PUD District Redraft Rev. 7/9 1. The language in the INTENT section has been simplified and strengthened: FROM THIS: The Planned Unit Development (PUD) District is designed and intended to: encourage creativity and innovation in the design of developments; provide for more efficient use of land; permit special consideration of property with outstanding natural or topographical features; facilitate use of the most appropriate construction techniques in the development of land; and, provide for any individual land use not otherwise specified elsewhere in this Ordinance. The PUD District encourages imaginative uses of open space, promotes high standards in design and construction, and furthers the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. TO THIS: (1) Establish a compatible and efficient mix of land uses and open space; (2) Ensure compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan, surrounding developments and future development needs; (3) Establish a creative approach in building design through architectural compatibility with adjacent buildings, general neighborhood design or by creating a unique style; (4) Achieve flexibility and provide incentives for development that will sustain a wider range of choice in satisfying the changing needs of the community; and (5) Provide for any individual land or a combination of land uses not otherwise specified elsewhere in this Ordinance. ALSO: • The PUD District is not intended for the development of residential subdivisions or uses which are provided for as a matter of right within any district of this Ordinance. • The need for variances shall not be justification for applying for a PUD District, nor shall a PUD be requested in lieu of a Special Exception Use. 2.

There is no set timetable in the current ordinance. 4. Re- structured submittal requirements for the Concept Plan, Preliminary Plan and Secondary Approval. 5.
