3.09 Planned Unit Developments
The purpose of this Section is to establish the requirements for Planned Unit Developments
(PUDs). PUDs allow flexible development standards, unique street cross-sections, and more
variety in permitted uses. They are especially appropriate when developing properties with
unique topographic, geotechnical, or other constraints. They also encourage innovation and
creative approaches for developing land. In exchange for the ability to modify development and
use standards, PUDs must provide common open space and enhanced public amenities.

3.09.01 Allowable Types and Minimum Area of PUDs
A. Transfer of Density PUD
A Transfer of Density PUD shall consist entirely of property in any residential zone, or
in more than one residential zone. A Transfer of Density PUD may only be used to
transfer residential density from undevelopable areas of a site (riparian corridor,
floodplain, wetlands, unstable soils or slopes) to developable areas of a site, but not to
increase the overall number of dwelling units allowed on the site. Note: This
development option is often called cluster housing.
2. There is no minimum site area for a Transfer of Density PUD.
B. Residential PUD
A Residential PUD shall consist entirely of property zoned RS, RSN, RIS, or P/SP, or
in more than one such zone. A PUD is not allowed in the Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay District (NCOD).
2. A Residential PUD shall contain a minimum of two acres.
C. Mixed -Use PUD
A Mixed -Use PUD may consist of property in any zone or zones. A Mixed -Use PUD
is not allowed in the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD).
2. A Mixed -Use PUD shall contain a minimum of three acres.
Woodburn Development Ordinance Section 3.09 Page 161 EXHIBIT A
3.09.02 Allowed Uses
A. Transfer of Density PUD
Single-family dwellings, manufactured dwellings, duplexes, row houses, and
multiple -family dwellings shall be allowed in a Transfer of Density PUD.
B. Residential PUD
Any use allowed in any residential zone shall be allowed in a Residential PUD (see Table
2.02A). No separate Conditional Use process shall be required for any use that is described
in the Detailed Development Plan and the project narrative.
C. Mixed -Use PUD
Any use allowed in any zone shall be allowed in a Mixed -Use PUD (see Table 2.02A).
No separate Conditional Use process shall be required for any use that is described in
the Detailed Development Plan and the project narrative.
2. Mixed -Use PUDs are limited to a maximum of one third of the gross area of the
non -district uses. There shall be no net increase of commercial or industrial area.
Example: Commercial or industrial uses are limited to one third of the gross area of a
residential zone. Residential uses are likewise limited to one third of the area of a
commercial or industrial zone but are unrestricted in a residential zone.
Industrial uses shall be separated from residential uses (whether within the PUD or
outside it) by at least 30 feet, except for one dwelling unit in conjunction with an
industrial use, as allowed by Table 2.04A.
3.09.03 Density Transfer
A. Any PUD may be used to transfer residential density from undevelopable areas of a site
(riparian corridor, floodplain, wetlands, unstable soils or slopes) to developable areas of a
site. Up to 40 percent of the density may be transferred, except as provided in Sections B
through G, below. No more than 100 percent of the density may be transferred.
B. If the PUD dedicates to the City or provides an easement for a trail or bike path shown in
any adopted City Plan, an additional 20 percent of the density may be transferred.
C. If the PUD dedicates to the City property abutting a public park, the Commission may allow
up to an additional 20 percent of the density to be transferred, commensurate with the
amount and usability of the property dedicated.
D. If the improved common area of the PUD is available for use by the public, the Commission
may allow up to an additional 10 percent of the density to be transferred, commensurate
with the amount and usability of the improved common area. The area must be permanently
posted with a sign reading, "This common area is available for use by the public."
E. If the PUD plan proposes landscaping or buffering that exceeds the WDO minimum
standards by at least 25 percent, the Commission may allow up to an additional 20 percent
of the density to be transferred, commensurate with the amount, quality, and variety of the
enhanced landscaping or buffering.
Woodburn Development Ordinance Section 3.09 Page 162 EXHIBIT A
F. If the PUD plan proposes stormwater mitigation measures that exceed minimum City
standards by at least 25 percent, the Commission may allow up to an additional 10 percent
of the density to be transferred, upon a recommendation by the Public Works Department.
G. If the PUD plan proposes other environmental, sustainability, or architectural enhancements,
the Commission may allow up to an additional 10 percent of the density to be transferred,
commensurate with the amount, quality, and community benefit of the enhancements. Such
enhancements may include, but are not limited to, solar heating or electrical generation,
community gardens, public art, mitigation of off-site stormwater, and greywater diversion.
3.09.04 Conceptual Development Plan
A. PUDs require both a Conceptual Development Plan and a Detailed Development Plan.
These reviews may be accomplished sequentially or as a consolidated review, at the
applicant's discretion.
B. A Conceptual Development Plan shall include drawings and a narrative describing the
surrounding neighborhood, existing site conditions, general development areas, phasing,
land uses, building envelopes, architectural theme, landscaping and buffering, streets,
bicycle and pedestrian circulation, common areas, utility locations, sign theme, and other
information the Director may deem necessary to convey the concept plan.
3.09.05 Detailed Development Plan
A. PUDs require both a Conceptual Development Plan and a Detailed Development Plan.
These reviews may be accomplished sequentially or as a consolidated review, at the
applicant's discretion.
B. No building, grading, access, or other development permit may be issued until a Detailed
Development Plan has been approved for at least one phase of the project.
C. Buildings shown on a Detailed Development Plan are exempt from Design Review if they
are in substantial conformity to the Detailed Development Plan (see Section 3.07.01.13).
D. A Detailed Development Plan shall include drawings and a narrative sufficient to
demonstrate compliance with the Conceptual Development Plan and any conditions of
approval previously imposed. A Detailed Development Plan shall provide specific
information regarding the site layout, architecture, and proposed amenities. A Detailed
Development Plan that proposes land uses not in the Conceptual Development Plan or that
deviates by more than ten percent from any development standard in the Conceptual
Development Plan for any phase, or that does not meet the standards of this Section shall not
be approved. The applicant may request that the decision -maker approve such a plan as an
amended Conceptual Development Plan.
3.09.06 Development Standards
A PUD is intended to allow flexibility in the development standards of Sections 3.01 through
3.10. The Detailed Development Plan may propose modified standards without a separate
Woodburn Development Ordinance Section 3.09 Page 163 EXHIBIT A
Variance. Any standard that is not proposed for modification shall apply to the PUD. The
development standards stated below shall not be modified through the PUD process.
A. Common area and density shall comply with Table 3.09A.

other street sections, provided that the streets:
a. conform to the Oregon Fire Code (see Figures 3.04C and 3.04D)
b. include sidewalks, and
c. are constructed to the specifications of the Public Works Department.
D. Parking
If a front setback of less than 20 feet is proposed, the requirement of Section 3.05.03 for an
improved parking pad for single-family and duplex dwellings may be satisfied by on -street
parking or by a common off-street parking lot.
E. Signs
1. A PUD may include a sign plan to require a common architectural design and location.
2. The standards of the Mixed Use Village (MUV) zone shall apply to commercial uses in
the residential zones of a Mixed -Use PUD.
3.09.07 Modifications to an Approved Detailed Development Plan
A. The Director may administratively approve minor modifications to an approved Detailed
Development Plan.
B. Major modifications are those that propose to change the proposed uses, increase density,
relocate buildings, parking, or access points, reduce common area or the amenities provided
in improved common area, or, in the opinion of the Director, are more than minor
modifications. Major modifications to an Approved Detailed Development Plan shall be
reviewed as a Modification of Conditions pursuant to Section 4.02.07.
3.09.08 Nullification
A. Nullification of a PUD shall be reviewed as a Modification of Conditions pursuant to
Section 4.02.07. The burden of proof is on the applicant to justify nullification of the PUD,
giving substantial evidence that:
Developing the property under conventional standards and regulations will not create
nonconforming development;
2. Special circumstances, such as building relationships, drainage ways, public
Woodburn Development Ordinance Section 3.09 Page 165 EXHIBIT A
improvements, topography, and so forth that were to be addressed through the PUD can
be dealt with as effectively with conventional standards;
Conditions of approval of the PUD can be met with conventional standards, or are no
longer necessary; and
4. No prior commitments involving the property (such as density transfer, public
improvements and activities, building relationships, recreational facilities, open space,
or phasing of development) were made that would adversely affect the property, other
properties, or the City.
3.09.09 Owners/Tenants Association

A. A PUD may be developed in phases, pursuant to Section 5.03.05.
B. Phases shall be functionally self-contained with regard to access, parking, utilities, open
spaces, and similar physical features, and capable of occupancy, operation, and maintenance
upon completion.
C. The phased provision of common areas and improvements shall be roughly proportional to
the development of housing and other elements intended for private ownership.
D. At least one improved common area sized to accommodate a circle 25 feet in diameter shall
be provided with the first phase.

adversely affect the efficient development of any adjoining land or access thereto.
2. That the proposed development is served with City streets, water, sewer and storm
drainage facilities with adequate capacity.
3. That the plan for the development takes into account topography, vegetation and other
natural features of the site.
4. That adequate measures have been planned to alleviate identified hazards and
limitations to development:
a. For wetlands, these shall be the measures required by the Division of State Lands
for regulatory wetlands.
b. For unstable areas, these measures shall be documentation as approved by the
Public Works Department, ensuring that streets and building sites are on
geologically stable soil, considering stress and loads.
5. If phased, that the development of the subdivision is balanced with the need for
urbanization within the Woodburn Urban Growth Boundary.
6. That the requested flexibility in development standards is justified by commensurate
public benefits.
7. That the proposed PUD is compatible with surrounding developments and
neighborhoods.
8. That the tentative plan complies with all applicable provisions of this ordinance.
