Planned Unit Development District

It is the purpose and intent of these Planned Unit Development regulations to encourage ingenuity, innovation and imagination in the planning, design, and development or redevelopment of land under unified ownership or control. PUDs produced in compliance with the terms and provisions of this land development code and the comprehensive plan are not required to meet the setback, height, and minimum lot requirements of conventional zoning districts to allow developments flexibility while protecting the public interest. City council retains the absolute authority to establish such standards and regulations as it deems necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. In doing so, the PUD district is designed to achieve the following objectives: To accommodate a mixture of uses on land which is under unified control compatible both internally and externally through the limitations, sign control, building orientation, buffering or other techniques which may be appropriate to a particular development proposal.; Provide flexibility to meet changing needs, technologies, and economic and consumer preferences.; Permit the combining and coordinating of architectural styles, building forms and building relationships within a planned unit development.
