909.02.D.1 Purpose

The purpose of the RP provisions contained in this chapter and in applicable provisions of the Subdivision Regulations and Standards is to permit greater flexibility in the design and development of residential areas than is generally possible under the residential zoning district regulations. The regulations established hereunder permit a variety of housing structure types and associated facilities to be developed in a planned setting without some of the constraints imposed in other residential districts. The regulations are intended to encourage innovation in housing design and residential area site planning in order to meet the housing and related needs of the City's diverse population; to promote economic and efficient use of land; to provide a high level of urban amenities; and to protect the natural environment of the planned unit development site and of areas which may be affected by development on the site. It is also the intention of these regulations to prevent negative impacts upon nearby areas by limiting the intensity of development in residential planned unit development districts to a level which is compatible with that in adjacent areas and which shall insure that the capacity of community facilities, utilities and transportation systems shall not be exceeded.

909.02.D.2 Uses

In the RP district, permitted uses shall be those listed in this section that are in accordance with an approved unit development plan and recorded improvement subdivision site plan. The uses listed in this section may be contained in a single structure, separate structures or combined in multi-use structures subject to approval by the Planning Commission.

(7)School, Elementary or Secondary

(9) Senior Housing (Limited and General)

(10) Multi-Suite Residential (Limited and General)

(11) Personal Care Home (Limited and General)

(812)Uses permitted By-right in the LNC district, provided such uses comprise a minor part of the development and are designed to serve primarily residents of the planned unit development and of adjacent areas which are within convenient walking distance of the planned unit development.

(913)Accessory uses and structures.

909.02.D.3 Intensity

(a)Residential Development

The maximum intensity of residential land development in an RP district shall not exceed the higher of the following:

(1)The land use intensity associated with the residential zoning classification of the site prior to rezoning; or

(2)The land use intensity which is equal to the average of the land use intensities of the zoning districts which abut the subject property according to the procedures set forth in Sec. 909.02.C.2(b).

(b)Nonresidential Development

Nonresidential development shall comply with the following standards:

(1)The floor area ratio shall not exceed 0.5.

(2)When nonresidential uses are contained in separate buildings, the coverage of land by buildings and parking for nonresidential uses shall not exceed twenty (20) percent.

(3)Twenty (20) percent of the land area developed with nonresidential uses shall be improved as urban open space.

909.02.D.4 Off-Street Parking and Loading

Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 914.

909.02.D.5 Open Space and Recreation

The following open space and recreation ratios shall apply with RPs:

(a)Total Open Space

The total open space required shall be calculated by multiplying the gross residential land area by the applicable total open space ratio.

(b)Useable Open Space

The amount of useable open space required shall be calculated by multiplying the gross residential land area by the applicable useable open space ratio.

(c)Recreation Space

The amount of recreation space required shall be calculated by multiplying the gross residential land area by the applicable recreation space ratio

(d)Table of Required Open Space and Recreation Ratios

The following minimum open space and recreation ratios shall apply:
