Planned Development-Residential District

The PD district is established to encourage innovative and creative design of residential and commercial developments and to permit a greater amount of flexibility to a developer by removing some of the restrictions of conventional zoning. It is the intent of the district that such design and planning features be incorporated properly into all PD districts hereafter created, and that the Planning Commission and City Council shall consider the existence and appropriateness of such features before any amendment to the Zoning Map is adopted to create such districts. The district is also intended to encourage developments, which provide a full range of residential types to serve the inhabitants of the district.The regulations provide a mechanism to evaluate each application on its own merit. It is recognized that some concepts will be more successful than others will and the approval of an application in 1 situation does not necessarily indicate the development will be applicable in other situations. It should also be emphasized that these provisions are not to be confused with nor designed to circumvent the intent or use of conventional zoning classifications as set forth in the Ordinance.
