDs may contain any use identified by the developer and approved by both the Planning Commission and the Council along with conditions appropriate to such uses, if any.
      (1)   Residential uses. A variety of dwelling unit types shall be permitted including single-family detached, single-family attached, duplex, multi-family or any combination thereof.
      (2)   Non-residential uses. Those uses deemed compatible with the project proposal and surrounding neighborhood uses are permitted upon approval of the Planning Commission and Council.
   (b)   Mixed Use PUD. Where a mix of residential uses and non-residential uses is proposed, the following criteria will apply to review the permitted uses.
      (1)   All residential development areas included in the PUD are to be planned and integrated with the non-residential uses to minimize conflicts and encourage compatibility.
      (2)   There shall be a market analysis study furnished to the Planning Commission to establish specific economic need for all land uses. The market analysis should demonstrate the justification for the type of development and the amount of land required for each use.
      (3)   The PUD shall be located and designed so that the proposed uses will be adequately served by the street system, existing and proposed. Private and public roads within the PUD shall include a pedestrian focus with sidewalks, tree lawns, bike paths and transit.
      (4)   Parking and service areas, entrances, exits, signs, lighting, noise or other potentially adverse influences shall be so designed as to protect and minimize unfavorable impact on the residential development area within the PUD.
   (c)   Accessory Uses.
      (1)   Permitted residential accessory uses shall include those accessory uses that are permitted for residential uses in the R-1 District and comply with all applicable sections of this Code.
      (2)   Permitted non-residential accessory uses shall include those accessory uses that are permitted for non-residential uses in the B-1 District and comply with all applicable sections of this Code.

1123.04 DENSITY FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
   (a)   The residential density of a PUD Overlay District shall be based on the specific density prescribed by the underlying zoning district. In calculating residential density, the total number or square feet (sq. ft.) in the development shall exclude:
      (1)   Any area within the 100 year flood plain; or
      (2)   Any area devoted to commercial or industrial uses.
      (3)   For land area with slopes in excess of 25% grade, prior to grading, the density exclusion shall be calculated at 50%.
   (b)   If a PUD is in more than one zoning district, the number of allowable dwelling units shall be separately calculated for each portion of the PUD that is in a separate district, and shall then be combined to determine the number of dwelling units allowed in the entire PUD, subject to the exclusions in subsection (a) hereof.
   (c)   Density may be increased above the maximum amount allowable within each category. However, the density in the PUD may not exceed, by more than 10%, the density which is permitted in the zoning districts in which the PUD is located. Additional density increases may be authorized by the Planning Commission for the following items:
      (1)   Restoration and/or adaptive re-use of historically and/or architecturally valuable existing buildings, add one unit per acre.
      (2)   Dedication of a public school site of an adequate size as determined by the Board of Education, add up to two units per acre.
      (3)   Retention of natural areas, woodlots, streams, valleys and ravines, add up to two units per acre.
      (4)   Grid patterned commercial and residential layout based upon traditional urban planning patterns, add up to two units per acre.
(Ord. 16-19. Passed 9-16-19.)
1123.05 OPEN SPACE.
   (a)   Twenty-five percent of the gross acreage in the project shall be retained as open space to improve the visual attractiveness of the development, preserve natural features and vistas and supply functional recreational areas. Not included as open space are:
      (1)   Public or private streets or rights-of-way, including sidewalks.
      (2)   Open parking areas and driveways for dwellings.
      (3)   Land covered by buildings and non-residential structures not designated for recreational use.
      (4)   Designated outdoor storage areas.
   (b)   The open space may be of three basic types:
      (1)   Private open space. Private yards which are owned and maintained by individual owners and reserved exclusively for their use.
      (2)   Common open space. Areas of land or water or a combination of land and water, together with improvements within the PUD. Common open space may include accessory structures and improvements necessary or desirable for religious, educational, non-commercial, recreational or cultural uses, with approval of the Planning Commission.
      (3)   Public open space. Lands within the PUD deeded to the City or other public entity for a public use shall remain a part of the PUD for purposes of computing density.
   (c)   Undeveloped open space may exist within any of the three above categories. Land is undeveloped when a site's natural features are retained in their undisturbed, unimproved natural state, thus encouraging the preservation of unique natural assets such as unusual rock outcroppings, groves of trees, ravines, ponds and stream beds.
   (d)   Once open space areas are identified, these areas may not later be used for other purposes.
   (e)   Ownership and Perpetual Maintenance. Proposed ownerships of all recreation, park, common areas and open space areas shall be identified and a perpetual maintenance plan for such areas submitted to the City for review and approval.

1123.06 PUD DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
   The PUD Design Standards and Guidelines describe and illustrate building patterns emphasizing their relationship to the street for defining space. They address the importance of creating visual focal points along the streetscape and the treatment of public spaces. The PUD Design Standards and Guidelines which may be revised and updated periodically, shall be kept on file with the Community Development Department and will be made available to the applicant.
(Ord. 16-19. Passed 9-16-19.)
1123.07 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
   (a)   The scale, design and detailing of structures are essential to creating a visually and architecturally appealing environment that is sustainable. The Architectural Standards and Guidelines define and articulate design principles that relate to the scale, positioning, detailing of facades, roofs, windows, and appurtenances to buildings. The Architectural Design Standards and Guidelines which may be revised and updated periodically shall be kept on file with the Community Development Department and will be made available to the applicant.
   (b)   Dwelling units shall comply with the residential appearance standards set forth in Section 1115.06.
(Ord. 16-19. Passed 9-16-19.)
1123.08 BUILDING SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
   (a)   The minimum setback of buildings from the perimeter of the total tract shall be determined by the development plan based on the classification of the adjacent zoning district.
   (b)   Building separation shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Fire Code, state or local Building Code and other safety codes of the City and in accordance with good design principles as defined in Sections 1123.06 and 1123.07. All setbacks and building separations shall be defined by the development plan and shall be maintained as permanent landscaped open space, free of buildings, structures, driveways, streets or off-street parking.
   (c)   Fences, earth berms, walks, barriers and landscaping shall be used, as appropriate, for the protection and aesthetic enhancement of property and privacy of its occupants, screening of objectionable views or uses and reduction of noise, but shall not obstruct the vision of motorists and pedestrians on or near public or private roads.
