The PD District is a zoning district that accommodates multiple uses developed as integrated land use units either by a single owner or a combination of owners.

The PD District allows for the creative master planning of developments larger than five (5) acres. A PD District may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land use not permitted by other zoning districts, to ensure the compatibility of land uses, and to allow for the adjustment of changing demands to meet the current needs of the community by meeting one (1) or more of the following purposes:

1.

To provide for a superior design of lots or buildings;

2.

To provide for increased recreation and open space opportunities for public use and enjoyment;

3.

To provide amenities or features that would be of special benefit to the property users or to the overall community;

4.

To protect or preserve natural amenities and environmental assets such as trees, creeks, ponds, floodplains, slopes, viewscapes, or wildlife habitats;

5.

To protect or preserve existing historical buildings, structures, features or places;

6.

To provide an appropriate balance between the intensity of development and the ability to provide adequate supporting public facilities and services;

7.

To forward the goals of the comprehensive plan; and

8.

To exceed the standards of this chapter.

The zoning of a PD District shall be that shown on the development and site plan approved and made a part of the adoptive ordinance and any written special conditions within or attached to the adoptive ordinance or development plan. The ordinance granting a PD District shall include a statement as to the purpose and intent of the PD District granted therein, as well as a general statement citing the reason for the PD request.
