The purpose of a planned unit development (P.U.D.) zoning district is to provide greater flexibility in the development of land involving various types and combinations of residential and nonresidential uses. A P.U.D. is also intended to encourage a more creative approach in the development of land that will result in a more efficient, aesthetic and desirable use of open area. A P.U.D. may be designed and utilized in the following manner:
(A) For large-scale projects which are able to function as an individual community or neighborhood.
(B) For small-scale projects which require flexibility because of unique circumstances or design characteristics.
(C) For a transitional or buffer area between dissimilar land uses.
(D) For a conservation area to preserve and protect streams, rivers, lakes, and other natural resources. (Ord. No. 382, §§ 1 – 3, 12-20-94; Ord. No. 522, §§ 1 – 4, 1-7-03; Ord. No. 2009-08, §§ 1, 2, 6-2-09. 1976 Code § 15-1-47(A))
