Purpose:
The planned development project (PDP) is a specialized zoning district which provides
a level of density and/or intensity, and a list of permitted uses. A narrative description
and a master plan are part of the PDP zoning. The master plan is a visual depiction
of the general layout of the project in conformance with the PDP rules with any additional
performance standards or specific deviations requested. The process for approval of
a PDP zoning is through the zoning amendment process as provided for in this ordinance.
This master plan must be reviewed and approved by the governing body.
A planned-development project will allow the applicant of a project the flexibility,
with governing body approval, to alter the standard requirements of the county. A
applicant may also be able to deviate from the following specific requirements of
the planned development project regulations after due public notice has been given:
perimeter setbacks, parking requirements, building coverage, buffering and street
design requirement. The board shall base its decision on the requested deviation based
on the impact on the public in regards to the health, safety and welfare of the public.
The governing body may increase or decrease the minimum standards provided herein
in order to attain compatibility, protect natural resources or meet other public purpose
goals.
The planned development project shall be developed according to the approved master
plan and supporting narrative and data. The master plan and narrative for a project
must meet the minimum standards as provided herein.
Failure to initiate substantial performance as indicated below shall render the master
plan null and void. The intensity/density is retained under the zoning approval; however,
a new master plan meeting the existing land development regulations shall be required.
The process for receiving master plan approval shall be in the same manner as a zoning
amendment application.
All planned development projects shall be subject to the following regulations:
