"PD" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

General Purpose and Description of the Planned Development District:
The Planned Development District is intended to provide for the combining and mixing of uses allowed in various districts with appropriate regulations, and to permit growth flexibility in the use and design of land and buildings in situations where modification of special provisions of this Ordinance is not contrary to its intent and purpose or significantly inconsistent with the planning on which it is based and will not be harmful to the neighborhood. A PD District may be used to permit new and innovative concepts in land utilization. The zoning requirements of land having "Planned Development" zoning are detailed in writing in the adoptive ordinance or shown on the "Development Plan" that is attached to and made a part of the adoptive ordinance that grants the zoning change. The adoptive ordinance may establish requirements by reference to the basic zoning ordinance or may list specific conditions or requirements.
