Planned Unit Development District

The zoning of land to a Planned Unit Development PUD District classification shall be for the purpose of encouraging and requiring orderly development at a quality level generally equal to or exceeding that commonly found in projects developed under conventional zoning, but permitting deviations from the normal and established development techniques. The use of planned developments is intended to encourage efficient development compatible with surrounding land uses, innovative and imaginative site planning, and conservation of natural resources and minimum waste of land. The following are specific objectives of the planned development zoning district: Conventional zoning districts should generally not be applied to the improvement of land by other than lot-by-lot development. Consequently, with the exception of standard single-family and two-family residential subdivisions, development proposals that are intended to be subdivided into multiple lots should generally be rezoned to the planned development district to ensure compatibility, coordination, timing, and sequencing of development.; Planned developments are groupings of buildings or building sites that are planned as an integrated unit or cluster on property under unified control or ownership at the time the zoning was approved by the County. The sale, subdivision or other partition of the site after zoning approval does not exempt the project or portions thereof from complying with the conditions that were committed to at the time of the rezoning. The submittal by the developer and the approval by the County of development plans represent a firm commitment by the developer that development will indeed follow the approved plans.; Planned residential developments should be designed in a manner that will produce more useable open space, better recreational opportunities, and safer and more attractive neighborhoods than under conventional zoning and development techniques.; Planned commercial developments should be designed so as to result in attractive, safe and viable commercial centers and to insure minimum adverse effects on surrounding property, the street system and other services of the community.
