ordinance. A timeline may be imposed as a condition upon
the granting of a Specific Use Permit. If a time limit
expires, unless the ordinance granting the Specific Use

' 1. Pumose - The City Council of the City of Allen, Texas, after public
hearing and proper notice to all parties affected and after recommendation
from the Planning and Zoning Commission may authorize the creation of a
Planned Development District.
This district is designed to permit flexibility and encourage a more creative,
efficient and aesthetically desirable design and placement of buildings, open
spaces, circulation patterns, by allowing mixture or combination of uses,
and to best utilize special site features such as topography, size and shape.
A Planned Development District may be used to permit new or innovative
concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts in this
Ordinance. While greater flexibility is given to allow special conditions or
restrictions which would not otherwise allow the development to occur, the
requirements established herein ensure against misuse of increased
flexibility.
2. Approval Process and Procedure - The procedure for establishing a
Planned Development District shall follow the procedure for zoning
amendments as set forth in Section 4.03. The applicant for a Planned
Development District shall comply with the zoning amendment procedure
for a change in zoning district classification. An applicant for a Planned
Development District shall specify the base zoning district, the proposed
' use or combination of uses, proposed development regulations including all
requested deviations from the base zoning district and any other
requirements of this ordinance or the subdivision ordinance, and be
accompanied by a Concept Plan, (or Detail Site Plan, in lieu of a Concept
Plan). The Concept Plan (or Detail Site Plan if appropriate) shall be
attached to and made a part of the ordinance establishing the Planned
Development District.
3. Permitted Uses - A Planned Development District may contain any use or
combination of uses permitted in the Schedule of Uses in the appendix of
this ordinance. Uses shall conform to the standards and regulations to the
base zoning district stated in the ordinance establishing the Planned
Development District.
4. Planned Development Reouirements
a) Base Zoning District - The ordinance establishing a Planned
Development District shall specify the base zoning district. The
specific uses permitted in the base zoning district which are to be

the ordinance. Any additional uses not permitted in the base
zoning district most also be specified in the ordinance. In selecting
a base zoning district, the uses allowed in the base zoning district
' must be similar or compatible with those allowed in the Planned
Development District. Any variations or deviations to the base
zoning district or other provisions of this ordinance shall be stated
Ordinance No. 1741-7-" Page 8
in the ordinance. The Planned Development District shall conform
to all other sections of the ordinance unless expressly provided
'
otherwise in the granting ordinance.

Council shall require and approve a Concept Plan as part of the
ordinance granting the Planned Development District. A Detail
Site Plan may be submitted in lieu of the Concept Plan.
(1) Concept Plan - This plan shall be submitted by the
applicant at the time of application. The plan shall
graphically show the applicant's intent for the use of the
land within the proposed Planned Development District. If
the ordinance establishing a Planned Development District
approves a Concept Plan, a Detail Site Plan shall be
submitted to the Director of Planning for approval within
six (6) months after the approval of the Concept Plan by the
City Council and prior to preliminary plat approval and the
issuance of any building permit in accordance with section
2.09 of this Ordinance. The Detail Site Plan shall conform
to the Development Regulations and the approved Concept
Plan. Changes of detail on the Detail Site Plan, which
differ from the approved Concept Plan, but do not alter the
basic relationship of the proposed development to adjacent
property, the uses permitted, increase the density, building
height, coverage of site, off-street puking ratio, or area
regulations as indicated on the approved Concept Plan may
be authorized by the Director of Planning. A Detail Site
Plan may be submitted for the total area of the Planned
Development District or for any sections or part as
approved on the Concept Plan. If the Director of Planning
disapproves the Detail Site Plan, the applicant may appeal
the decision to the Planning and Zoning Commission. If
the applicant initially submits a Concept Plan but fails to
submit a Detail Site Plan within six (6) months after City
' Council approval of the ordinance establishing the Planned
Development District, the Concept Plan shall be reviewed
by the City Council to determine the continued validity of
Ordinance No. 1741-7-99, Page 9

dedicated to the City, open space or common areas,
parkland, preliminary lot arrangements and street
patterns, indication of each phase of development if
separate phases are proposed, and other
information to adequately describe the proposed
development. A preliminary plat illustrating the
requirements herein may be utilized as a Concept
Plan for residential development.
For residential development (such as multi -family)
which does not propose individual platted lots, the
concept plan shall also show the size, type and
location of buildings, building sites, lot coverage,
access, screening, parking and circulation areas,
and landscaped areas.
(b) Nonresidential Concept Plan - A Concept Plan for
other than residential uses shall show site

District. The Detail Site Plan shall be a scale drawing
which graphically shows the same information required for
' a Concept Plan for the respective type of development. All
development and construction shall conform to the
approved Detail Site Plan. An amendment to a Detail Site
Plan approved as a part of the ordinance establishing the
Planned Development District is a change in zoning district
classification and must follow the same procedures set forth
in Section 4.03, except the Director of Planning may
approve minor revisions which do not alter the basic
relationship of the proposed development to adjacent
property, the uses permitted, increase the density, building
height, coverage of site, off-street parking ratio, or area
regulations as indicated on the approved Detail Site Plan.
The approval of the Detail Site Plan shall be the basis for
the issuance of a building permit, but does not release the
applicant of the responsibility to submit plans to the
building official for a building permit.
d) Compliance - Development Regulations, the Concept Plan or the
Detail Site Plan are conditions that must be complied with before a
Certificate of Occupancy may be granted.
5. Oven Svace - For all residential uses (including multi -family uses) within a

reserved primarily for the leisure and recreational use of the occupants of
the residential uses. The open space shall comprise not less than one (1)
acre of land for each seventy-five (75) dwelling units. Applicants are
discouraged to submit a Concept Plan which varies from the requirements
for open space set forth herein without a recommendation of approval by
the Planning Director. The amount of open space for developments of ten
(10) acres or less or which include lots 18,000 square feet in size or greater
may be varied downward by the City Council when a lesser amount of
open space would be more appropriate to the density of the development,
or where the availability and stature of adjacent public open space is such
that a lesser amount of open space would adequately protect the health,
safety and welfare and promote the orderly development of the Planned
Development District. The determination of whether land is eligible for
open space shall be within the discretion of the City Council.
For purposes of this section, open space shall include:
a) land area accessible to and permanently reserved for the common
use and enjoyment of the occupants of the residential uses within
the Planned Development District for leisure and recreational
purposes (not including area devoted to parking, accessory uses or
for required landscaping or building separation);

oversizing of utility systems, perimeter streets, mandatory construction or
dedication of park or open space area, landscaping or greenbelt
development or other comparable items, phasing of the development,
maximum density or intensity of use during the construction process, and
the maintenance of open space.
7. All Planned Development Districts approved in accordance with the
