Planned Unit Development District

The purpose of the Planned Unit Development PUD districts is to provide for the development of land under unified control, planned and developed as a whole in a single development operation or an approved programmed series of development operations for residential dwelling units and compatible office and commercial uses. The PUD districts should provide a means of achieving flexibility in development of land appropriate in size, mix of uses, and shape to facilitate utilization in a manner not possible in conventional zoning districts; should encourage a more imaginative and innovative design and conservation of land in developments; and should promote a more desirable living environment. Through exercise of sound and proper planning principles, a PUD district should complement surrounding property or uses thereof; should promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the public; and should not exceed achievable capacity of community utilities, facilities and services. A PUD district should accomplish the following objectives: Include principal and accessory uses and structures substantially related to the character of the development itself and the surrounding area of which it is a part. Allow diversification of uses, structures and open spaces when not in conflict with existing and permitted land uses on abutting properties. Reduce improvement costs through a more efficient use of land and a smaller network of utilities and streets than is possible through application of standards contained in conventional land development regulations. Promote and encourage development where parcels of land are suitable in size, location, and character for the uses and structures proposed and to encourage development in a uniform and coordinated manner. Include common areas and facilities with provision for maintenance and unified control through the recording of restrictive covenants which shall run with the land.; Conserve the natural amenities of the land by encouraging the preservation and improvement of scenic and functional space.; Provide maximum opportunity for application of innovative site planning concepts to the creation of aesthetically pleasing environments on properties of adequate size, shape and location.; Insure that development will occur within the guidelines and intent of the City's comprehensive plan land use element. Planned developments should be equally adaptable to new development, redevelopment and conservation of land, water and other City resources.
