Planned development residential districts are designed to encourage innovative and
creative design of residential development; facilitate use of the most advantageous
construction techniques; maximize the conservation and efficient use of open space
and natural features; and provide a variety of affordable types of housing. This district
is limited to locations within the development service district(s) associated with
the comprehensive plan where public benefits, in the form of highway improvements,
utilities, affordable housing, parks, sites appropriate for construction of schools
or other needed community facilities, are provided as a part of the development approval
process in exchange for higher densities. Threshold size and location requirements
for their designation are included to guide decisions concerning their location. (11-17-16;
