4.080.  Planned Unit Development Regulations.  The purpose and intent of this Section is to encourage the total planning of relatively large tracts of land consistent with the long‑range general comprehensive plan of the County, encourage innovations in design and the application of sound design principals, provide a framework within which an effective relationship of different land uses and activities can be planned on a total basis, provide a harmonious relationship with surrounding development, minimizing such influences as land use incompatibilities, heavy traffic and congestion, and excessive demands on planned and existing public facilities, and provide a means of developing areas of physiographic or other physical features to enhance natural beauty and other attributes.  This Section shall only be used for planned unit developments upon determination by the Board of Zoning Appeals that the proposed development is in harmony with the purpose and intent as stipulated.  Planned unit developments are permitted only as special exceptions after review by the Board. 

4.081.  General Provisions.  The following general provisions apply to all planned unit developments: 

A.     Ownership and Division of Land.  No tract of land may be considered for or approved as a planned unit development unless such tract is under single ownership.  The holder of a written option to purchase, any governmental agency, or a redeveloper under contract shall be considered landowners for purposes of this Section.  Unless otherwise provided as a condition of approval of a planned unit development may divide and transfer parts of such development.  The transferee shall complete each such unit, and use and maintain it in strict conformance with the adopted final master development plan. 

B.     Relationship to the Subdivision Regulations.  The uniqueness of each proposal for a planned unit development may require that there be modification from the specifications established in the subdivision regulations adopted by the Loudon County Regional Planning Commission. 

          Modifications may be incorporated only with the approval of the planning commission. 

C.     Common Open Space

1.       The location, shape, size, and character of the common open space shall be reviewed in detail. 

2.     Common open space must be used for amenity or recreational purposes.  The uses authorized for the common open space must be appropriate to the scale and character of the planned development considering its size, density, expected population, topography, and the number and type of dwellings to be provided.

3.     Common open space must be suitably improved for its intended use but common open space containing natural features worthy of preservation may be left unimproved.  The buildings, structures, and improvements which are permitted in the common open space must be appropriate to the uses which are authorized for the common open space and must conserve and enhance the amenities of the common open space with regard to its topography and unimproved conditions. 

4.       The use and improvements of common open space must be planned in relation to any existing or proposed public or semi-public open space which adjoins or which is within close proximity to the perimeter of the planned development. 

5.       All land shown on the final development plan as common open space must be conveyed under one of the following options: 

a.  It may be conveyed to a public agency which will agree to maintain the common open space and any building, structures, or improvements which have been placed on it. 

b.  It may be conveyed to a trustee(s) provided in a deed of record which establishes an association or similar organization for the maintenance of the planned development.  The common open space may be conveyed to the trustees subject to approval of the board of zoning appeals, which will result in the restriction of the common open space to the uses specified on the final development plan; and which will provide for the maintenance of the common open space in a manner which assures its continuing use for its intended purpose. 

6.       No common open space may be put to any use not specified in the final development plan unless the final development plan has been amended to permit that use.  However, no change of use authorized may be considered as a waiver of any of the covenants limiting all rights to enforce these convenants against any use permitted shall remain. 

7.       Any organization established for the ownership and maintenance of any common open space shall not dispose of any common space by sale or otherwise (except to an organization established to own and maintain the common open space) without first offering to dedicate the same to the county.  Said dedication must be approved by the board of zoning appeals and accepted by the Loudon County Quarterly Court. 

8.       In the event that the organization established to own and maintain common open space, or any successor organization, shall at any time after the establishment of the planned unit development, fail to maintain the common open space in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the adopted master development plan, the building commissioner may serve written notice upon such organization and/or owners or residents of the planned unit development.  If deficiencies or maintenance are not corrected after 30 days, the building commissioner shall call upon any public or private agency to maintain the common open space.  The cost of such maintenance by such agency shall be assessed proportionally against the properties within the planned unit development that have right of enjoyment of the common open space, and shall become a lien on said properties. 

4.082.  Minimize Size.  The minimum size of a planned unit development is established according to the following table: 

          Minimum Area                 District

             (Acres)        R-1             C-1             A-2             C-2 

                 5                 X                 X

                 8                 X                

4.083.  Permitted Activities and Uses.  The following activities may be permitted as part of a planned unit development in R-1, C-1, A-2, and C-2 Districts except where expressly noted as not being allowed:

Food Service.  Includes the retail sale of prepared food or beverages primarily for on-premises consumption on the same lot, but not to be consumed within a parked car.  Medical Service. Includes the provision of therapeutic, preventive, or corrective personal treatment services by physicians, dentists, and other practitioners as well as the provision of medical testing and analysis services.

4.084.  Limitations on Commercial Activities in Planned Unit Developments.  The commercial activities allowed in a planned unit development shall be permitted, provided that such activities shall not exceed in the aggregate more than five percent of the total floor area of such development; provided further that the maximum floor area devoted to such activities by any single establishment shall be 3,000 square feet. 

4.085.  Obstructions, Height Regulations, Accessory Structures, Customary Home Occupations, Off-Street Parking and Sign Control.  All residential structures and community facilities within a planned unit development shall conform to the requirements governing these items as specified in this regulation pertaining to the appropriate residential or commercial district within which it is located. 

4.086.  Overall Densities and Bulk Regulations for Residential Activities in Planned Unit Developments.  The maximum overall densities for residential activities shall be in terms of the number of dwelling units per gross acre of all area within a development, as provided herein. 

A.      The maximum floor area for residential activities shall be in terms of a ratio of total floor area per total area within the development, as provided herein. 

B.       Yard requirements for planned unit developments are waived and the following minimum controls shall be applied. 

C.       The minimum total open space (including all uncovered outdoor areas, such as streets, parking, lawn, landscaped areas, patios, recreation area, as well as usable roofs and uncovered balconies) shall be provided at no less than a minimum ratio of open space per total floor area, as provided herein. 

D.      The minimum total living space (that part of the total open space which includes lawn, landscaping, and recreation areas and excluding streets and parking), shall be provided at no less than a minimum ratio of living space area per total floor area, as provided herein. 

E.       The minimum total recreation space (that part of living space which is any relatively large contiguous area for recreation purposes) shall be provided at no less a minimum ratio of recreation space per total floor area as provided herein. 

F.       If a planned unit development embraces one or more zoning districts requiring different maximum permitted overall densities and floor area, open space, living space, and recreation space ratios, these values shall be calculated separately for each distinct district, and a weighted average (weighing the area in each zoning district in proportion to its share of the total area of the development in such district) of each of these values shall be applied to the development. 

G.      The following table indicates the density and bulk regulations for residential activities in a planned unit development.  Section 4.089.2 provides definitions for interpretation concerning terms and ratios appearing below:

b.  The written statement to accompany the outline development plan must contain the following information: 

i. A statement of the present ownership of all the land included within the proposed development. 

ii. A general indication of the expected schedule of the development. 

3.       Within thirty (30) days after the filing of the outline plan, Staff shall forward the plan to the Board of Zoning Appeals with a written report recommending the plan be approved, approved with modifications, or disapproved, and giving reasons for these recommendations. 

4.       The Board of Zoning Appeals will act on the recommendation by Staff and the procedure specified for special exceptions in Section 7.060 of this Resolution shall be followed.  However, no building permits will be issued on land within the planned development until final plans for the development have been reviewed and approval granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals. 

B.     Preliminary Development Plan 

          1.  If an outline development plan has been submitted and approved, the Board shall review the submission of a preliminary development plan in stages or as a whole.  If a preliminary development plan has not been submitted within three (3) months following the approval of the outline development plan, the Board may withdraw its approval of the planned development.  In its discretion and for good cause, the Board may extend for three (3) months the period for the filing of the preliminary development plan. 

          2.     The preliminary development plan must include all the following information: 

     a. A map showing street systems, lot lines, lot designs, and existing topographic characteristics. 

     b. Areas proposed to be conveyed, dedicated, or reserved for parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, recreation buildings, supporting commercial areas, similar public and semi-public uses. 

     c. A site plan for each building site and common open area, showing the approximate location and dimensions of all buildings, structures, and improvements and indicating the open spaces around buildings and structures.

     f. An off-street parking and loading plan. 

     g. An estimate of population and density and extent of activities to be allocated to parts of the project. 

     h. The general means of the disposition of sanitary waste and storm water. 

     i. A tabulation of the land area to be devoted to various uses and activities and overall densities. 

     j. Agreements, provisions, or covenants which govern the use, maintenance, and continued protection of the planning development and any of its common open areas. 

     k. The following plans and diagrams, insofar as the Board of Zoning Appeals finds that the planned development creates special problems of traffic, parking, landscaping or economic feasibility: 

i. A circulation diagram indicating the proposed movement of vehicles, goods, and pedestrians within the planned development and to and from existing and proposed thoroughfares. Any special engineering features and traffic regulation devices needed to facilitate or insure the safety of this circulation pattern must be shown. 

ii. A landscaping and tree planting plan. 

iii. An economic feasibility report or market analysis. 

l.   If no outline development plan has been filed, the preliminary plan must contain the information required by Section A 2 (a) and (b) and must include enough of the area surrounding the proposed planned development to show the relationship of the planned development to adjacent uses. 

          3.     The Board of Zoning Appeals shall review the preliminary development plan and recommend its approval if it complies with the intent of this planned unit development section and contains all the information as specified in subsection B.2.

C.              Final Development Plan 

          1.     Within three (3) months following the approval of the preliminary development plan, the developer shall file with the Board a final plan containing in final form the information previously required in granting preliminary approval and the necessary signatures as required by the Loudon County Subdivision Regulations.  In its discretion, and for good cause, the Board may extend for three (3) months the period for the filing of the final development plan. 

          2.     The Board shall review the final development, and if it is in substantial compliance with the preliminary development plan, shall recommend approval. 

          3.     The Building Commissioner shall issue building permits for building and structures in the area covered by the approved final development plan if they are in conformity with the approved final development plan and with all other applicable regulations.  He shall issue a certificate of occupancy for any completed building or structure located in an area covered by the approved final development plan if the complete building or structure conforms to the requirements of the approved final development plan and all other applicable regulations. 

D.  Changes to Final Development Plan 

          1.  No changes may be made in the approved final plan during the construction of the planned development except as specified. 

     a. Minor changes in the location, siting, and height of buildings and structures may be authorized by the Board of Zoning Appeals if required by engineering or other circumstances not foreseen at the time the final plan was approved.  No change authorized by this Section may change the size of any building or structure by more than ten percent. 

     b.  All other changes in use, rearrangement of lots, blocks, or building tracts, provisions for open spaces, or any other desired changes in the approved final plan must be submitted to the board which will make its recommendation for approval or disapproval.  No amendments may be made in the approved final plan unless they are shown to be required by changes in conditions that have occurred since the final plan was approved or by changes in the development policy of the county or city. 

          2.     Any changes which are approved for the final plan must be recorded as amendments to the recorded copy of the final plan. 

          3.  If no construction has begun or no use established in the development within one year after approval of the final development plan, the final development plan will lapse and be of no further effect. 

          E.     Control of Planned Development Following Completion 

              1.  Upon completion of all work within the development, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall issue a certificate of completion.  The secretary of the Board shall note the issuance of the certificate on the recorded final development plan. 

              2.  After the certificate of completion has been issued, the use of land and the construction, modification, or alteration of any buildings or structures within the planned development will be governed by the approved final development plan rather than by any other provisions of this regulation. 

              3. After the certificate of completion has been issued, no change may be made in the approved final development plan except upon application to the Board under the procedures provided below: 

     a. Any minor extensions, alterations, or modifications of existing buildings or structures may be authorized by the Board of Zoning Appeals if they are consistent with the purposes and intent of the final plan.  No change authorized by this Section may change the size of any building or structure by more than ten percent. 

     b. Any uses not authorized by the approved final plan, but allowable in the planned development as a permitted use under the provisions of this regulation, or permitted as a special exception in the zone in which the planned development is located, may be added to the final development plan upon approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals. 

     c. A building or structure that is totally or substantially destroyed may be reconstructed but only in compliance with the final development plan unless an amendment to the final development plan is approved under one of the two procedures specified above. 

     d.  Changes in the use of common open space may be authorized by an amendment to the final development plan under one of the two procedures specified above. 

     e. All other changes in the final development plan must be made by the Board of Zoning Appeals under the procedures authorized by this regulation.  No changes may be made in the final development plan unless they are required for the continued successful functioning of the planned development, or unless they are required by changes in the development policy of the city or county. 

              4.     No changes in the final development plan which are approved under this Section are to be considered as a waiver of the covenants limiting the use of land, buildings, structures, and improvements within the area of the planned development, and all rights to enforce these covenants against any changes permitted by this section are expressly reserved. 

F.     Subdivision and Resale of the Planned Development 

          1.  A planned development may be subdivided or resubdivided for purposes of sale or lease after the certificate of completion has been issued. 

          2.  If the subdivision or resubdivision of a planned development will create a new lot line, the applicant shall make a request to the Planning Commission for the approval of the subdivision or resubdivision.  The Planning Commission shall approve the subdivision or resubdivision if each section of the subdivided or resubdivided planned development meets the provisions of this regulation governing the density, common open space, and dimensional requirements. 

          3.  All sections of a subdivided or resubdivided planned development are to be controlled by the final development plan. 

4.089.2. Definitions.  The following definitions are provided for a better interpretation of terms used in this section. 

          A.     Floor Area.  The total of the gross horizontal areas of all floors, including usable basements and cellars, below the roof and within the outer surfaces of the main walls of principal or accessory buildings on the center lines of party walls separating such buildings or portions thereof, or within lines drawn parallel to and two feet within the roof line of any building or portion thereof without walls, but excluding the following: 

              1.     Off-street parking, loading, and maneuvering space. 

              2.     In the case of non-residential facilities:  arcades, porticoes, and similar open areas which are located at or near street level, which are accessible to the general public, and which are not designed or used as sales, display, storage service, or production areas. 

          B.     Floor Area Ratio.  The total floor area on a lot, divided by the lot area of that lot.  For example, a building containing 20,000 square feet of floor area on a lot of 10,000 square feet has a FAR of 2.0. 

          C.     Living Space.  Outdoor areas including recreation areas but excluding streets and parking. 

          D. Open Space.  In planned unit developments, as a partial substitution of yard requirements, it includes the total uncovered open area of a planned unit development including streets, parking, lawn, patios, recreation areas as well as usable roofs and uncovered balconies. 

          E.     Recreation Space.  That portion of a lot that is required by the specific district regulation to be open from the ground to the sky and may contain only explicitly listed obstructions.
