A. Any applicant requesting approval of a PUD shall schedule a presubmittal meeting with the City Planner, or his/her designee.
B. The procedure for establishing a PUD shall follow the procedure for zoning district changes as set forth in section 9-6-3 of this title.
C. Each PUD written commitment document shall be signed and notarized by the property owner(s) and shall include the following:

2. A statement as to the purpose and intent of the PUD.
3. A list of the PUD development requirements that vary from the standard development requirements of the underlying zoning district.
4. An expected development schedule. If no development has occurred on the PUD subject parcel within the time identified, the planning and zoning commission and city council may review the original PUD development requirements and conceptual development plan to ensure their continued validity.

D. The city council shall not adopt an ordinance rezoning the subject parcel until the property owner/developer has submitted a complete and signed PUD written commitment document. The signed PUD written commitment document shall be attached as an exhibit to the rezoning ordinance and recorded in the office of the county recorder.
E. Approval of a PUD shall be based on the following standards:
1. The proposed uses shall not be detrimental to any surrounding uses; nor shall they be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
2. Any variation from the underlying zoning district development requirements must be warranted by the design and amenities incorporated in the conceptual development plan.
3. The underlying zoning district and the conceptual development plan shall conform to the comprehensive plan.
4. Existing and/or proposed streets and utility services must be suitable and adequate for the proposed development. (Ord. 1702, 11-23-2020)
