Planned Unit Development

Planned Unit Developments (PUD) include the development of land through an overall site design on a single parcel of land or multiple properties under one or more ownerships. The PUD process allows creativity and flexibility in site design and review which cannot be achieved through a strict adherence to existing zoning and subdivision standards.  Planned Unit Developments are subject to review and hearings by both the Planning Commission and the City Council.  The City Council makes the final decision on the Preliminary Planned Unit Development. This is a Type V land use process. The Planning Commission reviews and approves detailed Final Development Plans, and Site Plans associated with a Planned Unit Development. Approval of a Preliminary Planned Unit Development is binding upon the City for the purpose of preparation of the Final Development Plan.

 

A neighborhood meeting notice is not a formal land use application.  A neighborhood meeting is required to be held by the developer for certain types of land use applications PRIOR to submitting an application for land development to the City (Type III and above).  If you receive a notice in the mail, it is because you live within 1000 feet of a piece of property that someone is considering for development.
