PUD

Planned Unit Development District

Traditional land development through subdivision is in general designed to apply to individual lots, sometimes making innovative, creative, and efficient land development more difficult than necessary. It is the purpose of a planned unit development to provide innovation, creativity, and efficiency by: Producing a development which would be as good or better than traditional development; Permitting developments which will provide a desirable and stable environment in harmony with the surrounding area and in accord with adopted plans for the city Permitting flexibility that will encourage a more creative approach in the development of land, which will result in a more efficient, aesthetic, and desirable integration of open space with housing and other land uses; Protecting and preserving scenic and natural features such as streams, trees, and topographic features; Permitting development of more energy efficient living areas by encouraging bicycle and pedestrian circulation facilities which will reduce reliance on automobiles, allowing for the proper orientation of streets, lots, and buildings to facilitate current and future solar energy application, and in general promoting a way of life that will lessen the consumption of scarce energy resources; Encouraging a more stable neighborhood by permitting a mixture of housing types.
