Planned Residential Development District

The Planned Residential District PRD is intended to permit development in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan of a mixed-use community. Planned Residential District developments shall be designed to provide a variety of residential unit types in an orderly relationship to one another, with a balance of community supporting commercial uses, community amenities, and open space areas. It is intended that the PRD be utilized to create pedestrian oriented residential neighborhoods of traditional design physically integrated with the existing surrounding development. To accomplish this goal, the PRD regulations provide flexibility in residential development by providing for a mix of residential uses, including housing types, densities and alternative forms of housing, with appropriate non-residential uses, flexibility in internal relationships of design elements and, in appropriate cases, increases in residential densities over that provided in conventional districts. In recognition that the PRD was utilized prior to 2009 to develop communities of a lesstraditional, more suburban form, the PRD continues to accommodate these preapproved projects to develop in the less traditional form where envisioned under the original approvals.
