Planned Commercial And Office District

The Planned Commercial and Office District is a planned unit development district (PUD) adopted pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 519.21(A). It is intended to provide and encourage unified commercial and office areas usually under single ownership and control, or clustered together in planned out lots, where the use and layout are known and approved with flexibility per an approved development plan. These centers have all necessary utility services and roads comprehensively provided. Buildings within this District are to be architecturally attractive and compatible. The tract is to be well landscaped. Parking and loading areas are to be screened and pedestrian-vehicular separation achieved. The relationship among individual establishments is to be harmonious. The principal tenant and the size of the center have much to do with its physical character, relationship to the community, and economic success, so these factors should be of concern in considering a Planned Commercial and Office District application. It is intended that the Planned Commercial and Office District and the area surrounding it be protected from the intrusion of dissimilar land uses, except those clearly complimentary, supplementary, and physically compatible with the development of the center and the vicinity.
