Low or medium density residential (up to 50 and including 6.0 units per <br /> 0.5 <br /> acre) <br /> High density residential (in excess of 6.0 units per acre) 1.0 <br /> *FAR=Total Building Floor Area/Total Lot Area <br /> Individual lots within a development in the RPUD district may exceed these standards as long as <br /> the average meets these standards. <br /> (7) Development standards for attached and multifamily dwelling structures. Each site rezoned to <br /> RPUD and developed for attached or multiple-family dwelling uses shall be subject to the <br /> following standards: <br /> a. Setbacks and separation of uses. Within the RPUD district the setback for all attached and <br /> multifamily dwelling buildings and their accessory buildings from any bordering or abutting <br /> street line shall be 35 feet for local streets and 50 feet from railroad lines or collector or <br /> arterial streets, as designated in the comprehensive plan, except that in no case shall the <br /> setback be less than the height of the building. The setback for all buildings from exterior <br /> RPUD site lot lines not abutting a public street shall be 35 feet, except that in no case shall <br /> the setback be less than the height of the building. Building setbacks from internal public <br /> streets shall be determined by the city based on characteristics of the specific RPUD site. <br /> Parking lots and driving lanes shall be set back at least 20 feet from all exterior lot lines of a <br /> RPUD site. The setback for parking structures, including decks and ramps, shall be 35 feet <br /> from local streets and 50 feet from all other street classifications,except that in no case shall <br /> the setback be less than the height of the structure. Parking structure setbacks from external <br /> lot lines shall be 50 feet or the height of the structure, whichever is greater, when adjacent <br /> to residential properties; 35 feet, when adjacent to nonresidential properties. Parking <br /> structure setbacks from internal public or private streets shall be determined by the city <br /> based on characteristics of the specific RPUD site.Where industrial uses abut developed or <br /> platted single-family lots outside the RPUD site, greater exterior building and parking <br /> setbacks may be required in order to provide effective screening.The city council shall make <br /> a determination regarding the adequacy of screening proposed by the applicant. Screening <br /> may include the use of natural topography or earth berming,existing and proposed plantings <br /> and other features, such as roadways and wetlands, which provide separation of uses. <br /> Property rezoned to RPUD shall be considered a residential district for purposes of <br /> determining building and parking setback requirements on adjacent high density residential, <br /> commercial and industrial property outside the RPUD. <br /> b. Height limitations. For properties guided for residential use in the comprehensive plan, a <br /> building height limit of 30 feet shall apply. For properties currently zoned or guided in the <br /> comprehensive plan for commercial use, height may exceed 30 feet but shall not exceed <br /> three stories (not including underground parking level) and shall maintain a residential <br /> character by incorporating pitched or hipped roof structure. No mansard or flat roofed <br /> multiple-family building will be allowed. <br /> c. Outside storage limitations. Building materials, recreational vehicles, boats, RV's, <br /> snowmobiles,and other items of personal property shall not be stored outside within any site <br /> used for attached or multifamily uses. <br /> Page 5 <br />
