Chapter 17.64 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, P-D

Sections:

17.64.010 - Purpose and applicability.

The Planned Development (P-D) zoning district is intended to enable and encourage flexibility of design and development of land in such manner as to promote its most appropriate use. The P-D zoning district also allows diversification in the relationship of various uses, structures, and spaces.

Planned developments, involving the careful application of design, are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleasing and harmonious living and working environment within the city which otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the regulations of specific zoning districts. The P-D zoning district is designed to accommodate various types of developments, such as shopping centers, single-family housing developments, multifamily housing developments, professional 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 planned development.

The proposed development shall be designed to produce an environment with a stable 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 equivalent to those required elsewhere by the provisions of this title for such use. In case of residential development, it should include provisions for recreation areas to meet the needs of the anticipated population. The P-D zoning district is consistent with the Mixed Use - Planned Development land use designation.

(Ord. No. 575, § I(Exh. A), 6-29-2023)

17.64.020 - Permitted uses.

Provided there is no division of property, and subject to issuance of a building permit, business license or other required permit(s), the following uses, and uses which in the opinion of the Planning Commission are similar, are allowed as principally permitted uses in the P-D zoning district without the need for a planned development permit:

A.

Crop and tree production.

B.

Public and quasi-public facilities.

C.

Single-family residential.
