The following standards represent broad parameters under which all PUD developments must be designed:
(a) Central Water and Sewer Facilities.
All structures in developments approved as a PUD must be served by central or public water and sewer facilities.
(b) Development Layout and Design.
The design and layout of all PUDs shall display excellence in design by properly considering significant site features, such as topography, natural drainage patterns, roadway access and circulation, surrounding land uses, and general public welfare to result in desirable land development. Attractive landscaped buffers shall be provided between incompatible land uses and activities.
(1) Front, Side, and Rear Setback Standards for Perimeter Lots.
All lots that are located along the perimeter of the PUD shall have minimum front, side and rear setbacks equal to those that would normally be specified in the zoning district prevailing at the time of application for PUD approval or twenty-five feet (25'), whichever is greater.
(2) Off-Street Parking and Loading Facilities.
For all land uses located within the PUD, the parking and loading standards contained in Chapter 1183 shall be applied.
(c) Residential (PUD-RS) Development Standards.
In addition to the general development standards described in Section (b) above, residential PUDs shall meet the following development standards:
(1) Clustering Residential Development and Required Open Space.
Clustering residential density is encouraged to provide required common open space. A minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the land developed for residential purposes in a PUD-RS project shall be reserved for common open space. This required amount of common space shall be established as common open space, under one ownership, and provision shall be established for maintenance and care. The legal articles relating to any organization of property owners in the development charged with such open space maintenance shall be submitted to the City. The City Council may require as a condition of final approval, any evidence deemed necessary to document that the required common space will remain in its stated condition as long as the development exists (including such as legal documents, deed restrictions, conservation easements, etc.).
(2) Clustering Residential Density.
To achieve a clustering of residential density and to provide for the required common open space, the lot area requirements for residential land uses may be reduced from the densities required under the district(s) applying to the property at the time of application by up to twenty percent (20%). The lot width and yard requirements for residential lots may also be reduced as needed to accommodate a variety of structural patterns, clustering designs, and housing types.
(3) Residential Dwelling Types.
Along with clustering residential density, a PUD-RS may include a mixture of dwelling types, including single-family detached dwellings, two-family units, zero lot-line units, and multi-family units, provided the maximum densities defined in each existing zoning classification are not exceeded.
