The City Council may, following a recommendation from the Planning Commission, approve a Planned Residential Development (PRD). In many cases, the development pattern of the PRD will not be consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. In such a case, the Subdivision Ordinance shall dictate.

Furthermore, a PRD allows a flexible development layout in return for desirable amenities. If a PRD is approved by the City Council, it shall not be considered a spot zone, nor be required to obtain a zone change.

Planned Unit Developments are similar in nature to Planned Residential Developments and shall take precedence of this ordinance as well. Any requirements of this Title not specifically waived by the City Council shall remain in full effect as found herein.
