A.
Purpose.
1.
The PUD Planned Unit Development district is intended and designed to encourage quality development of larger scale vacant or underutilized tracts of land throughout the City. Development is pursuant to a unified building and site development plan. The requirements of a PUD apply to the property on which the approval is granted regardless of the subsequent sale or conveyance of property to a new property owner. The PUD district, which is adopted by the Board of Aldermen with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, assures specific development standards for each designated project.
2.
It is further the intent of this Section to allow greater flexibility of standards and diversification of land uses than provided in the regulations of other zoning districts set forth in this Chapter to:
a.
Preserve open space and other environmentally sensitive areas;
b.
Permit development of land which, because of topographic, shape, or other practical difficulties, otherwise cannot be feasibly developed;
c.
Encourage appropriate mixed-use development; and
d.
Encourage revitalization of older neighborhoods by permitting development or redevelopment of vacant or underutilized tracts of land substantially surrounded by other properties which have been developed with buildings.
B.
Application Procedure. The owner of a contiguous tract of land may file an application for a Zoning Map amendment to the PUD Planned Unit Development district classification. Such tract shall be no less than two (2) acres in area, exclusive of streets and alleys.

Provide the developer with information and guidance regarding applicable City ordinances, specifications, standards and procedures, before the developer enters into binding commitments or incurs substantial expenses; and
(3)
Discuss special site considerations and the flexibility criteria in Table 400.170.E, working with the developer to meet the intent of the comprehensive plan while allowing flexibility where typical zoning districts may not allow.
b.
The City may set regular schedules for pre-application meetings or on an as-needed basis. In preparation for the meeting, and to obtain the most accurate guidance from City staff, the developer shall bring sufficient materials that show:
(1)
The general location of the project;
(2)
The proposed uses and buildings;
(3)
The general site design, including buildings parking, open spaces, and drainage;
(4)
Location of natural resources, floodplains, and slopes on the subject property; and
(5)
Any other information the Zoning Inspector may request prior to the meeting.
c.
Comments from the committee, as may be necessary, shall be provided to the developer. The comments shall overview the requirements for the development and discussed flexibility criteria. The developer has the option to schedule subsequent pre-application meetings with City staff before preparing an application to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The developer is encouraged to contact adjoining property owners to inform them of the plan to submit a development proposal.
C.
Final Development Plan. An application for a final development plan shall be submitted and approved before issuing building permits for development in accordance with this Section.

J.
Grading Permits. No permit for land use concerning any stage of a PUD Planned Unit Development shall be issued until after the PUD development plan has been approved by the Board of Aldermen.
K.
Board Of Adjustment Review Precluded. Because the PUD district is intended to provide relief from the rigid regulations of more conventional zoning districts pursuant to a carefully integrated overall development plan, the Board of Adjustment shall have no jurisdiction to grant any variation, exception or special permit relating to any property in the PUD district. The Board of Adjustment may hear appeals to the decisions of the Zoning Inspector or Board of Aldermen on PUD district rezoning.
L.
Failure To Submit Development Plan Or To Commence Construction.
