PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT Q&A What criteria will the Planning Commission use to grant a P.U.D. Permit? There are several criteria that the Planning Commission will use to grant a P.U.D. permit, these include: Whether a P.U.D. development can start and be completed within a reasonable period of time. 2. How well the proposed P.U.D. conforms to the General Plan, applicable Community Development Plans (CDPs), applicable master plans, and applicable design guidelines. 3. How well deviations/exceptions from Zoning and Subdivision code create a development that is more keeping with the character of the surrounding community. 4. For residential/agricultural P. U.D.s, the Planning Commission will look for how well the proposed P.U.D. design fits with the character of the surrounding area, while ensuring no increase in density, and maintaining open space standards of the zoning district the P.U.D. is located in. 5. For commercial P.U.D.s, the Planning Commission will look at how well the proposed P.U.D. design will create an attractive development, which does not adversely impact surrounding properties/developments, avoids excessive traffic congestion, and provides for proper access, internal traffic, and parking. 6. For industrial P. U.D.s, the Planning Commission will look for how well the proposed P.U.D. design will provide an efficient/well organized development, provide for adequate freight service and storage, no adverse impact on surrounding properties/developments. Please note, the Planning Commission is not required to approve all of the requested uses, plans, code deviation requests, etc., rather they can approve some and deny others based on how well they meet approval criteria. What are the requirements for notifying Surrounding Property Owners? Between the time the application is accepted and the Public Hearing is held, you will need to post a sign on the property and notify surrounding property owners. See attached instruction sheet. What are the next steps following approval of the P.U.D. Permit? Once a P.U.D. permit is granted by the Planning Commission, the permittee will be responsible for complying with all conditions of approval which can include timelines to start and complete development, meeting minimum development standards, infrastructure and utility improvements, and compliance with other agency rules and regulations. Lack of compliance could lead the Planning Commission to revoke the P.U.D. permit.
