TOWN OF OCEAN ISLE BEACH PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE ADOPTED IN EFFECT FEBRUARY 13, 2001 This ordinance has been prepared by the Ocean Isle Beach Planning & Inspections Department.
Section 66-55. Planned Unit Developments. Article II. Districts. The intent of this section is to allow for the planning and development of certain tracts of land in a more flexible and creative manner than would otherwise be allowed by this chapter. Except as noted within this section, Planned Unit Developments shall follow guidelines and procedures established within the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance for the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. (1) Location. Planned Unit Developments shall be allowed only on the mainland areas within the planning and zoning jurisdiction of the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. No Planned Unit Development shall be permitted on the island area of the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. (2) Minimum size. A Planned Unit Development shall be located on a site containing at least ten (10) contiguous acres. Planned Unit Developments may be strictly residential, strictly commercial, or mixed commercial and residential. See 6(e) for additional regulations on mixing of commercial and residential uses within a Planned Unit Development. (3) Phases of Development. The Planned Unit Development may be developed in phases in accordance with the phasing schedule submitted as part of the approved Preliminary Master Land Use Plan. (Improvement guarantees must encompass an entire phase). (4) Ownership. The tract must be in single (individual or corporate) ownership. (5) Permitted uses. In areas that are primarily residential in nature, the following uses shall be allowed upon approval as outlined in subsection (7) of this section: Single family, two family, and multi family dwellings; accessory use structures relative to the principal use; and recreational amenities such as private clubhouses, private tennis courts, private pools, private docks, and golf courses. In areas that are primarily commercial in nature, the following uses shall be allowed upon approval as outlined in subsection (7) of this section: Multi family dwellings; hotels and motels; commercial retail businesses providing low bulk commodities such as groceries, drugs, apparel, gifts, and variety and convenience merchandise; offices; restaurants; personal service establishments such as beauty salons; accessory use structures relative to the principal use; and churches. 1
(6) Design Standards. a. Setback lines. No building or structure shall be closer than twenty-five feet from any project or tract property line. Any commercial occupancy shall be separated from any residential occupancy within or outside the Planned Unit Development by a minimum of 35 feet. b. Separation. Building separation distances shall be a minimum of ten feet unless otherwise indicated within the North Carolina Building Code. c. Residential density. The maximum residential density shall conform to the zoning requirement of the district in which the Planned Unit Development is located. The calculation of density shall be computed by dividing the total heated square footage for the project by 2,000 square feet per unit and applying this to the total project area. (Sample calculation: 20,000 square feet of heated square footage/2,000 square feet per unit/2 acres = 10 units/2 acres = 5 units per acre) Total project area does not include any areas that are designated as ecologically sensitive. d. Commercial density. The maximum commercial density shall conform to the zoning requirement of the district in which the Planned Unit Development is located. The calculation of density shall be computed by dividing the total square footage for the project by 2,000 square feet per unit and applying this to the total project area. (Sample calculation: 20,000 square feet of heated square footage/2,000 square feet per unit/2 acres = 10 units/2 acres = 5 units per acre) Total project area does not include any areas that are designated as ecologically sensitive. e. Commercial Use Within Planned Unit Developments. Mixing of commercial and residential uses within a Planned Unit Development is permitted in residentially zoned areas as long as there are at least twenty (20) acres or more of land. The developer may designate an area not greater than five (5) percent of the total acreage for commercial use, excluding golf courses. Commercial use within a Planned Unit Development shall be designed and located to serve primarily the residents of the Planned Unit Development. Such use is encouraged to be located on and face an internal street of the development. f. Open space. In planned unit development projects, a minimum of 15 percent of the gross acreage shall be reserved as open space. Any area or segment of an open space less than 50 feet in width cannot be calculated as usable open space unless it is clearly part of an overall open space system, such as a pedestrian walkway, in which case a 2
minimum of 20 feet shall be permitted. Wetland areas shall not account for more than 50% of the open space requirement. Provisions for continuous maintenance of open space set aside in accordance with the above regulations shall be made by the developer through establishment of a private homeowner s association or, in the case of commercial Planned Unit Developments, a private property owner s association. Open areas that are required as part of a stormwater control device or septic system area shall not be included as provision of open space for the purpose of meeting the requirements of this section. The purpose for provision of open space is to provide a common area with a park atmosphere for the pleasure and enjoyment of the residents of the Planned Unit Development. g. Wetlands. Ecologically sensitive lands such as marsh, Carolina Bays, pocosins and swamps are to be preserved whenever possible for the pubic interest. Density credit may be applied to these areas upon approval of the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners as long as such areas are granted as perpetual conservation easements. Note: The following is an example of how full density credit may be applied. If a proposed project area consists of 10 acres and 2 acres are determined to be ecologically sensitive lands, the project density will be calculated based on ten acres, however, development will be allowed only on the eight acres not determined to be ecologically sensitive. h. Commercial Buffer. A distinct buffer that separates and partially obstructs the view between single-family and commercial or between single-family and multi-family by a minimum of 50% is required within the Planned Unit Development. (A buffer for the purposes of this use shall be considered as natural or planted vegetation located between a structure and a property line intended to separate and partially obstruct the view of two adjacent land uses or properties from one another.) i. Utilities. Provision of utility services shall be underground. Adequate easements and rights-of-way for ingress and egress for maintenance also shall be provided. All utilities shall be placed within the right-ofway, and not located under the paved portions of the street (except for lateral crossovers). Water and Sewer. Provision of water and sewer to each housing unit and non-residential structure shall be in accordance with the Ocean Isle Beach Subdivision Ordinance Section 50-96 and Utilities Ordinance Chapter 58 and any other applicable state, federal, or local regulations. 3
Electrical, Telephone and Cable. Electrical, telephone and cable service shall be underground. All underground wiring shall be in accordance with the Ocean Isle Beach Subdivision Ordinance Section 50-96. (A written statement by the utility company authorized to provide electrical service to the Planned Unit Development, stating their commitment to install electric utilities, may be accepted in lieu of financial assurance guarantees.) j. Streets/Internal Trafficways Creative design of circulation routes and trafficways is encouraged. A base characteristic of a Planned Unit Development is that the internal circulation routes or streets do not follow fixed linear geometric lines as do most streets. Instead, circulation routes are curvilinear and of meandering character, to preserve tree and landscape features. Slower-paced traffic movements, private restrictions for extremely low speed limits, and provision of bumper-strips at intervals in the pavement make generous use of such features. Pedestrian-oriented communities also are encouraged to enhance the quantity of pedestrian activity and to improve the quality of the pedestrian experience. Streets shall conform to the requirements in Section 50-95 of the Ocean Isle Beach Subdivision Ordinance. Provisions for Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic shall be made in accordance with the currently adopted Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic Plan for the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. k. Stormwater Planned Unit Developments shall provide stormwater drainage systems in accordance with the Ocean Isle Beach Stormwater Management Ordinance and North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Where a Planned Unit Development is traversed by a natural or constructed drainage-way, an easement shall be provided conforming with the lines of such drainage-way and of sufficient width as will be adequate for the purpose. (7) Improvement Guarantees. Shall be in accordance with 9(D)(2). (8) Exemptions. Except as required in subsection (5) of this section, planned unit developments are exempt from the application of minimum lot area, width and yard requirements shown for the individual zoning districts. All other sections of the zoning ordinance are applicable to planned unit developments. (9) Submission and approval requirements. 4
A. A Pre-Submission Conference between the applicant and the Technical Review Committee (TRC) shall occur as the initial step in the PUD approval process. The owner/applicant shall submit 5 copies of a Conceptual Land Use Plan to be reviewed by the TRC. The Conceptual Land Use Plan must show at a minimum; major thoroughfares, acreage and development type (i.e., residential, commercial, open space) of each phase, vicinity map, density, Flood Zones(s) and proximity of nearest water and/or sewer main. The purpose of this conference is to provide assistance and guidance to the applicant for the efficient review and consideration of the proposed project. Any effort to secure this conference is the sole responsibility of the applicant. B.
