17.362.010 Purpose.
The subdivision planned unit development (PUD) process is established to encourage the development of single or multiple tracts of land as one project. An approved PUD may deviate from specific site standards as long as the PUD substantially complies with general purposes of the applicable standards of this title. The PUD approach is appropriate if it maintains compatibility with surrounding areas and creates an attractive, healthful, efficient, and stable environment. It is the intent of the PUD process to: achieve a more efficient use of land through shared facilities and services, thereby economizing on development costs; afford innovative design opportunities rather than the conventional lot-and-block land use so that a developer gains freedom in the placement and uses of buildings and open space, and in the design of facilities and traffic circulation systems; maximize development potential of building sites constrained by special features such as topography, shape, or size while minimizing the potential for hazardous conditions; and provide substantial active and passive open space and trail systems for use of nearby residents.

17.362.020 Preliminary PUD application contents.
(1) An applicant for a preliminary partition shall submit the materials required of CBDC 17.130.040 and 17.130.050 and the subdivision requirements of CBDC 17.367.030, Preliminary plat application contents.
(2) Applicant use of the services of an Oregon licensed land surveyor, or architect civil engineer, or landscape architect, is required to prepare the project design and application for a subdivision of four acres or less. For areas exceeding four acres, a professional design team comprised of at least a licensed Oregon architect, civil engineer, land surveyor and a landscape architect is required.

17.362.030 Approval criteria for a preliminary PUD.
The review authority shall evaluate a preliminary PUD against the approval in CBDC 17.367.040, Approval criteria for a preliminary plat, and the requirements of this chapter. [Ord. 541 § 6 (Exh. 1), 2021; Ord. 532 § 2 (Att. B), 2020; Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.317.030].
17.362.040 Permitted uses and property development requirements.
(1) Permitted Uses. With a PUD, the city may allow any permitted or conditional use with a conditional use permit in addition to the PUD in any zone of the city as a part of the land use permitting process.
(2) Density. Dwelling unit densities for subdivisions and residential non-subdivision development projects may exceed the allowed density of the zoning district but remain in compliance with the CBCP. The difference between the expanded density and the permitted density in the underlying zone shall be designed, sized and developed for affordability to individuals and families within 50 percent of the Coos Bay median income.
(3) Open Space and Public Access for Recreation. For subdivisions and commercial projects on more than five acres, open space and public access easements for use as recreation areas and/or open space on slopes less than 20 percent or over 40 percent of the total gross project area is required. The preservation and continued maintenance of property commonly owned and/or held for common use shall be guaranteed by a restrictive covenant running with the land specifying the description of the area, its designated purpose(s), and maintenance assurances. Copies of these legal documents shall be filed with the community development department before occupancy of any development or dwelling.
(4) Protection of Natural Features. Significant natural features shall be preserved and/or enhanced consistent with state of Oregon requirements. These include significant on-site vegetation, native plant communities, documented habitat, prominent topographic features such as ridgelines and rock outcrops and wetlands.
(5) Tree Installation. Introduction of 24-inch box trees at every 25 feet of property frontage that, upon full growth, fulfill a screening function, provide relief from glare, shade expansive areas of pavement, provide a buffer between potentially incompatible land uses and contribute to the project aesthetic.
(6) Energy Savings. Solar or another energy alternative shall be included in the subdivision.
(7) Access and Roads. The development shall provide private vehicular and pedestrian access from a dedicated and improved street. Private streets within the development shall meet the following minimum paving standards:
(a) Eighteen feet where no on-street parking is allowed.
(b) Twenty-eight feet where on-street parking is allowed only on one side of the right-of-way.
(c) Thirty-six feet where parking is permitted on both sides of the right-of-way.
(d) All private streets within a PUD shall be designed and constructed to city standards.
(e) An additional three feet on each side of pavement shall be designated as right-of-way area in which no construction shall take place.
(f) The review authority shall approve the names of all streets within the PUD. The owner or operator of the development shall furnish, install, and maintain street signs of a type approved by the review authority.
(8) Fire Protection. The PUD shall provide on-site fire protection facilities in accordance with current regulations and requirements of the city applicable to the development.
(9) Lighting. All lighting within the PUD shall comply with the requirements of CBDC 17.335.040; roads within subdivisions shall be lighted at night to provide a minimum of 0.35 foot-candles of illumination.
