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, site plan and permitted conditional use document.
A. General Conditions: 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 Baty 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 shall still 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 flood plain ordinance, and no building shall be erected within twenty five feet (25') of any 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 requirement stated within this document, 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 document by reference elsewhere in this ordinance, delineates one parcel within the PUD, denoted as parcel A, for application of specific standards of land use and development regulations. The following development standards and use regulations shall apply to development within said parcel A, or portion of said parcel, as applicable:
1. Parcel A: All general use regulations and provisions set forth in title 9, zoning, of the West Des Moines city code for the residential medium-density district (RM-8-CP) shall apply to any development proposal for all property within parcel A as shown on the sketch plan of the Baty Farm PUD, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance. Parcel A shall incorporate a maximum net developable of thirteen (13) acres with a density no greater than eight (8) dwelling units per acre.
a. Development Standards: Allowed uses within this parcel shall be limited to those uses listed for the residential medium- density district (RM-8-CP) as outlined in the residential use matrix in the West Des Moines city code unless otherwise modified herein.
b. Setbacks: All building heights and setbacks within parcel A shall be in accordance with the setback and bulk density regulations of the West Des Moines zoning ordinance for the residential medium-density district (RM-8-CP) unless otherwise herein modified. Single-family attached dwelling units may be constructed on platted postage stamp type lots with no required setbacks within said postage stamp type lots. In no case shall any dwelling unit, porch, deck, fence, or other structure encroach into any required buffer park.
A minimum thirty foot (30') building setback shall be provided from the ultimate right-of-way line of the public street through parcel A as shown on the sketch plan, provided that no unit shall have direct access to the public street. Any units with direct access to the public street shall comply with the residential medium-density district (RM-8) setback requirements. A minimum fifty foot (50') building setback shall be required along the eastern boundary line of parcel A, and a minimum thirty five foot (35') building setback shall be required along the northern, southern, and western boundary lines of parcel A.
c. Architecture: Architecture for residential development in parcel 2 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 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. The use of brick elements shall be incorporated into the building architecture, unless the city council, after recommendation by the planning and zoning commission, shall determine that the use of alternate building materials enhances the physical appearance.
