Van Milligen MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager THE CITY OF Dubuque UUB AII-America CHV Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: City Council Work Session #3 - Unified Development Code DATE: June 4, 2009 INTRODUCTION The City Council will hold the third of four work sessions on the proposed Unified Development Code (UDC) on June 8, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, Historic Federal Building. For the third UDC work session, staff will review the following 7 Articles: • Article 11: Land Subdivision. • Article 12: Site Plans. • Article 13: Design Standards. • Article 14: Parking. • Article 15: Signs. • Article 16: Administration and Enforcement. • Article 17: Legal Status Provisions. The marked-up versions of Articles 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the UDC are enclosed for City Council consideration. BACKGROUND The UDC combines the City's zoning, subdivision, historic preservation, and sign regulations into one document. The purpose of the UDC is to eliminate contradictory and redundant regulations while updating City codes to reflect new approaches in land use regulation and City initiatives. The project objectives were for the UDC to: conform to local, state, and federal codes; be relevant for Dubuque; be user-friendly; and streamline the process. We have worked to draft a UDC that reduces obstacles and incorporates sustainable design provisions. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Public involvement in preparing the draft Articles 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the UDC included: the UDC Technical Advisory Committee (comprised of City staff), the UDC Sign Review Advisory Committee, the UDC Citizen Advisory Committee, the Environmental 1 Stewardship Advisory Commission, the Zoning Advisory Commission, and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. We invited the Developers' Roundtable to UDC open houses on these Articles. We also invited sign contractors to the open house on the UDC sign section. DISCUSSION Since the Articles for review in this third work session deal with the design and development aspects of land development, we want to review two relevant sections of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the UDC and the development review process. In the RFP, the project objective, Be Relevant for Dubuaue, had several actions related to land development regulations: ? Prepare a UDC that is responsive to contemporary development trends, recognizes the diverse physical characteristics of Dubuque's neighborhoods (e.g. street patterns, building types, density etc.), and encourages quality development. ? Create coordinated regulations that facilitate development effectively, enhance neighborhood quality, and result in planned and managed growth. ? Develop regulations that acknowledge and accommodate Dubuque's three distinct geographical areas as well as potential growth areas in the environs. In the RFP, the consultant was asked to complete a Critical Issues Inventorv, including: ? Review, improve and update standards for site plan and subdivision reviews, and modernize existing zoning and subdivision development standards. ? Revise existing provisions regarding site development review and evaluate the creation of new or improved flexible and illustrated site development standards. ? Evaluate options for design review process, guidelines, and standards for screening, setbacks and visual impacts of commercial and industrial developments, particularly for outdoor storage. ? Review, improve and update parking standards and requirements to prevent excessive and unnecessary parking areas, particularly in the central business district and surrounding historic neighborhoods. Development Review Process Since 1990, the Planning Services staff has coordinated and facilitated weekly meetings of the Development Review Committee (as needed) with staff representing the Fire, Water, Engineering and Building Services Departments to streamline the land development process. The Development Review Committee reviews the following development projects: ¦ minor and major subdivision plats; ¦ minor and major site plans for new and expanding multi-family residential, commercial, office, institutional, and industrial developments; and ¦ conceptual development plans for new and amended PUDs. 2 Developers and their architects and engineers are invited and encouraged to attend the weekly meetings to discuss their projects with this interdepartmental team. Planning Services staff provides written review and approval letters with comments from Committee members to the applicants or their agents. The Planning Services staff hosts and facilitates ad hoc meetings of the Developers' Roundtable as a forum for open communication and coordination about the City's development review process. The Roundtable was initiated by the Planning Services Department in 1992 to: ¦ Improve communication and coordination of City departments with each other and with developers; ¦ Foster and maintain a good public/private working relationship; ¦ Evaluate how City codes and procedures can be improved, what barriers exist to improvement, and what solutions can be implemented; ¦ Develop a streamlined and documented development review. process; ® Provide "in service training" on new codes and procedures; and ¦ Enhance public relations and customer service. As a result of the initial meetings of the Developers' Roundtable, the development review process was streamlined with 3 types of subdivisions and site plans: simple, minor, and major. The process was documented with subdivision and site plan application packets that included submittal checklists. Hiqhliahts of the proposed chances in UDC Articles 11 throuah 17 are described below. ARTICLE 11: LAND SUBDIVISION ? Minor subdivisions involve land division of 3 or more lots without public or private improvements (streets, utilities). Major subdivisions involve land division of 3 or more lots with public or private improvements. Subdivision application requirements and review procedures have been updated to clarify the application process. The submittal checklists have been removed from the UDC. These checklists are in the subdivision application packets. These packets are updated annually by Planning Services staff in consultation with the Development Review Committee. When the UDC is completed, the subdivision application packets will be reformatted for a consistent appearance and new graphics. ? The subdivision regulations continue to refer to City standards, which are under development this summer. The Engineering Department is evaluating the applicability of the State Urban Design Standards and Specifications (SODAS) developed by the Iowa Department of Transportation as well as low-impact development (LID) best management practices. The subdivision regulations continue to have a process for the Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council to waive these standards for cause. 3 •:- Under Iowa Code, the City has joint review authority with Dubuque County for subdivisions within 2 miles of the city limits. The City has a fringe area development policy for this two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. •:• While traditional subdivision design is still allowed, it is now the exception. Subdivision regulations have been extensively revised to promote sustainable measures, including: o Parkland dedication, including ratios and fees as well as exceptions. o Sustainable subdivision tools that incorporate a point system. o Conservation subdivision design and development bonus, to replace -and expand upon existing smaller lot (clustered) subdivision language. o Solar subdivision, which is based on the City of Madison's approach that a solar subdivision is possible unless there are mitigating factors (which are listed). o Cottage design subdivision, which incorporates conservation and traditional neighborhood design elements. o A placeholder for a future Complete Streets policy. •:• We have enclosed checklists for minor and major subdivisions (#1), handouts that illustrate conservation subdivision (#2), solar subdivision (#3), and cottage subdivision (#4) designs, and a Complete Streets FAQ handout (#5). ARTICLE 12: SITE PLANS By City policy, minor site plans are required for new or expanded parking lots and expansion under 10,000 square feet. Major subdivisions are for expansions of 10,000 square feet or more and all new construction. •:• Site plan application requirements and review procedures have been updated to clarify the application process. The submittal checklists have been removed from the UDC. These checklists are in the site plan application packets. These packets are updated annually by Planning Services staff in consultation with the Development Review Committee. When the UDC is completed, the site plan application packets will be reformatted for a consistent appearance and new graphics. We have enclosed the checklists for minor and major site plans (#6). ARTICLE 13: DESIGN STANDARDS •:• Article 13 lists the various design standards and guidelines that apply to site development in the city. These design standards are mandatory now. Planning Services staff has proposed a waiver provision using the existing site plan appeal process in Article12, Section 12-7. ? Site design standards have been extensively revised to promote sustainable measures: o Three-tier review process for new development, redevelopment, and special development areas to accommodate different development patterns in the city. o Site development requirements, including site lighting, utility location, parking structures and lots, and sidewalks and walkways. 4 o Expanded parking requirements, including: lot layout, lighting, bicycle parking, stormwater management, and stall dimensions (from SUDAS). o Landscaping and screening requirements, including use of LID tools for site landscaping, preservation of trees, parking lot landscaping, screening of exterior storage and trash collection, and maintenance. •:• We have proposed a simplified formula for calculating required permeable area to be 20% of the site. Presently, there is a three-part test to calculate required permeable area. We have enclosed a chart (#7) comparing various site developments under current and proposed standards. Site plans for these developments with open space shown in green follow the chart. ? Based on developer input, existing standards for big box retail uses to have a green roof have been modified to allow for permeable pavement in lieu of the green roof. •:• Existing standards for big box retail uses, retail commercial uses, and regional shopping centers have been modified with maximum parking restrictions. Maximum parking requirements have been proposed that will require that permeable paving or additional green space be provided when a big box retail use, retail commercial use, or regional shopping center exceeds 125% of the minimum required parking. Enclosed is a chart illustrating the impact of maximum parking regulations (#8). •:• Design guidelines for development in older neighborhoods are proposed. The purpose and intent of the OTND Old Town. Neighborhood District Overlay is to provide form- based guidelines where strict application of "suburban-style" site design standards for new commercial, industrial and residential development are difficult to apply due to the dense development patterns of these older urban areas. We want to encourage new development that is compatible with older neighborhoods. A map of the OTND Overlay area is included, along with the draft design guidelines (#9). ARTICLE 14: PARKING ? This Article updates the off-street parking regulations. The parking requirement for each use listed in the UDC is now individually listed by use instead of grouped by classification number. New uses and revised parking requirements are in red. •:• Bicycle parking spaces are now proposed based on size of new parking lots. •:• Shared parking is new, and we recommend that it be allowed with approval by Planning Services staff. A shared parking worksheet is enclosed (#10). ARTICLE 15: SIGNS ? This Article combines and updates sign regulations from the Zoning Ordinance and the Building Code to create a single Sign Code. •:• Many new definitions have been added and many definitions have been modified. 5 ? The enclosed sign graphics have been developed for City Council review and comment (#11). They will be incorporated into Article 15 to illustrate the sign regulations. •:• Bulk standards for signs in a C-2 Neighborhood Commercial Shopping Center district have been reduced to reflect common sign installations. Bulk standards for signs that reflect C-2 standards have been established for the proposed C-2A Mixed-Use Neighborhood district. ? Bulk standards for signs in CR Commercial/Recreational, CS Commercial Service and all industrial districts have been reduced so as to not exceed C-3 General Commercial district sign standards for highway dependent commercial development. •:• Electronic message sign regulations have been added to establish a time frame for animation and static messages. Currently, these signs are limited to time and temperature. With advances in technology, the UDC Sign Review Advisory Committee saw the need to allow animation and static messages while minimizing driver distraction and negative impacts on residential areas. IDOT standards for 1:8:1 timing for electronic off-premise signs are proposed. A timing sequence of 2:1:2 for on- premise electronic message signs is proposed. A video that illustrates the proposed standards in sign sequencing shown below will be available at the work session. Sian Seauence Off-Premise On-Premise Transition 1 2 Static Message 8 2 Transition 1 2 ARTICLE 16: ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. •:• This Article has no substantive changes. ARTICLE 17: LEGAL STATUS PROVISIONS. ? This Article has no substantive changes. Additional changes not mentioned above are highlighted in red text in the enclosed UDC Articles 11 through 17. REQUESTED ACTION The requested action is for the City Council to review and comment on the enclosed Articles 11 through 17 of the proposed UDC at the work session.

Subdivision Design: 1. Design of the subdivision shall be in conformance with thethis Code, the Comprehensive Plan, ZM.Ilg OFElina^e" and all applicable City standards. 2. To the maximum extent practicable, the subdivision shall be designed to preserve the natural features of the site, to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity, and to minimize negative impacts and alteration of the natural features. 3. The subdivision shall be laid out to avoid adversely affecting ground water and aquifer recharge; to reduce cut and fill; to avoid unnecessary impervious cover; to prevent flooding; to provide adequate access to lots and sites; and to mitigate adverse effects of shadow, noise, odor, traffic, drainage, and utilities on neighboring properties. 4. The subdivision shall be laid out to create lots which provide sufficient area for development outside utility easements. No buildings, fill, or grading shall occur within the utility easements without approval of the City Engineer. 5. No more than 40 platted lots shall be allowed in any phase, combination of phases, or contiguous subdivisions having only one exit-. B. Installation of Improvements: Public improvements including streets, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water mains, street lighting, street trees, and sidewalks shall be installed in accordance with the City standards. C. Corners to be Marked: Each corner of each lot shall be marked by a land surveyor registered in the State of Iowa. D. Open Space: In subdividing property, consideration shall be given to the dedication of suitable sites for parks, playgrounds, schools and other open space areas, so as to conform, as nearly as possible, to the Comprehensive Plan and the needs of the City and the adjacent area. Such provision may be indicated on the preliminary and final plats for consideration by the Commission and City Council when, whether, and in what manner such sites will be dedicated to the public. 11-9 Public Park Land Dedication The purpose of this section is to regulate the use and development of land so as to assure that new developments provide for the health, safety and welfare of residents by providing land for public parks within the city in newly developing residential areas. After the effective date of this Code, an}, new major subdivision shall be required to dedicate public park land to the City as provided in this section. No new plats for residential development shall be approved until the provisions of this section are complied with. Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 256 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision 11-9.1 Computation of Public Park Land Required A. The amount of public park land required to be dedicated in a proposed development shall be 500 square feet per proposed detached single-family home and 300 square feet per proposed multi-family unit. The multi-fancily dwelling unit rate applies to any other residential dwelling unit other than detached single-family dwellings. When a plat is requested for mixed land uses, this paragraph shall apply only to those areas of the plat devoted to residential uses. B. The dedicated public park land may include waterways, detention/retention areas, and ponds provided that those areas do not constitute more than 50 percent of the amount of public park land required in paragraph 1 of this subsection. C. Where the proposed subdivision abuts undeveloped lands, the dedicated public park land shall be located adjacent to the subdivision boundaries with the undeveloped land, at the discretion of the City Council, to allow the public park land to be increased in size when the adjacent property develops. 11-9.2 Responsibility for Site Preparation A. The City may require the subdivider or developer to grade and seed those portions of the dedicated land to be improved prior to dedication of the property and prior to the City acceptance of the dedication. B. Where the dedicated land is located adjacent to a street, the subdivider or developer shall remain responsible for the installation of utilities and other improvements required along that street segment. The developer shall also provide utility service laterals for water and sewer if desired by the City. C. Prior to dedication, the subdivider/developer shall be responsible for installing satisfactory ground cover and controlling erosion on the land to be dedicated that has been disrupted as a result of development activities by the developer. 11-9.3 Payment of Fees in Lieu of Land Dedication A. The payment of fees in lieu of dedication of land may occur at the request of the subdivider with approval by the City, or may be required by the City. The payment of fees in lieu of land dedication shall be reviewed and approved as part of the preliminary subdivision plat. B. The Zoning Advisory Commission shall consider the request for payment of fees in lieu of land dedication during the subdivision review process, and forward its recommendation to the City Council. 11-9.4 Fees in Lieu of Dedication, Criteria The City may, at its discretion or the subdivider's request, require the payment of fees in lieu of the subdivider dedicating land, if the City finds that all or part of the land required for the dedication is not suitable for public recreation and open space purposes, or upon finding that the recreational needs of the proposed subdivision can be met by other park, greenway or recreational Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 257 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision facilities planned or in existence within reasonable proximity to the subdivision. The City shall consider the following factors in making this determination: A. Topographic and geologic conditions of the land available for dedication. B. Size, shape, location of and access to the land available for dedication. C. The character and recreational needs of the neighborhood where the subdivision is located. D. The cost of developing open space and recreational areas in the subdivision. E. The actual or potential development of open space and recreational areas on land adjacent to the subdivision which will serve the needs of the subdivision. F. Recommendations of staff and the Zoning Advisory Commission. 11-9.5 Fees in Lieu of Dedication, Time of Payment Fees in lieu of dedication shall be paid in full by the subdivider prior to the issuance of the first building permit for a lot in the subdivision. 11-9.6 Fees in Lieu of Dedication, Amount of Payment The fee in lieu of dedication shall be the equal to the fair market value of the undeveloped land that otherwise would have been required for dedication. The fair market value of the undeveloped land shall be determined by a qualified real estate appraiser, who is acceptable to both the City and the subdivider. The City and Subdivider will equally share the appraisal costs. 11-9.7 Fees in Lieu of Dedication, Use of Funds A. All payments will be used to acquire or develop open spaces, parks, recreational facilities and greenway trails that are located within reasonable proximity to the subject subdivision, and will benefit the residents of that subdivision for which the payment has been made. B. The City must use the payment in lieu of dedication within five years from the date of receipt. This will be automatically extended an additional five years in the subdivider has not constructed at least 50 percent of the units within the subdivision for which payment in lieu of dedication has been made. C. If the City has not spent the finds by the last day of the five year period, or, if extended by the last day of the additional five years, the City shall, within 90 days thereafter mail to the property owner at the address on file with the Dubuque County Assessor's office, a proportional refund based on the percentage of the platted lots they own of the total platted lots in the subdivision. 11-10 Sustainable Subdivision Tools A. After the effective date of this Code, the sustainable subdivision tools apply to all new major subdivisions. Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 258 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision B. New subdivisions must achieve a minimum score of 40 points by utilizing the following list of subdivision tools. C. After a preapplication conference, the subdivider shall submit a preliminary plat and other written graphic materials necessary to demonstrate what sustainable subdivision tools will be incorporated into the proposed subdivision. Conservation Subdivision: Development is clustered to optimize open space, 40 preserve natural features, protect environmentally sensitive areas, and minimize infrastructure demands. Solar Subdivision: Development includes 70% "solar lots" that have a minimum 40 north-south dimension of 75 feet and a front line orientation that is within 30 degrees of the true east-west axis. Cottage Design Subdivision: Development reflects traditional neighborhood 40 design, with smaller lots, reduced setbacks, narrower rights-of-way, smaller building footprints, alleys and/or clustering. The development incorporates walking/bike trails. These trails should be 10 connected to the development and trails outside the development to the greatest extent possible. Permeable street pavement throughout the subdivision. 10 Complete street design throughout the subdivision. 10 Rain gardens required by covenant for at least 80% of lots throughout the 10 subdivision. Green Building Code compliance for 100% of dwellinp- units throughout the 10 subdivision. Green Building Code compliance for 50% of dwelling units throughout the subdivision. Native and regionally appropriate trees and vegetation are preserved or planted which limits turf grass, limits water demand, improves infiltration or filtration, and enhances the natural environment. Such vegetation is phased so denuded areas are quickly vegetated. Turf grass should not exceed 30% of the landscaped area. Specify the planning of trees on private property to increase site shading and reduce energy needs for houses. Place trees that lose their leaves in the fall on the south and west sides of the house to provide shade to lower cooling costs. Evergreen trees planted on the north and west sides protect against winter winds, which can help reduce heating costs. Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 259 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision The development implements innovative infiltration or filtration techniques such 5 as rain gardens, bioswales, French drains, etc. Parkway/street trees are planted at approximately 35-foot intervals to reduce wind 5 speeds, help stabilize the soil, and improve air quality. No curb and gutter on city streets with appropriate bioswales and sidewalks. The development incorporates detention basins for property on-site storrnwater management. Retention basins can be used as an open water amenity feature for on-site storm water management. Use of any pavement that reduces the heat island effect throughout the subdivision, such as light-colored concrete. 11-11 Smaller of D elopmentConservation Subdivision Conservation Subdivision: A development that is characterized by compact lots and common open space, and where the natural features of the land are maintained to the greatest extent possible. 11-11.1 Conservation Subdivision Design Criteria A. Land Suitability. Noland shall be developed which is held to be unsuitable for any proposed use if identified as being environmentally sensitive. Areas identified as being environmentally sensitive include, but are not limited to: 1. All areas mapped as floodplain by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or Iowa Department of Natural Resources. 2. All identified wetlands, including a 75-foot buffer. 3. All areas within 75 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of navigable streams and lakes, as identified by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Land cover on the site, according to general cover type (pasture, woodland, etc.) and standalone trees with a caliper of more than 12 inches measured four feet off the ground. The inventory shall include comments on the health and condition of the vegetation. 2. Areas that are known to provide habitat for rare, threatened or endangered species. 3. Historic buildings and sites, archaeological sites and burial sites. B. Residential Lot Requirements 1. The lot configuration shall comply with the standards established by the existing zoning district, unless a subdivision qualifies for a development bonus. Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 260 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision 2. Lots shall be configured to minimize the amount of impervious surfaces. 3. Most lots shall take access from interior local streets. 4. Lots shall be configured to minimize the amount of road length required for the subdivision. 5. Development shall be configured to minimize loss of woodlands. 6. All lots within a neighborhood shall abut open space on at least one side. A local street may separate lots from the open space. 7. Residential structures shall be oriented to maximize solar gain in the winter months. 8. Stormwater management best management practices (BMPs) shall be followed in conformance with the Sustainable Subdivision Tools in Section 11-12.. C. Residential Cluster Siting Standards: 1. All residential lots and dwellings shall be grouped into clusters. Each cluster shall contain no less than five units. 2. Residential clusters shall be located to minimize negative impacts on the natural, scenic and cultural resources of the site and conflicts between incompatible uses. 3. Residential clusters shall avoid encroaching on rare plant communities, high quality sites, or endangered species identified by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. 4. Whenever possible, open space shall connect with existing or potential open space lands on adjoining parcels and local or regional recreational trails. 5. Residential clusters should be sited to achieve the following goals, to the extent practicable. i. Minimize impacts to prime farmland soils and large tracts of land in agricultural use, and avoid interference with normal agricultural practices. ii. Minimize disturbance to woodlands, wetlands, grasslands and mature trees. iii. Prevent downstream impacts due to runoff through adequate on-site storm water management practices. iv. Protect archaeological sites and existing historic buildings or incorporate them through adaptive reuse. D. Common Open Space Design 1. Open space may be designated as part of the development. The minimum required open space to qualify for a development bonus is 40 percent of the subdivision. Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 261 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision 2. Open Space Conservation Ranking (in order of significance). The areas to be preserved shall be identified on a case-by-case basis in an effort to conserve and provide the best opportunities to restore and enlarge the best quality natural features of each particular site. i. First priority will be given to intact natural communities, rare and endangered species, environmental corridors, natural and restored prairies, significant historic and archaeological properties, and steep slopes. ii. Second priority will be given to areas providing some plant and wildlife habitat and open space values. iii. Third priority will be given to areas providing little habitat but providing viewshed, recreation, or a sense of open space. 3. The following areas or structures may be located within the open space area and shall be counted toward the overall open space percentage required. i. Parking areas for access to and use of the open space developed at a scale limited to the potential users of the open space. ii. Privately held buildings or strictures provided they are accessory to the use of the open space. 4. Road rights-of-way shall not be counted towards the required minimum open space. 5. No more than 50 percent of the required open space may consist of water bodies, ponds, floodplain or wetlands. 6. That portion of open space designed to provide plant and animal habitat shall be kept as intact as possible. Trails shall be designed to avoid fragmenting these areas. 4-.7.A pathway system connecting open space areas accessible to neiohhnrhnnd residents, and connecting these areas to neighborhood streets and to planned or developed trails on adjacent parcels shall be identified in the plan. 8. The designated common open space and common facilities may be owned and managed by one or a combination of the following: i. A property owners' association ii. A non-profit conservation organization iii. Public dedication iv. An individual who will use the land for open space purposes as provided by a conservation easement. I Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 262 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article I I - Land Subdivision 9. Public Dedication of Open Space. The City may accept the dedication of fee title or dedication of a conservation easement to the common open space. The City may accept the common open space provided: i. The common open space is accessible to the residents of the city; ii. The City agrees to and has access to maintain the common open space. 10. Individual Ownership. An individual may hold fee title to the land while a nonprofit or other qualified organization holds a conservation easement uses for the common open space. 11-11.2 Conservation Subdivision Development Bonus In consideration for setting aside areas determined as environmentally sensitive, public park land, and common open space, a conservation subdivision shall qualify for a development bonus. A. Development yield analysis. The subdivider shall submit a table showing the maximum number of dwelling units that would be permitted by the underlying zoning designation, consistent with the minimum lot size, lot widths, setbacks and other provisions of this Code and compare it to the number of dwelling units proposed. Land that is undeveloped because of other laws and ordinances that prohibit development in certain areas (e.g., floodplains, wetlands, steep slopes, and drainageways) shall be excluded from the development yield analysis. B. Development Bonus. The development bonus shall equal the overall development density as determined by the development yield analysis, plus 20 percent. C. Smaller Lot Development. To accommodate a qualified development bonus. the subdivider may submit a plat for smaller lot development. Despite the lot size, yard, and bulk regulations of this Code, and any other applicable requirements of the City, the Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council may approve a development bonus for conservation subdivisions with lot area and dimensions less than required by this Code, and those lots shall be buildable, provided that: 1. The purpose of creating the conservation subdivision with smaller than normal lots is to ui;.i ii. +J1f=devel?xze"* o a ff-01.a,,b l h o13in`-oFt?+encourage and promote flexibility, economy, and environmental soundness in layout and design of residential developments only; B-.2. It is the intent of this. Section to allow lots that are smaller than normally allowed by too ('od:® where all or most of the lots in the conscrvatian subdivision are of a similar size. It is not the intent of this Section to allow the creation of small remnant lots in subdivisions where most lots meet the requirements stated herein; No lot may be created that is so narrow, has such little area, or that is so irregularly shaped that it would be impractical, as determined by the Zoning Advisory Commission at the time of the subdivision review, to construct a principal structure on it that: 1-a. Could be used for purposes that are permissible in that zoning district; and Dubuque, IA iJDC Adopted 00/00/0000 263 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 11 - Land Subdivision gib.

To facilitate solar access, streets in a solar subdivision shall be oriented in an east-west direction to the maximum extent possible or to within 20 degrees of such orientation. This requirement shall not apply to preliminary plats approved prior to the effective date of this Code, provided the final plat of the preliminary plat is submitted within six (6) months, or to final plates submitted with six (6) months of the preliminary plat approval or to portions of the subdivision where the applicant demonstrates that: A. There are other means of assuring solar access to lots in question, including but not limited to cluster development on large parcels or through the use of building setback or solar access easements. B. Topographic conditions on or surrounding the land being subdivided make such orientation unreasonable. C. The shape and size of the property being subdivided make such orientation unreasonable. D. Adopted storm; water management plans or policies indicate a different street orientation. E. Existing or approved future development contiguous to the subject property precludes adequate solar access to the portion in question. F. Existing street patterns contiguous to the subject property make such orientation unreasonable. G. Specific adverse environmental impacts would occur on the site if such orientation were achieved. H.

Major site plans shall include a natural area landscaping plan indicating how existing topography, natural features, and vegetation will be integrated into the overall site development. A conceptual landscape plan shall be submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and approved prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. All landscape plans shall be prepared to show the information required by the Planning Services Department. B. Street trees planted in the public right-of-way shall not be counted toward fulfilhnent of the minimum site requirements for number of trees. C. Existing trees and shrubs to be retained on site may be counted toward fulfillment of the landscaping requirements. D. Parking lot landscaping requirement in Section 12-12.6 shall not be counted toward fiilfillment of the minimum site landscaping. E. The minimum permeable area shall be 20% of the entire site under review, at least half of which shall be planted with permanent lawn and ground covers, shrubs, and trees. The remaining permeable area must be developed using two or more of the following low-impact development tools: 1. Bioswales: Vegetated swales with amended soil backfill and underdrains to improve infiltration or filtration. Dubuque, IA UDC Adopted 00/00/0000 281 Section III - Land Development Regulations Article 12 - Site Plans 2. Check dams: Where narrow areas and/or excessive grades force the constriction of less than ideal steep swales, rock check dams can be added to slow flows, minimize erosion, and improve infiltration or filtration. 3. French drains and soak-away pits: Rock-filled trenches that promote rapid infiltration or filtration. 4. Green roofs: Vegetated roofs that reduce run-off, improve energy efficiency, and create a green amenity. 5. Microbasins: Small depressions to create longer flow paths or localized depressions to encourage longer standing-water periods and infiltration or filtration. 6. Native plantings: Use of native plants to reduce the need for irrigation and reduce runoff. Native plants also slow runoff and improve infiltration or filtration with their deep, fibrous root systems. 7. Open water features: To reduce runoff through evapotranspiration, improve habitats, and create attractive community amenities. patZ4N1?

Rainwater harvesting systems: Cisterns and rain barrels that harvest water from roof drains and downspouts for landscape watering and nonpotable uses. 11. Reduced lot grading: Ground-slope reduction outside the immediate perimeter of a building (where foundation drainage is not a concern) to promote stormwater infiltration or filtration. 12. Swales: Serpentine, vegetated swales that convey water slowly and improve infiltration or filtration. 13. Trees and other plantings: Landscaping to intercept rainfall, reduce erosion, improve infiltration or filtration, slow runoff, and reduce peak flows. ?xtanNb ?I?fat-1 ? t2•P+? , .? / , I" Lai • F?Pi°? brov?,sv6r+r? 14. Tree filters: Systems that divert a portion of street stormwater from gutters into tree planters, where water infiltrates amended soils and surrounds plant roots. 15. Vegetative buffers: Bands of native plantings that intercept runoff from developed areas before it reaches detention basins or natural water courses (for pretreatment). ls1 v "z srau°\ r 16. Sidewalks and drives sloped toward open space: A tool to provide water for site vegetation, which slows surface water flow, improving infiltration. This technique eliminates the need for curbs, gutters, and catch basins, and the open space slows the transport of untreated water and associated pollutants while reducing construction costs.

Which would you rather have in your community? Advantages to communities • This is NOT "clustering". Conservation subdivisions preserve *50% to 70% or more of the buildable land in unsewered rural areas in place of conventional "all lawn" lot sizes of two to five acres. This is a much higher quality and percentage of land than *"clustering". • Protects clean water in lakes, rivers and streams and reduces stormwater run-off and treatment costs • Conserves groundwater as natural areas infiltrate water and reduce flooding • Clean air: Most trees and vegetation are left intact, helping combat climate change • Preserves your town's rural character, forests and fields, wildlife, and tourism/agricultural economies • Saves money: Preserves land at no cost to your community; reduces demand for public land acquisition • Same number of home sites as conventional subdivision development • Fair to developers and landowners: Proven more profitable and faster selling while reducing costs • Fair to homeowners: Higher home appreciation rates • Reduces costs: Municipal service costs are cheaper when homes are not widely scattered • Trails through natural lands: Children and adults exercise and improve health while enjoying nature *Conservation subdivision design can be used in areas served by public utilities (sewer, water) where the underlying density is higher, but the open space percentages would be correspondingly lower, for obvious reasons. In urban, sewered, high density areas zoned at 2-3-4 units per acre, preserving 40% open space, in addition to the unbuildable wetlands, floodplains, and steep slopes, is the norm. In rural, suburban edge areas at densities of 5 to 10 acres per dwelling, easily 70% (or more) of the land can be preserved. **Community officials and planners often mistakenly confuse conservation subdivisions with an outdated technique called "clustering".

This is the second in a series of fact sheets produced by the District Council of Mount Barker on Sustainable Residential Subdivision Design. Council's Development Plan identifies a number of areas within and adjacent to existing townships that are intended for residential development. A number of policies within the Development Plan require that residential development, including residential subdivisions, satisfy a range of sustainability objectives and principles. This is one of five fact sheets, which cover the following topics: ¦ Site Analysis ? Energy Efficiency ¦ Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) ¦ Biodiversity, Open Space and Buffers ¦ Sustainable Transport How does subdivision design effect energy efficiency? The size, shape and orientation of a residential allotment will determine how easy or difficult it is to achieve energy efficient house designs. So it's important to consider the orientation of roads and allotment design if the development is to maximise opportunities to orientate internal living areas and private open space to capitalise on solar access from the north. What is commonly referred to as passive solar design' means designing and orientating houses and private open space to allow solar access during the cooler months and prevent or minimise solar access during the warmer months. In doing so, occupants can minimise their energy costs associated with heating or cooling internal spaces, while improving the comfort and useability of indoor and outdoor space. The diagram below illustrates the ideal allotment orientation range to facilitate solar access for internal and external living areas. The preferred orientation range is for the long boundary of an allotment being between 200 west and 300 east of true north, or between 300 south and 200 north of east. For houses sited parallel to the boundary on lots beyond this range, winter heat decreases and careful sun control is needed to prevent overheating in summer. Of course, all of this assumes that the dwelling will be designed and orientated according to passive solar design principles.

It is also the easiest orientation to exclude solar access to internal living areas during the warmer months. While these are general 'rules, there are specific factors that also need to be taken into account, as detailed below. Fact Sheet Two - Energy Efficiency Page 1 of 3 2 sustainable residential subdivision design fact sheet series The District Council of Mount Barker What about sloping sites? On sloping sites, north facing sites improve opportunities for solar access while south facing slopes limit solar access. The steeper the slope, the greater the advantage or disadvantage. Accordingly, smaller allotments should be concentrated on northern slopes and larger/deeper lots on southern slopes. i1c)' VH I North slope bonus Slope affects solar access (Source: Energy Efficient Housing Manual, Energy Victoria, 1994) What about allotment size and shape? Generally it is desirable to include a mix of allotments sizes within a residential development project. Therefore, using the above information, it's desirable that the narrower and smaller allotments be located on the northern side of east-west streets. North-south aligned allotments on the south side of the street need to be wider to allow internal living space with a northerly orientation. This also allows for dwelling and site designs that could incorporate parts of the private open space to the side of the dwelling where it will achieve reasonable solar access. East-west aligned allotments need to be wider again to prevent overshadowing of adjacent dwellings or private open space on allotments to the south, and to allow dwellings to be set back from the northern boundary to allow solar access into north facing living space. It is also preferable to create regular and rectangular shaped allotments, rather than splay shaped allotments, to maximise lot yield efficiency and allow for standard house designs that address the street and achieve optimum solar access. norlh-south lots i F -solar access L.. . i I street front privacy wall house set forward to c e t l r a e arge sun \\` house set courtyard , L back Lot size and orientation affects solar access potential to private open space and internal living areas K maximises solar orientation poor solar orientation with awkward shaped lots Regular shaped allotments are more space efficient and better facilitate solar access Fact Sheet Two - Energy Efficiency Page 2 of 3 2 sustainable residential subdivision design fact sheet series Other influences on allotment size and road layout The slope of the land has implications for allotment design and solar access. It is also preferable to avoid locating smaller allotments on the steeper portions of land to both minimise the need for cut and fill and the resultant visual obtrusiveness of development. Generally, therefore, larger allotments should be located on steeper land. It is also desirable that roads generally follow the contours on sloping sites. Doing so will minimise the amount of cut and fill required to construct roads and to create benches for dwelling sites. Reducing the amount of earthworks associated with a residential development reduces costs and min imises energy inputs. Creating roads that follow rather than traverse contours can make it easier and more cost effective to implement stormwater management requirements. Another factor influencing allotment size is the existence of vegetation. Where a site contains vegetation to be retained, one way of ensuring its long term retention The District Council of Mount Barker and protection is to locate the vegetation on larger allotments that are of sufficient size to also accommodate a dwelling and outbuildings. This issue is discussed in further detail in Fact Sheet Four - Biodiversity, Open Space and Buffers. Making Trade-offs Sometimes other considerations, such as the desire to follow the contours of the land, will mean that the ideal orientation of roads and allotments for solar access will be compromised. Council recognises that it's not always possible to achieve the optimum energy efficient layout. The onus is on the applicant to clearly explain the design choices that have been made and the reasons for making such choices. This is usually best communicated with the assistance of a site analysis plan (see Fact Sheet One - Site Analysis). Generally larger allotments will allow sufficient flexibility to design a dwelling according to energy efficiency principles. Therefore, where it is not possible to achieve the preferred allotment orientation referred to above, larger (wider) allotments should be considered. - L1 U, - LlL -- L L -j. L= C3 ?- Roads that follow contours (left) minimise cut and fill, the need for unsightly retaining walls, and maximise long distance views. Roads that traverse contours (right) require retaining walls, which impair the streetscape, and increase the potential for overlooking into neighbouring properties. w' This Fact Sheet was produced by `=~?;'? ,,vr Jensen Planning & Design with funding assistance from Australian Government Government of South Australia South Australian Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board Fact Sheet Two - Energy Efficiency Page 3 of 3 04 ?Q nird Street` C LANGLEY, WASHINGTON Langley, Washington, is a small town on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound, an hour away from downtown Se- attle and Everett by road and ferry. The town is home to about 1,000 people and retains a village character despite being under moderate development pressure. In 1995, the city of Langley adopted the "Cottage Housing Development (CHD) Zoning Ordinance" to expand hous- ing options, foster strong neighborhoods, and retain and enhance Langley's rural character. The CND allowed de- tached homes at twice the previously allowable density in all single-family zones, up to 12 homes per acre. Third Street Cottages is the first development in Langley to be built under the CHD. Neighbors initially voiced a few concerns about added traffic and loss of. parking; how- ever, with just 12 residents and 10 vehicles added to the neighborhood, these worries proved unfounded. The de- velopment is three blocks from downtown shopping and dining, and it is close to bike paths and routes around the island. To maintain consistency with the town's character, the Langley Design Review Board established minimal pa- rameters on design, fencing, and landscaping of the de- velopment. Homes in the Third Street Cottages development sold for $140,000 to $150,000, with five of eight sold before con- struction was completed in 1998. The centerpiece of the community is a landscaped common area containing a garden, tool shed, mailboxes, and a workshop. It is de- signed to facilitate community interaction and build co- hesiveness. Though the cottages are no more than 975 square feet, the developers used natural light and archi- tectural details to make the spaces seem open and airy. Typical owners are singles, couples, or families with one SMART GROWTH PRINCIPLES THIRD STREET COTTAGES #1 Includes Mixed Land Uses #2 Exhibits Compact Building Design #3 Provides Range of Housing Types #4 Promotes Walkable Neighborhoods #5 Exhibits a Distinct Sense of Place #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 child. Preserves Open Space Utilizes Existing Development Provides Transportation Choices Practices Fair Decision-making Promotes Stakeholder Participation ? The success of Third Street Cottages has motivated other localities in the region to adopt similar zoning requirements and legalize the construction of cottage-style homes and neighbor- hoods. The town has been able to increase housing supply with minimal land consumption. Building these homes under Langley's previous zoning would have consumed up to three times as much land. Although the developer added a hydrant and extended the sewer collection system to accommodate development, the smaller footprint and location near the existing downtown saved construction costs, avoided road building, and used existing water services. "I grew up in wartime Maui, in a small cottage like this one," said owner Faith Smith to the Seattle Times. "This place reminds me of that very tight community where everyone kept an eye on each other.

Since each complete street is unique, it is impossible to give a single description. But ingredients that mi street include sidewalks, bike lanes (or wide paved shoulders), special bus lanes, comfortable and access crossing opportunities, median islands, accessible pedestrian signals, curb extensions, and more. A comp will look quite different from a complete street in a highly urban area. But both are designed to balance everyone using the road. Look at our 'Manv Tvoes of Complete Streets' slideshow to see examples from Why do we need complete streets policies? Complete streets improve safety. A Federal Highways Administration safety review found that streets de raised medians, better bus stop placement, traffic-calming measures, and treatments for disabled travel safety. Some features, such as medians, improve safety for all users: they enable pedestrians to cross bL reduce left-turning motorist crashes to zero, and improve bicycle safety.

DUBUQUE AREA GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM 2007 OLD TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT OVERLAY: DESIGN GUIDELINES The Old Town Neighborhood District (OTND) overlay areas have a strong neighborhood feel and retain a high level of their historic character. They generally contain a mix of small commercial mixed-use buildings and single and multi-family residential buildings. However, the corridors along major thoroughfares are more dominantly commercial and mix-use buildings. The neighborhood street corridors are more dominated by residential building types. Typically buildings are between two and three stories in height. Commercial storefronts and small residential yards line the street, giving the area a strong pedestrian scale and character. The streetscape varies between commercial storefronts set at the property line with attached sidewalks, and residential buildings with small setbacks and detached sidewalks with planting strips and street trees. Pwlr;ciples of OTND Design Guidelines These guidelines draw upon urban design principles that address how streets are designed to be active and pedestrian-friendly and to establish a sense of relatedness among properties. Many of these context-related and pedestrian oriented design concepts are commonly used in the design community as part of New Urbanism or Traditional Neighborhood Design. Dubuque's "old town" neighborhoods are the original urbanism that these modern urban designs seek to emulate. Emulating traditional buildings enhances the sense of visual continuity in OTND overlay areas of the community. Many of the design guidelines encourage designs that draw upon basic framework features of these established contexts. New, creative designs that reinterpret these traditional patterns are encouraged. Providing features which are visually interesting and that are in human scale are essential to creating a pedestrian-friendly environment. This may include storefront windows, display cases, art and landscaping. Components of Design 0- uidellihes Each chapter of the design guidelines contains the following components: Design Element The first is the design element category (e.g., streetscape elements, site planning, building materials and secondary structures) under which the design guideline falls. Policy Statement Second is a policy statement explaining the city's basic approach to treatment of the design element. This is the basis for the more detailed design guidelines that follow. In cases where special conditions in a specific project are such that the detailed design guidelines do not appear to address the situation, this general policy statement shall serve as the basis for determining the appropriateness of the proposed work. Design Guidelines Third is the design guideline statement itself, which is typically performance-oriented, describing a desired design treatment. The specific design guidelines are numbered and presented in bold face. Additional Information The design guideline statement is followed by supplementary information that is treated as sub- points of the guideline. These sub-points may include additional requirements, or may provide an expanded explanation. These sub-points are listed as bulleted statements. (•) Illustrations Design guidelines are further explained through the use of photographs and illustrations. The images used should not be considered the only appropriate options, but rather used as a guiding reference. In most instances, there are numerous possible solutions that meet the intention of the design guidelines as well as the needs of the property owner. In order to help the reader determine design approaches that are appropriate, many of the illustrations are marked with either a ? or an K. Those illustrations marked with a ? are considered appropriate solutions, whereas those illustrations marked with an X are not appropriate. 1.Desion Guidelines for all Properties A. Topography Policy: Site work should be planned to protect the assets of the existing topography. Guidelines: 1.1 Minimize cut and fill on a site. • Divide large grade changes into a series of benches and terraces, where feasible. 2 Design a building foundation to conform to the existing topography, rather than creating extensive cut and fill. • Step the foundation of a building to follow site contours, when feasible. • If stepping the foundation is not possible, disguise the cut with building placement and/or building walls, and provide a landscape buffer system at the top of cut. 000" -W 1.3 Minimize the visual impacts of cut and fill on a site. Where a large grade change is • Re-grade the site as a stable, "natural" slope, when necessary, divide the grade changes feasible. into a series of benches and terraces. 1.4 Respect historic settlement patterns. • Site a new building such that it is arranged on its site in a way similar to historic buildings in the area. This includes consideration of building setbacks and open space. B. Streetscape Policy: Maintain the traditional character of the streetscape. The character changes between commercial, industrial and residential areas. Guidelines: 1.5 Maintain the traditional character of the streetscape. • Commercial areas: Maintain wide sidewalks, street trees, light fixtures and furnishings. Consider adding similar features to accent the public sidewalk. • Industrial areas: Consider adding features such as consistent lighting fixtures and landscaping which complement the existing industrial character. • Residential areas: Maintain street landscaping and planting strips, which are typically found between the curb and sidewalk. Consider the use of additional street trees in these areas. 1.6 Maintain and incorporate landscape and streetscape features that are important in defining the historic character of the setting when feasible. • Preserve significant view corridors. • Retain significant topographic features. • When feasible retain the historic brick pavers found throughout the area. If this proves to be a hardship then salvage material upon removal and reuse in other streetscape or interpretive park/plaza improvements. C. Parking Policy: The visual impact of surface parking should be minimized. On site parking should be subordinate to other uses and the front of the lot should not appear to be a parking area. Guidelines: 1.7 Minimize the visual impact of surface parking in residential neighborhoods. • Locate and access a parking area at the rear of a site. • Do not use a front yard for parking. Instead, use alley access or a long driveway that leads to parking located behind a building. I I_ I I I I I, ? I I I J/ \1 J ?I ?P A I ddb iA I t? Q i 3 u?l I -1 1.8 Locate a surface lot in the interior of a block whenever possible. • This acknowledges the special function of corner properties. They are generally more visible than interior lots, serve as landmarks and provide a sense of enclosure to an intersection. 1.9 Site a surface lot so it will minimize gaps in the continuous building wall of a commercial block. • Where a parking lot shares a site with a building, place the parking at the rear of the site or beside the building. 1.10 Provide a visual buffer where a parking lot abuts a public sidewalk. • This may be a landscaped strip or planter. A combination of trees and shrubs can be used to create a landscape buffer. • Consider the use of a low or decorative wall as screen for the edge of the lot. Materials should be compatible with those of nearby buildings. D. Buffers Policy: When site development such as parking, storage and equipment areas create an unavoidable negative visual impact on abutting properties or to the public way, it should be mitigated with landscaping that may buffer or screen it. The landscape design should complement the existing natural character and context of the site. Guideline: 1.11 Landscape buffers should be provided along edges of parking and service areas. • Provide a landscape buffer at the edge of a parking lot and between parking lots. • Consider providing an evergreen landscape buffer at ground mounted mechanical equipment, service and/or storage areas. E. Site Lighting Policy: Standards for outdoor lighting are provided in the City's design standards. This section addresses some of the qualitative aspects of lighting design that should also be addressed. Light spill onto adjacent properties and into the night sky should be minimized. The light level at the property line is a key design consideration. This is affected by the number of fixtures, their mounting height, and the lumens emitted per fixture. It is also affected by the screening and design of the fixture. Guideline: 1.12 Shield lighting to prevent off-site glare. • Light fixtures should incorporate cut-off shields to direct light downward. 4 Provide a visual buffer where a oarkina lot abuts a public sidewalk. • Luminaires (lamps) shall not be visible from adjacent streets or properties. F. Service Areas Policy: Service areas should be visually unobtrusive and should be integrated with the design of the site and the building. Guidelines: 1.13 Orient service entrances, waste disposal areas and other similar uses toward service lanes and away from major streets. • Screen service entrances with walls, fences or planting. • When it will be visible from a public way, a service area screen should be in character with the building and site it serves. • Locate areas for outdoor storage, truck parking, trash collection or compaction loading, or other such uses so as not to be visible from abutting streets. 1.14 Position service areas to minimize conflicts with other abutting uses. • Minimize noise impacts by locating sources of offensive sounds away from other uses. • Use an alley system to locate service areas, when feasible. G. Mechanical Equipment Policy: Utility connection boxes, external fire connections, telecommunication devices, cables, conduits, satellite dishes, HVAC equipment and fans may affect the character of an area. These devices shall be screened from public view to avoid negative effects on historic resources. Guidelines: 1.15 Minimize the visual impacts of mechanical and HVAC equipment on the public way . and surrounding neighborhood. • Screen equipment from view. • Do not locate window equipment on a primary facade. • Use low-profile or recessed mechanical units on rooftops. • Locate satellite dishes out of public view. 1.16 Minimize the visual impacts of utility connections. • Locate utility connections on secondary walls when feasible. H. Sign Lighting Policy: The sign illumination source shall be shielded to minimize glare. Light intensity shall not overpower the building or street edge. Small and discreet modern light fittings may provide an unobtrusive alternative to traditionally styled lamp units. Guidelines: 1.17 Use shielded lighting source on a sign. • Direct lighting at signage from an external, shielded lamp is appropriate. • A warm light, similar to daylight, is appropriate. • Strobe lighting is not appropriate. • Internal illumination is not appropriate. 1.18 Halo illumination may provide an effective and subtle form of lighting which can be used to accentuate both sign and building. • This form of lighting can be used with either wall or sign panels or individual letters. • The light source shall not be visible. t)ireat(w y S (p This is a small scale sign located on the primary first-floor wall of any building containing multiple tenants to display the tenant name and location. Guideline: 1.19 Consider a directory sign for larger buildings with numerous occupants. • Consolidate small, individual signs and place them on a single panel as a directory to make them easier to locate. 1. Fences, Site Walls and Retaining Walls Policy: Fences, site walls and retaining walls are found throughout the Old Town Neighborhood District areas. Fences were typically associated with residential lots. Site walls are typically associated with parking areas. Retaining walls are found on sloped sites and are associated with several building types. Traditionally, front yard fences were relatively low in height and had a "transparent" character that allowed views into yards, providing interest to pedestrians. Solid plank wood fences were used occasionally along alley edges, but also were relatively low in height. A new or replacement fence should be similar in character with those used traditionally in the neighborhood. In addition, fences should relate in character to the principal structures on the lot. Site wall materials should complement the traditional architectural materials. In some areas, retaining walls are also found. They typically align along the edges of sidewalks, and help to establish a sense of visual continuity and should be maintained. Guidelines: 1.20 A new fence should be in character with those seen traditionally. • A fence that defines the front yard is usually low to the ground and "transparent" in nature. • Simple wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate materials. • Chain link and solid "stockade "fences are inappropriate. 1.21 A new site wall or retaining wall should be in character with those seen traditionally. • A retaining wall that defines the sidewalk edge or is used in the front yard should not exceed 36 inches. • Use materials that are similar to those used traditionally, such as cut rock and stone. 2. Desion Guidelines for New Commercial Buildings This chapter provides design guidelines for new commercial building types. These new infill buildings would reflect many of the design features found within traditional commercial buildings. The guidelines would also apply to new additions to non-historic commercial 6 buildings. This section would also apply to the commercial building portion of a transitional building type (See Chapter 5). A. Building Setbacks Policy: Buildings create a strong edge to the street because they are traditionally aligned on the front lot line and were usually built- out the full width of the parcel to the side lot lines. Although small gaps do occur between some structures, they are the exception. These characteristics are vitally important to the Main Street Historic District and in areas abutting the district where a street wall is a prominent feature. Guidelines: 2.1 Reflect the traditional setbacks seen within the block. • Place the facade of the building at the property line. This should only vary in very special circumstances. • Locating entire building fronts behind the established storefront line is inappropriate. B. Mass and Scale Policy: Building massing should fit with existing patterns, but need not directly copy them. Existing patterns and traditions in building massing include varied heights, articulated masses, visually interesting skylines and pedestrian-scaled street fronts. Building massing should continue to provide a variety of pedestrian-friendly scales and visually appealing masses. Buildings should not be monolithic in scale or greatly contrast with the existing scale in the area. A sense of human scale is achieved when one can reasonably interpret the size of a building by comparing features of its design to comparable elements in one's experience. Using building material of a familiar dimension such as traditional brick is an example, as is using windows of similar dimensions. To ensure that human scale is achieved in new development it is important to focus design attention on aspects most directly experienced by pedestrians, such as the scale of buildings and architectural details at the street level. For example, providing a storefront and a band of smaller upper story windows creates a human scale. These features are some of the important characteristics of commercial building types and should be respected in all new construction. (1), middle (2) and cap (3). Guidelines: 2.2 Maintain the average perceived size of buildings at the sidewalk. • Facade heights of new buildings should fall within the established range of the block, and respect the traditional proportions of height to width. • Floor-to-floor heights should appear similar to those of traditional buildings in the area. 2.3Traditional spacing patterns created by the repetition of uniform building widths along streets should be maintained. 7 New facade widths should reflect the established range of the building widths seen on the block. Where a building must exceed this width, use a change in design features to suggest the traditional building widths. Changes in facade material, window design, facade height or decorative details are examples of techniques that may be considered. These variations should be expressed through the structure such that the composition appears to be a collection of smaller building modules. 2.4 A new building should incorporate a base, middle and a cap. • Traditionally, buildings were composed of these three basic elements. Interpreting this tradition in new buildings will help reinforce the visual continuity of the area. 2.5 Position taller portions of a structure away from neighboring buildings of lower scale. • Where permitted by the base zoning, towers and other taller structures should be located to minimize looming effects and shading of lower scaled neighbors. Buildings should step down towards lower scaled neighbors, including adjacent historic properties and districts. 2.6 Establish a sense of human scale in building designs. • Use vertical and horizontal articulation to break up large facades. • Incorporate changes in color, texture and materials in building designs to help define human scale. • Use architectural details that create visual interest and convey a three-dimensional facade. • Use materials which help to convey scale through their proportions, detailing and form. • Size and locate signs to engage pedestrians and help define building entries. C. Horizontal Alignment Policy: A strong alignment of horizontal elements exists along the street. Alignment is seen at the first floor level with moldings that are found at the top of display windows; at upper floor levels, alignment is found among cornices, window sills and headers. This alignment of horizontal features on building facades is one of the strongest characteristics of the street and should be preserved. It is important to note, however, that slight variations do occur, which add visual interest. Major deviations from these relationships, however, disrupt the visual continuity of the street and are to be avoided. Guidelines: 2.7 The general alignment of horizontal features on building fronts must be maintained. • Typical elements that align include: window moldings, tops of display windows, cornices, copings and parapets at the tops of buildings. • When large buildings are designed to appear as several buildings, there should be some slight variation in alignments between the horizontal facade elements. 2.8 Define the first and second floors of commercial type buildings with clearly distinguishable details. • Changes in horizontal details and architectural panels may be used to help define the first and second floors. 8 • Changes in material, color, texture, pattern or wall plane may be used to help define the first and second floors. 3. Desian Guidelines for New Multi-Family Residential Building Tvpes This chapter provides design guidelines for new residential buildings including both single-family and urban residential types. Urban residential building types include multifamily structures such as apartment buildings and townhomes. These new infill buildings would reflect many of the design features found within traditional residential building types. The guidelines also apply to new additions to non-historic residential buildings. New residential style buildings could occur in a few locations where an existing enclave of these building types occurs as well as transition areas. This chapter would also apply to the residential portion of a transitional building type. A. Building Setbacks Policy: Building setback within a typical residential context reflects a hierarchy of public and private space. It is a progression that begins at the street, which is the most public space, then proceeds through the front yard, which appears "semi-private," and ends at the front door, which is the "private" space. This sequence enhances the pedestrian environment and contributes to the character of a residential neighborhood; it should be maintained where it dominates the block. Where the majority of the buildings align at the sidewalk edge, new infill buildings should maintain this alignment. Guidelines: 3.1 Maintain the traditional neighborhood setback. • In a traditional residential neighborhood, the front yard should be maintained with planting material and not covered with paving or large outdoor decks. • Align buildings at the sidewalk in traditional urban settings. 3.2 Provide a walkway from the street to the building in residential settings. • A walkway running from the street to the front porch provides unity to the streetscape. Where a walkway has been an element of the hierarchy, this should continue. 3.3 Clearly define the primary entrance by using a defined entry or a front porch in townhomes and single-family residential buildings. • The porch should be "functional," in that it is used as a means of access to the entry. 3.4 Orient a front porch or covered landing to the street. • While the porch serves as a transition area from the street to the building, it is also an essential element of the streetscape. It provides human scale to the building; it offers interest to pedestrians; and it is a catalyst for personal interaction. This should not be interpreted to exclude side porches. B. Mass and Scale Policy: Building massing should fit with existing patterns, but need not directly copy them. Existing patterns and traditions in building massing include varied heights, articulated masses, and pedestrian-scaled entryways. Building massing should continue to provide a variety of pedestrian-friendly scales and visually appealing masses. Buildings should not be monolithic in scale or greatly contrast with the existing scale in the area. A sense of human scale is achieved when one can reasonably interpret the size of a building by comparing features of its design to comparable elements in one's experience. Using a building material of a familiar dimension such as traditional brick is an example, as is using windows of similar dimensions. To ensure that human scale is achieved in new development, it is important to focus design attention on aspects most directly experienced by pedestrians, such as the scale of buildings and architectural details at the street level. For example, providing a front porch creates a human scale, especially in a residential setting. These features should be respected in all new construction. Guidelines: 3.5 Construct a new building to be similar in mass and scale to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • Traditional features that convey a human scale should be used. • Use building materials that are of traditional dimensions. The use of brick is encouraged. • Include horizontal elements in the design of residential buildings. For example, porches, balconies and eaves should be used to reflect the articulation of buildings in areas that are predominantly residential. • Use architectural details that create visual interest and convey a three dimensional facade. 3.6 On larger structures, subdivide larger masses into smaller "modules" that are similar in size to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • Other subordinate modules may be attached to the primary building form. 3.7 The front wall of a new structure should be similar in height to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • The primary plane of the front should not appear taller than those in the neighborhood. 3.8 A facade should appear similar in dimension to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • Facade heights of new buildings should fall within the established range of the block, and respect the traditional proportions of height to width. • Floor-to-floor heights should appear similar to those of traditional buildings in the area. 3.9 Position taller portions of a structure away from neighboring buildings of lower scale. • Where permitted by the base zoning, taller structures should be located to minimize looming effects and shading of lower scaled neighbors. • Buildings should step down towards lower scaled neighbors, including adjacent historic properties and districts. C. Secondarv Strur;t[UeS Policy: Secondary structures are traditionally subordinate in scale and character to a primary structure and are typically located to the rear of the lot, they are primarily used for parking garages and storage. While structures in the rear generally have little impact on the character of the street, they do have an impact on the character of the alley and the neighbors to the rear. This character should be maintained. 10 Guidelines: 3.10 A new secondary structure should be subordinate in height to those buildings seen traditionally along the street front. • Secondary structures that are no more than one-and-one-half stories in height are preferred. 3.11 Locate secondary buildings to the rear of the lot. • Locating a secondary structure to the side of the primary structure, but set back significantly from the front wall plane is also appropriate • A secondary structure should be oriented similar to those seen traditionally along the alley, where they are available. 3.12 Locate a garage such that its visual impacts will be minimized. • Garages should be located off an alley where possible. • On through lots where a garage must be accessed from the street, set it back from the front wall plane when feasible. 4. Desian Guidelines for New Transitional Buildina Tvpes This chapter discusses the guidelines for new transitional building types. A transitional building type is defined as a building that combines residential and commercial building types. This building type would be an appropriate infill in areas where a neighborhood context transitions from commercial to residential buildings. When providing these types of structures one should also follow the residential and commercial building type design guidelines to address specific elements such as storefronts, window patterns and porches. A. Building Setback Policy: When designing for a residential context, set the building back to align with others on the street. When designing in a commercial context, align the building at the sidewalk edge. (See also Chapter 3 and Chapter 4). Guideline: 4.1 Reflect the traditional setbacks seen within the block. • Locate a buildings face within the range of setbacks seen within the block. In mixed-use areas, commercial larger-scaled buildings typically anchored the corners. B. Mass and Scale Policy: The mass and scale of a mixed- use building is an important design issue to consider. Mixed-use buildings can enhance the pedestrian experience by reinforcing the established building's context. New construction should not be so dramatically greater in scale than the established context that the visual continuity of the neighborhood would be compromised. 11 A sense of human scale is achieved when one can reasonably interpret the size of a building by comparing features of its design to comparable elements in one's experience. Using a building material of a familiar dimension such as traditional brick is an example, as is using windows of similar dimensions. To ensure that human scale is achieved in new development it is important to focus design attention on aspects most directly experienced by pedestrians, such as the scale of buildings and architectural details at the street level. Guidelines: 4.2 Construct a new building to be similar in mass and scale to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • Traditional features that convey a human scale should also be used. Consider these techniques: - Use building materials that are of traditional dimensions. - Use vertical and horizontal elements - On residential portions provide a one-story porch that is similar to those seen traditionally. 4.3 On larger structures, subdivide larger masses into smaller "modules" that are similar in size to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • Other subordinate modules may be attached to the primary building form. 4.4 The front wall of a new structure should be similar in height to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • The primary plane of the front should not appear taller than those of typical historic structures on the block. 4.5 A facade should appear similar in dimension to traditional buildings in the neighborhood. • An established range of commercial and residential building front widths exists. Where additional width is desired it may be achieved with a setback or change in building plane. 5. Design Guidelines for New Industrial Building Types This chapter provides design guidelines to develop new industrial building types. These new infill buildings would reflect many of the design features found within traditional industrial buildings. The guidelines also apply to additions to non-historic industrial building types. A. 13tailding Setbacks When new buildings are to be constructed, they should reflect historic'siting patterns in the area. This does not mean that a new structure should literally fit within the footprint of an earlier building, but that the general spirit of the relationship of buildings to streets and open spaces should be conveyed. In many cases, warehouse buildings are aligned along their front sides. Reflecting this siting pattern is encouraged. Policy: Industrial buildings create a strong edge to the street because they traditionally aligned on the front lot line and were usually built out to the full width of the parcel. Guidelines: 5.1 Maintain the uniform alignment of the facade. 12 • Align the building front at the street edge. • Locating entire building fronts behind the established building line is inappropriate. B. Mass and Scale Policy: A new building should reflect the traditional massing of traditional industrial buildings. Because of the diversity of building sizes exhibited throughout the OTND overlay areas, a wide variety of building sizes will be suitable for development. A sense of human scale is achieved when one can reasonably interpret the size of a building by comparing features of its design to comparable elements in one's experience. Using a building material of a familiar dimension such as traditional brick is an example, as is using windows of similar dimensions. To ensure that human scale is achieved in new development it is important to focus design attention on aspects most directly experienced by pedestrians, such as the scale of buildings and architectural details at the street level. For example, providing a series of vertical pilasters and a band of windows creates a human scale. Some of the largest traditional industrial buildings included interesting fenestration which created visual interest, and is partially why the older industrial buildings are so visually appealing. These features are some of the important characteristics of the historic industrial building and should be respected in all new construction. Guidelines: 5.2 Maintain the average perceived size of buildings at the sidewalk. • Facade heights of new buildings should fall within the established range of the block, and respect the traditional proportions of height to width. • Floor-to-floor heights should appear similar to those of traditional buildings in the area. 5.3 A new building should incorporate a base, middle and a cap. • Traditionally, buildings were composed of these three basic elements. Interpreting this tradition in new buildings will help reinforce the visual continuity of the area. 5.4 Establish a sense of human scale in building designs. • Use vertical and horizontal articulation to break up large facades. • Incorporate changes in color, texture and materials in building designs to help define human scale. • Use architectural details that create visual interest and convey a three-dimensional facade. • Use materials which help to convey scale through their proportions, detailing and form. 13 0=?o SHARED PARKING WORKSHEET Required General Land Off- Weekday Weekend Use Category Street 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to Parking 7 a.m. 6 p.m. 12 a.m. 7 a.m. 6 p.m. 12 a.m. Office& 100 100x5%=5 100x100% 100x5%=5 100x0%=0 100x5%=5 100x0%=0 Industrial 100 Retail 100% 80% ° ? 0% o 5/0 0 600 % Restaurant 120 120 x 50% = 60 120 x 70% = 120 x 100% 120 x 70% = 120x50%= 120x100%= 84 =120 84 60 120 Hotel 100% 65% 100% 100% 65% 100% Residential 100% ? 50% 80% ? 1000/0 ? 75% ? 75% Theater/ 5% 20% 100% 5% 50% 100% entertainment Place of 0% 30% 50% 0% 100% 75% Assembly Shared N/A 65 184 125 84 65 120 parking space requirements Scenario: An office building with a parking requirement of 100 spaces whishes to share off-street parking with an adjacent sit- down restaurant. The restaurant has a parking requirement of 120 spaces. Process: By calculating the number of required spaces by the percentage of parking demand for each use (office and restaurant) for both weekdays and weekends, a shared parking requirement can be determined by using the highest two parking space requirements calculated. Result: In the above example, 184 spaces would be required rather than 220 spaces. The savings of 36 parking spaces reduces paved area by approximately 10,000 square feet or a l/4 acre.

This memorandum provides a response to those questions and concerns for City Council consideration at their third UDC work session on June 8, 2009. DISCUSSION At the May 27, 2009 work session, the City Council reviewed Articles 6 through 10 of the proposed UDC. Planning Services staff have reviewed the City Council's questions, and prepared the following responses regarding their UDC issues: 1. Allowing a home-based business to occupy more than 25% of a home. The City Council discussed allowing a home-based business to occupy more than 25% of total floor area. Council Members discussed raising this percentage to no more than 50% of total floor area. We discussed this request with Zoning Enforcement Officer Sue Brennan. Sue said that she did not have any concerns regarding the increased floor area for a home-based business up to 50%; however, the home-based business, as an accessory use, must be clearly incidental and subordinate to the primary use of the premises for a dwelling unit. 2. Allowing a home-based business to advertise an address. The City Council discussed allowing a home-based business to advertise an address. We discussed this request with Zoning Enforcement Officer Sue Brennan. Sue said that she did not have any concerns regarding the elimination of the requirement that a home-based business not use its address to advertise. She said that often the addresses are listed in the phone book and, therefore, impossible for the resident to remove in a timely basis. She did request that we replace the existing language on advertising with a prohibition on advertising a home-based business with either an on-premise or off-premise sign. Follow-Up to City Council Work Session #2 - Unified Development Code page 2 3. Enforcement process for demolition by neglect violations. The City Council asked how long the enforcement process takes for demolition by neglect before the City issues a citation/fine to the property owner. As we explained at the work session, staff typically wants to seek compliance rather than issue a citation. Building Services Manager Rich Russell has provided the enclosed memo that describes the process and how long it takes before we issue a citation. REQUESTED ACTION The requested action is for the City Council to review and comment on the recommendations. Enclosure cc: Kyle Kritz, Associate Planner Guy Hemenway, Assistant Planner Wally Wernimont, Assistant Planner James O'Brien, Assistant City Attorney 2 June 4, 2009 TO: Wally Wernimont, Assistant Planner FROM: Rich Russell, Building Services Manager SUBJECT: Demolition by Neglect Process The elapsed time before we issue a municipal infraction depends on the circumstances of the demolition by neglect. Here's an estimate: Week One: Intake, inspection and delivery of first letter. This letter will be advisory and request a timeline for repairs to be returned to us within 5 days of receipt of the letter. Week Two: Allows for the response of the property owner. If the timeframe is acceptable (this would vary based on scope/severity) ... Weeks Three though Six: We would allow at least a month for the repairs to be done) Week Seven: We'd follow up to see if the repairs are done. If not, we'd send another letter asking for an update within 5 days. Week Eight: Response from property owner. At this point, we'd allow an extension based on their circumstances or issue an infraction. To summarize, at least 2 months from discovery of the concern before a municipal infraction is issued.
