(a)

This zoning district is intended to establish truly unique developments in which conventional design requirements and districts cannot accommodate. The PUD district is not intended to allow developments in which higher densities are sought for the sole purpose of circumventing the existing zoning districts. The PUD district also allows for more truly mixed-use developments rather than a conventional residential subdivision. Upon approval of the mayor and council, the PUD designation shall be conditional with the site plan and written report becoming the actual zoning and development criteria for the land, unless otherwise required in this Code.

(b)

The purpose of the PUD district is to allow for owner occupied fee simple row-houses, fee simple townhouses, condominiums, or fee simple single-family attached or detached dwelling units. A single-family dwelling, that may or may not be attached, in a row in which each unit has its own front and rear access to the outside and each attached unit is separated by one or more common fire resistant walls which conform to existing International Building Code Specifications. This district does not allow for apartments, rental duplexes, rental units or lease units. Each unit shall be platted and deeded separately in either condominium or fee simple form. This Code shall not dictate the form in which units are transferred and how associations are established and maintained. All common areas within the development shall also be owned by a homeowners association. PUD developments shall generally be situated in areas where higher density and clustering is logical and planned with infrastructure availability. Compatibility with existing land use patterns should also be considered. Minimal ancillary uses shall be allowed to complement the nature of the primary residential use of the property. Area, yard and height requirements describe in detail the density and development standards applied to this district.

(c)

PUD districts shall be allowed at the discretion of the mayor and council. Areas zoned for multifamily is eligible to request a change to PUD zoning. Upon review and recommendation of the city planning and zoning board, along with typical city zoning criteria, rezoning proposals for PUD shall be subject to the following considerations. The following must be presented to the city at the time of the zoning application to qualify for the PUD district:

(1)

A survey of the property in its entirety, including topography;
