   Planned Development Districts may permit a mixture of different types of housing with compatible commercial uses, shopping centers, office parks and other mixed used developments. Flexibility in design, character and quality of development and preservation of natural and scenic features are made possible through the approval of a plan which describes the specific uses, densities, setbacks, and other requirements for a planned development. The approved plan constitutes the district regulations for a particular planned development.
