TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees Owasso Economic Development Authority FROM: Karl Fritschen Community Development Director SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment Chapter 8, Planned Unit Developments and Overlay Districts DATE: August 9, 2012 BACKGROUND: The Quality of Life Initiative Final Report that was adopted by the City Council in April 2011 included guidelines for the future development of Owasso. One area where citizens expressed interest during the public workshops and through the on -line Wikiplanning survey was ensuring that our neighborhoods were safe, attractive, sustainable, and livable. Subsequent to receiving these comments, staff renewed its review of the Zoning Code in greater detail to determine where improvements could be made that follow the principals of the Quality of Life Initiative. The PUD (Planned Unit Development) process is the preferred vehicle of choice for developers of single family subdivisions in Owasso. Nearly all new subdivisions being platted are using the PUD process. The main reason for this is the flexibility allowed in lot size dimension. The RS -2 and RS -3 by -right zoning districts restrict the lot widths to 75 feet and 65 feet respectively, however the market has changed in the past ten years, with both home and lot sizes seeing reductions in size. The most common request for lot widths with new PUD applications is 50 feet, which is 15 feet less than what the RS -3 zoning district allows. Flexibility is the key principal used in the PUD process. A PUD is essentially negotiated zoning and as such the developer is asking for relief to the underlying by -right zoning restrictions. What most cities, including Owasso have done, is to allow this flexibility in exchange for additional amenities or open space as part of the development. While this has worked to some degree in Owasso, there have been some inconsistencies in terms of the amenities being provided and usable areas of open space. Additionally, staff has encountered several PUD's that were approved over 5 years ago that were never activated, primarily due the slowdown in the economy. The current ordinance is ambiguous with respect to what constitutes an amenity, useable open space, what happens to an expired PUD and what determines if it is expired or not. Additionally, the ordinance is silent on what the minimum requirements are for a PUD submission and exactly how much density is allowed and how it is measured. Owasso has had great success through the use and implementation of PUD's and these proposed changes would only strengthen the PUD process. REASON FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE: Considering the aforementioned information, staff developed a completely new draft for the PUD section in Chapter 8 of the zoning code. The proposed amendments to Chapter 8 of the Zoning Code are more comprehensive, include diagrams and pictures, and establish a level and predictable playing field for all applicants choosing to use the PUD method for develop, while at the same time ensure sustainable quality development. Furthermore, the amendments will help ensure a higher quality standard and consistency throughout the entire community, which maintains and increases property values. SUMMARY OF IMPROVMENTS Attached is a summary of the improvements of the proposed text amendment to Chapter 8, of the Zoning Code. TIMELINE This item is being presented to the OEDA for information and dialogue and will be brought back to the Authority in August 2012. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Summary of Improvements 2. Proposed Chapter 8, Planned Unit Developments and Overlay Districts Highlights of PUD Chapter Changes • Open Space Old Code: Simply states that open space "must be an essential element of the Plan ". New Code: Requires that projects have 20% open space (excluding rights of way and utility easements) as a percentage of the gross acreage and that 25% of this area be developed and maintained for active or passive recreation. • Expiration Old Code: Somewhat ambiguous. Parts of the code imply it is valid only for three (3) years if no building permit has been issued, while others areas state that a PUD expires in 2 (two) years if no final development plan has been submitted and seems to mix language between final development plan and a plat. The code makes no reference as to what construes a final development plan. There is also some language that alludes to a contract that guarantees completion of any single phase within five (5) years, or the project can be revoked by the Planning Commission. New Code: Clearly states that if any portion of the project or if a building permit is issued within five (5) years after approval by the City Council, the project is validated. If none of these items occur, then the project is considered expired and must be re- approved. There is also a clearly outlined process for asking for an extension, whereas the current code provides no guidance in this area. • Amenities Old Code: Some amenities are required based upon the density proposed. New Code: The new code builds upon the old code, but clarifies the amenities required based on the type of development and density. A table is provided that allows the designer to customize their amenity package based on the density proposed. There is also more emphasis on providing amenities for residential development. At least four (4) types of amenities are required for any PUD, and if a neighborhood proposes a higher density than 4 units per acre, one additional amenity from any category shall be required for each 0.5 units per acre over 4. • Major and Minor Amendments Old Code: These are outlined in the existing code. New Code: These will be similar to the existing code, but with a clearly defined process and description of what construes and a major and minor amendment. • Minimum Requirements for Conceptual Development Plans Old Code: Required, but somewhat unclear as to what should be included in the conceptual development plan. Most developers provide the necessary documentation, but there are some areas that are a vague in terms of what is actually required. New Code: Ensures that correct and uniform information is provided that will assist the decision - making bodies in reviewing the project. The plans will also work with the design intent statement to fully articulate what the development will look like. • Design Intent Statement Old Code: Not required New Code: Adds more specificity as to what are the minimum requirements. The design intent statement is an important document because it is a part of the PUD approval. It outlines the plan, the design, covenants, timeline, and other important aspects of the project. • Neighborhood Meeting Old Code: Not required New Code: A neighborhood meeting would be required prior to the item being heard by the Planning Commission. This is a great opportunity for the developer to present the item to surrounding property owners, gain input, listen to concerns, and possibly make changes that would benefit both parties. It also helps the developer with gaining approval at the Planning Commission and City Council, because they can say they worked with the neighbors and listened to their concerns. CHAPTER 8 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS 8.1 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a special zoning overlay that provides alternatives to conventional land development. Upon approval, it becomes a supplement to the existing zoning of the subject property. A PUD is also a means of encouraging creative development of land and promotes project design that is often unseen in conventional development. A PUD shall not be seen as a tool to circumvent the zoning and subdivisions regulations of the City of Owasso, but rather as a tool for intelligent, well - planned, and quality developments that fit within Owasso's existing neighborhoods and context of the surrounding area. A PUD provides flexibility to allow for the development on properties with unique physical characteristics by promoting innovative design and providing guidelines which ensure that development is beneficial to the City of Owasso's future growth. While great flexibility is given to provide special restrictions which will allow development not otherwise permitted, procedures are established herein to ensure against misuse of the increased flexibility. 8.2 GOALS Because PUD's allow greater flexibly than otherwise would be allowed with the base zoning, there are specific goals that need to be accomplished with each application. All PUD's shall be evaluated on their ability to accomplish the following: 1. Maintain and Enhance the Quality of Life in Owasso 2. Provide Opportunities for Urban Infill 3. Maintain and Promote a Sense of Community 4. Encourage Development That Otherwise Could Not Occur on the Site 5. Preserve and Provide Meaningful Open Space 6. Promote Connectivity and Compatibility with Surrounding Development 7. Inspire Unique and Thoughtful Development 8. Support the Development of Strong Neighborhoods 9. Provide Amenities Beyond Conventional Development 10. Preserve the Physical Characteristics of the Land 8.3 APPLICABILITY 1. A PUD may be submitted for any parcel of land located within any general zoning district or combination of general zoning districts within the Owasso City Limits. In all cases, the PUD will be reviewed as to the proposed location and character of the uses and the unified treatment of the development of the tract. The regulations of the general zoning district or districts remain applicable except as specifically modified pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. 2. Approval of a Conceptual Development Plan is required prior to development of a PUD district. Comprehensive Development Plans are subject to recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. 3. This PUD chapter shall complement the other sections of the Owasso Zoning Code. In instances where the requirements are conflicting, the Community Development Administrator shall determine the correct action. 4. A Conceptual Development Plan shall be submitted concurrently with a request for rezoning. 8.4 MINIMUM STANDARDS A. DENSITY By their very nature, PUD's are designed to develop parcels of land with unique or unusual, natural or man -made conditions. In order to promote development that makes use of and preserves such unique features, it may be necessary to cluster density within developments. If clustering of density is proposed, additional amenities shall be provided; the design shall promote and maintain useable open space; and a layout shall be provided that complements the existing conditions of the site. All PUD's shall calculate density based upon the gross area of the tract, which may include flood plains, rights of way, or easements to provide an overall gross density for the project that shall be expressed in units per acre. The gross density calculations shall be provided within the PUD Design and Intent Statement. 1. Single - Family Residential Densities - A residential PUD shall not exceed a gross density above five (5) dwelling units per acre for single - family residential developments. Should a development propose a density higher than five (5) units per acre, written justification shall be provided explaining the rationale of the decision and additional amenities shall be provided to mitigate the increased densities. 2. Multi - Family Residential Densities - Multi - family densities shall be consistent with Chapter 4 of the Owasso Zoning Code. All multi - family residential developments shall be accomplished through a PUD. B. LAND USE PERCENTAGES In any residential PUD, at least 20% of the gross area of the tract shall be devoted to open space, common areas or amenities. Rights -of -way and utility easements shall not apply to open space calculations. C. PRESERVATION OF TREES AND OTHER NATURAL FEATURES PUD's shall be designed to preserve and enhance the existing physical characteristics of the land and the natural vegetation that exists on the land. Projects that require clear cutting or denuding of large tracts of land for development are discouraged. Trees in excess of eight (8) inches in caliper shall be preserved and worked into the overall design of the project, unless the applicant can provide substantial justification to remove said trees. Tree preservation credits shall be applied to all landscaping plans and additional landscaping shall be required for projects that remove excessive healthy vegetation. D. SCREENING AND BUFFERING Screening is an important part of any PUD proposal, especially when incompatible uses are proposed within the PUD, or exist in adjoining developments. Screening may be employed in the form of: 1. Fencing - Natural materials are encouraged; 2. Walls - Stone, brick, split -faced block, or decorative materials shall be used. 3. Berms - Berms may be used in combination with vegetation or fencing to achieve the desired result. 4. Vegetation - Vegetation provides a screening mechanism that can be efficient and aesthetically pleasing. In many cases, leaving the natural vegetation as a means of screening achieves the desired results. 5. New vegetation may be planted that also achieves the intent of this section. Materials and sizes of vegetation shall be provided with the required Conceptual Development Plan and conform to Chapter 20 of the Zoning Code. Buffer yards shall be provided at all boundaries of the PUD where higher intensity or higher density uses adjoin existing tracts that are of a lower intensity or density. An example of this may be 5000 SF lots adjoining an existing single family development containing 20,000 SF lots. Buffers shall vary in size depending on the use or the density of the development, but in shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width. Vegetation and screening is required in buffer yards. E. TRANSITION OF USES Great care shall be given as to the location of the more intense uses or densities within the PUD. Transition shall be achieved when possible by placing less intense uses along the perimeter of the PUD area with more intense uses near the center of the PUD. For example, if a PUD is proposed in an area that abuts mostly acreage lots, the PUD should place larger lots meeting RE or RS -1 standards along the perimeter and move towards smaller lots within the core of the PUD area or along arterial streets. If transition cannot be achieved, a large and well - vegetated buffer should be provided. F. CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE PLAN REQUIRED Each PUD shall require a landscape concept plan at the time of submittal. The landscape plan shall depict general locations for landscaping, but shall not be required to go into great detail on the conceptual plan. Trees, however, shall be shown on the conceptual landscape plan. More detailed landscape plans may be required in the later stages of the development process in conformance with the City's adopted landscape requirements, or if the Administrator or Planning Commission deems it necessary during at the conceptual landscape phase. G. ADHERENCE TO CITY LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS All adopted landscape requirements shall be met by any PUD. A PUD shall provide landscaping that exceeds the City's minimum requirements in order to meet the goals, purpose, and criteria outlined in the PUD ordinance. H. SITE DEVELOPMENT 1. Low - Impact Design (LID) Criteria All PUD proposals are encouraged to incorporate LID techniques. Utilizing LID techniques can greatly reduce infrastructure costs and can be incorporated into common areas and open space. Some LID design possibilities are: Bio- retention areas (rain gardens), Green roofs, Permeable paving or driveways, Cisterns, Vegetated Swales, and Impervious Surface Reduction. All PUD's are encouraged to define how LID principles shall be applied. 2. Grading and Site Disturbance PUD sites shall not be denuded of all vegetation. Great care should be given to developing drainage and grading plans that incorporate natural areas and preserve the topography and vegetation of the PUD area. All creeks or perennial streams shall have a minimum of a 20 foot undisturbed buffer measured from the top of the stream or creek bank and shall be included into the design of the PUD whenever possible. 3. Adherence to City, State, and Federal Requirements All grading and drainage plans shall meet all City, State and Federal requirements. I. PARKING AND CIRCULATION The developer shall provide plans that depict the safe and efficient movement of vehicles throughout the PUD. For any PUD that proposes more than two - hundred (200) residential units, a traffic study shall be provided to the City of Owasso for review. All Federal, State, and City regulations shall be met by the PUD proposal. All parking areas, driveways or other means of vehicular access shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Owasso Zoning Code. J. OPEN SPACE At least 25% of the provided open space shall be developed and maintained for active or passive recreational activities. The remainder should be kept as marshland, wildlife areas, woodlands, creeks, etc. At least 10% of the above reference area shall be out of the floodplain (100 Year), floodway.. K. COMMON AREAS Common areas shall be provided throughout the development for the use and enjoyment of the residents of the surrounding area. Common areas promote social interaction and help to create a sense of community. L. AMENITIES REQUIRED Any residential PUD development shall provide at least one (1) amenity from each of the categories from the Table 8 -1. 1) For any residential development that proposes a gross density of more than four (4) units per acre, one an additional amenity from any category shall be required for each 0.5 units per acre over 4. 2) A developer may propose any amenity not provided on the list and an explanation of what category it should fall under. The Community Development Administrator, the Planning Commission, or the City Council shall determine if an amenity is acceptable. 3) Amenities may be combined into one or more park /recreation areas. (i.e. pool with a club house or a park area with a basketball court, playground, and walking trails). 4) Park and recreation areas shall be placed in a centralized location within the development so it is convenient and accessible. 5) Any standing water feature or pond shall be re- circulated through a fountain, waterfall, or other aeration device. This requirement applies to any storm retention pond that is maintains a pool elevation of water. TABLE 8 -1, REQUIRED AMENITIES CATEGORY AMENITY FEATURE SPORTS FIELDS, TENNIS COURTS, BASKETBALL COURTS, ACTIVE RECREATION VOLLEYBALL COURT, DISC GOLF COURSE, SKATE FACILITIES, BIKE PATHS, HIKING TRAILS FISHING POND, NATURE PRESERVE AREAS OF AT LEAST 2 ACRES, HORSE SHOE PIT, WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA (IF PASSIVE RECREATION ADJACENT TO PRESERVED HABITAT), CAMP GROUNDS, EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES, MEDITATION AREA, WALKING PATHS OR TRAILS DOG PARKS, PICNIC AREAS, PAVILLIONS, OUTDOOR PUBLIC GATHERING AREAS AMPHITHEATRE, CLUBHOUSE, GAZEBO, BBQ AREA, DOCK AREAS, COMMUNITY GARDEN, PARK AREA FAMILY RECREATIONAL AREAS TOT LOT, SPLASH PAD, SWIMMING POOL, PLAYGROUND M. CONSISTENCY WITH LAND USE PLAN Any proposed PUD shall be developed in accordance with the adopted Owasso Land Use Master Plan. The PUD shall meet the Goals, Objectives and Action Strategies stated within the plan. N. COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT Each PUD shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding development in the area. If the proposed development is not in character with the surrounding area, the PUD shall show how the development can be screened or employs techniques that will mitigate the incompatibility. 8.5 PROCEDURE A. PRE - APPLICATION MEETING A pre- application meeting is required prior to submitting a formal application for the proposed PUD project. This step offers the developer a chance to meet with City staff to discuss ideas related to the development of a PUD on a piece of property. City staff from different departments shall be available to discuss the project, answer questions and provide information to the developer. B. SUBMITTAL OF DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 1. After submittal of a completed PUD application packet with all required information, the Administrator shall provide a professional review of the project and shall assist the developer in understanding the PUD process. 2. The Administrator shall require sufficient detail in the Conceptual Development Plan to provide an opportunity for the reviewing bodies to make informed decisions and evaluate compliance with the applicable approval criteria. 3. The Administrator shall provide recommendations regarding changes or additions to the PUD that would make the project more consistent with the goals, purpose and standards of the PUD outlined in this chapter. Upon completion of a successful application, the PUD shall be placed on the next available Planning Commission Agenda. C. TECHNICAL ADVIOSRY COMMITTEE (TAC) 1. Prior to the Planning Commission, the City of Owasso's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) shall review the PUD proposal and all supporting documentation. 2. The TAC shall provide comments to the developer regarding utilities, engineering, planning, and project design. 3. All TAC comments shall be addressed by the developer prior to the PUD being reviewed by the Planning Commission or City Council. D. REQUIRED PUBLIC MEETING At least seven (7) calendar days prior to the project being heard by the Planning Commission, the applicant shall hold a neighborhood meeting to introduce the project to neighboring property owners and receive input about potential issues with the development. The applicant shall provide written notice about the meeting to all property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property. The meeting shall give the developer an opportunity to address potential issues, answer development - related questions, and bring forward a project that is consistent with the surrounding development of the area. City Staff will be present to answer procedural and City- related questions, but will otherwise observe and report on the discussions held at the meeting. E. PLANNING COMMISSION It shall be the duty of the Planning Commission to review each PUD prior to consideration of the City Council. 1. The Planning Commission shall perform detailed analysis of the project and make recommendations to the applicant and the City Council. 2. The Planning Commission shall receive staff's input, hear from the general public, and engage the developer in discussion of the project. 3. The Planning Commission shall address any potential issues that they feel the project has and suggest design alternatives to create a project that meets the goals, purpose, and criteria identified in this chapter. 4. The Planning Commission shall make one of the following recommendations to the City Council. a) Move to recommend denial of the application b) Move to recommend approval of the application as presented c) Move to recommend approval of the application with conditions 5. Should the Planning Commission need more information, the item can be tabled until the next meeting or until information requested is provided. 6. No proposal may continue to the City Council until the Planning Commission has made a recommendation to the City Council. 7. If any major changes are made to the plans or new information is brought forward after review by the Planning Commission, the City Council may ask that the project return to the Planning Commission for review. F. CITY COUNCIL The City Council shall make the final decision on any PUD application. A final PUD plan shall be approved along with an Ordinance. The approved ordinance and PUD development plan shall dictate any future development on the subject property, unless the PUD is amended or the PUD is allowed to expire. The City Council shall use the information provided by City staff, the recommendation from the Planning Commission, and the input from the public and the project developer to approve or deny and proposed PUD. 1. The City Council may add conditions to the project that they feel are necessary to meet the intent of the PUD Ordinance. 2. Should the City Council require more information; the item can be tabled to a future meeting. 3. All conditions imposed by the Council shall become binding and shall be met before the project may proceed. PUD PROCESS FLOW CHART 8.6 TIMELINE AND EXPIRATION A. VALIDATION A PUD shall be validated once any portion of the property has been platted and recorded or a building permit is approved. B. ZONING ORDINANCE Because a PUD is a zoning action approved through City Council by Ordinance, the City shall file the ordinance approving the designation of a PUD on a tract of land, with the County Clerk's Office upon platting and recording any portion of the PUD. C. EXPIRATION For any PUD in which there has been no building permit issued nor any portion of the property platted after five (5) years since approval by the City Council, the PUD shall be considered null and void and shall be brought back before the Planning Commission and City Council for re- approval prior to any development on the property. Upon approval of the PUD by the City Council, the Administrator shall transmit in writing the date by which the PUD will expire. Commentary: PUD's are approved with underlying zoning. The underlining zoning of the site shall not expire, only the PUD overlay shall expire. D. EXTENSIONS An extension may be granted by the Administrator for PUD's that are nearing the 5 year expiration date. PUD's may be extended one (1) time for a maximum of two (2) additional years, provided a letter is submitted to the Administrator asking for the extension no less than two (2) months prior to the five (5) year expiration date. Said letter must indicate the following: 1. Reason for the extension 2. That there are no changes to the original PUD approved by the City Council. 3. Expected date by which a portion of the PUD will be platted It shall be the developing party's responsibly to ask for and sign the letter of extension. If no extension has been sought and granted, said PUD shall be considered expired and must be re- approved by the Planning Commission and City Council following the process prescribed in this Chapter. If no portion of the property has been platted nor any building permit received by the Community Development Department, within the two (2) year extension period, said PUD shall expire and a new PUD application must be submitted. 8.7 AMENDMENTS There may be instances when a change or amendment to the original PUD is necessary or desired. In these situations, the magnitude of these amendments is considered. There are two types of amendments that can occur with a valid PUD, a major amendment and a minor amendment. A. MAJOR AMENDMENT A major amendment is described as a significant change that increases the density, intensifies the use, or creates inconsistencies with the character of the PUD that was initially approved shall proceed through the entire PUD process as outlined in this chapter. 1. The Administrator shall determine if the changes to the PUD meet the criteria for a major amendment, is an appropriate change, and will maintain the spirit of what was approved in the original PUD. 2. An appeal from the Administrators decision that the changes to the PUD construe a major amendment shall be made in writing by filing a notice of appeal to the Planning Commission within ten (10) days of the Administrators decision. Said appeal shall be heard a regular meeting of the Planning Commission, at which time the applicant defend his proposal. Appeals shall not require public notification. Small changes that meet the intent of the ordinance, do not increase the density, are consistent with surrounding development, and do not pose a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of the City of Owasso can be administratively approved as a Minor Amendment. Minor amendments may also include relocation of landscape areas, parking areas, drive aisles, or other similar changes that are minor in scope. 1. Minor amendments shall be approved administratively and may only be required to go before the Technical Advisory Committee(TAC). 8.8 COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN A. CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN The required conceptual plan shall be a rendered plan that clearly articulates the overall concept of the PUD. Figure 8.1 illustrates an acceptable conceptual site plan rendering. The site plan shall include the entire PUD area, and may include site plans of smaller areas to provide more specificity if the development is large. 1. The site plan shall include, at a minimum, the following: a) Name of the proposed development. b) Name and address of the property owner and developer. c) Name of the preparer of the document. d) Graphic scale drawn at a scale no smaller than 1:100, a north arrow, date of preparation, and a legend. Vicinity map outlining the location of the development in relation to major streets within 1000 feet, schools, and other landmarks. The County where the development lies shall be depicted. e) Legal description of the property shall be provided. Total acreage of the tract, total acreage of the proposed area to be improved, and acreage of open space. Location and name of abutting subdivisions and City Limit Lines. f) Wooded areas, wetlands, waterways, floodplain and floodway, ponds and other natural features shall be depicted. g) Location of all proposed streets. h) Location of each proposed building (single- family residences or duplexes not required) i) Proposed density of the development depicted in gross density figures (gross units per acre of the entire development) j) Location and identification of all land uses within the PUD shall be depicted. Identification of all amenity locations, detention areas, open space areas, etc shall be clearly depicted. k) Location of parking areas. l) Depiction of any proposed walking trails, pathways, and buffer yards, including fences. m) Notation on the plan of how wide the buffer yards will be and how they will be landscaped n) Location and type of amenities provided Figure 8.7 -1 B. COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT Should a conceptual site plan be provided that goes into sufficient detail necessary for submittal of a preliminary plat, the plan may be used as the preliminary plat for the PUD project.
