A. 
General Conditions.
1. 
A District "C-P" may be established on a tract of land in single ownership or under unified control, provided that a preliminary development plan for a planned business district has been prepared and submitted to the Planning Commission in compliance with the regulations and requirements of this Section.
2. 
The location of any District "C-P" shall be on property which has an acceptable relationship to major thoroughfares and the Planning Commission must satisfy itself as to the adequacy of the thoroughfares to carry the additional traffic generated by the development.
3. 
The plan for the proposed development must present a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and service facilities which shall have a fundamental relationship to the properties comprising the planned development and shall not adversely affect the uses of properties immediately adjacent to the proposed development.
4. 
The Planning Commission shall have power to make and adopt such rules and regulations as are necessary and proper to effectuate the purpose of this Section.
B. 
Preliminary Plan.
1. 
The proponents of a Planned Business District shall prepare and submit a preliminary development plan to the Director of Planning and Zoning for inspection and review, upon which plan the Director of Planning and Zoning shall advertise and hold a public hearing before the Planning Commission. This preliminary plan of the property to be zoned as a District "C-P", drawn to scale, shall show the boundaries of the property proposed to be zoned, the existing topography with contour intervals not greater than five (5) feet, unless waived by the Director of Planning and Zoning, and the proposed size, location and arrangement of buildings, parking areas, with proposed arrangement of stalls and number of cars, entrance and exit driveways and their relationship to existing and proposed streets, alleys and other public ways or public property and any additional information required by the Director of Planning and Zoning. The plan shall show sufficient proposed control grades to interpret the intent of the developer. The preliminary plan shall also show the development of adjacent properties within two hundred (200) feet, including the location and type of buildings and structures thereon. If the Planned Business District is proposed in an unplatted area, the preliminary plan shall be accompanied by a plat, giving the full legal description of the boundaries of the property to be included in the areas to be zoned as a Planned Business District.
[Ord. No. 2017-2935 § 1, 10-24-2017]
2. 
It also shall be accompanied by a plan, drawn to scale, showing the general arrangement of streets within the remainder of this ownership, which plat need not include more than one thousand (1,000) feet from the boundaries of the area to be zoned as a Planned District.
3. 
The developer shall indicate on the preliminary plan the stages which will be followed in the construction of the planned center.
4. 
If this preliminary plan is found to comply with the intent of the requirements and regulations as set forth in this Section, the Planning Commission shall, after public hearing, submit such approved preliminary plan to the Board of Aldermen with a recommendation for an amendment to the City's Zoning Code, which amendment is to provide for and establish a District "C-P" for the land covered by the preliminary plan.
5. 
Upon approval of the zoning change by amendment to the City's Zoning Code, the proponent shall, within two (2) years, submit a final development plan to the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation. The final development plan may be submitted separately for the first and successive stage of construction.
C. 
Final Plan.
1. 
It shall be the responsibility of the Director of Planning and Zoning to determine that each stage or all of the final development plan conforms to the intent of the preliminary plan on which the zoning change was made. The Planning Commission having reviewed the final development plan for any or all stages of the development and finding that it conforms to the intent of the preliminary plan shall approve such plan and file it for record in the office of the Director of Planning and Zoning.
[Ord. No. 2017-2935 § 1, 10-24-2017]
2. 
If the final development plan fails to conform to the intent of the preliminary plan submitted in support of the rezoning, such final development plan may be submitted to the Planning Commission as an amended preliminary plan, upon which the Director of Planning and Zoning shall advertise and hold a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The procedure shall be the same as for the original preliminary plan.
[Ord. No. 2017-2935 § 1, 10-24-2017]
3. 
No building permit shall be issued for any construction in this District "C-P" until the Planning Commission shall have approved the final development plan covering at least the first stage of development and notified the Board of Aldermen.
4. 
A final development plan, prepared for each succeeding stage, shall also be reviewed by the Planning Commission and when approved shall be filed in the office of the Director of Planning and Zoning.
[Ord. No. 2017-2935 § 1, 10-24-2017]
5. 
The proponents of a Planned Business District shall prepare and submit a schedule of construction, which construction shall begin within a period of one (1) year following the approval of the final development plan by the Planning Commission and the issuance of a building permit. Failure to begin the construction as scheduled shall void the plan as approved, unless a request for an extension of time is made by the proponents to the Planning Commission and approved by the Board of Aldermen. If for any reason the plan is abandoned or if the construction is terminated after the completion of any stage and there is ample evidence that further development is not contemplated, the order establishing such District "C-P" may be rescinded by the Board of Aldermen and the zoning of the entire tract or the portion which is undeveloped as a District "C-P" shall be changed to a suitable classification.
6. 
After the zoning change has been made and the final development plan has been approved and when, in the course of carrying out this plan, adjustments or rearrangements of buildings, parking area, entrances, heights or open spaces are requested by the proponents and such requests conform to the standards established by the approved final development plan for area to be covered by buildings, parking spaces, entrances, height, setback and other requirements, such adjustments may be approved by the Board of Aldermen upon application and after receiving the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
7. 
The plan shall meet the requirements stated herein as to use, height, open space, off-street parking and loading and all driveways or public access.

A. 
General.
1. 
Approval. Planned unit developments (PUDs) shall be allowed after recommendation by the Planning Commission and Board of Aldermen approval in any zoning district. No such planned unit development permit shall be granted unless such development will meet the use limitations of the zoning district in which it is located and meet the density and other limitations of such districts, except as such requirements may be lawfully modified as provided by this Code. Compliance with the regulations of this Code in no way excuses the developer from the applicable requirements of a subdivision ordinance, except as modifications thereof are specifically authorized in the approval of the application for the planned unit development.
2. 
Intent. These regulations are to encourage and provide means for effecting desirable and quality development by permitting greater flexibility and design freedom than that permitted under the basic district regulations and to accomplish a well-balanced, aesthetically satisfying City and economically desirable development of building sites within a PUD. These regulations are established to permit latitude in the development of the building site if such development is found to be in accordance with the purpose, spirit and intent of this Section and the City of Greenwood's Comprehensive Plan and is found not to be hazardous, harmful, offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment, property values or the character of the neighborhood or the health, safety and welfare of the community. It is intended to permit and encourage diversification, variation and imagination in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces and heights of structures for developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. It is further intended to encourage more rational and economic development with relationship to public services and to encourage and facilitate the preservation of open lands.
B. 
Conditions.
1. 
Area. No planned unit development shall have an area less than that recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by the Board of Aldermen as adequate for the proposed development.
2. 
Uses. A planned unit development which will contain uses not permitted in the zoning district in which it is to be located will require a change of zoning district and shall be accompanied by an application for a zoning amendment, except that any residential use shall be considered a permitted use in a planned unit development, which allows residential uses and shall be governed by density, design and other requirements of the planned unit development Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, and other recorded documents. [Ord. No. 2017-2935 § 1, 10-24-2017]
Where a site is situated in more than one (1) use district, the permitted uses applicable to such property in one (1) district may be extended into the adjacent use district.
3. 
Ownership. The development shall be in single or corporate ownership at the time of application or the subject of an application filed jointly by all owners of the property.
4. 
Design. The Board of Aldermen, after reviewing the recommendation of the Planning Commission, shall require such arrangements of structures and open spaces within the site development plan as necessary to ensure that adjacent properties will not be adversely affected.
a. 
Density. Density of land use shall be determined by approval of the site development plan.
b. 
Arrangement. Where feasible, the least height and density of buildings and uses shall be arranged around the boundaries of the development.
c. 
Specific Regulations. Lot area, width, yard, height, density and coverage regulations shall be determined by approval of the site development plan.
5. 
Open Spaces. Preservation, maintenance and ownership of required open spaces within the development shall be accomplished by either:
a. 
Dedication of the land as a public park or parkway system; or
b. 
Creating a permanent, open space easement on and over the said private open spaces to guarantee that the open space remain perpetually in recreational use with ownership and maintenance being the responsibility of an owners' association established with articles of association and bylaws which are satisfactory to the legislative body.
6. 
Landscaping. Landscaping, fencing and screening related to the uses within the site and as a means of integrating the proposed development into its surroundings shall be planned and presented to the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation to be presented to the Board of Aldermen for approval, together with other required plans for the development. A planting plan showing proposed tree and shrubbery plantings shall be prepared for the entire site to be developed unless approved by the Board of Aldermen to be submitted and approved on a per-plat basis. A grading and drainage plan shall also be submitted to the Planning Commission with the application.
[Ord. No. 2017-2935 § 1, 10-24-2017]
7. 
Signs. The size, location, design and nature of signs, if any, and the intensity and direction of area or floodlighting shall be detailed in the application and comply with Chapter 430: Signs.
8. 
Desirability. The proposed use of the particular location shall be shown as necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility that will contribute to the general well-being of the surrounding area. It shall also be shown that under the circumstances of the particular case, the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing in the vicinity of the planned unit development.
C. 
Planning Commission Recommendation And Board Of Aldermen Determination.
1. 
Considerations. In carrying out the intent of this Section, the Board of Aldermen shall consider the following principles:

A. 
Statement Of Intent And Purpose. The "150 PD" District is a planned district designed to encourage retail development along Missouri 150 Highway. In addition, the "150 PD" District is identified as one (1) in which the physical character and design plays an important role in assuring compatibility with the surrounding residential areas. Review of certain performance standards, specified below, is recognized as essential for the establishment and maintenance of the character of the district. Properties zoned "150 PD" are not intended as single-family, office centers or industrial uses, but as mixed uses that are primarily retail uses with secondary uses such as individual offices (for example: real estate office) or loft apartments.
B. 
Approval. Land may be zoned as District "150 PD" (M-150 Corridor Planned District) by the Board of Aldermen on its own motion, subject to proper notification. The owner or an agent of the owner may also file an application to rezone property. Application shall be submitted to the Director of Planning and Zoning. The Planning Commission shall consider each application and make its recommendation to the Board of Aldermen, which shall then make a determination as to approval, approval with conditions or disapproval of the request. Property may be rezoned to District "150 PD"; however, before any development or platting can occur on the property, a development plan must be approved on the property by the Board of Aldermen upon recommendation by the Planning Commission.
