Planned Neighborhood Development District

The purpose and intent of the Planned Neighborhood Development PND zone is to encourage compatible land planning for large-scale, mixed-use developments and the adaptive reuse or retrofitting of obsolete and underutilized commercial and industrial buildings on large sites as well-integrated units that: provide housing and economic development opportunities appropriate to the location and scale of the site; incorporate a compatible mix of traditional neighborhood uses; include a variety of housing types, styles, and costs to promote housing choice and economic diversity; protect environmentally sensitive areas, drinking water supplies and areas of natural beauty; protect historic sites; provide conveniently located public facilities and recreational areas; locate residences within reasonable walking distance of neighborhood centers with shops and services designed to meet the daily needs of residents; allow for cluster development that promotes energy efficient patterns of development and the preservation of common open space; include streets designed to enhance pedestrian safety, lessen congestion, and curb speeding; and, provide sidewalk networks and street trees.; It is intended that the Planned Neighborhood Development regulations will permit flexibility in the design and development of large tracts of lands or the retrofitting of obsolete commercial or industrial buildings into mixed-use neighborhoods over time. The PND regulations allow for the review and approval of detailed plans for each phase of development in accordance with a previously approved master plan that governs overall development patterns for the entire PND.
