§ 29-11.20. Planned Unit Development District.

[Added 6-1-70; effective 6-21-70]

A. Intent. It is the intent of the Planned Unit Develop-

ment (PUD) Article (§§ 29-11.20 throngh 29-11.25) to
provide flexible land use and design regulations through
the use of performance criteria so that small- to large-
scale neighborhoods or portions thereof may be developed
Within the town that incorporate a variety of residential
types and nonresidential uses, and contain both individual
building sites and common property which are planned
and developed as a unit. Such a planned unit is to
be designed and organized so as to be capable of sat-
isfartory use and operation as a separate entity without
necessarily needing the participation of other building
sites or other common property in order to function as a
neighborhood. This Article specifically encourages inno-

2916.5

EXHIBIT A

vations in residential development so that the growing
demands for housing at all economie levels may be met by
greater variety in type, design and siting of dwellings
and by the conservation and more efficient use of land
in such developments.

This Article recognizes that the standard zoning fune-
tien (use and bulk) and the subdivision funetion (platting
aud design) are ‘appropriate for the regulation of land
use in areas or neighborhoods that are already snbstan-
tially developed, but that PUD teehniques for land de-
velopment may be more appropriate in areas of the town
that are not already substantially developed, This Article
recognizes that a rigid set of space requirements along
with bulk and use specifieations would frustrate the ap-
plication of the PUD concept. Thus, where PUD teeh-
niques are deemed appropriate through the rezoning of
lind te a PUD District by the Town Board, the set of
nse and dimensional specifieations elsewhere in this or-
dinanee is herein replaced by approval process in which
an approved plan beeomes the basis for continuing land-
use controls, Consequently, where the provisions of
§$ 29.3, 29.8, 29.9, 29-10, 29-11, 29-11.1, 29-12, 29-15,
29.21) and 29.20.1 of the amended Zoning Ordinance are
inconsistent with the provisions of this seetion, the pro-
visions of this seetion shall prevail.

. Objectives, In order to carry ont the intent of this
Article, a PUD shall achieve the following objectives:

(1) A maximum ehoice in the types of environment, oe-
cupaney tenure (e.g. cooperatives, individual owner-
ship, condominium, leasing), types of housing, lot sizes
and community facilities available to existing and po-
tential town residents at all economic levels,

(2) More usable open space and reerceation areas,

(3) More convenience in location of accessory commercial
and service arens,

2916.6

29

EXHIBIT A

(4) The preservation of trees, outstanding natural topo-
graphy and geologic features and prevention of soil

erosion,

(5) A ercative use of land and related physical develop-
ment which allows an orderly transition of land from
rural te urban uses,

(6) An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks
of utilities and streets and thereby lower housing

costs,

(7) A development pattern in harmony with the objec-
tives of the Master Plan.

(8) A mere desirable environment than would be possible
through the strict application of other Articles of this
ordinanee,

§ 29-11.21. General requirements for Planned Unit Developments.

[Added 6-1-70; effective 6-21-70]

A. Minimum area. Under normal circumstances, the mini-

mum urea required to qualify for a PUD District shall
be one hundred (100) contiguous acres of land. Where
the applicart can demonstrate that the characteristics of
his holdings will meet the objectives of this Article, the
Mlanning Board may consider projects with less acreage.

. Ownership. The tract of land for a project may be

owned, leased or eontrolied either by a single person
or corporation, or by a group of individuals or corpora-
