1. The city may, using process III, modify required height, yard, landscape and other site design and dimensional requirements for a proposed development that meets the following criteria:

    a. The proposed development will be consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan policies for this zone; and

    b. The proposed development will be consistent with applicable design guidelines; and

    c. The street utilities and other infrastructure in the area are adequate to support the proposed development.

2. Multi-unit housing and accessory living facilities may be located on the ground floor of buildings on the subject property only if ground floor space that spans at least 40 percent of the total length of the buildings adjacent to the primary vehicular access, as determined by the director, is occupied with one or more other permitted use(s) that is open to the public. Parking in conjunction with other uses allowed in this zone may also be located on the ground floor of the structure if non-visible from the right-of-way or public areas.

3. Building height may be increased from the permitted outright height of 70 ft. to 85 ft. in exchange for providing publicly visible streetscape amenities, as defined in FWRC 19.05.190, along the right-of-way; the siting and design of which shall be approved by the director.

4. Structures on property that adjoins a single-family residential zone shall be set back a minimum of 20 ft. from the property line adjacent to the single-family residential zone. The height of structures shall not exceed 30 ft. above average building elevation when located within 100 ft. from such property line.

5. The subject property must provide usable open space in a total amount equal to at least 100 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Developments of five or fewer units are exempt from this usable open space requirement. At least 50 percent of the usable open space must be active open space. A minimum of 25 percent of the usable open space provided must be common open space. All eligible usable open space shall also meet the requirements specified in FWRC 19.115.115. A fee-in-lieu option is available for up to 50 percent of the usable open space as specified in FWRC 19.115.115. At least 10 percent of the common open space must be developed and maintained with children’s play equipment, except for housing for the exclusive use of persons over 55 years of age, in which case it shall be developed with age-appropriate equipment.

6. Any common open space requirements for senior housing or special needs housing may be reduced at the discretion of the director, if an open space study documents that less common open space will be adequate to serve the needs of the residents.

7. No maximum lot coverage is established. Instead, the buildable area will be determined by other site development requirements, e.g., buffers, parking lot landscaping, surface water facilities, among others.

Determined on a case-by-case basis

1. The city will determine the maximum number of residents and the number of dwelling units or occupancy rooms or suites permitted in the proposed development based on the following criteria:

    a. The specific nature of the occupancy and the persons that will be housed in the proposed development.

    b. The size of the dwelling units or occupancy rooms or suites and the specific configuration of the facilities within these units, rooms, or suites.

    c. The impacts on nearby residential uses of the proposed development.

    d. The architecture, site design, and other design features of the proposed development.

2.    a. Except as specified in subsection (2)(b) of this section, the facility must be:

    (1) Distanced at least 1,000 ft. from any school, park, church, playground, or day care center; measured by following a straight line, without regard to intervening buildings, from the nearest point of the parcel or property or land use district boundary line from which the proposed use is to be separated.

    (2) Distanced at least 1,000 ft. from any other group home type II, group home type III, or social service transitional housing, as defined by this title; and as measured by the same method as the separation requirement described herein.

    b. The city may, using the specified review process, approve this use regardless of its proximity to the uses specified in subsection (2)(a) of this section, based on the following criteria:

    (1) The extent to which the topography or physical features of the area would result in effective separation between existing uses and the proposed development.

    (2) The compatibility of the proposed use with nearby uses.

    (3) The lack of availability of alternative locations for the proposed use based on the separation requirements.

    (4) The extent to which the proposal is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.

3. The facility and program must secure and maintain all licenses and/or approvals as required by the state, including verification from the Department of Juvenile Justice, which shall be reviewed by the police department, that the proposed facility meets state standards for such facilities and that the facility will meet state laws and requirements.

5. The program must be operated under the authority of a reputable governing board, social service, government agency, or proprietor, to whom staff are responsible and who will be available to city officials, if necessary, to resolve concerns pertaining to the facility.
