The planned unit development, herein referred to as PUD, is a special zoning district category that provides an alternate approach to conventional land use controls. As a type of development and as a regulatory process, the planned unit development is subject to special review procedures, and once approved it becomes a zoning classification for the property it represents. The PUD designation may be applied to any one or more conventional districts, except the A and P districts. (Ord. 5916, 8-9-1999)
