18.20.010: PURPOSE AND INTENT:
A. PURPOSE: In accordance with city policy to guide major land development projects, the purpose of this
district is to encourage innovation and special features in planned unit development (hereinafter referred to
as "PUD") by embracing and promoting projects proposing any of the following, but not necessarily all:
1. A combination of land uses and development patterns in harmony with development intensity, multi-
modal transportation, community design, and community facilities objectives of the City of Chubbuck
Comprehensive Plan; however, unless otherwise stated in this section, a mix of land uses or housing
types is not requircd in a PUD.
ORDINANCE - Page 1
chubbuck 021821 ord 18.20 PUD.wpd
2. A maximum choice of living environments by allowing a variety of housing and structure types,
permitting an increased density per acre, and accepting a reduction in lot dimensions, yards, setback,
and area requirements.
3. A more useful network of bicycle and pedestrian paths, open space, and recreation areas accessible to all
and supportive of healthy commuting and active living, and if included as part of a mixed use project,
more convenience in access to employment and services.
B. INTENT: The intent of the PUD Zone is to further the policies of the City of Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan
to a greater extent than would a traditional zone, by providing a zoning district with a better mix and
arrangement of land uses than are typically found separately in mutually exclusive, traditional zoning
districts to:
1. Promote the public health, safety, and welfare;
2. Reduce suburban sprawl, under -developed sites, and agricultural land development on the ex -urban
fringe;
3. Promote increased community interactions through careful site development which emphasizes
pedestrian and bicycle modalities;
4. Encourage a variety of housing types and affordability that accommodate residents' needs through all
stages of life;
5. Establish reasonable design standards for development and redevelopment in order to ensure that the built
environment is sustainably desirable and stable, that property values are stable and maintained, and to
enhance the image of the City of Chubbuck; and
6. Allow for innovative designs that create visually pleasing and cohesive patterns of development and
multi -modal transportation.
18.20.020: RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER LAND USE REGULATIONS:
Whenever there is a difference between the provisions of this chapter and those of other chapters, the provisions
of this chapter shall prevail. Unless otherwise authorized, subjects not governed by this chapter shall be
governed by the respective provisions found elsewhere in this title.
18.20.030: ELIGIBILITY:
The PUD process is not intended to skirt development rules nor result in a detrimental impact on the
surrounding community through its implementation.
A. EUGIBiurY: A PUD may be permitted if a developer desires flexibility from specific conformance with
zoning regulations as applicable to individual lots or traditional subdivision regulations provided they can
meet the requirements for a PUD located within this chapter. The PUD process is intended to provide
flexibility, latitude, and relief from the provisions of the zoning ordinance only if the proposed development
is consistent with at least two (2) of the following instances and approved as set forth herein:
The development offers a maximum choice of living environments by allowing a variety of housing and
building types.
2. The development promotes mixed use projects which are functionally integrated within the development
and provides services or benefit to the primary use. For the purposes of this chapter, a mixed use project
means the incorporation of more than one of the following land use groups: residential, commercial,
industrial, and civic/institutional.
ORDINANCE - Page 2
chubbuck021821 ord 18.20 PURwpd
3. The development provides a layout which preserves and properly utilizes natural topography and
geologic features, historic resources, scenic vistas, and beneficial trees or other vegetation.
4. The development parcel is constrained or otherwise limited by some obstacle, feature, geometry,
condition, or easement that interferes with applying standard development processes.
5. The development qualifies as infill per this chapter.
6. The development encourages infill that further implements the City of Chubbuck comprehensive plan and
other plans, such as for parks or the downtown area.
B. MIIVmum AREA:
1. Residential: A PUD shall contain an area of not less than one (1) acre.
2. Commercial, Industrial, or Mixed Uses: A PUD shall contain an area of not less than three (3) acres.
3. Residential Infill PUD: There shall be no minimum area requirement for a PUD meeting the infill
standards per section 18.20.60.E, but design must accommodate requirements of this code.
4. Downtown Area: For a Residential, Mixed Use or Commercial PUD in the Downtown Area there shall be
no minimum area requirement, but design must accommodate requirements of this code. For the
purposes of this chapter, the downtown area shall be defined with the following boundary:
a. Union Pacific Railroad on the east, Interstate Highway 86 on the south, a line approximately 400 feet
west of Yellowstone Avenue on the west, and a line approximately 300 feet north of Chubbuck
Road on the north.
b. Parcels northwest of the Yellowstone Avenue and Chubbuck Road intersection are included in this
description.
5. Sites over five (5) acres are also eligible for Creative Community (CC) zoning and development.
Qualifying sites are encouraged to consider development as a CC.
C. OWNERSHIP AND DmEmom A PUD shall be developed under single ownership or direction or be the
subject of a joint application by the owners of all property included. An application for approval of a PUD
may be filed by a person or persons having contractual interest in the property, but must include written
consent of the recorded owner or owners of property included in the development. Unless otherwise
provided as a condition for approval of a PUD, the applicant may transfer units of any development for
which approval has been granted; provided, that the transferee shall complete, use, and maintain each such
unit in conformance with the approved PUD Master Development Plan (hereinafter referred to as "MDP").
Perpetual maintenance arrangements of common areas shall be arranged in the Codes, Covenants, and
Restrictions (CC&Rs) as described in 18.20.040.D.
D. QUALIFYING LOCATIONS: A PUD Zone may be proposed in any part of the City.
18.20.40: PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF A PUD:
PUDs are allowed in any area within the city; provided the following procedure is utilized and the plan is
approved by the City Council (hereinafter referred to as "Council") after appropriate public hearing and review
by the Land Use and Development Commission (hereinafter referred to as "Commission"). In reviewing any
PUD, the Commission and the Council shall take into account the criteria and standards set forth in
subsection 18.28.040.0 of this title.

contained herein, and to familiarize the developer with the Comprehensive Plan and land use and
development regulations.
C. OPTIONAL SKETCH PLAN REVIEW: After holding a Planning Conference, and before applying for a PUD zone
and MDP, the developer may elect to present a sketch plan of the proposed PUD to the Commission and
Council for review and comment as business items with each body. A sketch plan is not a formal PUD
application, and comments or feedback from the Commission and Council shall be non-binding. A PUD
sketch plan review shall include, at a minimum:

space variations, and the amenities, design, and other incentives allowing greater intensity.
4. Topography and significant natural features on and adjacent to the property.
D. PUD ZONE AND MDP: An application for a PUD zone and a MDP shall be filed concurrently with the public
works director by a property owner or person having existing interest in the property for which the PUD is
proposed. Together the applications shall follow the process and procedures described in 18.28 for a zoning
map amendment.

development plan within two (2) years.
a. Issuance of building permits may be delayed if the construction of amenities, open space, and
landscaping is not in substantial compliance with the approved schedule and phasing plan.
b. Compliance and adjustments to the schedule and phasing plan for open space and landscaping
may be influenced by weather and seasons.
4. Existing features of the development site, including all transportation systems, waterways, major
utilities, easements, floodplain boundaries, topography, structures, and major areas of woodlands or
other native vegetation,
5. A design statement or manual with proposed design and architecture guidelines, and architectural and

plans for perimeter transitions as described in 18.20.070 B. The MDP application shall be
accompanied by a written statement by the developer setting forth the reasons why, in his opinion,
the PUD and associated deviations from city zoning and street standards would be in the public
interest.
10. Engineering feasibility studies and plans showing, as necessary, water, sewer, irrigation, drainage,
and waste disposal facilities; street improvements and cross-sections if they differ from city
standards. The plan shall show the adequacy and suitability of the utilities and streets proposed to

13. Any other appropriate supplementary information that may also be required by the Public Works
Director.
14. Where any information required by this section is similar to information required to be presented by
the developer for a preliminary plat in compliance with title 17 of this code or the PUD zone
application, such information may be utilized for both purposes. However, consideration and
approval of a subdivision shall occur by separate application, presentation, and action.
E. APPROVAL OR DENIAL:
1. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the application, the Commission shall hold a public hearing and
review the PUD Zone and MDP proposal, and recommend to the Council whether the PUD Zone and
the MDP be approved as presented, approved with supplementary conditions or disapproved. The
Commission shall then transmit all files constituting the record and the recommendation to the Council.
