§ 2. Conversion of conventional zoning amendment to a planned development district.

The commission or the governing body, as a condition to the reviewing of any proposed zoning change, may require the submission of a site plan for the purpose of converting a proposed zoning amendment to a planned development district. Such approval shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article VIII for Planned Development Projects.

The governing body may approve a conventional zoning amendment petition as a planned development project (PDP) rather than a conventional zoning district if the governing body finds that the county would be better served with a planned development project and the applicant has provided a master plan that meets the requirements of the planned development district acceptable to the governing body to support the rezoning for a planned development project, and the planned development project is more restrictive than the district advertised for consideration. If a zoning amendment is approved as a planned development project by the governing body, then the applicant shall be instructed to prepare a revised plan, if applicable, indicating all approved special conditions, if any, and showing all of the appropriate and applicable data and information within thirty (30) days of approval or the rezoning shall become null and void.
