PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
(a) It is the intent of this district to provide flexibility from conventional zoning regulations with increased public review for PD planned development district projects in order to:
(1) Encourage well-planned, efficient development;
(2) Allow a planned and coordinated mix of land uses which are compatible and are harmonious, but previously discouraged by conventional zoning procedures;
(3) Encourage the redevelopment of contiguous large lot parcels into an integrated and orderly subdivision pattern, with particular attention to developing an efficient and coordinated network of internal streets;
(4) Promote the clustering of residential structures and other uses without increasing overall density of the development area in order to preserve unique and natural features such as woodlands, wetlands, natural drainage systems and scenic areas;
(5) Protect sensitive areas and areas with restrictive soil conditions within development areas through clustering of uses on land more suited for building;
(6) Reserve adequate public right-of-way within development areas for the eventual extension of arterial and collector streets, including proper width and spacing of the streets;
(7) Improve communication and cooperation among the county, townships, land developers and interested residents in the development of agricultural land and redevelopment of existing areas; and
(8) Development shall coincide with completion of proper municipal and utility improvements.
(b) It is not the intent of the PD planned development district to accommodate or encourage the development of isolated small tracts where adjoining parcels are not considered within an overall development scheme.
(1992 Code, App. F, § 13.01) (Ord. 10-06, passed 1-23-2006)
(a) Initial development plan.
(1) When a petitioner wants to request a rezoning to the planned development district, it shall be submitted to the Lincoln County planning department, showing the information specified in § 158.237, a minimum of 30 days prior to the joint meeting of the county and city planning commissions at which consideration is desired. After the planned development request has been reviewed, the planning commissions shall make a recommendation to the board of county commissioners and city council on the requested rezoning. The board of county commissioners and city council shall then act to approve or deny the request.
(b) Final development plan.
(1) Prior to construction on any lots in the planned development, the petitioner shall present a final development plan showing the information specified in § 158.238, to the planning commissions, who shall have the sole authority to approve, deny or amend the plan.
(2) The final development plan may be submitted in conjunction with the initial development plan for concurrent approval on any subareas the developer is ready to commit to a final plan. All the information required for both an initial and final development plan must be shown for the area submitted for concurrent approval, except that the developer may reference the requirements of one of the traditional zoning districts as the development standard for a particular subarea.
(c) Amendments.
(1) Major amendments. Major amendments to the initial and/or final development plan shall be required to be approved as an amendment to the zoning regulations, requiring the planning commissions’ review and board of county commissioners and city council approval.
(2) Minor amendments.
A. Minor amendments to the initial and/or final development plan shall be required to be approved by the planning commissions at a hearing. Notice of the hearing shall be given by the posting of a sign on the property.
B. Minor amendments to the initial development plan may also be made by the submission and approval of a final development plan which is changed from the approved initial development plan. Any amendments shall be shown as a change from the initial development plan on the final development plan, and further these changes shall be made on the initial development plan.
(3) Minimal amendments. Minimal amendments to the final development plan shall be submitted to the planning director on a reproducible development plan showing the requested changes. The planning director may then approve the change in writing, if he or she deems it appropriate.
(1992 Code, App. F, § 13.02) (Ord. 10-06, passed 1-23-2006)
Upon application for rezoning to the planned development district, the petitioner shall present an initial development plan to the planning commissions for review, and to board of county commissioners and city council for their approval showing the following information:

(b) A preliminary subdivision plan; and
(c) The proposed development scheme showing the following information:
(1) The proposed land uses, including the number and type of proposed residential buildings, the proposed number of dwelling units per building, the number and type of any proposed nonresidential buildings and their square footage;
(2) The proposed maximum density of the development, which shall not exceed the density allowed in the traditional zoning districts for similar uses, except where unique physical, environmental or design characteristics make those densities undesirable;
(3) The proposed minimum setbacks which shall be no less than those required in the traditional zoning districts for similar uses, except where unique physical, environmental or design characteristics make the setbacks undesirable;
(4) The proposed maximum height which shall be no greater than that required in the traditional zoning districts for similar uses, except where unique physical, environmental or design characteristics make the heights undesirable;
(5) Proposed design features illustrating compatibility to the surrounding environment and neighborhood; and
