Planned Unit Development District

It is the intent and purpose of this district to provide, upon specific application and through the processes of unified planning and coordinated development, for the creation of new neighborhood or community areas offering a physical, social, and economic environment of high quality. Specific objectives of the district include the establishment of an orderly pattern of land uses geared to accommodate both near-term and long-term community needs; the efficient and economical use of land; and appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development; creative design; a high level of living and working amenities, including plentiful open space and recreation opportunities; efficient and effective systems of public facilities and services; a high degree of compatibility with adjacent and nearby existing and future development; appropriate conservation and preservation of natural features and resources; and the staging of development so as to best serve the general welfare of the City.; Regulations for planned unit developments are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulation, and other applicable City regulations to the same degree as in instances where City regulations are intended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis rather than on a unified development approach. However, it is essential that the regulations and requirements applying to planned unit developments be sufficiently flexible in structure so as to encourage creative and imaginative design in planning and development. Where there are conflicts between the requirements of the general provisions of this chapter or other applicable codes of the City and the requirements established by official action upon a specific planned unit development, the latter requirements shall govern.
