PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
This district is established to permit greater flexibility, and more creative and imaginative design for developments than generally are not possible under conventional zoning regulations. This following outline is for the establishing of a Planned Unit Development district (PUD) which are in general harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Regulations and with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. These districts typically allow typical land uses, densities, open space requirements and other elements which may vary from those applicable in any other districts established in the Regulations.
• Reducing or eliminating the inflexibility that sometimes results from strict application of zoning standards that were designed primarily for individual lots.
• Allowing greater freedom in selecting the means to provide access, light, open space and design amenities.
• Promoting quality urban design and environmental sensitive development by allowing development to take advantage of special site characteristics, locations and land uses.
• Allowing deviations from certain zoning standards that would otherwise apply if not contrary to the general spirit and intent of these Regulations.
Use Regulations: Any use may be permitted within the Planned Unit Development District, provided that it is consistent with the purposes of these regulations and consistent with the approved PUD Site Development Plan.
Procedure for Designation of a Planned Development District: An application to establish a Planned Unit Development district shall be processed in the same manner as a rezoning amendment under Article 13 [ONLINE ARTICLE 12].
Step 1 Concept Design: An application must be submitted in the form of a rezoning application and a fee paid according to the master fee schedule. Along with the application the developer must submit a concept design giving a very basic and generalized concept of what they are planning to accomplish. Once the fee has been paid and the design reviewed by the zoning administrator the project will be presented before the Planning Commission for review and approval or denial. Should a Developer wish to skip step one and proceed to Step 2 this can be brought up with the zoning administrator however, an application must still be submitted, and the fee paid.
Other: Additional drawings or information may be required to ensure the purpose of this Article is met or to facilitate review of plans involving extraordinary sites.
a. Development Plan Approval Guidelines: The PUD Site Development Plan submission and content requirements are contained in Article 11-103(A-E) and Article 11-105(a.1) of these regulations. Once a PUD Site Development Plan has been received and filed, the Zoning Administrator will review the application for sufficiency and will set a date for the Planning Commission to consider the request.
b. Off-street Parking and Loading: The parking requirements shall follow the PUD Site Development Plan approved as part of the establishment of the PUD district. In the event the PUD does not specify specific parking requirements, the PUD will be subject to the standards of Article 5 of these regulations.
c. Sign Regulations: The sign requirements shall follow the PUD Site Development Plan approved as part of the establishment of the PUD as specified within these Regulations.
d. Height, Area and Bulk Regulations: The height of buildings, the minimum dimensions of lots and yards, residential densities, and the minimum lot area on any lot shall follow the PUD Site Development Plan approved as part of the establishment of the PUD district.
Once received and reviewed by the zoning administrator, a date shall be set for official review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Step 2 Platting: Following approval of the PUD Site Development Plan the property shall be platted. If the property is currently platted, the Zoning Administrator may require the property to be replated at their discretion. The Platting process and subdivision criteria can be found in [Appendix D of these online regulations]. Once a plat application has been received and the fee processed the Zoning Administrator will review the application for accuracy and will set a date for the plat to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Once it has been accepted by the Planning Commission the Zoning Administrator will set a date for the City Council to review the plat.
• Platting requires a Preliminary and a Final Plat.
• Preliminary plats go before the Planning Commission
• Final Plats go before the Planning Commission & the City Council
• Final rezoning goes before the City Council.
• Preliminary & Final Plats may be considered concurrently before the Planning Commission. Such a request requires approval by the zoning administrator.
The plat shall contain a statement that an official copy of the PUD Site Development Plan is on file with the City of Goddard, and the responsibility for continuing maintenance and compliance with the PUD Site Development Plan and its written provisions shall be binding upon all successors and assigns, unless the PUD District is amended in conformance with the procedures set forth by the City of Goddard.
If the property is not required to replated, a statement recorded with the register of deeds to the same effect shall be submitted.
Step 3 Formal Site Development Plan: Written Statement: A written statement containing a general description of the project including the proposed number of buildings, number of residential units and the number of bedrooms in each unit. Developer must also submit information demonstrating that the development will not impose an undue burden on public services and facilities. The development should consider the character of the area in which the development will be located and assure that proposed structures, signs and other improvements are compatible to both the proposed site and surrounding neighborhood. Final Design: The final design shall be laid out in a plat like format for the files of the city of Goddard.
In total there can be up to four (4) Planning Commission meetings and one (2) City Council Meeting or as little as one (2) Planning Commission meeting with (1) City Council meetings depending on what is acceptable before the zoning administrator.
Modifications: The Zoning Administrator, at their discretion, shall have the authority to approve minor changes to the PUD Site Development Plan as they may occur to allow for flexibility in design and or any unforeseen changes that may come about by physical restrictions. The Zoning Administrator shall not approve modifications that are considered a substantial revision to the plan (e.g., the addition of land uses not originally approved, increasing building coverage/ residential densities by more that 25 percent, and the expansion of the PUD boundary). Any person aggrieved by the action of the Zoning Administrator hereunder may file an application for amendment of the PUD district.
