Planned Residential Development District

This section establishes standards and criteria for Planned Residential Developments (PRD). The primary purpose of a PRD is to enhance the design of a residential development by allowing for flexibility and variation from the established site requirements and development standards of the zoning and subdivision codes. The PRD is a mechanism by which the city may allow for variation in the design and arrangement of structures as well as provide for the coordination of project characteristics with features of a particular site in a manner that is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. A PRD allows for innovations and special features in site development, including the locations and type of structures, the conservation of natural features, the conservation of energy, the efficient use of open space, and allowances for housing serving varying price points. The intent of the PRD district is to encourage the use of Smart Growth principals and Traditional Neighborhood Design, to provide a variety of housing types and densities available to the general public, and to promote high quality residential developments while allowing greater flexibility in the design of such developments.
