Planned Development District

The intent and purposes of the Planned Development District PDD is to provide for planned residential, commercial, industrial, and mobile home districts, containing a variety of structures and diversity of building arrangements with complimentary and compatible uses; and public and semi-public facilities developed in accordance with an approved development plan. The PDD should allow diversification of uses, structures, and open spaces in a manner compatible with existing and permitted land uses on abutting properties. Developments reduce improvement and energy costs through a more efficient use of land design and smaller networks of utilities and streets than is possible through application of other zoning districts and subdivision requirements. The review process will ensure that development will occur according to limitations of use, design, density, coverage, and phasing stipulated on an approved development plan. PDDs should strive to preserve the natural amenities and environment assets of the land by encouraging the preservation and improvement of scenic and functional open areas. They can encourage an increase in the amount and use of open space areas by permitting a more economical and concentrated use of building areas than would be possible through conventional zoning districts. Finally, they provide maximum opportunity for application of innovative concepts of site planning in the creation of aesthetically pleasing living, shopping, and working environments on properties of adequate size, shape, and location.
