Planned Unit-Commercial District

It is the purpose and intent of this district to establish areas for major planned unit developments of commercial and/or residential uses, thereby achieving flexibility in design through the clustering of activities in areas specifically designed to accommodate the uses and to discourage traffic congestion and secure adequate light, air, and aesthetic qualities for local citizens and visitors. The regulations are designed to promote efficient use of land and achieve a more economical arrangement of buildings, circulation systems, land uses, and utilities. The regulations will preserve, to the greatest extent possible, the existing landscape features and amenities and utilize total planning of all land tracts in a harmonious manner in order to protect the environmental integrity and quality of the property within this district, and promote the highest quality of development. These include protection of natural resource areas, the preservation of key scenic vistas by encouraging the use of underground utilities and signage that will contribute to the character of the area. Also promote a balance between lodging uses and other visitor and local oriented uses that minimizes development footprints to prevent soil loss and storm water runoff. The development within this district will be characterized by interconnected streets, walking paths, and outdoor activities. Therefore, prior to the issuance of building permits within this district, site plans as required by Sections 407 and 409 shall be reviewed and approved by the planning commission. These plans shall meet all requirements of this ordinance and be consistent with the comprehensive planning program of the City of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
