18.55.020 Standards and Requirements.
The following regulations shall apply in a P-D District, which district shall also be subject to other provisions of this title, except that where conflict in regulation occurs, the requirements specified in this chapter or on a site plan approved pursuant to this chapter, shall apply:
A. The minimum area on which a P-D District may be established shall be four (4) acres of contiguous land. However, a P-D District may be established for an area of less than four (4) contiguous acres if the Planning Commission and the City Council find that the property is suitable as a P-D District by virtue of its relationship to adjacent parcels and their development plan (existing or proposed), unique historical character, topography, or landscaping features, or by virtue of its qualifying as an isolated problem area.
B. Land uses permitted in any other district may be permitted in the P-D District, provided such use or uses are in harmony with each other and serve to fulfill the function of the planned development, while complying with the General Plan, including the density or intensity of development prescribed for the property as shown in the General Plan.
C. Standards for lot area frontage and width, coverage, FAR, yards, building heights, landscaping and parking for uses in a P-D District shall be the standards of the zoning district governing uses most similar in nature and function to the uses proposed in the P-D District. For detached single-family residential developments, the R-1 District standards apply. For duplex development or single-family and duplex combined development, the R-2 District standards apply. For multifamily and dwelling group development, the R-3 District standards apply. Exceptions to these standards may be allowed by the Planning Commission and the City Council, when it can be demonstrated that such exceptions would result in a more desirable development and are warranted in terms of the relationship of the total proposed development or units thereof with the General Plan.
D. All land designated parks and/or open space shall be conveyed, at the option of the City, by one of the following procedures:
1. It may be conveyed to trustees provided in an indenture establishing an association of property owners or similar organization, subject to covenants running with the land, satisfactory to the City Attorney, which restrict the open space to the uses specified by the development plan, which provide for the maintenance of the open space in a manner that assures its continuing use for its intended purpose, and which provide legal means for the City to enforce these provisions;
2. It may be conveyed to the City in a manner satisfactory to the City Attorney.
E. The streets, bike paths and pedestrian ways within and bordering a P-D District shall be offered for dedication to the City. Standards for public improvements shall be governed by applicable ordinances and laws of the City or shall be as established by the City Public Works Department for the development under consideration.
