The decision to rezone land to a PUD Overlay District and to approve the final plan are technically separate decisions. However, to provide for the efficient and timely processing of both the rezoning request and the request for final plan approval, all PUD final plan submissions are deemed to be an application for amendment to the Zoning Code, according to Chapter 1242. All procedures, from Planning Commission review to a public hearing and final approval by Council, shall be followed in considering an application for a rezoning of the land in question to a PUD Overlay District. Upon approval of such application to rezone the property in question to a PUD Overlay District, the Zoning District Map of the City shall be amended to designate the project area as a “PUD” Overlay District. Thereafter, with the concurrent approval of the rezoning and the final plan, all development restrictions and conditions described in the final plan shall become official requirements of the PUD.
