(a) The intent of the PD regulations is to provide a means for applying comprehensive and flexible planning and design techniques on properties substantially sized to accommodate such a plan. As such, the minimum size of any PD project or plan shall be twenty (20) acres. PD proposals should not be applied to small areas as a means of bypassing traditional district regulations.
(b) An application for a PD of less than twenty (20) acres may be authorized by the MPC if the MPC finds that the PD will:
(1) Contain a residential density that exceeds eight (8) units per acre;
(2) Contain a mixture of land uses where a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the project area will contain nonresidential uses; or
(3) Contain a mixture of uses and will be located adjacent to the CB District or within 1,000 feet of the CB District, as measured along a legal walking route.
(c) Any PD approved and constructed prior to the effective date of this amendment shall carry forward with the approved plans. All future construction or changes in previously approved PDs shall comply with the applicable approved plan unless a modification is required, in which case, the modification shall be reviewed in accordance with this chapter.
