Planned Unit Development (PUD) Agreements

A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a site-specific zoning district. PUDs provide for mixed-uses, a more flexible response to the market, and encourage a more desirable site plan design. The development quality must be equal to or better than what would be required by standard zoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviews PUD submittals and provides a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council has final authoritative action over PUD submittals. If approved, the PUD Agreement and zoning map amendment are adopted through Ordinance. For code information on this type of zoning, refer to Article VI. Planned Unit Development.
