Regulations set forth in this section [article] are the district regulations in the PD—Planned Development District.

The purpose of this district is to encourage better development in the Town by allowing more flexibility in the planning and development of projects. Any combination of residential, commercial, light industrial, public or recreational uses may be permitted.

An application for a Planned Development District may be made to the Planning and Zoning Commission in the same manner that an application for any amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is made, provided that the same shall be accompanied by a comprehensive site plan, which shall include a scale drawing showing any proposed public or private streets and alleys; building sites or building lots; any areas proposed for dedication or reserved as parks, playgrounds, easements and points of ingress from existing public streets. The site plan shall delineate the specific areas to be devoted to the various uses requested. The site plan shall also specify the acreage to be devoted to each proposed use, the density per acre, the floor area ratio, the area regulations proposed, the off-street parking to be furnished, any screening walls, open space or common areas, and any other features as may be required by the Building Official or the Planning and Zoning Commission.

In approving the site plan and the ordinance establishing the Planned Development District, the Town Council shall, after recommendations by the Planning and Zoning Commission, specify such standards and the conditions as may be appropriate for the development. Every Planned Development District approved under the provisions of this article shall be considered an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and Map as applicable to the property involved. The approved site plan shall become an exhibit to the amendatory ordinance and shall control the uses and the areas in which such uses are permitted. In lieu of a comprehensive site plan, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of a Planned Development District based upon a preliminary site plan designating the areas of proposed use for the entire tract. The approval of the Planned Development District preliminary site plan does not imply approval of all elements of the plan. It shall be unlawful to issue a building permit on the basis of a preliminary site plan.

All buildings shall be constructed according to the requirements listed under other specific district categories.

The developer of a Planned Development District shall, at his expense, furnish a complete written ordinance in such acceptable form to be approved by the Town Council.
