TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Robert W. Varnell, Director of Planning and Community Development DATE: March 10, 2025 RE: PUD Standards SUMMARY: City staff focus on providing solid information for development proposals to applicants which allow for as seamless a process as feasible. The utilization of PUD oriented development over the past 20 years has provided a high level of commercial and residential developments. These options are continually evolving based on market dictated terms. RECOMMENDATION: While the central them of doing a PUD development is to provide for areas of flexibility on both the City and applicants side, some consistent standards are useful in planning development impacts on future service delivery for City departments. Staff recommends the following in relation to lot size discussions moving forward: Typical Greenfield Development: allow for a minimum of a 50’ wide lot average (lot sizes counted in the average cannot be under 46’ or over 75’ in width). This grants flexibility in lot placement and design. Mixed-use developments which have a minimum 25% commercial component and are situated with infrastructure that can sustain increased density: allow for a minimum 42’ lot width where the following criteria are met: 1. Rear-loaded lots only with use of alleys and which provide for a minimum of 4 off-street parking spaces (not including garages). 2. No overnight parking on the street, unless the design includes specific parallel on-street parking options to be approved on a case-by-case basis; 3. Pedestrian network – is included on both sides of the road and provides connectivity to the commercial component, open space(s), and other amenities throughout; p. 224 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 10, 2025 PAGE -224- MINUTE BOOK 32 4. Open Space/Amenity – Usable space which meets or exceeds 15% of the developable area, cannot include stormwater facilities, slopes in excess of 4:1, or wetlands and have some usable amenities included; 5. Architectural standards – Provide an array of housing options which break-up the standard facades, utilize brick/stone/cement fiber options only; 6. Unit count – does not exceed 115 total units and is at least 60% single-family detached housing options….. The following Ordinance was then presented in full: b.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND RELATED REQUIREMENTS. 6.A. CONCEPTUAL PLAN A conceptual plan (exhibit A) for PUD 47, Legacy Parkway Development, was prepared for submission to the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission for consideration in the regular meeting on September 19th, 2023. The concept plan consists of a site plan for the overall development. However, additional drawings, documents, and permits routinely required for a subdivision are expected for review and approval prior to construction. All development within PUD 47 must be consistent with this conceptual plan with regard to development standards and general layout unless subsequently modified by agreement of the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission. However, any modification may not increase the total number of dwelling units beyond 35 without a revision to the PUD ordinance approved by the City Council. Additional plans, plats, and other development-related documents and permits will be necessary to carry out the construction of this project. It is recognized that the plats and site plans for the PUD development may reflect some alteration in the conceptual plan such as the exact location of each specific building and type within the development area. Other variations may include the width or alignment of streets, or the precise placement of buildings, but these will be generally consistent with the conceptual plan, mutually consistent with on another, and not violate any feature of this ordinance as these relate to adjoining properties and infrastructure (e.g., external intersection locations, buffers with external properties, etc.) All streets or access drives within the PUD 47 development shall be constructed with adequate width to accommodate the installation of sidewalks which shall be installed at the expense of the developer. Further specification of intersection design requirements and other infrastructure standards will be specified prior to platting. 6.B PLATS One or more plats will be prepared for the PUD 47 property by the Developer for approval in accordance with the City of Cleveland, Tennessee subdivision regulations. These plats will describe and dedicate public streets and any other public properties; identify lots; and identify easements that are necessary for various purposes within the development such as utilities, access, maintenance, and conservation, etc. These plats shall be consistent in general layout with the conceptual site plan. 6.C. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS The Developer shall prepare and implement such master covenants, restrictions, homeowner association documents, common area agreements, and the like which the Developer determines are necessary to carry out the development of PUD 47 as envisioned herein. It is a requirement of this ordinance that such documents are in place and enforced by the Developer (or Developer's p. 232 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 10, 2025 PAGE -232- MINUTE BOOK 32 heirs, successors, or assigns) to the extent necessary for PUD 47 to function as described herein.

Walls greater than four feet in height must be reviewed and approved by the City of Cleveland Director of Development and Engineering Services prior to the issuance of a building permit. The guidelines for approval of a minor encroachment as established within the Cleveland Zoning Ordinance may be utilized to establish variations in setbacks subsequent to any Planning Commission approvals. The development standards for the R2 Low Density Single Residential Zoning District shall apply for any standards this ordinance does not address concerning residential development and CG General Commercial zoning for commercial development. The developer shall dedicate a 50-foot-wide strip of unopened right-of-way along the front of the parcel which borders Interstate 75 Right-of-way for future road development by the City of Cleveland. p. 233 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 10, 2025 PAGE -233- MINUTE BOOK 32 The developer shall dedicate a 20’ wide easement which borders Interstate 75 right-of-way for future greenway expansion.

Failure to develop, use, or maintain the subject property other than in conformity with all of the requirements of this ordinance is unlawful and shall be deemed a violation of the City's zoning ordinance and a nuisance subject to the penalties described in the zoning ordinance and any increased fine as may be allowed by state law. Section 9. ERRORS, OMISSIONS, AND POSSIBLE FUTURE REVISIONS TO THE PUD. This ordinance may be amended from time to time as necessary after review by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council subsequent to a public hearing. Where this ordinance contemplates the future approval of a site plan or the future approval of a plat by the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission, and where this ordinance contemplates the future refinement of plans to conform with permitting requirements or conditions of approval necessitated by staff review, and where the Developer and the City of Cleveland may enter into future agreements regarding possible public facilities, infrastructure, and/ or services within PUD 47, an amendment to this ordinance is not required to implement such detailed block plan, site plan, plat, refinement to plans necessitated by permitting or review requirements, or agreement pertaining to public facilities, infrastructure, or services. If the overall development layout differs greater than 20% from the site plan shown in exhibit A then a revised conceptual plan must be reviewed by the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission.
