Planned Unit Development District

To permit larger tracts of land under unified control to be planned and developed as a whole as a single operation or an approved series of operations with a greater amount of flexibility by removing some of the detailed restrictions of conventional zoning. Planned unit developments are recognized as serving the public interest and are encouraged because they: 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; Conserve the natural amenities of the land by encouraging the preservation and improvement of scenic and functional open space; Provide maximum opportunity for application of innovative site planning concepts to the creation of aesthetically pleasing environments for living on properties of adequate size, shape and location; Insure that development will occur according to limitations of land use, site design, population density, building coverage, improvement standards and construction phasing authorized through the approval of a master development plan; Insure that development will occur within the guidelines and intent of the Oakland Park Comprehensive Plan. Planned unit developments are equally adaptable to new development, redevelopment and conservation of land, water and other city resources.
