§ 156.105 INTENT OF DISTRICTS.

   (A)   The purpose of this subchapter is to provide greater design flexibility in the development of land when consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the intent of this chapter. The use of Planned Development zoning classifications shall be encouraged when the use of such regulations promotes a harmonious variety of uses which are compatible with the surrounding areas or fosters the creation of an attractive, efficient and stable environment for living, shopping or working.

   (B)   Planned Development regulations are intended to encourage innovations in land development techniques so that the growing demands of the community may be met with greater flexibility and variety in type, design and layout.

   (C)   (1)   Planned Developments are not identified on the zoning map in advance, but rather are the result of a public hearing to rezone a specific parcel or specific parcels to a new PD zone.

      (2)   The provisions of §§ 156.050 through 156.055 and 156.070 through 156.075 of this chapter shall not be applicable to a PD zone or district since the negotiated development plan determines the nature of the PD district.
