Planned Unit Development
 
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is provided as a design and planning option, intended to permit flexibility in the regulation of land development; to encourage innovation in land use, form of ownership (such as site condominiums) and variety in design, layout, and type of structures constructed; to preserve significant natural, historical, and architectural features and open space; to promote efficient provision of public services and utilities; to minimize adverse traffic impacts; to provide adequate housing and employment; to encourage development of convenient recreational facilities; and to encourage the use and improvement of existing sites or existing buildings when the uniform regulations contained in other zoning districts alone do not provide adequate protection and safeguards for the site or its surrounding areas or flexibility to consider adaptive re-use of existing structures.

Planned Unit Development is addressed in Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance. 
Planned Unit Development applicants are required to request a pre-application conference with the City's Planning Consultant before applying for PUD Eligibility. This conference will familiarize the applicant with the zoning ordinance requirements for their potential project prior to applying to the Planning Commission.
