    1. Site Design

      Site design should be regulated in order to ensure compatibility of building types regardless of use and to create a cohesive development pattern. In order to allow maximum flexibility, site design standards are not specified for the PVD district. Instead, standards compatible with the village pattern as described in C.2. of this Section shall be provided by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission at the time of approval of the Master Plan. One set of standards should be established for civic uses and a second set for all other uses. Standards should meet the intent of the village pattern described in C.2. of this Section, and should be submitted in a format similar to that shown in Table 2.7.2.

    TABLE 2.7.2 Note: Table 2.7.2 is illustrative only. It is intended as a guide, not a standard for site design.

    1. Architectural Design
      1. Architectural design shall be regulated, governed, and enforced as architectural design standards by an association of property owners in order to ensure compatibility of building types and to relate new buildings to the building traditions of the region. These standards shall be contained in private convenants, declarations, or restrictions of the property owners’ association and shall be approved in concept by the Planning Commission at the time of approval of the Master Plan. Changes in architectural design standards may occur from time to time thereafter if approved by the Planning Director and the property owners association.
      2. Architectural design standards shall specify the materials and configurations permitted for walls, roofs, openings, street furniture, and other elements. Architectural standards should encourage the following: architectural compatibility among structures within the village; human scale design; pedestrial use of the village; relationship to the street and to surrounding buildings; and special architectural treatment for civic buildings.
    2. Parking and Loading
      1. Parking facilities for motor vehicles and bicycles shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 9, Parts 1 and 2 and in accordance with this sub-section. When the requirements of Chapter 9 conflict with this sub-section, the requirements of this sub-section shall be applied.
      2. Parking lots shall be located at the rear of a building. If located adjacent to a street or a residential use, screening shall be provided. If the village center is located adjacent to a heavily traveled roadway such as an arterial, up to two rows of parking in front of the non-residential buildings may be allowed.
      3. Parking lots may not be adjacent to a street intersection or square, or occupy lots which terminate a street vista.
      4. Shared parking facilities are encouraged in the village center. Uses in the village center may provide required parking anywhere within the village center.
      5. In the village center, on-street parking allowed along property lines adjacent to a street may be counted toward the parking requirement for that lot.
      6. Bicycle parking should be provided in the village center and near transit stops, schools, and parks. Bicycle parking may be shared between uses and should be centrally located, easily accessible, and visible from streets or parking lots.
      7. Off-street truck loading or unloading berths and on-street loading zones adequate to serve each proposed use shall be provided. The number and size of off-street loading berths and/or on-street loading zones shall be shown on the Final Plan.
    3. Signs.

      Signs shall be consistent and compatible with the village pattern as defined in C.2. of this Section. In order to allow maximum flexibility, sign restrictions contained in Chapter 8 shall not apply within a village. Instead, sign standards shall be provided by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission at the time of approval of the Master Plan. Outdoor advertising signs shall not be permitted within the PVD District. The following information is illustrative only. It is intended as a guide, but not a standard, for signs.
      1. All signs shall be attached, awning, canopy, or projecting signs. Freestanding signs shall not be permitted, with the exception of real estate rent/sale signs.

    4. Landscape

      Development within the PVD District shall not be required to meet the landscaping and buffering regulations contained in Chapter 10, Part 2, but shall be required to be developed in accordance with the remaining provisions of Chapter 10. Standards for street trees, buffering and screening for parking areas should be developed as Part of the Master Plan Report and should address species type, size, and spacing tree strip and planting bed size and planting medium requirements. All required landscape elements should be shown on the Final Plan as well as on the construction documents. The location and design of open space, required as part of the Final Plan submittal, should include information such as finished grading, plantings, location and type of proposed recreational equipment and landscape furnishings, lighting, pavement pattern and materials, proposed water features, and any other public facility such as restores or drinking fountains.
    5. First Final Plan

      After approval of a Master Plan and zone change to the PVD District, a Final Plan shall be submitted for review as outlined in D.1. of this Section. The first Final Plan in a village shall contain (a) a section of contiguous village general and village center, and (b) a section of village edge contiguous with the village general or village center, or contiguous or non-contiguous open space.
  2. Procedures.
    1. Plan Review Process.
      1. Overview of Review Process.

        The PVD District review process includes six steps. The first step, concept plan review, requires one of the following alternatives: a pre-application conference with Planning Commission staff or a public charrette. The second step is to secure a recommendation of approval of the zone change request and approval of a Master Plan by the Planning Commission; and thereafter to secure final action by the legislative body. The third step, Final Plan review, may be combined with a Preliminary Subdivision Plan review. This step may cover an entire development or a section of development and is conducted by the Technical Review Committee to ensure conformance with the approved Master Plan. Steps four and five, Construction Plan and Record Plat review, are required under the Subdivision Regulations in order to subdivide land. Step six is a site plan review by the Planning Commission staff for all development sites except for a single family use.

        Table 2.7.3

        Zone Change / Development Approval Subdivision Approval
        1. Concept plan - Planning Commission staff review and/or a public charrette.  
        2. Master Plan - Technical Review Committee (TRC) and LD&T review, Planning Commission approval, and Planning Commission recommendation of the zoning change. Final action by legislative body.
        3a. Final Plan -TRC approval. 3b. Preliminary Subdivision Plan - TRC approval.
          4. Construction Plan - Agency approval.
        5. Record Plat - Agency approval.
        6. Site Plan for building permit - Planning Commission staff approval required except for single family use.
      2. Concept Review.

        The applicant may choose to request a pre-application conference with Planning Commission staff and/or to conduct a public charrette for review of a Concept Plan. The applicant must provide an opportunity for the first and second tier property owners to review the concept plan before a zone change application is submitted. Pre-Application Conference - Prior to formal application for amendment of the Zoning District Map, the applicant or his/her agent may have a conference with the Planning Commission staff to discuss the effect the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning District Regulations, the Metropolitan Subdivision Regulations, and other land development controls would have on the proposed development. It is intended that the conference also discuss apparent characteristics of the site that would affect the proposed development. In addition, the pre-application conference may be used to determine what elements may be required on the Master Plan required in the PVD district. Public Charrette - A public charrette may be held by the applicant or his/her agent, with written notification at least 14 days prior to the first day of the charrette to the Planning Commission staff, owners of surrounding property within 200 feet of the proposed development site, and any persons, agencies or organizations the applicant and Planning Staff deems appropriate. A public charrette is a method of planning which is specifically organized to encourage the participation of everyone who is interested in the making of a development or plan, whether they represent the interests of the general public, public agencies, or a client. Charrettes are intensive planning sessions in which: 1) all those influential to the project develop a vested interest in the design and support its vision; 2) a group of design disciplines work in a complementary fashion to produce a set of finished documents that address all aspects of design; 3) this collective effort organizes the input of all players at one meeting and eliminates the need for prolonged discussions that typically delay planning projects; and 4) a better product is produced more efficiently and more cost effectively because of this collaborative process. At the end of the charrette, the concept plan and supporting documents are presented to the public. A summary of input from the charrette must be submitted to the Planning Commission with the zone change application. Requirements of the Concept Plan - The applicant shall prepare a Concept Plan demonstrating compliance with the PVD District’s purpose and standards for review in the pre-application conference or during the public charrette process. The Concept Plan shall include the following:
        1. Scale, date, north arrow and vicinity map with measurements to nearest existing streets:
        2. Boundaries and approximate acreage of subject property; general location and description of streams, jurisdictional wetlands, conveyance zones, regulatory floodplains, topography and woodlands;
        3. Existing uses of the property;
        4. The location of site plan components required in the PVD District (for example, village edge, village general, village center);
        5. Number of residential units proposed and approximate square footage of commercial, office, and service uses proposed;
        6. Existing and proposed streets and alleys, and connections to existing street system;
        7. General location, size and type of open space;
        8. General provision for handling storm water drainage, sanitary sewage and drinking water.
      3. Master Plan Review.

        Following the pre-application conference or public charrette, a Master Plan shall be submitted for review by the Planning Commission, accompanied by a filing fee in the amount established by resolution of the Fiscal Court and an application for a zone change of the land involved to the PVD District in accordance with the submittal requirements stated in D.4. of this Section. Simultaneous Applications - An applicant may file simultaneously with the zone change application and Master Plan any applications for Preliminary Subdivision Plan and/or Final Plan approval required by this Section. Technical Review Committee - Upon acceptance of the application as complete, the Master Plan shall be presented to the Technical Review Committee (TRC) to identify, negotiate, and resolve technical issues and conflicting agency requirements and to make recommendations to the LD&T Committee. Land Development and Transportation Committee - Upon review by the TRC, the Master Plan shall be presented to the Land Development and Transportation (LD&T) Committee of the Planning Commission. The LD&T Committee shall review the plan for issues requiring clarification and shall confirm the date for a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Planning Commission - Following review by the LD &T Committee, a public hearing with public notice as specified in KRS Chapter 100 shall be held before the Planning Commission to consider the application. This hearing may be continued from time to time as necessary to facilitate such changes, conditions and additions in the Master Plan as may be agreed upon by the Planning Commission and applicant. Based on the Master Plan, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation of the legislative body pursuant to KRS 100.211. Legislative body - Following action by the Planning Commission, the application shall be considered by the appropriate legislative body. Based on the application as amended and the recommendation of the Commission, the legislative body shall approve, remand back to the Planning Commission for amendments or additions, or deny the application. The first Final Plan approval shall be requested within 12 months of the date of Master Plan approval by the legislative body. The Planning Director may extend the 12 month period for an additional 12 months provided the request is made in writing prior to the expiration of the initial 12 month period. Subsequent requests and requests received after the 12 month period may be made in writing to the LD&T Committee by the applicant and shall be approved by the LD&T Committee if it finds that circumstances justify the request.  
      4. Preliminary Subdivision Plan and Final Plan Review.

        After approval of a Master Plan and zone change to the PVD District, a Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan shall be submitted to the TRC for review. A Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan may be submitted for all of a planned development or for a section of development. If the TRC finds that the Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan conforms to the approved Master Plan, the TRC may approve the Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan or, at its discretion, may refer the Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan to the Planning Commission for approval. If the TRC finds that the Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan are not in conformance with the approved Master Plan: (a) the applicant may revise the Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan to conform with the approved Master Plan; or (b) the applicant may apply for an amendment to the Master Plan as set forth in D.2. of this Section, below. TRC recommendations may be appealed to the LD&T Committee. Appeals may be requested by applicants or other persons on forms supplied by the Division of Planning and Design Services. Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan review is primarily intended to determine compliance with the approved Master Plan, specific guidelines of this Section, and the terms of any prior conditional approval of the project. Approval of a Final Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan shall be valid for one year and extensions may be granted in accordance with Chapter 7 (Subdivision Regulations) of the Land Development Code. Simultaneous Submittals - Applications for Preliminary Subdivision or Final Plan approval may be submitted for review simultaneously with applications for Master Plan review. In such cases any approval of Preliminary Subdivision or Final Plans must be conditioned upon the approval of the Master Plan and zone change. If the approved Master Plan includes any additions or conditions by the legislative body, any Preliminary Subdivision or Final Plan undergoing simultaneous review may be referred back to the TRC to ensure conformance with the approved Master Plan.
    2. Amendments to Approved Master Plans.
      1. Minor Amendments.

        The Planning Director may administratively approve minor revisions to a Master Plan, in consultation with appropriate agencies, if the Planning Director determines that the revision meets the guidelines of this Section and there are no adverse effects on areas that are Part of a Final Plan. Minor amendments are appealable to the Planning Commission. The following are minor revisions:
        1. The layout of a transportation network may be revised if the Planning Director determines that (a) the basic layout remains the same, and (b) the revised layout functions as well as the previous layout.
        2. The location of a transit shelter may be revised if the Planning Director determines that the revised location functions as well as the previous location.
        3. Architectural standards may be revised if the Planning Director determines that the revision will not substantially change the character of the village and if the property owners’ association approves the revision.
      2. Major Amendments.

        All amendments other than those described above are major amendments. Major amendments shall be processed in the same manner as the Planning Commission reviews the original Master Plan, including notification of the first and second tiers of property owners around the property. The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment and shall give public notice of said hearing at the applicant’s expense, including posting a notification sign on the property.
    3. Exceptions.

      If the Planning Director determines that any of the items required to be included in the Master Plan or Final Plan map or report are inapplicable or irrelevant to a proposed planned development, such item may be waived by the Planning Director. The Master Plan report shall identify the items missing and include a brief explanation of why they are irrelevant, inapplicable or not submitted. With the concurrent of the Planning Director, some items to be included in the Master Plan or Final Plan report may be combined with others or shown on the Master Plan or Final Plan map, provided no confusion or ambiguity thereby results.
    4. Requirements of the Master Plan.

      Along with the zone change application, the applicant shall submit a Master Plan. No Master Plan application shall be deemed accepted unless complete and containing all of the following:
