A. It is the purpose of the PUD Planned Unit Development District to provide flexible land use and design regulations and to permit planned diversification and integration of uses and structures, while retaining in the City Council the absolute authority to establish limitations and regulations thereon for the benefit of the public health, welfare and safety. These provisions are designed to: (1) Promote more efficient and economic residential and non-residential uses of land, and encourage appropriate mixed use development. (2) Lower development and building costs by permitting smaller networks of utilities and streets and the use of more economical building types and shared facilities. (3) Provide for open spaces and common areas and provide usable and suitably lo cated recreational facilities within the development. (4) Allow the controlled development of land uses most suitable to the proposed site and surrounding neighborhoods. (5) Provide design and location criteria to encourage innovative development. (6) Encourage small area planning, beneficial coordination in private and public investment, and site assembly for planned development. B. The PUD District designation is a two -step process consisting of a PUD Conceptual Plan and a PUD Development Plan. The PUD Conceptual Plan is intended to communicate a proposed development concept for a project area greater than three (3) acres that may or may not be under unified ownership and/or control (a PUD with only residential uses may be as small as 1 acre). PUD Conceptual Plan approval would not constitute a change in the zoning map or otherwise alter the existing development rights of property in the affected area. The PUD Conceptual Plan approval process would identify desirable parameters for future development pursuant to a PUD Development Plan. The PUD Conceptual Plan and the PUD APP-C-133 Development Plan may be approved concurrently if all necessary conditions PUD Development Plan are met. Approval of a PUD Development Plan shall be through the rezoning process, requiring a recommendation from the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. PUD Development Plan approval shall be done by ordinance specifying uses, development standards, conditions, and limitations; and amending the official zoning map des ignating the area affected as a distinctly numbered PUD District.
