The purpose of the C-1 district is to meet the needs of most levels of commercial development ranging from the small scale retail and service stores serving local neighborhoods, to the larger scale regional service and retail facilities.

Many commercial uses will be subject to at least one of these reviews to ensure that development occurs harmoniously and takes into consideration the anticipated adverse impacts of development, existing site conditions, and adjacent land uses.

Sec. 70-436. - Intent and general purpose.

(a)

The planned unit development zone district ("PUD district") is intended to respond to unique and extraordinary circumstances, where more flexible zoning than what is achievable through a standard zone district is desirable and multiple variances, waivers, and conditions can be avoided.

(b)

The general purpose of a PUD district is to provide an alternative to conventional land use regulations, combining use, density, site plan, and building form considerations into a single process, and substituting procedural protections for the more prescriptive requirements in this Code.

(c)

"Unique and extraordinary circumstances" that justify use of a PUD district include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1)

Where a development site has special physical characteristics, including but not limited to irregular or odd-shaped lots, or lots with significant topographical barriers to standard development or construction practice; or

(2)

Where a development site is subject to an existing PUD and rezoning to a new PUD district will bring the site closer to conformance with current zoning regulations and adopted plans; or

(3)

A development proposal is unable to meet the standard zoning district requirements due to unique development design; or

(4)

Where the proposed scale or timing of a development project demands a more customized zoning approach to achieve a successful, phased development.

(d)

A PUD district is not intended as either a vehicle to develop a site inconsistent with the applicable neighborhood context and character, or solely as a vehicle to enhance a proposed development's economic feasibility.

(e)

In return for the flexibility in site design with respect to the arrangement, heights, and setbacks of buildings, densities, open space and circulation elements, development under a PUD district should provide significant public benefit not achievable through application of a standard zone district, including but not limited to diversification in the use of land; innovation in development; more efficient use of land and energy; exemplary pedestrian connections, amenities, and considerations; and development patterns compatible in character and design with nearby areas and with the goals and objectives of city's comprehensive plan and other pertinent city plan and policy documents.
