Planned Unit Development District

The Planned Unit Development District PUD is a distinct zoning district which is intended to encourage innovative land planning and design and avoid the monotony sometimes associated with large developments by: Providing flexibility in the application of land development regulations that will encourage innovative development and redevelopment for residential and nonresidential purposes so that a growing demand for other housing and other development and land use may be met by variety in type, design, and layout of dwellings and other buildings and structures, including traditional neighborhood development; Providing flexibility in architectural design, placement, and clustering of buildings, use of open areas, provision of circulation facilities, including pedestrian facilities and parking; and related site design considerations; . Encouraging the conservation of natural features, preservation of open space and critical and sensitive areas, and protection from natural hazards; Providing efficient use of public facilities; Encouraging and preserving opportunities for energy-efficient development and redevelopment; Promoting attractive and functional environments for nonresidential areas that are compatible with surrounding areas; and; Accommodating developments that are exclusively residential, exclusively non-residential, or a compatible and complementary mix of residential and non-residential units. ; To allow increases in density beyond what is typically found in a conventionally zoned tract of land or to offset any reduction in developable lands i.e. land dedicated to open space.
