Planned Development Flex District

The purpose of the planned development flex district is to facilitate the development of master planned, mixed use developments containing a minimum of 500 acres. The PD-FLEX district allows a mix of land uses, densities, setbacks, and building heights for a defined area and allows for flexibility of change over an extended period of time. This zoning district is intended to encourage innovative and creative design and to facilitate a mix of uses in the development of a balanced community over an extended period of time or build out. The PD-FLEX land use designation shall require approval of a master plan in order to provide general development goals for the property. The PD-FLEX zoning district shall clearly define the purpose and intent of the property and its development limitations or allowances while being sufficiently flexible to meet the demands of increased population and evolutionary changes in such fields as architecture, transportation, and redevelopment. The PD-FLEX district must conform to the requirements of the UDO in requiring adequate standards necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare; The PD-FLEX district will allow an increase or decrease of a certain prescribed per centage that result in changes in land area, increase in density or intensity of residential uses, increase in floor area, increase in lot coverage, increase in height, or changes that will increase trip generation or impacts on public facilities. The prescribed per centage allowance shall be determined as part of the Master Plan approval, shall not exceed 20 per cent, and is cumulative from the original, approved plan and The PD-FLEX zoning may be established as an alternative option for mixed use, master planned development larger than 500 acres. The PD-FLEX zoning requires a formally approved, overall master plan for the property. The PD-FLEX master plan shall contain, at minimum, mapped information regarding the layout of general use areas, open space, zones of use, trails, major streets and other significant public improvements. The PD-FLEX zoning regulations specify permitted uses, densities and other important development controls for each use area and the property as a whole.
