Planned Mixed Use District

The 36/37 Planned Mixed Use District (36/37 PMUD) is created pursuant to Section 519.021(C) of the Ohio Revised Code to further the purpose of promoting the general public welfare, encouraging the efficient use of land and resources, promoting public and utility services, and encouraging innovation in the planning and building of appropriate types of retail, office, office/warehouse, warehouse and residential development. The 36/37 PMUD achieves this purpose by permitting flexibility of design in order to promote and accommodate environmentally sensitive and efficient use of the land, thereby allowing for a unified development that: Permanently preserves unique or sensitive natural resources and integrates Open Space within developments.; Reduces the amount of infrastructure, including paved surfaces and utility easements, necessary for development.; Reduces erosion and sedimentation by minimizing land disturbance and removal of vegetation.; Provides an opportunity for an appropriate mix of open space, office, retail, institutional and Residential Uses not otherwise permitted within the standard zoning district classifications.; Enables more extensive review of design characteristics to ensure that the development project is properly integrated into its surroundings and is compatible with adjacent development.; Assures compatibility between proposed land uses within and around the 36/37 PMUD through appropriate development controls.; Enhances the welfare and economy of the Township by making available a variety of employment opportunities, providers of goods and services as well as providing a variety of housing options for the Township residents.; Encourages unified development projects that exhibit creative planning and design in ways that cannot be achieved through a standard zoning district, yet are imaginative in architectural design and are consistent with applicable public plans for the area and are compatible with surrounding land uses.
