PD
Planned Development District
The PD, Planned Development district is intended to permit the establishment of areas in which diverse uses may be combined and integrated through careful planning to provide a unified and compatible development which is consistent with the general comprehensive plan, and which may reasonably be expected to result in a quality of living environment which is more closely in keeping with the purposes of zoning than would otherwise likely be obtained. It is not the intent of the Board of Commissioners that the PD district become a "loophole" designed to permit otherwise illegal contract, conditional or spot zoning, or the clandestine institution of the unlawful use variance. Rather, the PD district is intended to permit further refinement and more detailed expression of the general comprehensive plan in situations where the owners of the property present a development plan which is found to be in the public interest and consistent with the general comprehensive plan.
