SECTION 14-511 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT

14-511.11   The purpose of Planned Unit Development Districts is to provide areas for flexibility and innovation in land development and land use in residential and commercial developments. There are two types of Planned Unit Development Districts: (1) PRD-Planned Residential District and (2) PCD-Planned Commercial District. It is intended that projects within the PRD or PCD Districts provide a compatible blending with surrounding development, minimizing such negative impacts as land use conflicts, traffic congestion, and excessive demands on existing or proposed public facilities.

Planned Residential and Planned Commercial Districts may be established in existing zoning districts by amendment to the Official McMinnville Zoning Map.

Within the PRD-Planned Residential District and the PCD-Planned Commercial District the following regulations shall apply:

14-511.2 MINIMUM LAND AREA

14-511.2A Minimum land area PRD .......................................................5 acres

14-511.2B Minimum land area PCD .......................................................2 acres

14-511.3 OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

At the time of application for PRD or PCD zoning, the entire tract of land for which this zoning is requested shall be under the control of a single individual, partnership or corporation.

No construction of drainage improvements shall take place until a set of plans and specifications is presented to and approved by the city. Said plans shall show all proposed drainage structures and points of discharge of storm water from the site. Said plans shall be accompanied by a set of calculations which illustrate the flow of storm water from each existing and proposed discharge point as expressed as cubic feet per second (cfs) and gallons per minute (gpm). Said calculations shall show the discharge of water from these points under existing and proposed conditions.
