(A) It is recognized that this subchapter is structured to regulate land use and development patterns of a conventional or traditional nature; however, there are situations where innovative proposals for use of land may be submitted which do not relate to ordinance controls and would have to be rejected even though feasible and beneficial to the community. It is to accommodate the innovative proposals, even those that may “mix” land uses within a development, exceed stipulated residential densities or depart from traditional lot sizes, that the PUD District is established. The technology of land development is constantly changing, and creative, but practical approaches to the use of land should be encouraged. The provisions of this subchapter are intended to do so in a manner which is in the best interests of both the developer and the community.
(B) The PUD District when finally established under the provision of this subchapter shall be applied to and superimposed upon the underlying zoning districts established in §§ 153.055 through 153.062 of this chapter as the same now exist or are amended in the future. It being the intent of the Council that no provision or regulation of the underlying zoning district may be varied, modified or set aside unless specifically allowed in the accepted PUD District final development plan.
