- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS
(a)
Purpose. The purpose of these provisions is to encourage flexibility, innovation and variety in the development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design, character and quality of development; to facilitate the adequate and economic provision of streets, utilities and services; to achieve beneficial land use relationships with the surrounding area; to preserve the unique natural and scenic features of the landscape; and to preserve open space as development occurs.
(b)
The following criteria represent the objectives of the planned district:
(1)
Environmentally sensitive design that is of a higher quality than would be possible under the regulations otherwise applicable to the property.
(2)
Diversification in the uses permitted and variation in the relationship of uses, open space and the setbacks in developments intended as cohesive, unified projects.
(3)
Functional and beneficial uses of open space areas.
(4)
Preservation of natural features of a development site such as ponds, lakes, creeks, streams, wetlands, animal habitats, etc.
(5)
Creation of a safe and desirable living environment for residential areas characterized by a unified building and site development program.
(6)
Rational and economically sound development in relation to public services.
(7)
Efficient and effective traffic circulation, both within and adjacent to the development site.
(8)
Creation of a variety of architectural styles and housing types compatible with surrounding neighborhoods to provide greater housing choice.
(c)
Application of the districts. To enable the planned unit development (PUD) to operate in harmony with the plan for land uses and population density embodied in this article, the PUD is created as a special district, to be superimposed on the base districts contained in article III, and to be designated as a PUD on the zoning map. The housing types, minimum lot requirements, maximum height, minimum yard requirements and signage shall be determined by the requirements and procedures set forth in this article, which shall prevail over conflicting requirements of this ordinance or the subdivision ordinance of the City of Monroe.
(d)
Minimum area. The minimum area for PUDs under this article shall be as follows:
(1)
In residential districts three (3) contiguous acres;
(2)
In all other zoning districts five (5) contiguous acres;
(3)
In calculating the minimum area for a PUD district, the measurement shall not include the area of any dedicated street or alley.
(e)
PUD application requirements. As outlined in subsection 37-130(h) of this ordinance, the PUD shall be processed in three (3) stages: conceptual review, preliminary plan and subdivision review, and final plan. The following outlines the requirements for each stage of PUD application:
(1)
Conceptual review. This stage of processing is to allow the exchange of information between the proposed developer, planning and zoning staff, and all other applicable city agencies. As outlined in subsection 37-130(h)(4), each applicant is required to have a pre-application conference with the planning and zoning director or his/her designee, and all other applicable city agencies, in connection with the preparation of the PUD application. The general characteristics of the proposal, evidenced schematically by sketch plans, shall be considered before submission of the PUD application. Thereafter, staff shall furnish the applicant with written comments from the pre-application conference, including appropriate recommendation to inform and assist the applicant prior to preparing the components of the PUD application.
(2)
Preliminary plan. Upon completion of the pre-application conference with the planning and zoning director or his/her designee, and after the recommendations from the conference have been made, an application may be filed for PUD on a preliminary basis. Materials pertaining to the preliminary plan must be submitted to planning and zoning staff at least three (3) weeks prior to the meeting of the planning commission at which the preliminary plan will be considered (See subsection 37-130(h)). The application for the preliminary plan shall include the following:

(3)
Final plan.
a.
Submission. After approval of the preliminary plan, application may be made for approval of the final plan.

e.
Approval. The final plan shall be reviewed by the planning commission, who will approve, approve conditionally, or reject the plan as per subsection 37-130(h) of this ordinance.
f.
Penalties. No plat of land within a PUD shall be transferred, sold, or agreed to be sold before such a plat of a subdivision has been approved by the planning commission and filed with the Ouachita Parish Clerk of Court. Whoever, owner or agent, who transfers, sells, or agrees to sell unrecorded lots shall pay a penalty of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each lot or parcel so transferred, sold, or agreed to be sold; and the description of such lot or parcel by metes and bounds shall not exempt the transaction from such penalties or from remedies herein provided.

- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS
(a)
Purpose. The purpose of these provisions is to encourage flexibility, innovation and variety in the development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design, character and quality of development; to facilitate the adequate and economic provision of streets, utilities and services; to achieve beneficial land use relationships with the surrounding area; to preserve the unique natural and scenic features of the landscape; and to preserve open space as development occurs.
(b)
The following criteria represent the objectives of the planned district:
(1)
Environmentally sensitive design that is of a higher quality than would be possible under the regulations otherwise applicable to the property.
(2)
Diversification in the uses permitted and variation in the relationship of uses, open space and the setbacks in developments intended as cohesive, unified projects.
(3)
Functional and beneficial uses of open space areas.
(4)
Preservation of natural features of a development site such as ponds, lakes, creeks, streams, wetlands, animal habitats, etc.
(5)
Creation of a safe and desirable living environment for residential areas characterized by a unified building and site development program.
(6)
Rational and economically sound development in relation to public services.
(7)
Efficient and effective traffic circulation, both within and adjacent to the development site.
(8)
Creation of a variety of architectural styles and housing types compatible with surrounding neighborhoods to provide greater housing choice.
(c)
Application of the districts. To enable the planned unit development (PUD) to operate in harmony with the plan for land uses and population density embodied in this article, the PUD is created as a special district, to be superimposed on the base districts contained in article III, and to be designated as a PUD on the zoning map. The housing types, minimum lot requirements, maximum height, minimum yard requirements and signage shall be determined by the requirements and procedures set forth in this article, which shall prevail over conflicting requirements of this ordinance or the subdivision ordinance of the City of Monroe.
(d)
Minimum area. The minimum area for PUDs under this article shall be as follows:
(1)
In residential districts three (3) contiguous acres;
(2)

(e)
PUD application requirements. As outlined in subsection 37-130(h) of this ordinance, the PUD shall be processed in three (3) stages: conceptual review, preliminary plan and subdivision review, and final plan. The following outlines the requirements for each stage of PUD application:
(1)
Conceptual review. This stage of processing is to allow the exchange of information between the proposed developer, planning and zoning staff, and all other applicable city agencies. As outlined in subsection 37-130(h)(4), each applicant is required to have a pre-application conference with the planning and zoning director or his/her designee, and all other applicable city agencies, in connection with the preparation of the PUD application.
