The PD zone is also intended to ensure project consistency with the General Plan, sensitivity to surrounding land uses, and the protection of sensitive natural resources. The PD zone provides land owners with enhanced flexibility to take advantage of unique site characteristics to develop projects that will provide public benefits for residents, employees, and visitors to Butte County. This zone is not identified in Table 24-29-1 (Permitted Land Uses in Special Purpose Zones) as it is intended to allow for a variety of uses and development, refer to Section 24-32 (Planned Development Zone Requirements) for further discussion.
