B.

Density and intensity.

1.

The overall density of residential uses shall be established by the approved DP.

2.

The overall intensity of commercial uses shall not exceed 0.8 floor area ratio, except as provided in Section 5.5005.B.3.

3.

The City Council may approve intensity of commercial uses greater than 0.8 floor area ratio subject to any of the following criteria:

a.

The proposed DP provides improved dedicated public open space.

2.

Average setback. The front building façade shall be placed to achieve an average setback as specified in Table A. The average setback shall be equal to the land area located between the planned curb line and the front building façade divided by the width of the front building façade.

AVERAGE SETBACK DIAGRAM - THIS DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATES SECTION 5.5005.E.2.

 

 

3.

Designated scenic corridor or buffered setback.

The Planned Unit Development (PUD) District average setback shall not apply.

F.

Building envelope.

1.

Starting at a point thirty-six (36) feet above the minimum building setback line, the building envelope inclined stepback plane shall slope upwards at 1:1 (ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run) to a point measured forty-eight (48) feet above the minimum building setback line. Thereafter the building envelope inclined stepback plane shall slope upwards at 2:1 (ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run) on all sides of a property adjacent to public and private streets.

2.

PUD Developments abutting or adjacent to a residential zoning district shall have a building envelope inclined stepback plane of 1:2 (ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run) starting on the residential zoning district boundary, except as specified Section 5.5005.F.3.
