Planned Unit Developments District

The PUD zoning district and associated concept plan may be used to establish types of development and arrangements of land uses that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, but which are not otherwise provided for or allowed in the zoning districts set out in this chapter. The range of uses and development intensities allowed within a particular PUD district, along with any corresponding development and design standards are established by an associated PUD concept plan. Subsequent development within the PUD district is implemented by the approval of one or more site and development plans, known as PUD final plans.; The standards for creating a new PUD district and its associated concept plan set out herein are intended to promote flexibility of design and permit planned diversification and integration of uses and structures. The process set out herein allows the Board of County Commissioners to evaluate applications to establish new PUD districts and their associated concept plans, to make modifications to adopted concept plans, and to render final determination as to whether applications should be approved, approved with conditions, or denied. In addition, the Board of County Commissioners, may through approval with conditions, establish such additional limitations and regulations as it deems necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. Specifically, the PUD district is intended to: Promote more efficient and economic uses of land.; Provide flexibility to meet changing needs, technologies, economics, and consumer preferences.; Encourage uses of land which reduce transportation needs and which conserve energy and natural resources to the maximum extent possible.; Preserve to the greatest extent possible, and utilize in a harmonious fashion, existing landscape features and amenities.; Provide for more usable and suitably located recreational facilities, open spaces and scenic areas, either commonly owned or publicly owned, than would otherwise be provided under a conventional zoning district.; Lower development and building costs by permitting smaller networks of utilities and streets and the use of more economical building types and shared facilities.; Permit the combining and coordinating of land uses, building types, and building relationships within a planned development, which otherwise would not be provided under a conventional zoning district.
