and subdivisions to be screened from abutting uses, but it is unclear if the <br />screening requirement is the responsibility of the commercial owner or the <br />manufactured housing/subdivision owner. Additionally, for large commercial <br />lots that are only partially developed, this screening requirement should only <br />apply if the site is developed in proximity to the abutting use. <br />xii. 106-441 Table A, Industrial Uses <br />This table uses SIC codes to delineate uses. Staff should develop an alternate <br />table using NICS codes for consideration. <br />xiii. 106-637 Procedures for establishing a PUD; Subsection (c) <br />The individual items on the list of 12 submittal requirements should be optional <br />if the specific item is not applicable to the scope or context of the project site. <br />xiv. 106-637 Procedures for establishing a PUD; Subsection (h) <br />The code should be modified to allow certain development authorizations to be <br />issued prior to final approval of the PUD and all related general plans and plats. <br />This will facilitate construction phasing on large or complex projects. Examples <br />of early permits that should be allowed include clearing and grading, detention, <br />and utilities, provided that the corresponding subset of the plans have been <br />approved prior to commencement of construction. <br />xv. 106-659 PUD Special Regulations and Procedures; Subsection (b.3) <br />The requirement that "a sufficient amount of useable open space is provided" is <br />ambiguous and should be quantified. Developers generally prefer a specific <br />regulation so they do not have to guess and negotiate the requirement. <br />xvi. 106-678 PUD Building Height <br />The maximum building height limitation should be removed to provide <br />additional flexibility. Surrounding residential properties are still protected via <br />the setback requirements of Section 106-696(c.2). <br />xvii. Article V: Supplementary District Regulations <br />Generally: There are a variety of special conditions in this Article that relate <br />back to various underlying zoning districts. These conditions should be cross- <br />referenced back to the underlying districts, so that the reader can be aware of <br />these requirements. <br />xviii. 106-801 Tree Preservation <br />Various terms should be defined, such as "native tree", "protected tree", and <br />"replacement tree". Subsection (b) prohibits the destruction of any native tree <br />greater than six-inch diameter; however, Section 106-802 allows removal of a <br />protected tree as part of a building permit if the tree is replaced with <br />replacement trees. There is a conflict in this language as it appears all tree <br />removal is prohibited, but also allowed under certain conditions. <br />xix. 106-835 Design Standards <br />This section including all related figures should be consolidated into the Public <br />Improvements Criteria Manual or a new Private Improvements Criteria Manual, <br />22 Planning Department Review Mueller Management/Ron Cox Consulting <br />
