Planned Development Mixed-Use District
The purpose of the Planned Development Mixed-Use District is to recognize the existence within the Town of certain unique Planned Unit Development s that are greater than 250 acres in size. Generally, these PUDs have served to establish the special character of Hilton Head Island as a high quality resort and residential community. It is the intent in establishing this district to allow the continuation of well-planned development within these areas. In limited situations, some commercially planned portions of PUDs are placed within other base districts to more specifically define the types of commercial uses allowed.
