SECTION 28-1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE.
(I) IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS ARTICLE TO ENCOURAGE UNIFIED DESIGN
OF RESIDENTIAL HOUSING, COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, PROFESSIONAL, RETAIL, AND INSTITU-
TIONAL AREAS AND FACILITIES, OR COMBINATIONS THEREOF, TO PROVIDE FOR RELATED
10952
JRR /RC /Mc 6/28/72 3RD
DEVELOPMENTS HAVING HARMONY OF DESIGN AND VARIETY OF FUNCTIONS THRUSTING
IN SOME APPRECIABLE DEGREES TOWARD A SELF - SUSTAINING ENCLAVE WITHIN THE
CITY, AND TO PROVIDE FOR A GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN THE DESIGN OF BUILDINGS,
YARDS, COURTS AND CIRCULATION, THAN WOULD OTHERWISE BE POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE APPLICATION OF EXISTING RULES AND RCGULATIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE AND
THE PLATTING ORDINANCE. IT IS FURTHER THE INTENT OF THIS ARTICLE TO PROVIDE
FOR:
(A) A MAXIMUM CHOICE IN THE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENT AND
LIVING UNITS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
(B) AN INTEGRATION OF OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION AREAS
..W.LTH RES I DENT.I,AL .DEVELOPMENT.
(C) A PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT WHICH PRESERVES TREES,
OUTSTANDING NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGIC
FEATURES.
(D) A CREATIVE APPROACH TO THE USE OF LAND AND RELATED
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT.
(E) AN EFFICIENT USE OF LAND RESULTING IN SMALLER NET-
WORKS OF UTILITIES AND STREETS AND THEREBY LOWER
HOUSING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS, WITHOUT MATERIAL,
ADVERSE IMPACT ON PUBLIC COSTS.
(F) AN ENVIRONMENT OF STABLE CHARACTER IN HARMONY WITH
SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT.
(G) THE DEVELOPMENT OF VACANT PROPERTY WITHIN THE PRE-
SENTLY DEVELOPED URBAN AREA.
(H) THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY WHERE DESIRABLE BY
PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY IN REDESIGN.
(I) THE PRODUCTION OF A HIGHER LEVEL OF AMENITIES.
THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT IS A RECOGNITION THAT AT
TIMES GREATER QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY- PERMITTING MODIFICA-
TION OF ESTABLISHED ZONING AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND THAT WHEN PROPERTY
IS PLANNED AND DEVELOPED AS A UNIT, MODIFICATION TO STANDARD REGULATIONS IS
POSSIBLE WITHOUT ENDANGERING THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE
PUBLIC.
(2) IN KEEPING WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
CONCEPT AND TO ACCOMPLISH THE ABOVE STATED OBJECTIVES THIS ARTICLE WILL
PROVIDE FOR TWO TYPES OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS, TO BE HEREBY DESIGNATED
AS PUD -1 AND PUD -21 I.E. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT 1 AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOP-
MENT 2.
-2-
JRR /RC /Mc 6/28/72 3RD
(3) IT IS INTENDED THAT PUD -1 CONFORM AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE TO
ESTABLISHED ZONING AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS WHILE STILL PERMITTING FLEXI-
BILITY OF DESIGN TO MAKE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DESIRABLE FOR NORMAL
DEVELOPMENT SITUATIONS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMBINED USES.
(4) EACH PUD -2 IS A NEW ZONING DISTRICT OR AN OVERLAYS AS A DISTRICT
UPON AN EXISTING DISTRICT OR DISTRICTS, AS HEREINAFTER PRESCRIBED, AND
POSSESSING FEATURES DIFFERENTIATED IN SECTION 28 -3, DEFINITIONS (J) HEREOF.
PUD -2 IS ENVISIONED AS A TOOL UNDER WHICH ZONING AND SUBDIVISION
REGULATIONS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO MODIFICATION AS NECESSARY TO SOLVE SPECIFIC
LAND DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS AND TO 114PLEMENT SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS.
SECTION 28 -2 APPLICABILITY AND LIMITATIONS.
(A) DEVELOPMENT AS PUD -1 OR PUD -2 MAY BE PERMITTED FOR RESIDENTIAL
PURPOSES IN THE FOLLOWING ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY: R -1B, R -2, A -1, AND
A -2. SUCH DEVELOPMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL, PROFESSIONAL, OR BUSINESS PURPOSES
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RESIDENTIAL USES MAY BE PERMITTED IN THE FOLLOWING
ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY: AB, B -11 AT, B -2, 6-3, AND B-4. THE NATURE
OF A PUD ENVISIONS MINOR ALTERATIONS OF THE EXISTING RULES AND REGULATIONS
IN ESTABLISHED ZONING DISTRICTS. IT IS THE INTENT THAT THESE ALTERATIONS
BE HELD TO A MINIMUM.
IN THE CASE OF A PUD -2 DISTRICT THE AREA CONTAINED THEREIN SHALL
BE GOVERNED ENTIRELY BY THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH PUD -2 DISTRICT APPLICATION
APPROVAL AND THE CITY ZONING MAP SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY AMENDED TO SHOW THE
NEW, SUPPLANTING DISTRICT.
ACCESSORY AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL USES MAY BE PERMITTED IN EITHER
PUD -1 OR PUD -2 CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE ORDINANCES.
CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE ORDINANCES A PUD -1 AND PUD -2 MAY BE
EMBRACED IN ONE INTEGRATED PROJECT.
(B) UTILIZATION OF PUD -1 SHALL BE IN SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMITY WITH
THE REGULATIONS OF THE ESTABLISHED CITY ZONING DISTRICTS.
(C) UTILIZATION OF PUD -2 WILL REQUIRE DELINEATION OF A PUD -2
AREA BY THE CITY COUNCIL AFTER RECEIVING RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING
COMMISSION AND THE PROMULGATION OF SPECIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS BY ORDINANCE
CONSISTENT WITH THIS ORDINANCE.
