Pine City City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 13

68 PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT

13.68.010 Purpose

  1. The provisions of this chapter are designed to deal with larger scale development and facilitate better site planning and community planning. This can be done through modification of certain district regulations as they apply to such development.
  2. In larger scale development, the Zoning Code might place unnecessary or undesirable rigidities on the Site Plan and prevent achievement of the best possible plan. Therefore, this chapter has the following intents:
    1. To permit flexibility in site design.
    2. To achieve more efficient use of land, within the framework and intent of the Zoning Code, which can result from large scale or multiple use developments.
    3. To encourage and permit provision of open space.
    4. To protect and preserve scenic assets and natural features and incorporate these into the development.
    5. To foster a more stable community by providing a variety and balance of housing types and living environments.
    6. To encourage and permit variety in the location of buildings, roads, parking lots, and other facilities and activities.
    7. To increase the safety of pedestrians and vehicular traffic by reducing the number of traffic conflict points within a development.
  3. For Planned Unit Developments in the Shoreland District, see PCC 13.88.
