The purpose of the PD Planned Development District is to permit greater flexibility in land development than that permitted by the strict interpretation of this Zoning Code. The Planned Development District should only be used for projects of high quality that would not normally be provided for in other districts or for projects where an extensive review of plans is desirable. No uses are permitted outright.

(Ord. 1054. Passed 12-2-85; Ord. 1584. Passed 9-17-07.)

   After an extensive plan review, the following uses may be permitted in a PD Planned Development District:

   (a)   Camps;

   (b)   Manufactured home parks pursuant to Section 1157.10;

   (c)   Vacation home developments;

   (d)   Large recreational complexes having several types of recreational uses;

   (e)   Manufacturing parks;

   (f)   Housing projects for three acres or fifteen or more dwelling units;

   (g)   Shopping centers;

   (h)   Facilities needed in support of any of the uses set forth in divisions (a) to (g) of this section, such as shopping, schools, churches, clubs, parks, water and/or sewage treatment facilities, etc., when submitted as a part of the overall development plan;

   (i)   Combinations of the uses set forth in divisions (a) to (h) of this section;

   (j)   Home businesses;

   (k)   Essential services;

   (l)   Accessory uses;
