(a) It is the intent of this chapter to accommodate creative and imaginative planned unit developments (hereinafter referred to as PUDs) and to permit those innovations in land development that are in the best interest of the City of Springboro, in situations where conventional zoning is inappropriate or unduly restrictive. In order to accomplish this intent, it is the purpose of a PUD District to permit, in a carefully-designed development, a variety of uses and/or dwelling types, and to permit the flexible spacing of lots and buildings, the conservation of natural features of the landscape, the provision of accessible and enjoyable open spaces, and the provision of a necessary complement of community and neighborhood facilities.
(b) The Planning Commission shall hear and determine all variances and appeals from orders, requirements, decisions or determinations, made by the administrative department or administrative employees charged with the enforcement and application of the zoning ordinances with respect to all matters in a Planned Unit Development established under Chapter 1266 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Springboro.
