Planned Development District

The purpose of the planned development (PD) district is to allow for innovation and flexibility in design, to encourage creative mixes of complementary uses, and to promote environmentally sound and efficient use of land. The major objectives of a planned development are: To allow for a mixture of housing types and densities located in proximity to each other.; To allow for mixtures of residential and non-residential uses located in proximity to each other when any potential adverse impacts have been minimized, mitigated, screened or buffered.; To provide for more usable and suitably-located common open space and amenities, including but not limited to clustered patterns of development and open space than would otherwise be provided under the city's base zone districts.; To require that planned developments provide to the city amenities or benefits that help achieve the goals of the Columbia Imagined comprehensive plan (as amended) and that are not otherwise required by the base zoning districts in return for the added flexibility in uses and design offered by the PD district.; To ensure that approved planned developments are efficient to administer over time.
