19.56.190 PUD planned unit development modifying district – Standards for residential developments.
Development standards shall be in conformance with the requirements specified in the PUD policy adopted by the City; however, the City Council may grant exceptions from the standards or other sections of this title in areas relating to height regulations, lot area, lot width, setbacks, frontage requirements, and coverage requirements on any single lot in the review of a planned unit development based on the development of a harmonious, integrated plan. To grant an exception from any other code requirement, such as floor area or parking, the following procedure shall be required:
A. Application for any exception shall be made at the time of application for the planned unit development on a form prescribed for that purpose by the City.
B. Any requested exceptions shall be outlined in the public hearing notice for the planned unit development and shall be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council during the public hearing on the planned unit development. The City Council may approve, conditionally approve, or deny any requested exception based on the following findings:
1. The exception is necessary in order that the intent of this chapter in requiring adequate standards related to the public health, safety and general welfare shall be observed without unduly inhibiting the advantages of large-scale residential planning;
2. The granting of the exception will not impair the intent of any requirement from which an exception is requested;
3. The granting of the exception will not result in substantial detriment to the subject property or any adjacent properties;
4. The authorizing of this exception will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City, or the adopted plan of any governmental agency. (Ord. 1500 § 4, 1973; Ord. 1212 § 1, 1969; prior code § 33.601(A)(6)(g)).
