Title 17G Administration and Procedures
Chapter 17G.070 Planned Unit Developments
Section 17G.070.100 Design
Sta ndards
Purpose.
The base zone development sta ndards are designed for most sta ndard lots and uses in the City. A planned unit development may be used to request different development sta ndards that are needed for sites which contain unusual topography, critical areas, resource lands, historic and cultural sites and developments that require flexibility in the development sta ndards to achieve a superior design which can implement the goals and policies of the City’s comprehensive plan. A planned unit development may also be used to encourage economic development and infill opportunities as described in SMC 17G.070.010
Applicability.
The sta ndards of the .100’s series of this section apply to the site design and uses in the planned unit development. The design sta ndards apply to all planned unit developments, whether allowed by right, allowed with limitations, or subject to a conditional use review.
The design sta ndards and guidelines found in this chapter follow the design sta ndards administration, SMC 17C.111.015 sta ndards and guidelines. Design sta ndards are in the form of Requirements (R), Presumptions (P), and Considerations (C). Regardless of which term is used, an applicant must address each guideline. The City will expect to see how the design of a project has responded to every one of the guidelines. An applicant may seek relief through chapter 17G.030.SMC sta ndards and guidelines contained in the zoning code.
