Planned Unit Development District

The Planned Unit Development (PUD) district is intended to accommodate developments that might otherwise be impractical or impossible to implement through traditional zoning. Through a coordinated effort involving public participation, a PUD district offers the developer an opportunity to create a unique project that also provides an appropriate level of compatibility with surrounding development. A PUD project allows the creation of alternative development standards in order to address each PUD’s unique characteristics. Variances include, but are not limited to; land use, building setbacks, parking, density, etc. The PUD district also allows the setting of conditions by the Planning Commission/City Council including, but not limited to; land use, building setbacks, parking, density, common space, green space, ingress/egress points, architectural design, and landscaping/buffering. A Planned Unit Development request includes both a rezoning request and a PUD plan. In reviewing a proposed PUD district, the Planning and Development Department, Planning Commission, and City Council consider these components in tandem. Approval of a PUD district by the City Council includes approval of both the rezoning request and the PUD plan. Upon approval, the proposed project must also be platted in accordance with the subdivision regulations and undergo Development Review, as outlined in Article X of the Conway Zoning Ordinance. A plat is not required if the property has already been legally platted.
