(a) Purpose. The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to provide a means of development that is flexible and innovative when development of a site by standard, more rigid, conventional zoning district regulations may produce less efficient use of the land and less amenities and benefits for the community and users of the development. Development under planned unit development provisions provides a means of encouraging ingenuity, imagination and flexibility on the part of land owner, engineers, architects, site planners and developers in the planning and design of land areas. It is not the intent of the planned unit development provisions to allow applicants to circumvent the intent of this Zoning Code or to allow development of land not in conformance with the Land Use Plan.
(b) Description. The Planned Unit Development may be residential, commercial, or industrial developments or a combination commercial/industrial uses. Each district shall have at a minimum the following net acreage: residential - 2 acres, commercial - 5 acres, industrial - 25 acres, and a combination commercial/industrial - 30 acres. The Planning Commission shall review and find that the combination of uses meets the standards set forth in Section 1113.01.
(c) Zoning Applications Procedure. The Planned Unit Development shall be submitted to the Administrator and processed pursuant to subsection (c) hereof. The applicant shall submit a "Request for P.U.D. Designation" application with five copies of the development plan. The application shall include the following:

The expense for this information is the responsibility of the applicant.
(e) Public Hearing Process. Upon the submittal of a complete application and plans as determined by the Planning Commission for a Planned Unit Development, a public hearing shall be called and a thirty day notice shall be given. All adjoining property owners shall be notified by mail as to the public hearing date.
