Planned Development District

The Planned Development (PD) district is designed to permit flexibility and encourage a more creative, efficient, and aesthetically desirable design and placement of buildings, open spaces and circulation patterns by allowing a mixture or combination of uses and to best utilize special site features such as topography, size and shape. A PD district may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts in this Code to enhance existing or create new areas within the City that will promote the City's historical, cultural and architectural character. While greater flexibility is given to allow special conditions or restrictions that would not otherwise allow the development to occur, the requirements established herein ensure against the misuse of such increased flexibility. It is intended for application in all land use designations on the Future Land Use Plan, provided that the uses and development standards proposed are consistent with the stated goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The layout plan should provide an overall design, enhanced or increased open space, or other features or amenities that result in a high quality development or offer unique or special benefits to the community that will preserve and foster the community's pride in its historic, cultural and architectural character.
