In addition to the general criteria as stated above, the following land use regulations, development standards, and design criteria shall apply to the development of all PUD parcels designated on the Sketch Plan:
A. Parcel A: The intent of development within this parcel is to provide for the intermixing of commercial and office uses with supporting high density residential to allow opportunities for employees to live in close proximity to work and provide patrons to support the businesses and encourage both day and night activity. It is intended that a strong pedestrian and bike network will be provided throughout the parcel, along with opportunities for transit routes and stops. All sites within the parcel shall be visually unified through the implementation of a cohesive building and landscaping design theme.
Unless provided otherwise in this ordinance, all general use regulations, performance standards and provisions set forth in title 9, "Zoning", of the City Code for the Regional Commercial (RC) District shall apply to any development within Parcel A, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. Land Use: All Permitted (P) and Permitted Conditional (Pc) uses permissible within the Regional Commercial (RC) and Office (OF) districts shall be allowed with the approval of the appropriate review body. Additionally, High Density Residential (RH-18) use is permitted within the parcel. The amount of high density residential development shall comprise a minimum of fifteen percent (15%), but not to exceed twenty five percent (25%), of the developable ground within Parcels A and C, collectively. Developable ground shall be considered those areas of the site unencumbered by roadways (public or private), wetlands, creeks, or steep slopes that cannot be developed.
B. Parcel B: The intent of development within this parcel is to recognize and complement the existing use context of adjacent medium density developed ground and provide a transition to the more intense commercial and office use intended within ground to the west.
All general use and bulk regulations and provisions set forth in Title 9, Zoning of the West Des Moines City Code for the Office (OF) district shall apply to any development proposal within this parcel, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. Land Use: All Permitted (P) and Permitted Conditional (Pc) uses permissible within the Regional Commercial (RC), Office (OF) and Residential Medium Density (RM-12) districts shall be allowed with the approval of the appropriate review body.
2. Land Use Restriction: No Regional Commercial land uses (including buildings and parking lots) shall be permitted within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the eastern perimeter boundary of Parcel B.
3. Buffers: A minimum thirty foot (30') landscape buffer with a minimum three foot (3') berm shall be required along the east property line of Parcel B. The required buffer shall be planted as set forth in Title 9, Chapter 19 of the city code and shall be installed at the time of first development within the PUD parcel.
4. Building Massing: Office and residential uses within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the eastern property line of Parcel B shall be restricted to a maximum of two (2) stories in height. The length of building walls adjacent to and parallel to the east property line shall not exceed one hundred sixty feet (160') in length. There shall be no limitation on building square footage.
C. Parcel C: The intent of development within this parcel is to provide for the intermixing of commercial and office uses but with a higher proportion of office use than commercial use. The multi-family allowed within this area is not only to allow employees to live in close proximity to work and provide patrons to support the businesses and encourage both day and night activity, but also to serve as a transitional use to the single-family land use intended to the east. In addition to providing opportunities for transit routes and stops, it is intended that a strong pedestrian and bike network will be provided throughout the parcel, including pathway connections to the residential areas to the north, east and south. All commercial and office sites within the parcel shall be visually unified through the implementation of a cohesive building and landscaping design theme. Residential developments within the parcel shall be visually cohesive through the use of a similar color and material pallet; however, building design shall present more of a residential look and may differ from the commercial/office area.
Unless provided otherwise in this ordinance, all general use regulations, performance standards and provisions set forth in title 9, "Zoning", of the City Code for the Office (OF) District shall apply to any development within Parcel C, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. Land Use: All Permitted (P) and Permitted Conditional (Pc) uses permissible within the Regional Commercial (RC) and Office (OF) districts shall be allowed with the approval of the appropriate review body. Additionally, High Density Residential (RH-18) use is permitted within Parcel C. The amount of high density residential development shall comprise a minimum of fifteen percent (15%), but not to exceed twenty five percent (25%), of the developable ground within Parcels A and C, collectively. Developable ground shall be considered those areas of the site unencumbered by roadways (public or private), wetlands, creeks, or steep slopes that cannot be developed.
2. Land Use Restriction: No Regional Commercial land uses (including buildings and parking lots) shall be permitted within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the perimeter boundary of Parcel C which is adjacent to residential uses in another PUD parcel, including residential uses on the opposite of a street.
3. Building Massing: All buildings within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the property line of single family lots shall be a maximum of two (2) stories in height. Individual buildings along the boundary of Parcel C shall not exceed one hundred sixty feet (160') in length. The one hundred fifty foot (150') distance shall be measured from the property line of the single family lots, not from the perimeter boundary of Parcel C.
D. Parcel D: The intent of development within this parcel is to allow the opportunity for single-family detached dwellings thus providing for an additional type of living option than the multi-family provided within other PUD parcels. A strong network of pedestrian and bike pathway connections shall be provided to link residential areas with commercial areas, other residential neighborhoods within the development and recreational amenities.
All general use and bulk regulations and provisions set forth in Title 9, Zoning of the West Des Moines City Code for the Residential Single Family (RS-5) district shall apply to any development proposal within this parcel, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. Front Yard Setbacks: Front yard setbacks within the RS-5 district may be reduced to twenty feet (20'), however, the front of garages shall be setback a minimum of twenty five feet (25') from the street right-of-way line or sidewalk edge, whichever is more interior to the private area of the lot to allow for vehicle parking without overhanging the sidewalk and impeding pedestrian movements. Open porches, as defined in City Code, with a minimum depth of 6 feet (6'), are allowed to encroach up to 8 feet (8') into the twenty foot (20') front yard setback.
2. For corner single family residential lots on which a buffer is located on the street side yard, the buffer and building setback line are permitted to overlap; however, the full buffer width needs to be provided even if the setback is less than the required buffer width. For double frontage lots, the required rear yard setback is in addition to the 30' buffer.
E. Parcel E: The intent of development within this parcel is to allow for single family detached dwellings, thus providing for an additional type of living option than the multi-family provided within other PUD parcels. A strong network of pedestrian and bike pathway connections shall be provided to link residential areas with commercial areas, other residential neighborhoods within the development and recreational amenities.
All general use and bulk regulations and provisions set forth in Title 9, Zoning of the West Des Moines City Code for the Residential Single Family (RS-5) district shall apply to any development proposal within this parcel, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. For corner single family residential lots on which a buffer is located on the street side yard, the buffer and building setback line are permitted to overlap; however, the full buffer width needs to be provided even if the setback is less than the required buffer width. For double frontage lots, the required rear yard setback is in addition to the thirty foot (30') buffer.
F. Parcel F: The intent of development within this parcel is to allow for additional office development opportunities along the major east-west roadway while respecting the existing single-family estate subdivision immediately to the south of the Pavilion Park development. It is intended that a strong pedestrian and bike network will be provided throughout the parcel, including pathway connections to commercial and residential areas within the development. All office development within the parcel shall be visually unified through the implementation of a cohesive building and landscaping design theme.
All general use and bulk regulations and provisions set forth in Title 9, Zoning of the West Des Moines City Code for the Office (OF) district shall apply to any development proposal within this parcel, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. Buffers: Buffers as outlined below shall be installed at the time of first development within the parcel. Vegetation should be intentionally located within the buffer (generally meaning at the highest points) to achieve the greatest amount of mitigation of views of buildings and parking lots, including both vehicle and overhead lights, from the adjoining residential. Of the trees required, a minimum of 50% of the trees shall be coniferous to provide for year-round screening.
a. Along South PUD Boundary: A minimum one hundred foot (100') landscape buffer shall be required along the south property line of Parcel F. Drive aisles or parking lots may be allowed to encroach into the one hundred foot (100') buffer a maximum of twenty feet (20') when it can be clearly demonstrated vehicle headlights and parking lot lighting is properly mitigated. Buffer vegetation shall be provided at a rate of three (3) overstory or evergreen trees, six (6) understory trees and 18 shrubs per thirty-five (35) linear feet of buffer.
b. Along the Eastern PUD Boundary: A minimum thirty (30') landscape buffer shall be required along the eastern property line of Parcel F. No encroachment into the buffer shall be allowed. One overstory or evergreen tree, two (2) understory trees and six (6) shrubs shall be provided for every thirty-five (35) linear feet of buffer. Required evergreen plantings within the buffer shall be placed at the highest point of the buffer to provide for the most effective buffering.
2. Building Massing: Office uses within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the property line of adjacent single family residences to the south and east shall be a maximum of two (2) stories in height. The length of building walls adjacent to and parallel to the south and east property line of Parcel F shall not exceed one hundred sixty feet (160') in length. There shall be no limitation on building square footage.
G. Parcel G: The intent of development within in this parcel is to allow the opportunity for additional single-family detached dwellings options while respecting the existing single-family estate subdivision immediately to the south of the Pavilion Park development. It is intended that a range of single-family lot sizes will be provided from north to south across this parcel. Larger lots will be provided along the south boundary of the parcel, with a decrease in lot sizes as development moves north. A strong network of pedestrian and bike pathway connections shall be provided to link residential areas with commercial areas, other residential neighborhoods within the development and recreational amenities.
All general use and bulk regulations and provisions set forth in Title 9, Zoning of the West Des Moines City Code for Residential Single Family (RS-12) shall apply to any development proposal within this parcel, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
1. Along the southern two-hundred feet (200') of Parcel G, the minimum lot size for residential lots shall be 15,000 square feet.
2. All lots within the PUD parcel shall provide a minimum of forty feet (40') of street frontage and a minimum lot width of seventy-five feet (75') as measured at the front building setback line.
3. For corner single family residential lots on which a buffer is located on the street side yard, the buffer and building setback line are permitted to overlap; however, the full buffer width needs to be provided even if the setback is less than the required buffer width. For double frontage lots, the required rear yard setback is in addition to the 30' buffer. (Ord. 2407, 3-16-2020; amd. Ord. 2488, 9-7-2021)
