districts.
C. A P-D zone may contain only a planned development that has
been approved in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
D. A P-D
zone shall not be less than five acres.
E. A planned development may include
any uses permitted outright or conditionally in any zone with the following
exceptions:
1. Residential uses shall not be permitted in an M-1 or an M-2
zone;
2. Uses permitted only in an M-1 or M-2 zone shall not be permitted in

not limited to, tennis courts, swimming pools and playgrounds;
2. Open space
uses including, but not limited to, nature trails, bird sanctuaries and nature
conservatories.
G. Requirements pertaining to density shall be based on the
standards of the zone in which the property is located. Other standards of the
zone may be modified as they apply to streets, lot size, lot coverage, setbacks
and landscaping.
H. No building shall exceed a height that is fifty (50)
percent greater than that of the maximum building height limitation of the zone
in which the planned development is proposed. Such height increases may be
approved by the planning commission, provided the proposed height is not
detrimental, incompatible or otherwise undesirable with respect to existing or
future area development, and provided that one of the following two situations
is determined to exist:
1. That the height increase can be justified on the
basis of unique lot characteristics, topographical conditions or other natural
features; or
2. That the height increase can be justified on the basis of
amenities provided or concessions made by the developer for which some bonus
incentive is warranted.
I. Open Space. At least twenty (20) percent of the
land area will be dedicated or reserved as common open space land in
residential, recreational or combination residential-commercial
developments.
1. Open space may include bicycle or pedestrian trails,
natural or landscaped buffer areas, covered bus stops, significant natural
vegetation or landscape, and community recreation facilities such as tennis
courts, recreation buildings or swimming pools.
2. Open space shall not
include parking areas, except those areas in conjunction with recreation
facilities, or roadways.
3. Filling or placement of debris within the open
space area is prohibited, unless specifically authorized by the
city.
4. Private vehicle access easements serving the neighboring properties
are prohibited within the open space area.
5. Developments shall be designed
so that no dwelling unit is located more than one thousand (1,000) feet from an
open space area.
6. Individual open space areas should be large enough to be
usable; as a guideline, a minimum of five thousand (5,000) square feet is
suggested.
7. All improvements associated with the open space, such as
recreation centers, swimming pools and tennis courts shall be constructed or a
guarantee shall be posted per Section 16.116.050 of this title.
J. All
utilities, electric and telephone facilities, fire alarm conduits, street light
wiring and other wiring, conduits and similar facilities shall be placed
underground unless waived by the city.
K. The city may require easements
necessary for orderly extension of public utilities to future adjacent
developments.
L. Lands and structures not dedicated to the public but
reserved for use by owners or tenants and their guests must be subject to an
association of owners or tenants created to form a nonprofit corporation under
the laws of the state of Oregon. This association shall be formed and continued
for the purpose of maintaining such common areas and structures. (Ord. 2005-6
