SUBJ: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TflE ZONING ORDINANCE
AND KUNICIPAL CODE
------------------
Attached are five Zoning Ordinance amendments and one
Municipal Code change . As you recall , the Committee
directed me to make two of the changes . The first being
an amendment to the off-street parking requirements for
recreational vehicles , and the second being the addition
of the deleted section in CABO referencing pre-fabricated
construction.
The remaining four amendments are what I consider
"housekeeping" changes . These four amendments will
correct conflicts that exist within the Zoning Ordinance .
For each amendment I have photocopied the pages and
highlighted the sections from the Zoning Ordinance that
are in conflict .
Thank you .

Re: Proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
Section XI Planned_Unit Development,_B_ Qualifications_for Filin� as a PUD sub_section La�:
CURRENT TEXT OF ORDINANCE
(a.) is at least two (2) acres in size�
PROPOSED TEXT OF ORDINANCE
(a. ) is at least five (5) acres in size;
note:
This Section is in conflict with the definition on page 497, Planned Unit Development (PUD) ,
of Ordinance, which requires that PUD be a tract of land of five acres or more.
XI. PLANNED UNIT DEYELOPMENT
A. PURPOSE
The provisions of this section are intended for special situations in which:
a, adequate space, 1 ight, ' air, and other objectives of this
Ord i nance rel at i ng to the publ i c heal th, sa fety , and wel fare can
be achieved without the 1 iteral appl ication of the detail ed
zoning and subdivision requirements otherwise appl icabl e; and
b. sp��cial amenities and benefits to the comnunity beyond those
required by .�this and other City ordinances can be achieved by
al� owing more fl exibl e design than is otherwise permitted by '
City zoning and subdivision regulations.
These objectives can be achieved where a substantial area of land is
planned for development as an integrated unit and where its� design is
subject to more detailed review and a pproval by the City than is normally
requ i red.
The objective of �Planned Unit Devel,opment .(PUD) is therefore not simply to
. all ow exceptions to otherwise appl icabl e regulations. It is instead to
encourage a higher level of design and amenity than it is possible to
achieve under the usual land development requirements. ,
It is therefore the intent of the City to suspend the application of
detailed zoning and subdivision standards as provided herein only where
such special amenity is achieved. In this way the City may grant the
creative devel oper a desirabl e fl exibil ity and at the same time not only
protect but enhance the welfare of the residents and other users of a
development as well as the rest of the community.
B. QUALIFICATION FOR.FILING AS A PUD
A Planned Unit Devel opment may be devel oped in any district in which
Pl anned Unit Devel opments are all awed as Conditional Uses.
No development shall be filed as a Planned Unit Development unless it:
. a, is at least 2. acres in size; and
� h contains more than two detached buildings accomnodating •
principal uses; and
c. is initially under the same ownership or control .
A Planned Unit Development may be residential , commercial , office,
industrial , or a combination thereof. Fl exibil ity to suspend requirements
imposed elsewhere is not conferred upon the PUD applicant as a matter of
right but is in all cases subject to a finding by the City that the
objectives of these provisions will be served thereby.
