The PUD zone district is intended to enable and encourage flexibility of design and devel- opment of land in such manner as to promote its most appropriate use. The PUD also allows diversification in the relationship of various uses, structures and spaces. Planned unit developments, involving the careful application of design, are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleas- ing and harmonious living and working envi- ronment within the city which otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the regu- lations of specific zoning districts. The PUD zone district is designed to accommodate vari- ous types of developments, such as shopping centers, single-family housing developments, multiple-family housing developments, pro- fessional and administrative areas, commercial service centers and industrial parks, or any other use or combination of uses that can be made appropriately a part of a PUD. The proposed development shall be designed to produce an environment with a sta- ble and desirable character and shall provide standards of open space and permanently reserved areas for off-street parking adequate for the occupancy proposed, and at least equiv- alent to those required elsewhere by the provi- sions of this title for such use. In case of residential development, it should include pro- visions for recreation areas to meet the needs of the anticipated population. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

This zone district is consistent with the mixed use—planned development land use designation. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

Subject to issuance of a building permit, business license or other required permit(s), the following uses are permitted in the PUD zone district without need for a planned develop- ment permit, provided there is no division of property: A. Single-family dwellings. B. Group care home of clients pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code subject to review for overconcentration. C. Small family daycare facilities. D. Parks, picnic areas and playgrounds associated with approved development. E. Second dwelling units, pursuant to Sec- tion 18.32.180. F. Supportive housing. G. Transitional housing. (Ord. 219 § 9 (part), 2014; Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

The following uses are permitted in the PUD zone district as accessory to the primary per-

179-45 (Revised 5-17) mitted or conditionally permitted use without need for a planned development permit, pro- vided there is no division of property: A. Garage or carport. B. Swimming pool. C. Fences, walls consistent with the provi- sions of Section 18.32.050. D. Home occupation consistent with the provisions of Section 18.32.030. E. Usual and customary structures associ- ated with a residence. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

Upon approval and validation of a condi- tional use permit, in addition to any other per- mits or licenses required for the use, the following uses are permitted in the PUD zone district without need for a planned develop- ment permit, provided there is no division of property. Setbacks and development criteria may be amended during the conditional use permit process: A. Large family daycare facilities. B. Places of assembly or learning: 1. Church or other place of worship or spiritual assembly. 2. Grange halls, community centers, meet- ing halls. 3. Schools, public or private. C. Public and quasi-public facilities. D. Buildings and structures taller than specified in Section 18.10.040(B). E. Emergency shelters. F. Other uses similar to those listed in this section. (Ord. 219 § 9 (part), 2014; Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

The standards of site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, distances between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities and landscaped areas need not be equivalent to the standards prescribed for the regulations for other districts which involve similar uses if the applicant has demonstrated, by his or her design proposal, that the objec- tives of this title will be achieved. The average population density per net acre may not exceed the maximum population den- sity prescribed in the general plan. Since planned developments may also involve the subdivision process, the applicant must be pre- pared to show what changes in conventional street and lot design will be necessary to achieve the desired goals. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

No use shall be permitted, and no process, equipment or material shall be employed, which is found by the city council to be objec- tionable to persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property located in the vicinity by reason of odor, fumes, dust, smoke, cinders, dirt, refuse, water-carried wastes, noise, vibration, illuminations, glare, unsightli- ness or heavy truck traffic or to involve any hazard of fire or explosion. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

for a development plan. Prior to development of properties within the PUD zone district that includes subdivision of property, the owner/applicant shall submit an application to the city: A. The application shall be accompanied by a development plan of the entire site, drawn to scale and showing the contours of the site in intervals of not more than five feet and provi- sions for: stormwater detention, public utility rights-of-way; streets; public and private

179-46 (Revised 5-17) access; driveways and sidewalks; off-street parking and loading facilities; reservations and dedications for public uses; residential uses, including dwelling types; nonresidential uses, including types; lot layout, including set- backs; heights and elevations of structures; and landscaped areas. B. In addition to the data prescribed in sub- section (A) of this section, the application shall be accompanied by a tabulation of the area pro- posed to be devoted to each land use and a tab- ulation of the average population density per net acre and per gross acre in the area or areas proposed to be devoted to residential use. C. The application shall also be accompa- nied by text that establishes development stan- dards for the PUD including lot sizes, setbacks, building heights, parking requirements, etc. D. A written statement setting forth the source of water supply, method of sewage dis- posal and provisions for maintenance of land- scaped areas. E. Proposed parcel or subdivision map consistent with the development plan. Upon approval of a parcel map or tentative subdivision map in accordance with the proce- dures prescribed by the Subdivision Map Act, the city council may issue a final approval of the applicant’s proposal if it makes the follow- ing findings: 1. That the proposed location of the planned development is in accordance with the objectives of this title; 2. That the proposed location of the planned development and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or be materially injurious to proper- ties or improvements in the vicinity; 3. That the proposed planned development will comply with each of the applicable provi- sions of this section; 4. That the standards of population den- sity, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, heights of structures, distance between structures, off-street parking and off- street loading facilities and landscaped areas will produce an environment of stable and desirable character consistent with the objec- tives of the city of Dorris; 5. That the standards of population den- sity, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structures, distances between structures and off-street parking and off-street loading facilities will be such that the development will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion and will not overload utilities; 6. That the combination of different dwell- ing types and variety of land uses in the devel- opment will complement each other and will harmonize with existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity; 7. The proposed planned development or the first use or group of uses can be substan- tially completed within two years after the dis- trict is established. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)
