Planned Unit Development Guidelines
Planned Unit Developments (PUD) (Chapter 17.180 of the City Code) encourage the design of well-planned facilities which offer a variety of commercial, residential, or other land uses through creative and imaginative planning. The development and design guidelines that are adopted for each PUD provide for greater flexibility in the design of integrated developments than otherwise possible through strict application of zoning regulations. PUD's typically include the following types of development:
- Residential
