18.63.010 Purpose.
(1) The purpose of the planned development is to allow greater flexibility in the design of residential, commercial, or industrial uses or a mixture of such uses by permitting specific modifications of the bulk and use regulations and performance standards of the underlying zone(s) as applied to a particular parcel of land. A planned development is its own district. Each approved planned development is superimposed on the underlying zone to the extent that the planned development shall modify and supersede the bulk and use regulations and performance standards to the underlying zone.
(2) A planned development shall:
(a) Encourage flexibility in design and development that will result in a more efficient and desirable use of the land.
(b) Permit flexibility of design, placement of buildings, use of required open spaces, circulation facilities, open spaces, off-street parking areas, and otherwise to better utilize the potentials of the site characterized by special features such as but not limited to geography, topography, or shape.
(c) Provide for maximum efficiency in the layout of streets, utilities, and other public improvements.
(d) Produce an integrated or balanced development of mutually supportive uses that might be otherwise inharmonious or incongruous. (Ord. 517 § 1, 2016; Ord. 416 § 1, 2009)
