§ 153.100.010 INTENT AND PURPOSE.¶
(A) Flexible plan. The Planned Development Overlay Zone provides opportunities to establish development policies and controls that allow development under a flexible plan that may not otherwise be possible under conventional zoning controls. The mechanism for allowing such flexible standards is through the application of the Planned Development Overlay Zone to a property and the accompanying approval of a development plan pursuant to part 19 of subchapter 153.210.
(B) Additive zoning. The Planned Development Overlay Zone is additive to the underlying zone, and the standards established as part of the applicable development permit shall not be used to increase the maximum allowable residential density for a development project or to change the uses permitted in the underlying zone. The standards for the underlying zone shall apply with regard to both maximum allowable density and use.
(Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)
§ 153.100.020 ESTABLISHMENT OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.¶
(A) A Planned Development Overlay Zone shall be applied in the same manner as property is reclassified from one zone to another, as set forth in subchapter 153.210, Part 15 - Zoning Code Text and Zoning Map Amendments. When a Planned Development Overlay Zone is created, it shall be indicated upon the zoning map of the city as an overlay zone.
(B) The regulations set forth in this subchapter shall apply to all land within the city for which Planned Development Overlay Zone has been adopted by the City Council. The location and boundaries of the overlay zone hereby established are shown on the zoning map.
(Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)
§ 153.100.030 USE REGULATIONS.¶
Only those uses permitted within the underlying zone classification shall be permitted within the Planned Development Overlay zone.
(Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)
§ 153.100.040 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.¶
(A) Development Plan conformance. All lots and structures within the Planned Development Overlay zone shall comply with the development standards set forth in the applicable adopted Development Plan document.
(B) Development standards. No property within any residential zone shall be considered for application of a Planned Development Overlay Zone unless the associated development permit includes provisions that meet the requirements set forth in Table 153.100.040.
