(a)

Purpose and intent. The application of flexible land use regulations to the development of land is often difficult or impossible within traditional zoning district standards. In order to permit the use of more flexible land use regulations and to facilitate use of the most advantageous techniques of land development, it is often necessary to establish a planned unit development (PUD) zoning district designation in which development is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Code and the comprehensive plan. The objective of a PUD zoning district is to encourage ingenuity, imagination and design efforts on the part of builders, architects, site planners and developers, to produce development which is in keeping with overall land use intensity and open space objectives of this Code and the comprehensive plan, while departing from the strict application of the dimensional standards of the traditional zoning districts. The purpose and intent of the PUD zoning district designation is to permit such flexibility and provide performance criteria for PUD which:

(1)

Permits a creative approach to the development of land;

(2)

Accomplishes a more desirable environment than would be possible through the strict application of the minimum standards of this Code;

(3)

Provides for an efficient use of land, resulting in small networks of utilities and streets, thereby lowering development costs;

(4)

Enhances the appearance of the land through preservation of natural features, the provision of underground utilities, where possible, and the provision of recreation areas and open space in excess of existing standards;

(5)

Provides an opportunity for new approaches to ownership;

(6)

Provides an environment of stable character compatible with surrounding areas; and

(7)

Retains property values.

(8)

Provides a benefit to the public through innovative design

(b)

General applicability. Before any development shall be designated PUD zoning district on the official zoning map, it shall receive PUD zoning district approval pursuant to the terms of this section.

(c)

Initiation of application. An application for a development permit for a PUD zoning district designation may only be submitted by the owner, or any person having a contractual interest and unified control of the land, or their authorized agent.

(d)

General overview. Prior to receipt of a PUD zoning district classification, land must receive approval of an application for PUD pursuant to the procedures and standards of this section. The application for a PUD zoning district classification must then receive approval of a development plan pursuant to the procedures and standards of section 34-586 et seq.

(e)

Preapplication conference.
