44e4 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT 9-16.01-9-16.10 PART 16. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD). 9-16. 01 Purpose The Planned Unit Development district is intended to permit flexibility of site design,-the conservation of land and open space through clustering of buildings and activities, and an incentive to developers to plan creatively by providing density bonuses. This flexibility can be achieved by allowing deviations from standards including setbacks, heights and similar regulations. "PUDs" are characterized by central management, integrated planning and architecture, joint or common use of parking, open space and other facilities, and a harmonious selection and efficient distribution of uses. 9-16.02 Required Use 1!1TD zoning is required for all developments having two or more principal uses or structures on a single parcel of land and may include townhouses, apartment projects involving more than one building, residential subdivisions, multi-use structures such as an apartment building with retail at ground floor level, commercial developments, mixed residential and commercial developments, and similar projects. 9-16.03 General Requirements and Standards Subdivision 1. Comprehensive Plan/Ordinance Consistences PUD must be consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan and the intent and purpose of the City Code provisions relative to land use, subdivision and development. Subdivision 2. Operating and Maintenance Requirements for PUD Common Qpen Space/Facilities. Whenever joint common open space or service facilities for individual owners or users are provided within the PUD, the PUD plan shall provide reasonable assurance of adequate operation and maintenance of such open space and service facilities. Subdivision 3. Staging of Public and Common Open Space. When a PUD provides for common or public open space, the total area of common or public open space or security in any stage of development, shall, at a minimum, bear the same relationship to the total open space to be provided in the entire PUD as the stages or units completed or under development bear to the entire PUD. Subdivision 4. Development Stage. Whenever any PUD is to be developed in stages, no such stage shall, when averaged with all previously completed stages, have a residential density that exceeds one hundred twenty-five percent (125 %) of the proposed residential density of the entire PUD. Subdivision 5. Urban Development and Availability of Public Service . All development shall be carefully phased so as to ensure that it will not cause an unreasonable burden upon the City in providing services and utilities or cause a deleterious impact upon the natural environment. 9-16.04 Permitted Uses and Standards The permitted uses, standards, and development plan shall be set forth in the ordinance rezoning the property to PUD. 153
