Purpose and intent

The purpose of this article is to govern the erection, design, use and reuse of buildings and land approved as either Planned Developments (PD) or as Mixed Use Planned Developments (MUPD). These districts are intended to provide the following:

• A. Planned development: a designation which allows for residential land uses through environmentally sensitive design. It would provide for residential development on a single parcel (as in a townhouse design, etc.).
• B. Mixed use planned development: a designation which allows for multiple uses on one parcel. It is offered as a development option as an encouragement to construct and develop low-density commercial (retail and/or office) uses so as to offset the tax burden of higher density residential units. Low- and moderate-income residential units would be particularly encouraged in an MUPD.
