Classes of uses permitted on appeal: Due to the flexibility and range of authority granted the planning commission in the review and approval of planned unit developments and as planned unit developments are to be developed in accordance with a unified, comprehensive plan that shall provide for all appropriate uses and structures, in planned unit development districts the powers of the board of adjustment shall be limited to the granting of variances as to yard and height requirements and signs where permitted, and shall not include the power to grant special exceptions. Classes of structures or uses prohibited: Any commercial, industrial, or agricultural use not specifically permitted by the planning commission when granting final approval of PUD. Mobile dwellings. Minimum area: The minimum area required to qualify for a PUD district shall be not less than 15 contiguous acres of land. Ownership: The tract of land for a PUD must be either in one ownership or the subject of an application filed jointly by the owners of all the properties included (the holder of a written option to purchase land shall, for purposes of such application, be deemed to be an owner of such land). Location of PUD district: This district shall be applicable to any area of the city or the police jurisdiction thereof where the applicant can demonstrate that the characteristics of his holdings will meet the objectives of the PUD district as stated in article VI of this ordinance. Land use and density: Because land is used more efficiently in PUD Districts, improved environmental quality can often be produced with greater number of dwelling units per net acre than usually permitted in traditionally zoned residential districts.
