The planned development process is intended to facilitate development of properties where greater flexibility in design is desired to provide a more efficient use of land than would be possible through strict application of land use district regulations. This process is also intended to serve as an alternative site planning process that encourages the more creative and imaginative planning, consistent with the density and intensity of uses allowed by the general plan, within the framework of a single cohesive development plan.
