The Planned Mixed Use Development Overlay (PMUD) is a voluntary procedure that provides an overlay district that is intended to encourage innovative design, conservation of significant natural features, consolidation of open space, and to provide for a mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial uses with an integrated design. There are two types of PMUD overlays: Business-Residential and Business-Industrial. The zoning classifications allowable within a Business - Residential PMUD include M Multi-Family Residential, O-1 Office, C-1 Local Business, and C-2 General Business. The zoning classifications allowable within a Business - Industrial PMUD include O-1 Office Commercial, C-1 Local Business, C-2 General Business, and I-1 Light Industrial. The PMUD shall not provide for a mixture of residential and industrial uses.
The PMUD allows greater design flexibility so that natural features and open space may be preserved and enhanced through the location and configuration of development while an array of uses may be integrated in a coordinated, efficient and compatible manner. All proposals will be considered on their merits in relation to the following: adherence with Findlay's Comprehensive Land Use Plan; the context of the area in which the PMUD is to be located; the adequacy and availability of public facilities and infrastructure; and the compatibility with the proposal's immediate surroundings. The City Planning Commission may require any reasonable condition or design accommodation to promote proper development in harmony with the community. It is not intended that the City Planning Commission automatically grant the maximum use or density. (Ord. 2017-039. Passed 5-16-17.)
