Chapter 17.46 — PPZ PRECISE PLANNED ZONE

The following regulations set forth in this chapter shall apply in a precise planned zone.

(Ord. 218 § 1(part), 1981: prior code § 11-1-2201)

A precise planned zone may be established after the planning commission and the city council, respectively, have by resolution found as follows:

A.

The area proposed to be so zoned is generally suitable for the uses permitted in the particular zone classification proposed to be applied to the area, being one of the zone classifications elsewhere established in this title; but for reasons affecting the public health, safety, comfort, and general welfare, orderly physical growth and development of the city, or any of such reasons, it would not otherwise be appropriate to so zone or classify the area, unless the land uses permitted in the area are subject to a precise plan as herein mentioned; or

B.

The proposed precise plan is particularly suitable to the orderly physical growth and development of a particular area of the city, subject to the general zone classification presently in effect in such area; and

C.

The proposed precise plan will provide benefits and safeguards equal to or greater than those that would be provided by the regulations applicable to the proposed or existing zone classification, as the case may be, with respect to the public health, safety comfort and general welfare, orderly physical growth and development of the city; and

D.

All of the owners of the property within the proposed precise planned zone have consented to adoption of the precise plan, in writing on file with the planning commission.

(Ord. 218 § 1(part), 1980: prior code § 11-1-2202)

A.

A precise plan for a particular precise planned zone may contain regulations and plans relating to the types of uses, location, height and bulk of buildings and other improvements, buildable area and open spaces about buildings, traffic control within such zone, arrangement, design and dimensions of streets, alleys, pedestrian ways and parking and loading areas, screening of uses from visibility from adjacent areas or public ways, either within or without the zone, by fencing or landscaping, and such other matters as in the determination of the commission and council may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter.

B.

The precise plan shall be embodied in a map or a written statement, or a combination of same, which shall constitute a part of the zoning map and this chapter.

C.

The zone shall be designated on the zoning map by use of the symbol which is otherwise used to designate the general zone classification for such zone, followed by the letter P, to indicate that such is a precise planned zone. The precise plan shall be designated by an identifying serial number, which shall appear on the zoning map following the aforementioned symbols designating the zone, and which serial number shall appear on any map, plan or written statement in which the precise plan is embodied. The provisions of this subsection shall be deemed to be directory rather than mandatory.

(Ord. 218 § 1(part), 1980: prior code § 11-1-2203)

A.

The zone and the approved precise plan therefor and any amendments thereto shall be established by ordinance, upon making the findings mentioned in Section 17.46.020, and after the same proceedings as in the case of other zones mentioned in this title.

B.

The precise planned zone may be established at any time, either concurrently with and as a part of the same proceedings for the establishment or change of a zone classification or with respect to any established zone.

(Ord. 218 § 1(part), 1980: prior code § 11-1-2204)

A.

The use of land and the erection, reconstruction or structural alteration and use of buildings and structures located in a precise planned zone shall be in conformity with the precise plan, and shall also be in conformity with and subject to all other regulations and provisions which apply, or thereafter apply, to the general zone classification of the precise planned zone to the extent that they are not contrary to the express provisions or general intent of the precise plan.

B.

The provisions of a precise plan shall in any case be subject to the provisions of Chapter 17.62 relating to nonconforming uses and structures.

(Ord. 218 § 1(part), 1980: prior code § 11-1-2205)
