The neighborhood plan shall not be deemed a mandatory design standard for the subdivision of a particular tract of land. The neighborhood plan shall serve as a performance guide and shall be utilized as follows:
A. The proposed plat shall be reviewed and compared to the neighborhood plan in order to ensure provision of:
1. Necessary utility extensions in appropriate locations;
2. Street extensions to existing or proposed streets; and
3. Open spaces and drainage ways in compliance with adopted regulations and policies.
B. Where a proposed subdivision does not correspond with the neighborhood plan, the Planning Commission may require the developer or the City staff to indicate amendments to the neighborhood plan which will meet the design principles of the neighborhood unit and accommodate the proposed subdivision.
C. Where the Planning Commission determines that the proposed subdivision design is not compatible with the neighborhood plan and that amendments to the plan are inappropriate, the Planning Commission may direct such revisions in the subdivision design as are necessary to achieve the goals established by the neighborhood plan.
(Code 1991, § 12-524)
A. Neighborhood plans shall be reviewed and amended upon the motion of the Planning Commission.
B. The amendment process shall follow the procedures outlined for initial preparation of the neighborhood plan.
C. Whenever, after notice of hearing as required in the subdivision regulations, a plat is approved which differs substantially from the neighborhood plan, the Planning Commission may amend the neighborhood plan to incorporate the plat. Such amendment shall not require further hearings or notice.
(Code 1991, § 12-525)
A. A neighborhood plan, as provided for in these regulations, shall consist of an alternative design for a defined neighborhood unit. This design for the development of the neighborhood shall take into consideration all relevant physical, social, governmental, and political factors which the Planning Commission deems appropriate. It is intended that the following factors, at a minimum, be considered in developing neighborhood plans:
1. Existing land ownership and development patterns;
2. Adopted land subdivision regulations, the comprehensive plan, and functional plans for City water, sanitary sewer, parks, and storm drainage facilities;
3. Physical features such as topography, geology, woodlands, and water bodies;
4. Existing easements and undeveloped rights-of-way; and
5. Current and projected housing trends.
B. Neighborhood plans shall be prepared in a format which will clearly depict existing neighborhood features and the recommended alternative neighborhood design. The plan shall include appropriate street alignments, lot patterns, major utilities, drainage ways, and public open spaces.
C. In preparing neighborhood plans, the Planning Commission shall give due consideration to the following criteria:
1. The provisions of an adequate collector street system which will discourage through traffic;
2. The provision of local streets which will optimize the number of lots per linear foot of street;
3. The design of lots which shall minimize the need for joint development efforts by separate land owners;
4. The provision of adequate parks and open spaces in accordance with the comprehensive plan and the parks and recreation plan;
5. The provision of floodway and drainage easements in accordance with delineated floodways and the drainage improvement standards of the City; and
6. The design of the neighborhood plan shall conform, as closely as possible, to the principles of a neighborhood unit.
