§ 154.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
   The purpose of the PUD, Planned Unit Development District, is to provide comprehensive procedures and standards intended to allow flexibility in the development of residential neighborhoods and/or nonresidential areas that would not be possible under a conventional zoning district. The decision to zone property to a PUD is a public policy decision for the City Council to make in its legislative capacity. The intent of this chapter is to:
   (A)   Provide for the establishment of PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a development pattern that complies with the Comprehensive Plan;
   (B)   Allow for the mixing of land uses within a development when such mixing of land uses could not otherwise be accomplished under this title;
   (C)   Provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in this title in order to improve site design and operation, while at the same time incorporating design elements (for example, construction materials, landscaping, lighting, and the like) that exceed the city's standards to offset the effect of any variations;
   (D)   Promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the city, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and general welfare of the city;
   (E)   Preserve and enhance natural features and open spaces;
   (F)   Maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities; and
   (G)   Ensure the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses.

§ 154.02 APPLICATION TO CERTAIN PROPERTIES.
   PUD Districts shall be applied to property only in conjunction with projects which fulfill the purpose of such application. PUD zoning designations shall not be applied to property in advance of specific development applications.

§ 154.03 ALLOWED USES.
   All permitted uses, permitted accessory uses, conditional uses, interim uses, and uses allowed by administrative permit contained in the various base zoning districts defined in § 153.040 shall be treated as potential allowable uses within a PUD District, provided they would be allowed on the site under the Comprehensive Plan.
(Ord. 2018-290, passed 11-29-2018)
§ 154.04 LOT, SETBACK, AND BUILDING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS.
   The various lot area, lot width, setback, and building height regulations of the most closely related conventional zoning district shall be considered presumptively appropriate but may be departed from to accomplish the purpose and intent of this chapter.
