The PUD District is intended to provide for the development or redevelopment of land under the control and in accordance with an approved Master Plan. The development guidelines and standards in which land uses, transportation facilities, building densities, arrangements, and types are set out in a unified Master Plan in order to provide greater flexibility of land use, development densities, and building locations than other zoning districts may allow.
The PUD District is intended to maximize benefits from the use of open spaces, preserve natural areas and existing tree cover, protect steep slopes, maximize aesthetics, encourage certain architectural standards for buildings, and permit mixed uses and diversity of bulk regulations without endangering the general health, safety, welfare, and land value of surrounding and internal properties. A PUD may consist of a single use or a mix of residential, commercial, and limited industrial uses, provided such PUD is compatible with the Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan of the City. It is not the intent of the PUD District to be utilized to reduce or provide relief from an existing zoning regulation or requirement. (Ord. 19-08, 7-1-2019)
