(a)

The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District is to provide for a larger scale project type development which, when viewed in entirety, may involve multiple districts and have an interrelationship of uses within those districts. This development may be of a recreational, residential, or commercial nature or a combination of such. This district is intended to provide for such development in an orderly manner and avoid the confusion of potentially numerous zoning changes.

(b)

This district shall have no definite boundaries until such are approved by the county board by order of zoning change to the PUD district. Plans for the proposed development shall be submitted in triplicate and shall show the location, size, and proposed use of all structures and land included in the areas involved.

(Code 2000, § 38-450; Ord. of 3-19-2002, Art. XIV, § 140)

The uses within the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District shall be determined by the plan as approved by the county board and shall conform to the requirements of the related district involved insofar as practicable. The specific uses within any particular PUD district shall be formulated by the zoning committee and the respective developer prior to the county board action.

(Code 2000, § 38-451; Ord. of 3-19-2002, Art. XIV, § 141)

In considering an application for a change to the PUD district, the zoning committee shall consider the following factors in evaluating the effect of such a change and development:

(1)

The location, nature, and size of the proposed area.

(2)

The size of the site in relation to the proposed use.

(3)

Existing topographic and drainage features, and vegetative cover.

(4)

The maintenance of safe and healthful conditions and control of pollution.

(5)

The location of the site with respect to the existing roads and other facilities and the impact upon such.

(6)

Its compatibility with the existing uses on land adjacent thereto.

(7)

Its compatibility with the immediate and surrounding environment and the possibility for reclamation, if needed.

(8)

Its impact upon and harmony with the future environment and the future development of the area.

(9)

Its relationship to the public interest, the purpose and intent of this article, and substantial justice to all parties concerned.
