1171.02 TYPES OF PUD DISTRICTS.

   The City of Defiance may approve the four following types of PUDs.

   (a)   Residential PUDs. Residential PUDs are intended to encourage high-quality, single-family and multi-family residential development. The intent of residential PUDs is to encourage developments that maximize open space and cluster housing in ways that provide unique living environments.

   (b)   Commercial PUDs. Commercial PUDs permit the development of shopping centers and similar commercial uses with shared access points, parking and internal circulation systems. The intent is to allow the arrangement of structures in a manner that maximizes property development without creating a linear strip development resulting in congestion and an unsightly appearance.

   (c)   Industrial PUDs. Industrial PUDs permit the development of industrial parks and similar uses with coordinated circulation, parking and site amenities. These projects allow applicants to maximize property development by providing efficient areas for industrial tenants and for amenities that make the areas compatible with the surrounding community.

   (d)   Mixed-Use PUDs. Mixed-use PUDs permit unique projects with a wider range of uses, coordinated to enhance the total project. These developments provide special focal points in the community and encourage the development of special amenities in the community.
