- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD ZONING DISTRICT
(A)
It is the intent and purpose of this district to provide, upon specific application and through the processes of unified planning and coordinated development, for the creation of new neighborhood or community areas offering a physical, social, and economic environment of high quality. Specific objectives of the district include the establishment of an orderly pattern of land uses geared to accommodate both near-term and long-term community needs; the efficient and economical use of land; and appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development; creative design; a high level of living and working amenities, including plentiful open space and recreation opportunities; efficient and effective systems of public facilities and services; a high degree of compatibility with adjacent and nearby existing and future development; appropriate conservation and preservation of natural features and resources; and the staging of development so as to best serve the general welfare of the City.
(B)
Regulations for planned unit developments are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulation, and other applicable City regulations to the same degree as in instances where City regulations are intended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis rather than on a unified development approach. However, it is essential that the regulations and requirements applying to planned unit developments be sufficiently flexible in structure so as to encourage creative and imaginative design in planning and development. Where there are conflicts between the requirements of the general provisions of this chapter or other applicable codes of the City and the requirements established by official action upon a specific planned unit development, the latter requirements shall govern.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99)
For the purpose of this subchapter the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:
Planned Unit Development (PUD). Land planned under unified control and developed in a coordinated manner in one (1) or more development phases for uses and structures well suited to the development itself and the surrounding area of which it is a part, according to an approved conceptual plan of development, and with programs for full maintenance and operation of any facilities and services, not to be dedicated to, and accepted by, a public agency for public ownership, operation and maintenance. PUD's may be for commercial, office, industrial, institutional or residential development or for a mixture of various land uses.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99)
In reaching recommendations and decisions as to rezoning land to PUD classification, the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council shall apply the following standards in addition to the standards and procedures of sections 158.315 through 158.322 applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(A)
Area Requirement. In general, the area of a proposed planned unit development district will have to be of substantial size to permit its design and development as a cohesive unit fulfilling the stated purpose and objectives of these regulations and to +establish the district as a meaningful segment of the larger community. Each proposed district shall therefor be evaluated as to its adequacy in size with respect to both the nature and character of its internal design and to its specific location within the City. The minimum size of a PUD district to be considered for establishment shall be two (2) acres.
(B)
Relation to Major Transportation Facilities. PUD districts shall be so located with respect to arterial or major streets, highways, collector streets, or other transportation facilities as to provide suitable access to those districts without creating or generating traffic along minor streets in residential areas or districts outside the PUD districts.
(1)
The minimum number of residential development access points shall be determined per the National Fire Protection Association 1141 Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas, 2017 Edition (NFPA 1141); or as determined by a traffic study or the Fire Marshal, whichever is more stringent.
a)
The secondary access point shall be located on a different public roadway than the primary access and on different sides of the development where feasible. When the public roadway is not yet constructed to the secondary access point, installation of the secondary access point shall include construction of the public roadway up to the secondary access point at a minimum; and which shall be constructed in conformance with the City's Engineering Standards for Land Development.
b)
When an access point is provided as an emergency use only, per the NFPA 1141, the access point must utilize a stabilized, pervious surface approved by the City Engineer and Fire Marshal.
(C)
Relation to Utilities, Public Facilities, and Services. PUD districts shall be required to obtain developers agreements regarding provision of utilities, to meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan regarding levels of service (LOS) for public facilities and to meet the requirements of Chapter 160, Concurrency Management System.
(D)
Physical Character of the Site. The site shall be suitable for development in the manner proposed without hazards to persons or property, on or off the tract, from probability of flooding, erosion, or other dangers, annoyances, or inconveniences. Condition of soil, ground water level, drainage, and topography shall be appropriate to both kind and pattern of use intended.
(E)
Consistency with the City Comprehensive Plan. To be eligible for consideration, a PUD rezoning proposal must be found to be consistent with all applicable elements of the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan with respect to both its proposed internal design and its relationship to adjacent areas and the City as a whole.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99; Ord. No. 23-53, § 2, 11-27-23)
In order to permit maximum flexibility in the design of a proposed planned unit development, no specific permitted uses are established. Uses permitted within a PUD district shall be only those residential, cultural, recreational, business, commercial, industrial, and related uses as are deemed by the City Council to be fully compatible with each other, with the context of the proposed development as a whole, and with the zoning and land use patterns of surrounding areas. The type, general location, and extent of all proposed uses shall be clearly designated as part of the conceptual development plan, and approval of those uses or types of uses as part of a rezoning amendment shall constitute the permitted land use requirements of a particular PUD district to the same extent and degree as were those permitted uses specifically included within these regulations. Any proposed change of approved land usage, other than necessary minor refinements in size, configuration, or location as may be required in the preparation of the detailed development plans, shall require a new hearing and approval action in accordance with the administrative review and approval procedures herein established. Accessory uses normally associated with the uses permitted as part of the approval action upon a specific PUD proposal shall be permitted at those locations and in an intensity as normally provided for that development within other zoning districts of the city, unless accessory uses are expressly prohibited within the approval action or are otherwise regulated by that action.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99)
(A)
Residential Density. The number and type of residential dwelling units to be permitted within a PUD district or within specific portions of a PUD district shall be as determined by the City Council and stipulated within the approval action. Maximum gross residential density of a PUD district shall be determined by the densities set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
(B)
Access. Every dwelling unit or other use permitted within a PUD district shall have access to a public or private street (of the type required for the PUD under subsection 158.172(B)) either directly or via an approved private road, pedestrian way, court, or other area dedicated to public or private use, or common element guaranteeing access.
(C)
Internal Lots and Frontage.
(1)
No minimum lot sizes or minimum yards are established for a PUD district under these regulations. However, the applicable minimum lot size and yard size requirements of conventional zoning districts shall be utilized wherever proposed PUD development is essentially equivalent to that development permitted under conventional zoning district classifications. In addition, wherever land within a PUD district has frontage upon preexisting public roads, the front yard requirement of the conventional zoning district most applicable to the use or uses proposed for that land shall apply; and wherever yards within a PUD district abut a conventional zoning district, those yards shall comply with the yard requirements of the conventional zoning district. Where appropriate, the City Council may stipulate minimum lot sizes and minimum yard requirements as part of the approval action.
(2)
Land area which would normally be required for residential lots, but which is not so used under the permitted lot size reduction provisions of this section of the chapter, shall be devoted instead to common open space for the enjoyment and use by residents of the development and shall be preserved into perpetuity as open space.
(D)
Minimum Living Area. The minimum living area requirements shall be as stipulated within the approval action.
(E)
Maximum Building Height. The maximum height of all residential structures not within a PUD, shall be thirty-five (35) feet. Within a PUD, greater than five (5) acres, the maximum height permitted is seventy-five (75) feet. Any structure greater than thirty-five (35) feet in height shall be required to maintain a setback from the property line of such PUD of one hundred (100) percent of the building height, except for PUDs located within the Port St. Lucie Community Redevelopment Area. The maximum height for commercial, office, and institutional uses within a PUD located in the Port St. Lucie Community Redevelopment Area may be one hundred twenty (120) feet or ten (10) stories, whichever is less. All such height requests are contingent upon the approval of a master plan and elevation drawings, which illustrate that the proposed height is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The applicant is required to provide adequate information to support the compatibility of the proposed taller structures with the surrounding land uses.
(F)
Provision for Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation.
(1)
The street and roadway pattern within a PUD shall be designed so as to take advantage of existing natural features and shall provide for a logical and orderly movement of vehicular traffic throughout the development. Provisions shall be made for the reservation or dedication of all rights-of-way needed for the improvement of existing streets or the construction of new streets indicated within the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The internal street system shall be properly coordinated with all existing streets and roadways at the project's boundaries, and all streets shall be designed in accordance with City standards and requirements including section 156.098 which limits cul-de-sac lengths to a maximum of one thousand (1,000) feet.
(2)
Reductions of right-of-way widths below those normally required may be granted in specific cases where the City Council finds lesser widths are appropriate due to the unique design of the PUD.
(3)
Provision shall be made within a PUD for the separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and a system of sidewalks or pedestrian ways shall be incorporated into the PUD design for the exclusive use of pedestrians.
(G)
Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading Requirements. Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided as set forth within section 158.221. Modified parking and loading facilities may be approved for a PUD provided that they fulfill the purpose and intent of section 158.221. A professional parking analysis justifying such modifications must be submitted with any application or amendment to a PUD requesting such modifications.
(H)
Provision for Public Facilities and Services. Provision shall be made within a PUD district for all public facilities and services deemed essential by the City Council for location and establishment within that district. Required sites for facilities and services shall be of such sizes, proportions, and location so as to effectively serve their intended purposes in a manner beneficial to future residents of the development and to the City as a whole. These sites shall be dedicated to the City or other applicable public body at no cost.
(I)
Underground Utilities. Within a PUD, all utilities, including telephone, television cable, and electrical systems shall be installed underground. Appurtenances to these systems which require above-ground installation shall be effectively screened and, thereby, may be exempted from this requirement. Primary facilities providing services to the site of the PUD may be exempted.
(J)
Protection of Natural Features. Provision shall be made within the design of a PUD for the protection and conservation of significant natural features within or adjacent to the site. Where any alteration of those features is required as part of the development proposed within the PUD district, the developer shall replace the altered features with natural features or areas acceptable to the City.
(K)
Landscaping and Buffering. Landscaping and buffering requirements are subject to Chapter 154. An alternative landscape plan may be approved for a PUD provided that it fulfills the purpose and intent of Chapter 154. Wherever essential to ensure compatibility, land use areas within a PUD shall be suitably screened from each other and from adjacent development or roadways outside the PUD by appropriate buffering materials. Buffering shall be provided by use of natural vegetation, landscaping berms, or decorative wood or masonry walls.
(L)
Commercial and Industrial Development. In general, commercial or industrial uses within a PUD district shall be only those deemed essential to serve the needs of the PUD residents and not the general needs of the surrounding area. However, where it is found by the City that the lands within a proposed PUD district are appropriately located and of proper size and configuration so as to serve an existing or future need or commercial or industrial development of the larger community, provision for the development may be included within that proposed PUD district. No commercial or industrial uses shall be approved as part of a PUD unless the location, site size, and proposed intensity of those uses are found to be consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99; Ord. No. 02-92, § 1, 11-25-02; Ord. No. 05-27, § 1, 3-14-05; Ord. No. 15-85, § 1, 12-7-15; Ord. No. 19-66, § 2, 10-14-19)

- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD ZONING DISTRICT
(A)
It is the intent and purpose of this district to provide, upon specific application and through the processes of unified planning and coordinated development, for the creation of new neighborhood or community areas offering a physical, social, and economic environment of high quality. Specific objectives of the district include the establishment of an orderly pattern of land uses geared to accommodate both near-term and long-term community needs; the efficient and economical use of land; and appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development; creative design; a high level of living and working amenities, including plentiful open space and recreation opportunities; efficient and effective systems of public facilities and services; a high degree of compatibility with adjacent and nearby existing and future development; appropriate conservation and preservation of natural features and resources; and the staging of development so as to best serve the general welfare of the City.
(B)
Regulations for planned unit developments are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulation, and other applicable City regulations to the same degree as in instances where City regulations are intended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis rather than on a unified development approach. However, it is essential that the regulations and requirements applying to planned unit developments be sufficiently flexible in structure so as to encourage creative and imaginative design in planning and development. Where there are conflicts between the requirements of the general provisions of this chapter or other applicable codes of the City and the requirements established by official action upon a specific planned unit development, the latter requirements shall govern.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99)
For the purpose of this subchapter the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:
Planned Unit Development (PUD). Land planned under unified control and developed in a coordinated manner in one (1) or more development phases for uses and structures well suited to the development itself and the surrounding area of which it is a part, according to an approved conceptual plan of development, and with programs for full maintenance and operation of any facilities and services, not to be dedicated to, and accepted by, a public agency for public ownership, operation and maintenance. PUD's may be for commercial, office, industrial, institutional or residential development or for a mixture of various land uses.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99)
In reaching recommendations and decisions as to rezoning land to PUD classification, the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council shall apply the following standards in addition to the standards and procedures of sections 158.315 through 158.322 applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(A)
Area Requirement. In general, the area of a proposed planned unit development district will have to be of substantial size to permit its design and development as a cohesive unit fulfilling the stated purpose and objectives of these regulations and to +establish the district as a meaningful segment of the larger community. Each proposed district shall therefor be evaluated as to its adequacy in size with respect to both the nature and character of its internal design and to its specific location within the City. The minimum size of a PUD district to be considered for establishment shall be two (2) acres.
(B)
Relation to Major Transportation Facilities. PUD districts shall be so located with respect to arterial or major streets, highways, collector streets, or other transportation facilities as to provide suitable access to those districts without creating or generating traffic along minor streets in residential areas or districts outside the PUD districts.
(1)
The minimum number of residential development access points shall be determined per the National Fire Protection Association 1141 Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas, 2017 Edition (NFPA 1141); or as determined by a traffic study or the Fire Marshal, whichever is more stringent.
a)
The secondary access point shall be located on a different public roadway than the primary access and on different sides of the development where feasible. When the public roadway is not yet constructed to the secondary access point, installation of the secondary access point shall include construction of the public roadway up to the secondary access point at a minimum; and which shall be constructed in conformance with the City's Engineering Standards for Land Development.
b)
When an access point is provided as an emergency use only, per the NFPA 1141, the access point must utilize a stabilized, pervious surface approved by the City Engineer and Fire Marshal.
(C)
Relation to Utilities, Public Facilities, and Services. PUD districts shall be required to obtain developers agreements regarding provision of utilities, to meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan regarding levels of service (LOS) for public facilities and to meet the requirements of Chapter 160, Concurrency Management System.
(D)
Physical Character of the Site. The site shall be suitable for development in the manner proposed without hazards to persons or property, on or off the tract, from probability of flooding, erosion, or other dangers, annoyances, or inconveniences. Condition of soil, ground water level, drainage, and topography shall be appropriate to both kind and pattern of use intended.
(E)
Consistency with the City Comprehensive Plan. To be eligible for consideration, a PUD rezoning proposal must be found to be consistent with all applicable elements of the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan with respect to both its proposed internal design and its relationship to adjacent areas and the City as a whole.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99; Ord. No. 23-53, § 2, 11-27-23)
In order to permit maximum flexibility in the design of a proposed planned unit development, no specific permitted uses are established. Uses permitted within a PUD district shall be only those residential, cultural, recreational, business, commercial, industrial, and related uses as are deemed by the City Council to be fully compatible with each other, with the context of the proposed development as a whole, and with the zoning and land use patterns of surrounding areas. The type, general location, and extent of all proposed uses shall be clearly designated as part of the conceptual development plan, and approval of those uses or types of uses as part of a rezoning amendment shall constitute the permitted land use requirements of a particular PUD district to the same extent and degree as were those permitted uses specifically included within these regulations. Any proposed change of approved land usage, other than necessary minor refinements in size, configuration, or location as may be required in the preparation of the detailed development plans, shall require a new hearing and approval action in accordance with the administrative review and approval procedures herein established. Accessory uses normally associated with the uses permitted as part of the approval action upon a specific PUD proposal shall be permitted at those locations and in an intensity as normally provided for that development within other zoning districts of the city, unless accessory uses are expressly prohibited within the approval action or are otherwise regulated by that action.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99)
(A)
Residential Density. The number and type of residential dwelling units to be permitted within a PUD district or within specific portions of a PUD district shall be as determined by the City Council and stipulated within the approval action. Maximum gross residential density of a PUD district shall be determined by the densities set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
(B)
Access. Every dwelling unit or other use permitted within a PUD district shall have access to a public or private street (of the type required for the PUD under subsection 158.172(B)) either directly or via an approved private road, pedestrian way, court, or other area dedicated to public or private use, or common element guaranteeing access.
(C)
Internal Lots and Frontage.
(1)
No minimum lot sizes or minimum yards are established for a PUD district under these regulations. However, the applicable minimum lot size and yard size requirements of conventional zoning districts shall be utilized wherever proposed PUD development is essentially equivalent to that development permitted under conventional zoning district classifications. In addition, wherever land within a PUD district has frontage upon preexisting public roads, the front yard requirement of the conventional zoning district most applicable to the use or uses proposed for that land shall apply; and wherever yards within a PUD district abut a conventional zoning district, those yards shall comply with the yard requirements of the conventional zoning district. Where appropriate, the City Council may stipulate minimum lot sizes and minimum yard requirements as part of the approval action.
(2)
Land area which would normally be required for residential lots, but which is not so used under the permitted lot size reduction provisions of this section of the chapter, shall be devoted instead to common open space for the enjoyment and use by residents of the development and shall be preserved into perpetuity as open space.
(D)
Minimum Living Area. The minimum living area requirements shall be as stipulated within the approval action.
(E)
Maximum Building Height. The maximum height of all residential structures not within a PUD, shall be thirty-five (35) feet. Within a PUD, greater than five (5) acres, the maximum height permitted is seventy-five (75) feet. Any structure greater than thirty-five (35) feet in height shall be required to maintain a setback from the property line of such PUD of one hundred (100) percent of the building height, except for PUDs located within the Port St. Lucie Community Redevelopment Area. The maximum height for commercial, office, and institutional uses within a PUD located in the Port St. Lucie Community Redevelopment Area may be one hundred twenty (120) feet or ten (10) stories, whichever is less. All such height requests are contingent upon the approval of a master plan and elevation drawings, which illustrate that the proposed height is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The applicant is required to provide adequate information to support the compatibility of the proposed taller structures with the surrounding land uses.
(F)
Provision for Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation.
(1)
The street and roadway pattern within a PUD shall be designed so as to take advantage of existing natural features and shall provide for a logical and orderly movement of vehicular traffic throughout the development. Provisions shall be made for the reservation or dedication of all rights-of-way needed for the improvement of existing streets or the construction of new streets indicated within the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The internal street system shall be properly coordinated with all existing streets and roadways at the project's boundaries, and all streets shall be designed in accordance with City standards and requirements including section 156.098 which limits cul-de-sac lengths to a maximum of one thousand (1,000) feet.
(2)
Reductions of right-of-way widths below those normally required may be granted in specific cases where the City Council finds lesser widths are appropriate due to the unique design of the PUD.
(3)
Provision shall be made within a PUD for the separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and a system of sidewalks or pedestrian ways shall be incorporated into the PUD design for the exclusive use of pedestrians.
(G)
Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading Requirements. Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided as set forth within section 158.221. Modified parking and loading facilities may be approved for a PUD provided that they fulfill the purpose and intent of section 158.221. A professional parking analysis justifying such modifications must be submitted with any application or amendment to a PUD requesting such modifications.
(H)
Provision for Public Facilities and Services. Provision shall be made within a PUD district for all public facilities and services deemed essential by the City Council for location and establishment within that district. Required sites for facilities and services shall be of such sizes, proportions, and location so as to effectively serve their intended purposes in a manner beneficial to future residents of the development and to the City as a whole. These sites shall be dedicated to the City or other applicable public body at no cost.
(I)
Underground Utilities. Within a PUD, all utilities, including telephone, television cable, and electrical systems shall be installed underground. Appurtenances to these systems which require above-ground installation shall be effectively screened and, thereby, may be exempted from this requirement. Primary facilities providing services to the site of the PUD may be exempted.
(J)
Protection of Natural Features. Provision shall be made within the design of a PUD for the protection and conservation of significant natural features within or adjacent to the site. Where any alteration of those features is required as part of the development proposed within the PUD district, the developer shall replace the altered features with natural features or areas acceptable to the City.
(K)
Landscaping and Buffering. Landscaping and buffering requirements are subject to Chapter 154. An alternative landscape plan may be approved for a PUD provided that it fulfills the purpose and intent of Chapter 154. Wherever essential to ensure compatibility, land use areas within a PUD shall be suitably screened from each other and from adjacent development or roadways outside the PUD by appropriate buffering materials. Buffering shall be provided by use of natural vegetation, landscaping berms, or decorative wood or masonry walls.
(L)
Commercial and Industrial Development. In general, commercial or industrial uses within a PUD district shall be only those deemed essential to serve the needs of the PUD residents and not the general needs of the surrounding area. However, where it is found by the City that the lands within a proposed PUD district are appropriately located and of proper size and configuration so as to serve an existing or future need or commercial or industrial development of the larger community, provision for the development may be included within that proposed PUD district. No commercial or industrial uses shall be approved as part of a PUD unless the location, site size, and proposed intensity of those uses are found to be consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
(Ord. No. 98-84, § 1, 3-22-99; Ord. No. 02-92, § 1, 11-25-02; Ord. No. 05-27, § 1, 3-14-05; Ord. No. 15-85, § 1, 12-7-15; Ord. No. 19-66, § 2, 10-14-19)
