Spring Lake Park City Zoning Code

16.44 PLANNED

UNIT DEVELOPMENTS

Purpose. The purpose of the planned unit development (PUD) zoning district is to provide a district that grants flexibility from certain subdivision and zoning regulations in order to realize public benefits that may not otherwise be achieved through non-PUD development.
Applicability. PUD zoning within any district may be considered by the Planning Commission and the City Council when it would result in one of the following public benefits:
1. Flexibility in land development to benefit from new technology in building design and construction and land development;
2. Variety in the organization of site elements, building densities, land use and housing types;
3. Higher standards of site and building design through the use of trained and experienced land planners, registered architects, or landscape architects to prepare plans for all planned unit developments;
4. Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural resources and open space;
5. More efficient and effective use of land, open space, and public facilities; and
6. Other public benefits as recognized by the city.

Within a planned unit development (P.U.D.), no land or buildings shall be used except for one or more of the following uses:

The uses listed as permitted or conditional uses in the district(s) in which the development is proposed;
Educational, religious, cultural, recreational, or commercial facilities that are designed and intended to serve the residents of the planned unit development. The burden of proof shall rest upon the applicant to show that these non-residential uses, when located in a residence district, are designed and intended for the primary use of the residents in the P.U.D., provided further that no such commercial uses shall be constructed until 75% of the total dwelling units contained in the entire project are completed. Completed shall mean qualifying for a certificate of occupancy.
Use(s) normally more appropriate in other zoning districts shall not occupy more than 15% of the land area within the district(s) in which the development is proposed.
