Planned Unit Development District

The purpose of the Planned Unit Development district PUD is to provide for the orderly development of land with a mix of land uses and intensities. PUD zoning is intended to permit innovation and flexibility in the design, construction and processing of mixed-use developments in exchange for the developer providing enhanced design elements that exceed CDO requirements. While the conventional zoning districts and the requirements of those districts set forth in the CDO are reasonable in most cases, there are parcels of land that are more appropriate to be developed with a mixed-use zoning district. Furthermore, there may be circumstances in which it is in the community’s best interest to allow unique and/or creative designs and techniques that: promote the most appropriate use of a parcel; allow diversification of use; facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets, parks, open space, schools, storm drainage and sewer and water utilities; incorporate transit access, amenities and/or connectivity; preserve and utilize open space, tree cover, topography and significant natural features; offer recreational opportunities close to residential uses; create physically integrated and interconnected neighborhoods that provide safe cross-access for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, and enhance neighborhood appearance/design.
