PERMITTED USE TABLE
;adv=q;(Ord. No. 13-2024, § 1(Exh. A), 4-7-25)
(a)
Purpose and intent. The purpose of the PUD planned unit development is to offer an alternative to the residential, commercial and industrial districts of this Land Development Code. A PUD district may deviate from the definitive and precise requirements of established zoning districts if the particular areas to be developed can offer greater value to the community and can preserve the community's health, welfare and safety than if those same areas were to be developed as a single purpose zoning district. A PUD district may also be mixed-use so that it not only contains residential, commercial, office or industrial uses, but a combination of these uses.
The purpose of a planned unit development is to:
(1)
Encourage flexibility in the development of land and in the design of structures.
(2)
Encourage planned diversification in the location of structures.
(3)
Encourage a creative approach to the use of land that results in better development and design than might otherwise be accomplished under the strict application of the Land Development Code.
(4)
Provide for the efficient use of land to facilitate a more effective arrangement of land uses, buildings, circulation systems and utilities.
(5)
Provide for more usable and suitably located open space and recreation areas than might otherwise be provided under the application of the Land Development Code.
(6)
Encourage the construction of appropriate aesthetic amenities which will enhance the character of the site.
(7)
Guarantee quality construction commensurate with other developments within the community, and compatible with the character of the surrounding area and adjoining properties.
(8)
Facilitate implementation of the comprehensive plan.
(9)
Provide for the development of unique land areas and sites that would not be possible under the strict application of this Land Development Code.
(10)
Encourage quality construction and design. PUDs that were in existence prior to the effective date of this chapter [November 16, 1998] shall continue in accordance with their original approval and shall be deemed to be lawful conforming land uses. To the extent of any specific amendment to these PUDs, the amendment must comply with the requirements of this chapter. Terms previously used in said the approved PUDs may continue to be employed.

The PUD classification has been divided into four sub-classifications for land uses of residential, commercial, industrial and mixed use.
(f)
Commercial planned unit development. It is the intent of these regulations to provide for the development of business, office and commercial establishments in appropriate locations, in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan and the standards set forth herein. CPUDs may provide a range of office facilities and services appropriate to the general need of the area served.
(g)
Industrial planned unit development. It is the intent of these regulations to encourage complimentary groupings of manufacturing, processing, assembly, research, distribution, office and associated uses, on sites with adequate frontage and depth, adjacent to major streets, or streets serving industrial areas.
(h)

PERMITTED USE TABLE
;adv=q;(Ord. No. 13-2024, § 1(Exh. A), 4-7-25)
(a)
Purpose and intent. The purpose of the PUD planned unit development is to offer an alternative to the residential, commercial and industrial districts of this Land Development Code. A PUD district may deviate from the definitive and precise requirements of established zoning districts if the particular areas to be developed can offer greater value to the community and can preserve the community's health, welfare and safety than if those same areas were to be developed as a single purpose zoning district. A PUD district may also be mixed-use so that it not only contains residential, commercial, office or industrial uses, but a combination of these uses.
The purpose of a planned unit development is to:
(1)
Encourage flexibility in the development of land and in the design of structures.
(2)
Encourage planned diversification in the location of structures.
(3)
Encourage a creative approach to the use of land that results in better development and design than might otherwise be accomplished under the strict application of the Land Development Code.
(4)
Provide for the efficient use of land to facilitate a more effective arrangement of land uses, buildings, circulation systems and utilities.
(5)
Provide for more usable and suitably located open space and recreation areas than might otherwise be provided under the application of the Land Development Code.
(6)
Encourage the construction of appropriate aesthetic amenities which will enhance the character of the site.
(7)
Guarantee quality construction commensurate with other developments within the community, and compatible with the character of the surrounding area and adjoining properties.
(8)
Facilitate implementation of the comprehensive plan.
(9)
Provide for the development of unique land areas and sites that would not be possible under the strict application of this Land Development Code.
(10)
Encourage quality construction and design. PUDs that were in existence prior to the effective date of this chapter [November 16, 1998] shall continue in accordance with their original approval and shall be deemed to be lawful conforming land uses. To the extent of any specific amendment to these PUDs, the amendment must comply with the requirements of this chapter. Terms previously used in said the approved PUDs may continue to be employed.

(8)
All proposed streets, alleys and driveways must be adequate to serve the residents, occupants, visitors or other anticipated traffic. The PUD may be, subject to city commission approval, designed to discourage outside through traffic from traversing the development. Access points to public streets, and the location of private streets, alleys and driveways are subject to the approval of the city commission.
(9)
The pedestrian circulation system and its related walkways must provide for separation of pedestrian and vehicular movement and for maximum pedestrian safety.
(10)
The construction and maintenance of all utilities, roadways, parking facilities and other site improvement must be in accordance with the requirements of this Land Development Code and other regulations of the city.
