PD
Planned Development District
The Planned Development (PD) district is intended to facilitate various development types, and combinations thereof, that may be difficult to achieve under conventional zoning regulations. Planned developments shall promote flexibility and creativity in addressing changing social, economic and market conditions, especially where they are used to implement adopted policies of the Comprehensive Plan.; Examples of development concepts that may be appropriate for PD zoning include, but are not limited to, enhanced protection of natural resource areas, mixed use or transit oriented development, and infill development or redevelopment.; Development standards to be implemented within a planned development shall be established by the Board of County Commissioners at the time of rezoning. Such rezoning shall be conditioned upon a master development plan and a written development order. Specific criteria for the development may address, but are not limited to, compatibility with surrounding land uses, road access, availability and efficient use of utility capacity, coordination with transit, etc. Architectural and other appearance-related design elements may be included as approval conditions where the Board finds they are necessary to achieve crucial aspects of the development concept, such as economic feasibility or neighborhood compatibility.; General standards of this Code that are not specific to any zoning district, such as parking, stormwater management, lighting, and landscaping, shall apply within a planned development unless variations are approved through a PD master development plan and/or development order.
