A. Purpose
The Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) district is established and intended to encourage the use of innovative and creative design to provide a mix of different residential uses in close proximity to one another, as well as community residences and recovery communities, while at the same time providing an efficient use of open space. Limited, small-scale institutional and commercial uses (e.g., child care facilities, elementary schools, recreational/entertainment uses, dry cleaning or laundry drop-off establishments, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores) may be allowed in the RPUD district, when of a type and scale that primarily serves the needs of residents in the development. RPUD districts are appropriate in areas designated on the comprehensive plan's future land use map as Residential.
