PUD
Planned Unit Development District
The provisions of this chapter are intended to establish a zoning district that will: Encourage and allow the development of tracts of land as planned neighborhoods or communities according to designs that coordinate building forms that are interrelated and architecturally harmonious; Encourage and allow unique, flexible, creative, and imaginative arrangements and mixes of land use in site planning and community development, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of Forsyth County; Encourage a broader mix of residential housing types, including detached and attached dwellings, than would normally be constructed in conventional subdivisions; Preserve the natural amenities of the land through maintenance of conservation areas and open spaces within developments, provide amenities, and provide where needed the civic and semi-public uses (e.g., schools, playgrounds, meeting halls, etc.) that help to make up a community; Provide for an efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower development and housing costs; and Provide an environment of stable character compatible with surrounding residential areas; Establish application requirements that are more rigorous than the requirements for rezoning to other zoning districts but no more onerous than is necessary to enable thorough analyses; Provide for slightly higher gross and net development densities and intensities as an inducement to develop in a manner consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
