(A) Minimum area requirements. The minimum area required for PUD zoning shall be a gross land area of three acres, provided, however, that no commercial or industrial uses shall be permitted in a PUD containing a gross land area of less than five acres.
(B) Location of PUD districts. The PUD District may be applicable to any area where the applicant can demonstrate that the proposal will meet the objectives of this subchapter.
(C) Intensity of land use.
(1) Because land is used more efficiently in a PUD, improved environmental quality can often be produced with a greater number of structures per gross acre than is usually permitted in a traditionally zoned district. The Commission shall determine in each case the appropriate land use and density for individual projects or sections thereof.
(2) However, the following guidelines shall be adhered to: The maximum residential density for the overall project shall be five units per acre, computed by comparing the total number of dwelling units to the gross land area of the project.
