105.12.1070 Open Space PUD Review Criteria <br />The following findings shall be made by the city council prior to approval of a new or <br />amended open space planned unit development: <br />A. The proposed development is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of <br />the comprehensive plan. <br />B. All prerequisites for an open space PUD as outlined in LEC 105.12.1030 are met. <br />C. All open space PUD design standards (as outlined in LEC 105.12.1050) and all open <br />space development standards (as outlined in LEC 105.12.1060) are met; or if <br />deviations are proposed, that all such deviations are supported because they achieve <br />the following three goals: <br />1. The deviations allow for higher quality building and site design that will <br />enhance aesthetics of the site; <br />2. The deviations help to create a more unified environment within the project <br />boundaries by ensuring one or more of the following: architectural <br />compatibility of all structures, efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, <br />enhanced landscaping and site features, and/or efficient use of utilities; and <br />3. The overall design provides appropriate solutions to eliminate adverse <br />impacts that proposed deviations may impose on surrounding lands. <br />D. If the proposed PUD involves construction over two or more phases, the applicant <br />has demonstrated that each phase is capable of being a stand-alone development <br />independent of other phases. <br />HISTORY <br />Adopted by Ord. 08-253 on 11/3/2021 <br />105.12.1080 Open Space PUD Review Procedure <br />All requests to establish an open space planned unit development shall be initiated by <br />following the steps below: <br />A. PUD preliminary plan. <br />1. Pre-application conference. Before filing of an application for OP planned unit <br />development with the city, the applicant of the proposed OP planned unit <br />development shall arrange for and attend a conference with the planning <br />director, city engineer and other city staff. The primary purpose of the <br />conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather <br />information and obtain guidance as to the general suitability of his proposal <br />for the area for which it is proposed and its conformity to the provisions of <br />this subchapter before incurring substantial expense in the preparation of <br />plans, surveys and other data. No application for an open space PUD <br />preliminary plan will be accepted by the city unless an applicant's proposal <br />is distinctly similar to one reviewed by city staff in the required pre- <br />application conference. <br />2. PUD preliminary plan submittal requirements. Except as may be waived by <br />the director of planning community development director, the following
