Zoning
PUD
Planned Unit Development District
The PUD zoning district is intended to provide for the development or redevelopment of land under the control and in accordance with an approved Master Plan. The development guidelines and standards in which land uses, transportation elements, building densities, arrangements, and types are set out in a unified plan, thus providing greater flexibility of land use, transfer of development rights and building locations than other zoning districts may permit.; The PUD District is intended to maximize benefits from the use of open spaces, maximize aesthetics, encourage certain architectural standards for buildings, and permit mixed uses and diversity of bulk regulations without endangering the health, safety, welfare, and land value of surrounding and internal properties. A PUD may consist of a mix of land uses of residential, commercial, and limited industrial, provided such PUD is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. It is not the sole intent of PUD zoning to be utilized to reduce or provide relief from an existing zoning regulation or requirement.
