The use of the Planned Unit Development procedures contained in this Chapter are not mandatory for the development of any parcel of land. The intent and purpose of this process is to administratively encourage an alternative procedure, which maximizes the utilization of land primarily for the benefit, use and enjoyment of the businesses and residents of that area, as well as the existing community.
Proposals for development shall be developed under PUD district provisions when the Director determines the development proposal exhibits one or more of the following listed characteristics or a characteristic of similar magnitude or nature.
(a) The total gross area of the proposed development is ten acres or more in size, except:
(1) Detached single-family developments of less than 100 lots submitted for development under R-1, R-2 and R-3 zoning district requirements;
(2) Multi-family developments submitted under R-4 zoning district requirements;
(3) Developments proposed for A-1 zoned property and all of the uses proposed for the development are permitted by A-1 zoning; or
(4) Expansions of existing business and industrial developments with the appropriate zoning designation.
(b) The proposed development involves uses permitted by standard zoning districts in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1101 through 1159 of this code, and such uses are permitted by one or more PUD Districts, and without PUD District Zoning classification the development would normally require the approval of more than one standard zoning district.
