Planned Unit Development District

The purpose of these provisions is to provide an opportunity for developments that are unique, alternative and superior to those that can be accomplished through the rigid standards yet remain consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and further those goals and objectives beyond that in the inflexible zone districts. It is intended to be applied only to areas which are sufficiently large to allow for overall planning and design in detail so as to secure to the community, the future occupants and the developer, values and amenities greater than those likely to be achieved by the relatively inflexible provisions necessary to regulate the successive development of individual lots by numerous different owners. All development within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district shall be designed and constructed pursuant to the standards and guidelines of the applicable PUD document, unless the PUD is silent on a standard then the Municipal Code standard or guideline shall supersede. (Note: When no Planned Unit Development (PUD) entitlement has been approved for a property that is designated or pre-zoned as PUD, it is intended to encourage groupings of these parcels, that are located between General Plan Circulation Element roadways larger than local streets, to develop as one master planned community where landowners work together to develop and adopt one PUD entitlement that shares open space, amenities, and driveway access. Many of these parcels are currently subdivided into long and narrow parcels which are undevelopable as single parcels under current development standards. The goal is to have a project cover multiple parcels, whether single ownership or not, and be designed as one project. In the event cooperation is not achieved amongst landowners within a PUD grouping of parcels, a single landowner proposing a development would need to, at a minimum, submit a master development plan that illustrates how the surrounding PUD properties could develop in an orderly manner.)
