Planned Unit Development District

The purpose of this district is to permit flexibility in the regulation of land development; to encourage innovation in land use and variety in design, layout, and type of structures constructed; to achieve economy and efficiency in the use of land, natural resources, energy, and the provision of public services and utilities; to encourage provision of open space and protection of natural features; to provide adequate housing employment, and shopping opportunities particularly suited to the needs of the residents of the City; to expand the supply of affordable housing dwelling units and to encourage the use, reuse, and improvement of existing sites and buildings that will be developed in a compatible way with surrounding uses, but where the uniform regulations contained in other zoning districts do not provide adequate protections and safeguards for the site or surrounding area. The district is intended to accommodate developments with one or more land uses, sites with unusual topography or unique settings within the community, or sites that exhibit difficult or costly development problems or any combination of these factors. This zoning district shall not be allowed where it is sought primarily to avoid the imposition of standards and requirements of other zoning classifications or other City regulations rather than to achieve the stated purposes above.
