setbacks, lot coverage, lot sizes, parking requirements, signage, building height, building materials, landscaping requirements, etc. The process is meant to create a better development than the standard regulations may otherwise allow. The PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development; however, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the impacts of the development. While each PUD process is unique, it is a common processed used by many cities. Typically, the PUD process cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zone, If a property is subdivided into multiple properties during the PUD process, it is still often viewed as one continuous development, The development as a whole would be expected to meet the landscaping, stormwater, and other similar requirements, For example, one property in the PUD may have 40 percent building coverage; however, the development as a whole does not exceed 25 percent building coverage to maintain conformance with the underlying zone. In order to maintain shared amenities such as landscaping and stormwater ponds, the development is required to create a legal entity to manage and maintain the shared amenities, During the Master PUD stage, the City works with the applicant to set an overall design framework or standard for a proposed development, which generally includes the design standards, the size ofthe development, and what, if any, deviations from the underlying zoning district will be permitted. Once the Master PUD is approved, the applicant then creates a development that conforms to the design standards for the Final PUD stage, The level of detail is guided by the type and scale ofthe development as well as the guidance or flexibility within the Zoning Code.
