Planned Unit Development District.

A planned unit development or PUD describes a zoning designation and a process whereby limited deviation from the standards of this UDC is permitted to provide flexibility to accommodate innovative, high-quality site and building design that is otherwise not possible through the application of existing standards prescribed in the UDC. PUD applications shall be reviewed according to the procedures outlined in Chapter 200, Sec. 200-3.12. To be eligible to submit an application for a PUD zoning district map amendment, a proposed development must: Contain a mix of residential and commercial uses, where uses customarily permitted inresidential areas such as golf or community clubs or recreational areas do not qualify as a commercial use meeting this requirement; and Must include the following approaches in innovative land use planning: Environmentally sensitive design that includes preservation of existing natural features of a site that is of a higher quality than would be possible under the regulations otherwise applicable to the property that reduces the risk of flood damage to life and property and enhances drainage functions.; Diversification and variation in the relationship of residential uses, open space, setbacks, and the height of structures compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, which creates a variety of housing types, environments and living units characterized by a cohesive building, sign, and site development program. Minor changes to setbacks or lot width are not considered a variety of housing types; see Ch. 100 definition of housing types for more information.
