Planned Unit Development District

The intent of the planned unit development is to encourage design flexibility, thereby enabling the applicant to capitalize on a site's desirable features in ways that would be prohibited under the otherwise applicable zoning. Under the PUD approach, land may be designed in ways that would not be possible under a strict application of existing zoning and subdivision regulations. It is intended to reduce the cost of infrastructure necessary to serve the new development while better promoting land use efficiency and environmental protection. A PUD will exhibit excellence in design, site arrangements, integration of uses and structures and protect the integrity of surrounding development. The rezoning of property to the PUD district may be deemed appropriate if the development proposed for the district can accomplish one or more of the following goals: Providing for an orderly and creative arrangement of land uses that are harmonious and beneficial to the community; Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial or industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of economic and redevelopment opportunities; Providing for flexibility in the land uses, in the density of development, and in other matters typically regulated in zoning districts; Providing for cultural, civic, educational, medical, religious or recreational facilities, or any combination thereof, in a planned or a unique setting and design; Providing for the redevelopment of areas where depreciation of any type has occurred; Providing for the revitalization of designated areas; Promoting or allowing development to occur in accordance with a uniform set of standards which reflect specific circumstances of the site.
