(A) Each P-C zone overlay shall establish land uses and development patterns, densities, and standards unique to the development's adopted ordinance. Upon approval, through the process set forth in this chapter, the established land uses and development patterns, densities, and standards shall be established pursuant to the P-C zone overlay plan, a narrative describing the proposed development patterns, zoning entitlements, densities, design criteria, and other stipulated design requirements, and one or more development agreements. The P-C zone overlay may consist of any number or combination of land use styles defined below. Each style proposed shall be identified in the applicant's community structure plan. The following general land use styles shall be incorporated into the narrative.
(1) Rural. This style of development is specifically for very low to low density development within the rural areas of the county. Total density would be equal to or less than one dwelling per gross acre to provide clustering opportunities to maximize open space preservation, reduce overall infrastructure requirements and impacts to the land. This land development style shall refer only to lots that are one acre or greater in size.
(2) Neighborhood. This category is designed for comparatively low density residential or mixed-use development that provides for single-family residential development, with opportunities for neighborhood commercial type uses at major street intersections. Neighborhood residential densities are to range between one and four dwelling units per gross acre. Zoning districts that are limited to this style include R1-20, R1-12, R1-8, and NC.
(3) Village. This category is designed for medium density mixed use development that includes residential (single- and multi-family) and commercial uses. Village residential densities are to range between four and 15 units per gross acre. Zoning districts are limited to RM-7 and RM-15, as well as CB, NC, CS, CH, and GC.
(4) Central Business District. This category is for higher density mixed use projects that emphasizes residential, commercial, and recreational uses. Zoning districts are limited to RM-7, RM-15, and all commercial districts.
(5) Business and research park. This category is to be a mixture of business uses: office, commercial, and industrial. If this type of development is to be a portion of the overall planned community zone overlay then planned residential areas of the development and other business park or industrial type uses shall require a buffer zone of open space, multi-family, or commercial development. Specifically, open space, commercial, and multi-family development patterns shall be required between surrounding single-family or low-density development and the business park area.
(6) Open space. Landscaped natural area or farmland that is established to provide and preserve outdoor recreational, agricultural, trails, parks, and other amenities. Open space is a required component of all P-C zoned properties as it will be used to offset the additional density that otherwise would not be allowed through conventional zoning classifications.
(B) Areas denoted as open space as part of clustering shall be preserved and shown on the zoning map as an indication that no further development potential shall be derived from these areas of the development.
