Planned Residential District

Planned development is a method of development which permits a tract of land to be developed as one lot, rather than separate lots. The technique is designed to encourage coordinated development; to permit higher densities in conjunction with improved, commonly owned or controlled, functional, open space; to promote efficient use of land; to promote preservation and enhancement of existing natural landscape features; and to be developed in compliance with an approved development plan, as stipulated in Article VI.
