Planned Unit Development

PUD districts may hereafter be established by amendment to the zoning map in accordance with the provisions set forth generally for planned development districts in sections 8 and 33 and with densities and uses in locations in accordance with recommendations of the comprehensive plan. As described by the comprehensive plan, PUD districts are intended to serve as neighborhoods or mini-neighborhoods within designated communities and the urban area. Additionally, PUD districts may be appropriate where the establishment of a new village or the nucleus of a future community exists and where the PUD development would not preclude achievement of the county's objectives for the urban area, communities and villages.; In order to encourage the community function, appropriate commercial and industrial uses are provided in addition to a variety of residential uses. It is intended that commercial and industrial development be limited to a scale appropriate to the support of the residential uses within the PUD; provided that additional commercial and industrial activity may be permitted upon a finding that the area in which the PUD is to be located is not adequately served by such use.; It is intended that these regulations provide flexibility in residential development by providing for a mix of residential uses with appropriate nonresidential uses, alternative forms of housing, flexibility in internal relationships of design elements and, in appropriate cases, increases in gross residential densities over that provided in conventional districts.
