Intent

The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zone provides a means of achieving greater flexibility in the development of land, appropriate in size and shape to facilitate utilization in a manner not possible by conventional zones. The PUD Zone, is intended to encourage more efficient uses of land, while still providing proper arrangement of uses and structures. As such PUDs must be related to the land, surrounding uses and zoning; and would ensure the fulfillment of community needs relative to certain residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and other land uses. Through the exercise of sound and proper planning principles, PUDs incorporate appropriate property development standards, that would not be detrimental to surrounding property or uses nor the public health, safety and welfare. All forms of Planned Unit Developments (PUD) shall be subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit and may include mixed combinations of the various forms of residential, civic, commercial, industrial, recreational uses and other forms of land uses.

Principal Permitted Uses

Buildings, structures and land shall be used and structures shall hereinafter be erected, altered or enlarged only for those uses specifically listed in the granting of a Conditional Use Permit, as hereinafter provided for in the following section.

Mobile Food Establishments, but not in a PUD which permits residential use, and not in any right-of-way or public easement

Uses Permitted Subject to a Conditional Use Permit

The following uses may be permitted in the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zone, and require a Conditional Use Permit, plus such other uses as the City Council, by resolution, may deem to be similar to those uses listed and not obnoxious or detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare:

Uses Expressly Prohibited

Any use not included in the granting of a Conditional Use Permit shall be deemed as a use expressly prohibited, unless additional uses are included pursuant to an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit authorizing a Planned Unit Development. The use of outdoor amplified sound shall be prohibited when adjacent to R-1, R-1-A, and R-5.

Property Development Standards

Each Planned Unit Development shall contain a minimum area of three (3) acres.

Property development standards, applicable to any Planned Unit Development regarding lot area, lot dimension including width and depth, yards including front, side and rear, building heights, distance between buildings, fences, hedges and walls, signs, lighting, access, off-street parking, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, open spaces, grading and drainage, sanitation, public utilities and such other matters pertinent to the development, shall be determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council at the time of review of plans denoting the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) or associated Conditional Use Permit considerations.

The property development standards denoted in the various zones defined in this Ordinance may be used as guidelines for the determining of appropriate property development standards.

Property development standards imposed in conjunction with Planned Unit Development shall in no way be contrary to applicable federal, state or county laws and shall not be inconsistent with any plans enacted pursuant to applicable authority by the legislative body, nor shall such property development standards be in deviation from sound planning principles nor detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare.
