ARTICL E VI. PL ANN ED UNI T DEVELOPMENTS
(A) Intent: Within zoning districts now existing or which
may hereafter be created, it is intended to permit as a
conditional use, on application and on approval of site, use and
building plans, creation of new Planned Unit Developments (PUD)
for flexible comprehensive development purposes where tracts
suitable in location and character for the uses and structures
proposed are to be planned and developed as units. Suitability
of such tracts for the plans and development proposed for the PUD
shall be determined by the City Council upon reference to the
Comprehensive Plan, applicable development plans which have been
aqopted and the existing and prospective character of the sur-
rounding development.
, Regulations for such unified planning and development
are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning and other
applicable regulations to an equivalent or greater degree as in
instances in which regulations are intended to control develop-
ment on a lot-by-lot rather than a unified basis; to promote
economical and efficient land use and improved level of ameni-
ties, appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development,
creative design and a better urban environment. Flexibility in
the arrangement of structures, open space and the pedestrian and
vehicular circulation pattern is permitted in order to encourage
the best utilization of the land, on which the development is
being constructed. In view of the substantial public advantages
of Planned Unit Developments, it is the intent of this section to
promote and encourage development in this form where appropriate
in location and character of the surrounding development.
(B) Definition of "Planned Unit Development". For the pur-
poses of this ordinance, a "Planned Unit Development" is:
(1) Land under unified control for development pur-
poses, planned and developed as a whole, J.n a
single development operation or a programmed
series of development operations, including lands,
buildings, structures and densities.
.~:...
(2) According to comprehensive and detailed plans
satisfactory to the City Council, which may
include plans detailing streets, utilities, lot or
building sites, landscaping and the like, and also
site plans, floor plans and elevations for all
buildings as intended to be located, constructed,
used and related to each other, and detailed for
other uses and improvements on the land as related
to the buildings.
(3) With approval by the City Council as to:
(
(a) Concept, uses, density, location, open space
relating to comprehensive and detailed plans.
18
.
.
(b) Streets, utilities, lot or building sites,
site plans, open space area and elevations
for all buildings as intended to be located,
constructed, used in relating to each other,
and detailed plans for other uses and im-
provements on the land as related to build-
ings.
(c) A program for provision, operation and main-
tenance of such areas, improvements,
facilities and services as will be for common
use by some or all of the occupants of the
PUD, but will not be provided, operated or
maintained at general public expense.
(C) Planned Unit Development: where permitted:
(1) Planned Unit Development may hereafter be
established in existing zoning districts, or over
a combined area of several zoning districts, or
such districts as may be determined by the City
Counci I pursuant to a PUD appl ication, where
tracts suitable in location and character for the
uses and structures proposed are to be planned and
developed as a PUD, according to the requirements
and procedures set forth in this section. In
considering a PUD among the criteria to be used
sha II be the location and nature of the PUD wi th
respect to intended functions and the
pattern of development existing or proposed in the
general plan, or other officially adopted plans,
and to public and private facilities and services,
existing or clearly to be available by the time
development reaches the stage where they will be
required.
(2) The location of the Planned Unit Development shall
be designated on the zoning map by the designation
"PUD" 'followed by the proper designation of the
~xisting zoning district or districts.
(D) Standards for PUDs: In reaching recommendations and
decisions on the granting of a Conditional Use Permit, the
following standards should be used:
(l)Location.
(a) Relation to major transportation facilities.
The criteria to be consldered for location of
a PUD are its location with respect to local
streets, collector streets, minor arterials
or major arterials, other- transportation
facilities, or the creation thereof, so as to
provide direct access to such districts
thereby minimizing the creation or generation
19
.
.
of traffic along local and collector streets
in residential neighborhoods or other dis-
tricts, outside the PUD.
(b) Relation to public utilities, facilities and
services. The criterion to be considered in
the location of the PUD in relation to sani-
tary sewers, water lines, storm and surface
drainage Rystems and other utilities, systems
and installations is such information as will
allow the determination as to whether the
extension or enlargement of such systems in
manner, form, character, location, degree,
scale or timing may result in higher net
public cost or earlier incursion of public
cost than would development in forms general-
ly permitted under existing zoning for the
area. Such PUD districts shall be so located
with respect to necessary public facilities
as to have access to such facilities in the
same degree as would development permitted
under existing zoning, and shall be so lo-
cated, designed and scaled that acc~ss for
public services is equivalent to, and the net
costs for such services is not greater than,
access and net costs for public services for
development as permitted under existing
zoning.
A further 'criterion is the applicant's
agreement to:
,
(1) provide adequate and appropriate
facilities, utilities or services approved by
the City Council to meet the needs arising
out of the PUD, and assure their satisfactory
continuing operation permanently or until
appropriate public utilities, facilities or
services are available and used, or
(2) make provisions acceptable to the City
Council if required for off-setting any added
net cost or early commitment of public funds
made necessary by such development. Expenses
involved in making such determinations as may
be required in establishing the foregoing
information shall be paid by the applicant.
Final determination of these matters shallbe
made by the City Council.
(c) !hysical character of the site, relation to
surroundin¡1; property. The site shall be
suitable for development in the manner as
approved under the Southern Standard Building
Code and the applicable State, County and
City laws.
:;>0

.
The natural topography, soils, natural vege-
tation and surface water should be preserved
and utilized through the careful location and
design of circulation ways, buildings and
structures, parking areas, recreation areas
open space and drainage facilities.
Buildings and recreation areas should be
situated to take full advantage of natural
air flow, sun angle and views.
(2) Minimum area. It is the intent of this section to
encourage the assembly of land into larger parcels
in order to achieve a better urban environment.
To qualify for a Planned Unit Development applica-
tion, a tract of land shall possess not less than
three (3) acres.
(3) Uses, density, open space, living area per family
and other regulations. Within a Planned Unit
Development, ãnyprincipal and accessory use,
density, open space, living area per family and
other regulation is permitted which is already
permitted in the existing zoning district or
districts or PUD districts as may be determined by
the City Council pursuant to a PUD application, in
which such Planned Unit Development is located.
the arrangement and location of the permitted
principal and accessory uses may not be subject to
the existing zoning regulations, but shall be
subject to the approval of the City Council. De-
viations from the permitted principal and accesso-
ry uses, dens i ty, open space, living area per
fami I y and oth er regu I at ions may be gran ted upon
approval of the PUD Conditional Use application by
the City Council. Criteria to be considered by
the City Council for approval of deviations as
described above may include but are not limited
to:
(a) Private renewal and redevelopment that
cre~tes ~ better urban environment through
the assembly of land:
(b) Providing of public usable open space through
the provision of plazas, parks and walkways;
(c) Clearance of obsolete, bl ighted or undesir-
able buildings and/or uses.

areas;
(f) Provision of parks or other landscaping which
will enhance the environment; and
(g) Other public benefits.
(E) Procedures for securin~ approval of a Planned Unit
Development.
(1) Preapplication procedure (optional).
(a) Before any prel iminary work is prepared the
developer should become familiar with the
regulations and requirements for a Planned
Unit Development in order to avoid heavy
expenditures of time, effort and money, only
to find that unnecessary costly changes are
required by the City Council to make the
plans conform to its requirements.
(b) The "preappl ication conference" is designed
to afford the developer an opportunity to
avail himself of the advice and assistance of
the appropriate City officials regarding the
proposed project before he makes formal ap-
plication. No statement or representation
made prior to the official review shall be
binding on the Planning and Zoning Commission
or the City Council.
(c) The developer should prepare or have prepared
a sketch plan showing the boundaries of the
property to be developed. He should also
have any physical information readily avail-
able. The sketch plan need not be any parti-

PUD shall submit an application for a Conditional
Use Permit in accordance with the provisions of
Article IX of this ordinance. The application
shall be accompanied by the following documents
and information:

23
.
.
development.
(e) When it is deemed necessary:

in the streets adjacent to and in the
vicinity of the proposed PUD.
(2) The City Council may require an economic
feasibility study.
(f) When a PUD includes common open space or
recreational facilities, a statement describ-
ing the'provisions for the care and mainten-
ance of such open space or recreational
facilities must be made. Satisfactory provi-
sions shall be made to assure that nonpublic
areas and facilities for the common use of
occupants of the PUD, but not in individual
ownership of such occupants, shall be main-
tained in satisfactory manner without expense
to the taxpayers of the City of Clermont.
Such may be provided by the incorporation of
an automatic membership home association for
