AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN (ADP): A plan that identifies infrastructure, planning units, major street patterns, stormwater drainage and detention, public and private utilities, shared public spaces, vehicular traffic impacts, proposed density, and land use assumptions for geographically designated areas within the Town Center Overlay District. The ADP establishes development parcels that may be under one or several specific plans. The intent is to encourage cohesive, unified development and identify the phasing of construction by creating partnerships with the adjacent property owners and developers.
MIXED USE: A single building containing two (2) or more types of land use or a single development of more than one building and use where the different types of land uses are in close proximity, planned as a unified complementary whole, and functionally integrated to the use of shared vehicular and pedestrian access and parking areas.
OPEN SPACES: Shall include all uncovered areas surrounding buildings except streets, private drives, and parking areas.
OVERLAY DISTRICT: Districts which are placed over base zoning districts to modify the development standards and to achieve a specific purpose for that area. The regulations of the underlying zoning district and all other regulations remain in effect; however, if any overlay district's regulations conflict with the underlying zoning regulations the overlay's regulations prevail.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD): Any development in which the proposed land uses, transportation elements, building densities, arrangements and types are set out in a unified plan. A planned unit development may consist of mixed residential, commercial, office, and public land uses or a single use development.
PLANNING UNITS: Parcels of land uses, such as mixed use or single-family that are determined during the review of the area development plan and further defined during the review of the specific plan.
SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT (SP): An alternate type of planned unit development which applies to development within the Town Center Overlay District. The SP is an ordinance that is produced through a creative design process which outlines detailed development criteria such as density, architectural building details, usable open space, traffic and streetscape details for each planning unit as identified in the area development plan.
USABLE OPEN SPACE: Areas which serve the need for leisure, recreation, and pedestrian interaction. Spaces may include, but are not limited to, plaza areas, open lawn areas, trails, open air recreation facilities, outdoor gardens, pedestrian walkways, and waterways. (Ord. 1524, 4-28-2003)
