The proposed amendment seeks to set out standards for a flexible Planned Development application, review, and approval process.

The current Code at Sections Sec. 125-212. - Planned Development Zone (PD) and Sec. 125-213. - Planned Unit Redevelopment Zone (PUR) set out alternative processes for Planned Unit Development. The existing differentials in required application submittal documents and definitions of such are causing confusion. In addition, the submittal requirements do not take the cost of development plan preparation and the process of development planning fully into account.

It is proposed to eliminate in entirety Sec. 125-213. - Planned Unit Redevelopment Zone (PUR) from the Code of Ordinances and incorporate elements of the deleted section into an amended Sec. 125-212. - Planned Development Zone (PD) code. The deleted elements include the potential to apply for a 'Concept Plan Phase’ and a ‘Preliminary Redevelopment Plan Phase’ ahead of a ‘Final Redevelopment Plan Phase’.
