§ 2.2. PD development plans.

If the council requires as a condition of establishing the PD District and approving a PD concept plan that PD development plans be submitted prior to submittal of a PD site plan, a PD development plan may be prepared and submitted for the entire development at one time or for individual phases of development. Each required copy of the PD development plan shall be accompanied by (i) a development plan informational statement and (ii) a preliminary drainage study for the area covered by the proposed plan. If deemed necessary by the city's transportation engineer or zoning administrator, the applicant for a PD development plan shall also submit an updated traffic impact analysis prior to commission action.

A.

Submittal requirements for PD development plans.

1.

Approximations of the following: site boundaries and dimensions, lot lines, site acreage and square footage, and distances to the nearest cross streets;

2.

Location map, north arrow, title block and site data summary table;

3.

Existing land uses and zoning classifications on adjacent properties;

4.

Preliminary tree survey;

5.

Any features omitted from the PD concept plan upon council authorization; and

6.

Such additional features as are necessary to ensure compliance with conditions established by the council to be satisfied by the development plan.

B.

PD development standards. Development standards that were not specified in the PD ordinance, as authorized by the council, shall be submitted and approved as an amendment to the PD ordinance and incorporated therein, in conjunction with approval of the PD development plan.

C.

Development plan informational statement. Each PD development plan shall be accompanied by an informational statement containing the information set forth below. Informational statements shall be updated concurrently with any amendment to a PD development plan and with each PD site plan. Each informational statement shall include the following:

1.

Name and address of landowner and date of preparation of the PD development plan;

2.

Name and address of architect, landscape architect, planner, engineer, surveyor, or other persons involved in the preparation of the PD development plan;

3.

A table listing the specific permitted uses proposed for the property, and, if appropriate, the boundaries of the different land uses and the boundary dimensions;

4.

Development standards for each proposed land use, as follows:

a)

Minimum lot area;

b)

Minimum lot width and depth;

c)

Minimum front, side, and rear yard areas;

d)

Maximum height of building; and

e)

Maximum building coverage;

5.

A list of the development standards, if any (whether in the PD ordinance or in the then-existing ordinances, rules, or regulations of the city that apply to development within the PD District), for which the applicant is seeking amendment by the council as part of the PD development plan approval process;

6.

If council approval of any height increase is being requested, a view analysis of the impact of such requested variance on adjacent residential areas of the city;

7.

Preliminary and approximate building locations and building footprints;

8.

Preliminary elevations and perspectives to show the relationship of building heights to surrounding topography;

9.

Location of parking areas and structures for multi-family and nonresidential uses, including areas for off-street parking;

10.

A detailed description of how open space serving the development will be satisfied for the phase of development represented by the PD development plan, including any proposed dedications of open space to the public or to a private maintenance organization;

11.

If the PD development plan is a phase of the project (as described in the applicant's original informational statement submitted with the PD concept plan), depiction of the area subject to the development in relation to the then-current phasing plan, together with any updates of the then-current phasing plan that was submitted as part of the applicant's original informational statement; and

12.

A list identifying each proposed addition or amendment to the PD ordinance.

D.

Preliminary drainage study. Each PD development plan shall be accompanied by a preliminary drainage study for the area covered by the study. The study shall be prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Texas and experienced in the study of drainage issues.

1.

Purpose. The purposes of the drainage design policies are to prevent flooding of adjacent properties, owned by third parties and to regulate water surface elevations and peak discharges. Development within the PD District shall not produce any increase in the water surface elevation (either upstream or downstream) due to a five-year, ten-year, 50-year, or 100-year storm. If the discharge from the area proposed for development would increase the water surface elevation above predevelopment conditions on any property owned by third parties due to any of such storms, then such peak discharge must be regulated to the extent necessary to eliminate the increased water surface elevation. The regulation of discharges to eliminate such increases may be achieved using either on-site or off-site stormwater management facilities (such as detention areas, retention areas, and infiltration and sedimentation ponds).

2.

Content. The preliminary drainage study shall:

a)

Contain a topographical map of the area proposed for development to a scale not smaller than one inch equals 200 feet;

b)

Generally describe how the proposed development will comply with the drainage design policies set forth below;

c)

Include all information deemed necessary by the preparing engineer to support his determination that the proposed development will comply with the drainage design policies; and

d)

Include all information reasonably requested by the city engineer to support his review of the preliminary drainage study.

E.

Updated traffic impact analysis. If deemed necessary by the city's transportation engineer or if required by the PD ordinance, the applicant for a proposed PD development plan shall submit an updated traffic impact analysis prior to action by the commission. The purpose of the updated analysis is to determine whether the traffic estimated to be generated by the development shown on the proposed PD development plan will necessitate specific on-site or adjacent traffic improvements (e.g., turn lanes, stacking lanes, signalization, etc.) and to determine whether conditions attached to the concept plan based on the original traffic impact analysis have been met.

F.

Commission recommendation. The commission, after notice and public hearing in accordance with this Unified Development Code procedures, shall recommend to the council whether to approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove each PD development plan, together with each proposed amendments to the PD ordinance.

(Ord. No. 10-14, § 60, 7-6-2010)

G.

Council decision. Upon receipt of the commission's recommendation, the council, after notice and public hearing in accordance with this Unified Development Code procedures, shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove each PD development plan and each proposed addition or amendment to the PD ordinance.

(Ord. No. 10-14, § 60, 7-6-2010)

H.

Approval criteria. The commission, in making its recommendation to the council, and the council, in acting upon each PD development plan and proposed addition or amendment to the PD ordinance, shall determine whether the proposed PD development plan and ordinance addition or amendment meets the following criteria:

1.

The plan generally is consistent with the approved PD concept plan (including open space, trails, and thoroughfares);

2.

The plan generally is consistent with the development standards set forth in the PD ordinance;

3.

The plan satisfies any conditions established by the council in the PD ordinance relating to development plan approval;

4.

The plan is generally consistent with the standards and conditions of this Unified Development Code and of other ordinances, rules and regulations of the city (to the extent that such standards and conditions are applicable to development within the PD District);

5.

The traffic estimated to be generated by the plan is generally consistent with the original, council approved traffic impact analysis and any conditions to be satisfied at the time of the development plan approval have been met;

6.

The plan includes the necessary on-site or adjacent traffic improvements to accommodate traffic generated by the plan (e.g., turn lanes, stacking lanes, signalization, etc.); and

7.

The preliminary drainage study for the plan indicates that the proposed development can be achieved without increasing the upstream or downstream water surface elevation on property owned by third parties and that detention and drainage areas can be improved in a natural manner.

(Ord. No. 10-14, § 61, 7-6-2010)

I.

Conditions. The commission may recommend, and the council may require, such conditions to the approval of a PD development plan as are reasonably necessary to ensure that the approval criteria are met.

J.

Approving ordinance. The development plan shall be incorporated within an ordinance amending the PD ordinance and the concept plan. The amending ordinance shall set forth all standards necessary for development of the land subject to the development plan that were not included in the PD ordinance. The amending ordinance also shall repeal or amend any conditions that were attached to the PD ordinance that have been satisfied as a result of approving the development plan and associated amendments.
