§ 5-4-65 PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

5-4-65-1 Intent.

      A Planned Development District is a tract of land exceeding five (5) acres in size which is to be developed as an integral unit and which is under a single ownership of an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, or associated ownership. The planned development is undertaken in a single development operation or in a definitely programmed series of development operations according to an approved development plan and a preliminary site plan. The intent of the Planned Development District is to derive the benefits of efficiency, economy, and design flexibility by encouraging unified development of large sites, while allowing creative site design, improved appearance, compatibility of uses, and community facilities and open space.

5-4-65-2 Pre-Application Conference.

      Prior to submission of an application for a PD District, the developer is encouraged to request a pre-application conference with the Code Enforcement Director to obtain information and guidance prior to entering binding commitments or incurring substantial expense in the preparation of plans and surveys.

5-4-65-3 Uses Permitted.

      The PD District is intended to accommodate primarily residential with non-residential uses integrated into the design as secondary uses. Within the PD District, all uses allowed in the R-12, R-7, and B-4 Districts are allowed, subject to approval of the site plan. A mix of uses is allowed based on the concept that the site size allows for unified design including functional relationships, buffer treatments separating uses with potentially incompatible characteristics of use, design of access patterns, and relationships of uses within the PD District with uses in adjacent districts. It is the intent that such design features be incorporated properly into the PD District plan, and that the Planning Commission and City Council shall consider the existence and appropriateness of the design features before any amendment to the Zoning Map is adopted to create a PD District.
