Whereas, Title 9 of the West Des Moines City Code includes Chapter 9, Planned Unit Development District (PUD) and establishes certain regulations and guidelines pertaining to accompanying information required on a plat and site plan documents.
A. Now, therefore, the following conditions, restrictions, and regulations are adopted as part of this approval and the following general site plan criteria shall be integrated into and made a part of the development criteria for the Ryun Farm PUD, to wit:
1. All subdivisions, public streets, public street rights-of-way and general development shall adhere to the standards and design criteria set forth in the West Des Moines Subdivision Ordinance and the Des Moines Metropolitan Design Standards as adopted by the City of West Des Moines pertaining thereto, unless otherwise stated within this Ordinance.
2. Any regulation, standard, provision or requirement that is not specifically addressed within this document that is regulated elsewhere in the City Code of West Des Moines, the requirements of the City Code are applicable and shall be enforced.
3. In all areas within a 100-year frequency flood hazard zone, or adjoining drainageways or detention areas involving potential flood hazards, no building shall be erected which has a lowest floor, including basements, less than one foot (1') above the determined level of the 100-year frequency flood event or floodproofed to the same elevation in accordance with the West Des Moines Floodplain Ordinance, and no building shall be erected within twenty five feet (25') of a major drainage, storm water detention basin or pond.
4. The developer, their successors and assigns, if any, shall pay all construction and engineering costs for the interior development of the planned unit development, in accordance with the current City policies at the time of development, as required by this Ordinance, the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of West Des Moines, and the Des Moines Metropolitan Design Standards as adopted by the City of West Des Moines, for all streets, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, drainage improvements, detention basins, water mains, buffers and other improvements within the PUD as may be required.
B. Land Use Design Criteria: In addition to the general conditions as stated in subsection A above, the following land use design criteria shall apply to the development areas designated by parcel on the sketch plan. The sketch plan document which is made a part of this rezoning action per Section 032-02 of this Ordinance, delineates three (3) parcels within the PUD as Parcels A, B and C for application of specific standards of land use and development regulations.
The Ryun Farm PUD shall incorporate approximately forty five (45.00) acres with an overall density that shall not exceed fifteen (15) dwelling units per acre or a maximum of six hundred forty nine (649) dwelling units. The shifting of densities within the PUD shall be permitted provided that the development of any parcel in the PUD shall not exceed a density of eighteen (18.0) dwelling units per acre. The following development standards and use regulations shall apply to any development within the PUD as applicable.
1. Parcel A: All general use regulations, performance standards and provisions set forth in Title 9, Chapter 5 of the City Code for the RM-12 Residential-Moderate Density District shall apply to any development proposal for all property within Parcel A as shown on the sketch plan, unless noted otherwise in this Ordinance.
a. Development Standards: A buffer park shall be required along Prairie View Drive and Interstate 35 and no direct driveway access to individual lots shall be permitted from Prairie View Drive. No fences or structures shall be permitted within the buffer park. Prior to development within any part of Parcel A, a buffer plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City which illustrates that use of berms and tree plantings in accordance with the provisions of the City Code, as amended by Ordinance 1073, to effectively buffer the residential uses from the Interstate and Prairie View Drive. Differing housing types shall be permitted within the parcel without being required to provide a buffer park between the differing housing types; however, the screening of the negative elements of one housing type from another housing type shall be reviewed during the site plan development review process and additional landscaping and berming may be required.
Any structures with more than two (2) dwelling units, shall maintain a minimum building separation of thirty feet (30'). The building separation for single-family detached and bi-attached single-family shall comply with the minimum setback regulations as set forth in the RM District.
2. Parcels B And C: All general use regulations, performance standards and provisions set forth in Title 9, Chapter 5 of the City Code for the RH-15 Residential-High Density District of the City of West Des Moines, shall apply to any development in Parcel B and C, provided however, that no office uses shall be permitted within this parcel.
a. Development Standards: A minimum thirty five foot (35') wide landscaped buffer park shall be established along right-of-way of Prairie View Drive and a minimum thirty foot (30') landscaped buffer park shall be established along the right-of-way of Interstate 35 for the purpose of screening and buffering the residential units within Parcel B from the negative impact of these streets. A landscape buffer park shall also be required along the southern boundary of Parcel C to provide buffering between this parcel and other adjacent properties with future differing land uses; however there shall be no buffer requirements between Parcel A and Parcel B of the PUD. No building on Parcel B shall be located closer than thirty five feet (35') from Parcel A.
The landscaped buffer parks shall incorporate berming and vegetative plantings to effectively screen and buffer said units from the adjacent street with no buildings, internal drives, parking areas, fences, or structures of any type, except permitted signage, shall be allowed within the buffer park. No fences or structures shall be permitted within the buffer parks. Prior to development within any part of Parcel B or C, a buffer plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City which illustrates the use of berms and tree plantings in accordance with the provisions of the City Code, as amended by Ordinance 1073.
No building taller than two (2) stories in height shall be located closer than one hundred feet (100') to the public street right-of-way of Prairie View Drive. The maximum height of any building within Parcel B and C shall be forty five feet (45').
b. Architecture Requirements: The architecture of multiple-family buildings within Parcel B and C shall be acceptable to the City and accomplished in a manner compatible with the adjoining residential uses in the neighborhood. Architectural design for multi-family buildings shall include some brick features on all sides of the building and shall attempt to express a creative presentation of exterior building materials, exterior details and texture, treatment of windows and doors, and use of angles and multiplicity of planes within the wall and roof design to lessen the plainness of appearance which can be characteristic of large residential buildings.
