The intent of the Planned Unit Development District, PUD, is to permit flexibility in the regulations for
which either includes a mix of
uses or is proposed for a site containing unique
which the developer and City desire to preserve. The standards of this section are intended to encourage innovative design and create opportunities which
not be obtainable through the conventional standards of other articles of this Zoning Ordinance.
The PUD standards are not intended to be used as a technique to circumvent the intent of the Zoning Ordinance, to avoid imposition of specific Zoning Ordinance standards, or the planning upon which it is based, unless there is a clear public benefit consistent with the overall intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Thus, the provisions of this section are designed to promote
substantially consistent with the character of the surrounding area and the City’s
, with modifications and departures from generally applicable requirements made to provide the developer with flexibility in design on the basis of the total PUD plan approved by the City.
