Residential Planned Unit Development District

The Residential Planned Unit Development District (R-PUD) is intended permissive and alternative zoning procedure for residential development in the Township when accomplished under an approved overall Preliminary PUD Plan for each section of the total landholding. The planning and development of the PUD shall be carried out in such a manner as to have minimum adverse effects on the natural features and environment of the planned unit tract and its surrounding areas. One of the primary purposes of the R-PUD is to safeguard as much greenspace as possible. The use of the PUD is encouraged, with each PUD application to be reviewed on its own merits. Based on greenspace preservation, architectural and other features to be established during the review and approval stage of the PUD, the allowable number of residences may exceed that permitted under conventional zoning. PUDs typically feature varied setback lines, dwelling types and cluster type site planning whereby provisions for maximum overall gross density are established to permit creation of usable common space without jeopardizing the overall intent of the Zoning Resolution or the public health, safety, and welfare.
