The planning commission may recommend, and the council may approve, a rezoning to apply the PD overlay zone only for a project that incorporates a minimum of three of the following four features:

A. A minimum of twenty-five percent of the residential units within the project are affordable to households of very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. (See Chapter 17.140: Affordable Housing Incentives for incentives provided for affordable housing development, including density bonuses and possible fee waivers.)

B. The project will achieve greater energy efficiency than standard developments through the incorporation of green building techniques, scoring at least a Silver rating on the LEED or other equivalent rating system, or achieving zero-net energy use.

C. The project will preserve, enhance, and/or create a significant natural feature with a minimum open space area of one-quarter acre.

D. The project will provide a substantial public amenity, for example, a significant public plaza, a public park, or a similar improved open space feature, including provisions for guaranteed long-term maintenance not at the expense of the city. (Ord. 1650 § 3 (Exh. B), 2018)
