For Planned Developments - submit ten (10) professionally produced site plans that depict the property boundaries of the parcel,
all easements and rights-of-way, and all improvements to be located on the site to scale. If a floor plan is required, provide ten (10)
professionally produced documents that depict the layout of the building with the proposed uses of each space identified. Provide

front, rear, side), building area and site area.
Criteria Applicable to Planned Developments
Planned Developments are of such substantially different character from other special uses that specific additional standards and
criteria have been adopted to govern use exceptions in residential, business or manufacturing planned development districts. The
Plan Commission may recommend that there be in part of the area of such development and for the duration of such development,
specified uses not permitted by the use regulations of the district in which said development is located. If you are requesting a
Special Use Permit for a Planned Development, answer each of the following questions:
1. Is the exception requested necessary, desirable and appropriate with respect to the primary purpose
of the development?
2. Is the proposed uses(s) of such a nature or so located as to not exercise a detrimental influence on the
surrounding neighborhood?
3. Will no more than twenty percent (20%) of the ground area or gross floor area of such development
be devoted to the uses by said exception?
4. For manufacturing planned developments only: Will such additional uses allowed by the exception
conform with the performance standards of the district in which the development is located?

Bulk Regulations Applied to Planned Developments
In the case of any planned development, the Plan Commission may recommend and the City Council authorize exceptions to the applicable bulk regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance within the boundaries of such development provided the following criteria is met:
1. That such exception be solely for the purpose of promoting an integrated site plan no less beneficial to the residents or
occupants of such development, as well as of neighboring properties, than would be obtained under the bulk regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance for buildings developed on separate zoning lots
2. That the overall bulk of buildings of the development shall not exceed that prescribed in the Zoning Ordinance for the district in
which it is located
3. That the minimum lot area per dwelling unit requirements of the Zoning Ordinance be adhered to in any such development
containing residential uses, and that there shall be available to each residential building and immediately adjacent thereto
(including the land area upon which it is erected) the minimum amount of land area required for such building under the lot area
per dwelling unit provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
4. That spacing between principle buildings shall be at least equivalent to such spacing as would be required between buildings
similarly developed under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance on separate zoning lots, due consideration being given to the
openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys
5. That along the periphery of such planned developments, yards shall be provided as required by the regulations of the district in
which said development is located
