Planned Community Development District

The purpose of the PCD Planned Community Development District is to provide an area for coordinated development of industrial, commercial, service, residential and government uses within a park-like setting. The establishment of this district provides a mechanism to attract major employers to the City, which can contribute to the diversification of the economic base in a manner consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The PCD District provides for a variety of uses where project components and land use relationships are physically and functionally integrated. This concept incorporates a wide range of traditional industrial uses with a variety of non-industrial activities which may support or otherwise relate to the commerce/industrial activities which may support or otherwise relate to the commerce/industrial economic base of the City. Generally, PCD land uses include manufacturing, wholesaling and warehousing, construction services, transportation activities, retail trade and service, residential and government uses. It is the intent of these regulations to facilitate the harmonious interaction of land uses not individually provided for in other industrial, commercial, service, residential or government use districts through grouping of similar uses. These regulations are designed to protect adjacent properties from the potentially adverse impacts associated with mixed-use development and to promote efficient and economic land use among functionally integrated activities. This intent is achieved through coordinated application of standards, which regulate location, open space, ground coverage, height, lighting, signage, landscape, buffer and other physical design elements.
