§ 155.065 PURPOSE.
The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to provide for land use developments where a variety of residential, commercial and industrial uses are planned and developed as a whole. A PUD shall conform to the following guidelines:
(A) Up to 25% of the gross land area in a PUD may be used for commercial, industrial and non-recreational public uses.
(B) Each PUD shall have common open space. At least 10% of the gross land area in a PUD shall be allocated for parks, open space and recreational purposes.
(C) The plan of the project shall provide for the integrated and harmonious design of buildings in the commercial and industrial areas and the parcels shall be developed in park-like surroundings. The parcels shall be landscaping, and woodlands used to screen lighting, parking areas, and loading areas from adjacent residential areas.
(D) PUDs will be evaluated through point systems. Subdivisions, residential, industrial, and commercial areas shall all be evaluated with their respective site design and community impacts point system. The entire project shall be evaluated using the subdivision context and environmental impacts point system. In the case of only part of the PUD being approved, the unapproved development will have to be approved before any construction begins.
(E) PUDs shall be allowed on any land within the county if approved.
