The PD Plan and PD Zoning Regulations constitute the formally approved, overall zoning plan for the property. The PD Plan contains mapped information regarding the layout of general use areas, open space, PLD, trails, major streets and other significant public improvements and easements. The PD zoning regulations specify permitted uses, densities and other important development controls for each use area and the property as a whole.

The Planning Commission shall review the PD Plan proposed and send its recommendations to the Town Council. The Town Council shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the PD Plan and PD zoning regulations.

(Ord. 2012-18 §1)
