P-D
Planned Development District
The purpose of the planned development (P-D) zoning districts is to allow for high quality development that deviates from standards and regulations applicable to other zoning districts within Merced. The planned development zoning districts are intended to promote creativity in building design, flexibility in permitted land uses, and innovation in development concepts. The planned development zoning districts are also intended to ensure project consistency with the general plan. Planned development zoning districts provide 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 Merced.
