PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS
Planned development districts are intended to be established for specialized purposes, where a proposed project warrants greater flexibility than a standard district provides; or when the ability to attach conditions to a site plan is warranted.
Planned development may be used as a vehicle to permit developments when the innovative use of buffering and modern design techniques mitigate the external impacts of development and create a helpful physical environment. Through the utilization of a planned district, the board may allow mixed dwelling types and/or housing densities; provide for the safe, efficient, convenient, harmonious groupings of structures, uses, facilities, and support uses; for appropriate relationships of space, inside and outside buildings, for intended uses.
Buffer: A strip of land (with landscaping) established to protect one type of land use from another type of land use.
Open space: Refer to article I, division 2, Definitions and article III, division 44 Supplemental regulations.
Density: Refer to article I, division 2, Definitions.
Floor area ratio (FAR): Ratio of gross floor area of building(s) on a lot by the area of the lot. FAR applies to commercial, office hotel/motel, industrial and institutional uses only. Maximum credit for lands below the 100-year flood elevation shall not exceed 25 percent of the maximum floor area ratio allowed for the site.
Groundcover: The amount of land covered or permitted to be covered by impermeable surface, usually measured as a percentage of development. For example, if permitted ground coverage is 40 percent, an acre (43,560 square feet) would permit a coverage of 17,424 square feet of the 43,560 square feet site.
Master land use plan: Specific development program for the planned unit development used to establish land use and land use requirements on the property.
Phasing: Refers to the timing and sequence of development. Usually used to permit partial development of a project before improvements are required.
Planned unit development: Development characterized by a unified site design for a number of land uses or housing types and providing open space, and density increases.
The development standards for planned unit development areas follows:
(a)
Unified control. All land included for purpose of development within a PUD district shall be under the control of the applicant, whether that applicant be an individual, partnership, corporation or a group of individuals, partnerships, or corporations. The applicant shall present firm evidence of the unified control of the entire area within the proposed PUD. The applicant shall state agreement to:
(1)
Proceed with the proposed development according to the provisions of these zoning regulations and such conditions as may be attached to the rezoning of the land to PUD;
(2)
Provide agreements, contracts, deed restrictions and sureties acceptable to the city for completion of the development according to the plans approved at the time of rezoning to PUD, and for continuing operation and maintenance of such areas, function, and facilities as are not to be provided, operated, or maintained at public expense; and
(3)
Bind their successors in title to any commitments made under subsections (1) and (2) preceding. All such agreements and evidence of unified control shall be examined by the city's growth management director or assigned staff. A rezoning of land to PUD classification shall not be adopted without evidence of unified control and compliance with the requirements of these zoning regulations.
(b)
Existing physical features: The natural features (vegetation, soils, surface waters and topography) should be preserved to the extent possible and utilized within the design to minimize the adverse impacts of development on the natural features and maximize the natural features as amenities for the development.
(c)
Transportation network, access and parking:
(1)
Provision should be made for the continuation of all highway, arterial and collector roadways where applicable.
(2)
The transportation network within the PUD should be designed to provide the best conditions for the free movement and safety of traffic, and provide safe, effective, and easy access to land uses within the development and to roadways adjacent to the development.
(3)
An analysis of the impact of the proposed site on roads, including average daily trips (ADT's) peak hour trips. Projects that generate 200 to 2,500 average daily trips (ADT's) will provide a Traffic Impact Analysis with the submittal. Projects generating over 2,500 ADT's will run a transportation model. The methodology for assumptions to be used to run the model will be discussed during the preapplication meeting. The applicant shall reimburse the city's cost to review the traffic impact analysis and/or model run.
(4)
Article 3, division 41 of the LDC shall be used as the basis for standards for parking. Parking within a PUD should be designed to be integrated into the development to be visually pleasing and functional. Parking for commercial and industrial land uses shall be landscaped. This landscaping should include the provision of trees within every median and island where landscaping is permissible and does not adversely effect driving visibility.
(5)
A PUD should construct pedestrian walkways between all buildings, common areas, and parking facilities for unified pedestrian circulation system. Adequate signing and lighting should be provided for nighttime use.
(d)
Infrastructure (water, wastewater, fire, etc.) for PUDs are required to connect to existing public facilities where those facilities are available or can be extended. If a private interim water or wastewater facility is required, it shall be constructed to city standards or any other agency with jurisdiction over such uses. In no case will the facility be accepted by the city for ownership or maintenance.

Procedures for obtaining approval of a planned unit development shall be as follows:
3.11.7.1 Preapplication conference. The applicant shall submit seven copies of the preliminary concept plan to the growth management department for review. Ten days after submission of the preliminary concept plan the growth management department will set up a meeting with the applicant to review the plan and identify major concerns or the need for additional information. Within seven working days after the meeting the growth management director shall send a letter to the applicant summarizing the findings of the preapplication conference and staff recommendations. The discussion at the preapplication meeting, material at the meeting and any correspondence regarding the meeting shall not be binding.
3.11.7.2 Master land use plan determination of completeness. The applicant shall be required to submit two master land use plans for review for completeness along with the appropriate fee for comprehensive plan amendment and/or zoning change. Altamonte Springs city staff shall have 15 working days from the date of submission to review and determine the application complete. The determination of completeness shall be based on the requirements established within the master land use plan submittal requirements. If the master plan has been found to be complete the applicant shall be notified to submit the other five master land use plans. After review, if the master land use plan has been found not complete, the applicant shall be notified of the deficiencies and will be required to resubmit for sufficiency review until the master land use plan is found complete.
3.11.7.3 Master land use plan approval. Upon determination of completeness and submission of the other five master land use plans, the planning board and city commission shall proceed as for other applications for rezoning of land. Special consideration will be given to the following matters and requirements, and allow changes in the master land use plan, supporting documentation, and proposed preliminary development order prior to the required planning board public hearing as follows:
(a)
Prehearing conference with applicants: On request by the applicant, the city planning board, and representatives of such other city departments as may be pertinent, shall meet with the applicant or his agent to review the master land use plan. The purpose of such prehearing conferences shall be to assist in bringing the overall petition as nearly as possible into conformity with these or other regulations applying generally to the property involved and/or to define specifically those variations from application of general regulations which appear justified in view of equivalent service of the public purposes of such regulations.
In the course of such prehearing conferences any recommendations for changes shall be recorded in writing and shall become part of the record of the case. All such recommendations shall be supported by stated reasons for the proposal for change. The applicant shall state in writing his agreement to such recommendations, or his disagreement, and if there is disagreement, shall in writing indicate his reasons therefor, and such responses by the applicant shall be included in the record.
Prior to the prehearing conference, the applicant shall be required to provide notice to all property owners within 300 feet of the property to be considered for PUD zoning. Such notice shall be mailed not less than ten days prior to the date of the prehearing conference and the applicant shall provide proof of notice to the planning board at the prehearing conference. In addition, the zoning official may require notice to other property owners affected by the proposed PUD where, in the judgement of the zoning official, the effect on these property owners will also be substantial.
At such time as further conferences appear unnecessary, or at any time on the request of the applicant, public notice shall be given and the hearing before the planning board held as for other applications for rezoning, but the notice and hearing shall be on the petition as it may have been amended following the prehearing conferences rather than as originally submitted.
(b)
Planning board findings and recommendations: After public hearing, the planning board may recommend to the city commission that the PUD rezoning be granted, be granted subject to stated stipulations and conditions, or be disapproved. In making its recommendation, the planning board shall find that the master land use plan submitted by the applicant and presented at the public hearing does or does not establish that the applicant has met the requirements of these regulations applicable to rezoning generally, and in addition:
(1)
The requirements of unified control and agreement set forth herein;
(2)
The location standards set forth herein;
(3)
The internal PUD standards set forth herein;
(4)
The tract for the proposed PUD is suitable in terms of its relationships to the city comprehensive plan and that the area surrounding the proposed PUD can continue to be developed in coordination and substantial compatibility with the PUD proposed;
(5)
That the desirable modifications of general zoning or PUD regulations as applied to the particular case, justify such modification of regulations and meet to at least an equivalent degree the regulations modified, based on the design and amenities incorporated in the site development plan;
(6)
That increased open space is provided for the occupants of the proposed PUD and the general public and desirable natural features indigenous to the site are preserved in the development plan presented.
(c)
Binding nature of rezoning to PUD: The development order and master land use plan approved at the time of rezoning to PUD shall be binding upon the applicant or any successors in interest. Deviations from approved master plan or failure to comply with any development order requirements shall constitute a violation of these zoning regulations.
3.11.7.4 Site plan approval. After approval of the master land use plan and preliminary development order, the applicant may proceed with final subdivision or site plan approval of the entire property or a portion thereof. If site plans are submitted for only a portion of the property, an accompanying developers agreement shall be required. This developers agreement shall establish the responsibility of each parcel to be submitted in meeting the requirements of the master land use plan.
3.11.7.5 Control of development. After approval of the master land use plan and preliminary development order, the use of the land and the use of any structures shall be in accordance to the approved master land use plan and preliminary development order.
The growth management director or designee shall be responsible for overseeing that development of the PUD proceeds in accordance with the master land use plan and preliminary development order. A certificate of compliance shall be required before building permits can be obtained. This certificate of compliance will be issued after the director of planning has reviewed the required improvements or a proportional portion thereof, in accordance with the master land use plan, the development order and developers agreement, if applicable.
3.11.7.6 Revision of planned unit development order. Any major or substantial change in the approved PUD, which affects the intent and character of the development, approved land use plan, final development order and developers agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the city commission upon receipt of the recommendation of the planning board. If the requested changes are deemed to have a substantial effect on adjacent property owners, residents of the PUD or the general public, involves an increase in density or a change in the phasing, the city commission shall cause a public hearing to be held prior to official action on said requested change. A request for a revision of the land use map or development order shall be supported by a written statement demonstrating the reasons the revisions are necessary or desirable. Minor changes which do not affect the intent or character of the development may be approved by the land development coordinator.
3.11.7.7 Planned unit development time limitations. If substantial development, as determined by the city commission, has not begun within one year after approval of the planned unit development, the approval of the planned unit development will be reviewed by the planning board to determine the appropriateness of the planned unit development zoning classification for the subject property. The city commission shall consider the recommendations of the planning board and shall move to rezone the property to a more appropriate zoning classification or shall extend the deadline to undertaking construction. These procedures shall also be followed when such extended deadlines are not met.

Editor's note— Ord. No. 1588-08, § 1, adopted May 20, 2008, repealed the former § 3.11.9, which pertained to development bonuses and enacted a new art. III, div. 46, which set out similar provisions.
PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS
Planned development districts are intended to be established for specialized purposes, where a proposed project warrants greater flexibility than a standard district provides; or when the ability to attach conditions to a site plan is warranted.
Planned development may be used as a vehicle to permit developments when the innovative use of buffering and modern design techniques mitigate the external impacts of development and create a helpful physical environment. Through the utilization of a planned district, the board may allow mixed dwelling types and/or housing densities; provide for the safe, efficient, convenient, harmonious groupings of structures, uses, facilities, and support uses; for appropriate relationships of space, inside and outside buildings, for intended uses.
Buffer: A strip of land (with landscaping) established to protect one type of land use from another type of land use.
Open space: Refer to article I, division 2, Definitions and article III, division 44 Supplemental regulations.
Density: Refer to article I, division 2, Definitions.
Floor area ratio (FAR): Ratio of gross floor area of building(s) on a lot by the area of the lot. FAR applies to commercial, office hotel/motel, industrial and institutional uses only. Maximum credit for lands below the 100-year flood elevation shall not exceed 25 percent of the maximum floor area ratio allowed for the site.
Groundcover: The amount of land covered or permitted to be covered by impermeable surface, usually measured as a percentage of development. For example, if permitted ground coverage is 40 percent, an acre (43,560 square feet) would permit a coverage of 17,424 square feet of the 43,560 square feet site.
Master land use plan: Specific development program for the planned unit development used to establish land use and land use requirements on the property.
Phasing: Refers to the timing and sequence of development. Usually used to permit partial development of a project before improvements are required.
Planned unit development: Development characterized by a unified site design for a number of land uses or housing types and providing open space, and density increases.
The development standards for planned unit development areas follows:
(a)
Unified control. All land included for purpose of development within a PUD district shall be under the control of the applicant, whether that applicant be an individual, partnership, corporation or a group of individuals, partnerships, or corporations. The applicant shall present firm evidence of the unified control of the entire area within the proposed PUD. The applicant shall state agreement to:
(1)
Proceed with the proposed development according to the provisions of these zoning regulations and such conditions as may be attached to the rezoning of the land to PUD;
(2)
Provide agreements, contracts, deed restrictions and sureties acceptable to the city for completion of the development according to the plans approved at the time of rezoning to PUD, and for continuing operation and maintenance of such areas, function, and facilities as are not to be provided, operated, or maintained at public expense; and
(3)
Bind their successors in title to any commitments made under subsections (1) and (2) preceding. All such agreements and evidence of unified control shall be examined by the city's growth management director or assigned staff. A rezoning of land to PUD classification shall not be adopted without evidence of unified control and compliance with the requirements of these zoning regulations.
(b)
Existing physical features: The natural features (vegetation, soils, surface waters and topography) should be preserved to the extent possible and utilized within the design to minimize the adverse impacts of development on the natural features and maximize the natural features as amenities for the development.
(c)
Transportation network, access and parking:
(1)
Provision should be made for the continuation of all highway, arterial and collector roadways where applicable.
(2)
The transportation network within the PUD should be designed to provide the best conditions for the free movement and safety of traffic, and provide safe, effective, and easy access to land uses within the development and to roadways adjacent to the development.
(3)
An analysis of the impact of the proposed site on roads, including average daily trips (ADT's) peak hour trips. Projects that generate 200 to 2,500 average daily trips (ADT's) will provide a Traffic Impact Analysis with the submittal. Projects generating over 2,500 ADT's will run a transportation model. The methodology for assumptions to be used to run the model will be discussed during the preapplication meeting. The applicant shall reimburse the city's cost to review the traffic impact analysis and/or model run.
(4)
Article 3, division 41 of the LDC shall be used as the basis for standards for parking. Parking within a PUD should be designed to be integrated into the development to be visually pleasing and functional. Parking for commercial and industrial land uses shall be landscaped. This landscaping should include the provision of trees within every median and island where landscaping is permissible and does not adversely effect driving visibility.
(5)
A PUD should construct pedestrian walkways between all buildings, common areas, and parking facilities for unified pedestrian circulation system. Adequate signing and lighting should be provided for nighttime use.
(d)
Infrastructure (water, wastewater, fire, etc.) for PUDs are required to connect to existing public facilities where those facilities are available or can be extended. If a private interim water or wastewater facility is required, it shall be constructed to city standards or any other agency with jurisdiction over such uses. In no case will the facility be accepted by the city for ownership or maintenance.

Procedures for obtaining approval of a planned unit development shall be as follows:
3.11.7.1 Preapplication conference. The applicant shall submit seven copies of the preliminary concept plan to the growth management department for review. Ten days after submission of the preliminary concept plan the growth management department will set up a meeting with the applicant to review the plan and identify major concerns or the need for additional information. Within seven working days after the meeting the growth management director shall send a letter to the applicant summarizing the findings of the preapplication conference and staff recommendations. The discussion at the preapplication meeting, material at the meeting and any correspondence regarding the meeting shall not be binding.
3.11.7.2 Master land use plan determination of completeness. The applicant shall be required to submit two master land use plans for review for completeness along with the appropriate fee for comprehensive plan amendment and/or zoning change. Altamonte Springs city staff shall have 15 working days from the date of submission to review and determine the application complete. The determination of completeness shall be based on the requirements established within the master land use plan submittal requirements. If the master plan has been found to be complete the applicant shall be notified to submit the other five master land use plans. After review, if the master land use plan has been found not complete, the applicant shall be notified of the deficiencies and will be required to resubmit for sufficiency review until the master land use plan is found complete.
3.11.7.3 Master land use plan approval. Upon determination of completeness and submission of the other five master land use plans, the planning board and city commission shall proceed as for other applications for rezoning of land. Special consideration will be given to the following matters and requirements, and allow changes in the master land use plan, supporting documentation, and proposed preliminary development order prior to the required planning board public hearing as follows:
(a)
Prehearing conference with applicants: On request by the applicant, the city planning board, and representatives of such other city departments as may be pertinent, shall meet with the applicant or his agent to review the master land use plan. The purpose of such prehearing conferences shall be to assist in bringing the overall petition as nearly as possible into conformity with these or other regulations applying generally to the property involved and/or to define specifically those variations from application of general regulations which appear justified in view of equivalent service of the public purposes of such regulations.
In the course of such prehearing conferences any recommendations for changes shall be recorded in writing and shall become part of the record of the case. All such recommendations shall be supported by stated reasons for the proposal for change. The applicant shall state in writing his agreement to such recommendations, or his disagreement, and if there is disagreement, shall in writing indicate his reasons therefor, and such responses by the applicant shall be included in the record.
Prior to the prehearing conference, the applicant shall be required to provide notice to all property owners within 300 feet of the property to be considered for PUD zoning. Such notice shall be mailed not less than ten days prior to the date of the prehearing conference and the applicant shall provide proof of notice to the planning board at the prehearing conference. In addition, the zoning official may require notice to other property owners affected by the proposed PUD where, in the judgement of the zoning official, the effect on these property owners will also be substantial.
At such time as further conferences appear unnecessary, or at any time on the request of the applicant, public notice shall be given and the hearing before the planning board held as for other applications for rezoning, but the notice and hearing shall be on the petition as it may have been amended following the prehearing conferences rather than as originally submitted.
(b)
Planning board findings and recommendations: After public hearing, the planning board may recommend to the city commission that the PUD rezoning be granted, be granted subject to stated stipulations and conditions, or be disapproved. In making its recommendation, the planning board shall find that the master land use plan submitted by the applicant and presented at the public hearing does or does not establish that the applicant has met the requirements of these regulations applicable to rezoning generally, and in addition:
(1)
The requirements of unified control and agreement set forth herein;
(2)
The location standards set forth herein;
(3)
The internal PUD standards set forth herein;
(4)
The tract for the proposed PUD is suitable in terms of its relationships to the city comprehensive plan and that the area surrounding the proposed PUD can continue to be developed in coordination and substantial compatibility with the PUD proposed;
(5)
That the desirable modifications of general zoning or PUD regulations as applied to the particular case, justify such modification of regulations and meet to at least an equivalent degree the regulations modified, based on the design and amenities incorporated in the site development plan;
(6)
That increased open space is provided for the occupants of the proposed PUD and the general public and desirable natural features indigenous to the site are preserved in the development plan presented.
(c)
Binding nature of rezoning to PUD: The development order and master land use plan approved at the time of rezoning to PUD shall be binding upon the applicant or any successors in interest. Deviations from approved master plan or failure to comply with any development order requirements shall constitute a violation of these zoning regulations.
3.11.7.4 Site plan approval. After approval of the master land use plan and preliminary development order, the applicant may proceed with final subdivision or site plan approval of the entire property or a portion thereof. If site plans are submitted for only a portion of the property, an accompanying developers agreement shall be required. This developers agreement shall establish the responsibility of each parcel to be submitted in meeting the requirements of the master land use plan.
3.11.7.5 Control of development. After approval of the master land use plan and preliminary development order, the use of the land and the use of any structures shall be in accordance to the approved master land use plan and preliminary development order.
The growth management director or designee shall be responsible for overseeing that development of the PUD proceeds in accordance with the master land use plan and preliminary development order. A certificate of compliance shall be required before building permits can be obtained. This certificate of compliance will be issued after the director of planning has reviewed the required improvements or a proportional portion thereof, in accordance with the master land use plan, the development order and developers agreement, if applicable.
3.11.7.6 Revision of planned unit development order. Any major or substantial change in the approved PUD, which affects the intent and character of the development, approved land use plan, final development order and developers agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the city commission upon receipt of the recommendation of the planning board. If the requested changes are deemed to have a substantial effect on adjacent property owners, residents of the PUD or the general public, involves an increase in density or a change in the phasing, the city commission shall cause a public hearing to be held prior to official action on said requested change. A request for a revision of the land use map or development order shall be supported by a written statement demonstrating the reasons the revisions are necessary or desirable. Minor changes which do not affect the intent or character of the development may be approved by the land development coordinator.
3.11.7.7 Planned unit development time limitations. If substantial development, as determined by the city commission, has not begun within one year after approval of the planned unit development, the approval of the planned unit development will be reviewed by the planning board to determine the appropriateness of the planned unit development zoning classification for the subject property. The city commission shall consider the recommendations of the planning board and shall move to rezone the property to a more appropriate zoning classification or shall extend the deadline to undertaking construction. These procedures shall also be followed when such extended deadlines are not met.
