4.7.   Planned Development Districts (PUD, PRD, TND, MXD).
See Section 1.10.4, relating to the transition of these districts to Conditional Zoning Districts. The remainder of this section is kept for reference.
   There shall be a Planned District which shall consist of any of the following types: (PUD), (PRD), Traditional Neighborhood (TND), or Mixed District (MXD). Each district is a floating district and additional standards are located in Article 6.
   A.    (PUD) purpose and intent. The PUD district is intended to provide for a mix of , including commercial and residential . PUD provisions are intended to encourage creativity in the design and planning of parcels by allowing greater design flexibility than the underlying base districts to protect natural features and concentrate in more suitable or less environmentally sensitive areas. The end result is creativity in design, additional open space and an appropriate mix of . PUD is permissible on tracts of land of five acres or greater.
   B.    (PRD) purpose and intent. The PRD district is intended to provide for master-planned residential communities containing a mix of housing types, including associated amenities. This district is primarily intended for large-scale residential that require either additional flexibility not available in the base residential districts, or greater scrutiny by the Town due to their scale. PRD is permissible on tracts of land of 15 acres or greater.
   C.   Traditional Neighborhood (TND) purpose and intent. TND is a option allowing new standards for focused on mixed residential with a pedestrian orientation, and a centralized commercial or mixed node serving as the focal point for the . TND must also incorporate a network of open space, a network of internal , and connections to the surrounding area. TND is permissible on tracts of land of 40 acres or greater.
   D.   Mixed District (MXD) purpose and intent. Mixed Districts are intended to produce higher levels of urban land intensity at or near community focus nodes or regional focus nodes, consistent with the Town's long-range land plan map. MXD zoning districts permit various combinations of usually separated , primarily promoting the of business parks. It is not intended to be applied in a limited way to only inner city or to mixed within one (high-rise), but rather, may be used to support either infill or new on relatively large tracts. MXD is permissible on tracts of land of 75 acres or greater.
   E.   Rezoning criteria for all Planned (PUD, PRD, TND, MXD). In approving a rezoning for a Planned , the Town Council shall find the district designation and Planned master plan comply with the general standards for all Planned in this paragraph and the specific standards for the proposed Planned listed in Article 6 .
      1.   Planned master plan. The proposed in the master plan is compatible with the character of surrounding land and maintains and enhances the value of surrounding properties. The master plan also illustrates:

         b.   A network of open space serving the entire and providing internal connections within the ;
         c.   Perimeter landscape areas to connect or land both inside and outside the perimeter of the Planned ; and
         d.   Preservation of the natural environment.
      2.   Design guidelines and dimensional standards. Each Planned shall provide a comprehensive set of design guidelines that demonstrate the will be appropriate within the context of the surrounding properties and the larger community. The dimensional standards identified in Article 6 may be varied in the proposed in the master plan. The Town Council is not obligated to accept or approve any variation if it deems such variation to be inappropriate. Where such standards vary by more than 20 percent from the otherwise applicable numeric standard, a specific finding in the approval as to the acceptability of such a variation shall be required.
      3.   Off- parking and loading. Off- parking and loading shall comply with Article 7, except that variations from these standards may be permitted if a comprehensive parking and loading plan for the Planned is submitted, and determined to be suitable and generally consistent with the intent and purpose of the off- parking and loading regulations.
      4.   . shall comply with Article 7, except that within the Planned may be constructed to alternate, but equivalent standards if a comprehensive plan for the Planned is submitted with the rezoning and master plan applications that is determined to be suitable for the Planned and generally consistent with the intent and purpose of the regulations.
      5.   Public facilities.
         a.   The Planned master plan shall demonstrate a safe and adequate on-site transportation circulation system. The on-site transportation circulation system shall be integrated with the off-site transportation circulation system of the Town.
         b.   The Planned master plan shall establish public places that connect .
         c.   The Planned master plan shall demonstrate a safe and adequate on-site system of potable water and wastewater service that can accommodate the proposed , and is efficiently integrated into off-site potable water and wastewater public improvement plans.

         e.   The improvement standards applicable to the public facilities that will serve the site shall comply with the provisions of Article 8, design/improvements. However, the may deviate from the city's width standards in order to achieve greater efficiency of infrastructure design.
      6.   Common recreation and open space. The proposed in the Planned master plan complies with the following common recreation and open space standards:
         a.   Water bodies, lands within wildlife habitat areas, riparian ecosystems and 100-year that are preserved as open space may be counted toward this minimum standard, even when they are not usable by or accessible to the residents of the Planned . A maximum of 50 percent of the required open space in a Planned may be comprised of water bodies. No water bodies may be counted towards the requirements for common recreation area.
         b.   All common open space and recreational facilities shall be shown in the master plan and shall be constructed and fully improved according to the schedule established for each phase of the Planned .
         c.   All privately-owned common open space shall continue to conform to its intended , as specified in the Planned master plan. To ensure that all the common open space identified in the master plan will be used as common open space, restrictions or covenants shall be placed in each deed to ensure their maintenance and to prohibit the partition of any common open space.
         d.   If common open space is proposed to be maintained through an association or nonprofit corporation, such organization shall manage all common open space and recreational facilities that are not dedicated to the public, and shall provide for the maintenance, administration and operation of such land and any other land within the Planned not publicly owned, and secure adequate liability insurance on the land.
