Planned Development Overlay District

Any initial request for a PD zoning change shall follow the procedures outlined in Section 2.04 of this Ordinance.; The PD is a zoning district which accommodates planned associations of uses developed as integral land use units such as industrial districts, offices, commercial or service centers, shopping centers, residential developments of multiple or mixed housing including attached single-family dwellings or any appropriate combination of uses which may be planned, developed or operated as integral land use units either by a single owner or a combination of owners. A PD may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts in this Ordinance.; A PD may be created as an overlay district that combines with any other underlying base district except the FD Zoning District. The boundaries of each base zoning district shall be designated on the Concept Plan.; A PD for residential use may also be created as a Freestanding PD under prescribed circumstances; The ordinance approving an amendment to the zoning ordinance may establish multiple PD overlay districts, or one or more PD overlay districts together with a Freestanding PD, provided that the proposed development is integrated in purpose and design; A Freestanding PD for residential use must establish complete zoning district development standards for the subject property zoned under the PD; No base or underlying zoning district is required since the Freestanding PD will not default to an underlying zone; In the event a Freestanding PD is created, the zoning map shall identify FPD as the abbreviated designation and the approving ordinance number must be included within the official text and map references; The Freestanding PD ordinance must either include a use chart or reference which zoning district use chart will be followed; The Freestanding PD ordinance shall include a table showing the types and numbers of units by lot size, and the acreage and density of each type of dwelling unit or lot size group. The ordinance also shall identify the type and quantity of open space and amenities and the time and manner of providing such open space and amenities.
