Mixed Use Planned Unit Development District

This district is designed to encourage and allow more creative and imaginative design of development projects than is possible under certain zoning district regulations. Planned Unit Developments are intended to allow substantial flexibility in planning and designing a proposal. This flexibility often accrues in the form of relief from compliance with certain site and design requirements contained within this Ordinance. PUDs allow higher density and non-traditional site requirements and as such, require features not normally required of traditional developments.; Unlike traditional developments, PUDs require in-depth scrutiny and are often highly conditioned. Hence, more information is demanded about the proposal than would be required if development were being pursued under conventional zoning requirements. PUDs ensure the development will be in harmony with the character of the neighborhood in which the development is located. The PUD is not intended to circumvent the parameters of existing zoning, but rather to encourage ingenuity and resourcefulness in land planning. Planned Unit Development zoning is not intended to be used for speculative purposes to enhance the value of property. As such, approval of a PUD will be as a conditional use, based upon a detailed Master Development Plan submitted as part of the application. The Mayor and City Council may approve different percentages of land use mixtures, different density units, and different open space requirements based on the ingenuity and resourcefulness on the presented plan.
