Planned Unit Development District

The Planned Unit Development District is established as an optional development tool. The purpose of the PUD District is: to permit property to be developed under flexible standards based on public review and legislative approval of a comprehensive site plan without the need to conform to uniform zoning requirements of the underlying district regulations.; to encourage innovation in land use, form of ownership and variety of design, layout and type of structures constructed; to achieve economy and efficiency in the use of land; to preserve significant natural, historical and architectural features and open space; to promote efficient provision of public services and utilities; to minimize adverse traffic impacts; to provide better housing, employment and business opportunities particularly suited to residents; to encourage development of convenient recreational facilities; and to encourage the use and improvement of existing sites when the uniform regulations contained in other zoning districts alone do not provide adequate protection and safeguards for the property and surrounding areas; and to promote a higher quality of development than can be achieved from conventional zoning requirements in furtherance of the vision, goals and plans duly adopted by the Village of Batavia Planning Commission.
