5 SAMPLE ZONING FOR AREA SOUTH OF I-86 Planned Unit Development for Commercial, Industrial & Mixed Uses District (PCIMD) Intent. The Planned Commercial, Industrial & Mixed-Use Development District (PCIMD) is intended to promote innovative reuse of land in the [JURISDICTION] that has historically been dedicated to [USE] use to return that land to activities that generate tax revenue for the [JURISDICITON]. The PCIMD is designed to serve as a location for creative, sustainable development involving primarily commercial and industrial uses with the potential to include complementary mixed use and residential development. To allow for maximum innovation and flexibility in development proposals, it is intended that all projects in this district will be developed as Planned Unit Developments (PUD). Planned Unit Developments (PUD). It is the intent of PUD to provide flexible land use and design regulations through the use of performance criteria so that small- to large-scale commercial, industrial and/or mixed-use developments, or portions thereof, may be developed within the [JURISDICTION] that incorporate a variety and appropriate balance of commercial, industrial and/or mixed-use uses and contain both individual building sites and common property which are planned and developed as a unit. Such a planned unit is to be designed and organized so as to be capable of satisfactory use and operation as a separate entity without necessarily needing the participation of other building sites or common property in order to function as a vital commercial and/or industrial center for the [JURISDICTION]. PUD specifically encourages innovations in mixed-use development so that the growing demands for housing at all economic levels may be met by greater variety in type, design and siting of dwellings and by the conservation and more efficient use of land in the context of commercial development. Objectives. In order to carry out the intent of this article, any PUD proposed for the PCIMD shall achieve the following objectives: A. Facilitate development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the [JURISDICTION]. B. Provide a diversity of choice in the types of environment, occupancy tenure, types of employment opportunities, housing, lot sizes and community facilities available to existing and potential [JURISDICTION] residents at all economic levels. C. Provide conveniently located accessory commercial and service areas. D. Conserve and preserve trees and groves of trees, outstanding natural topography, geologic features, biodiversity, water resources and prevention of soil erosion. E. Provide for an efficient use of land through networks of utilities and streets that lower costs of developing and maintaining sites for industrial, commercial or residential uses. F. Provide additional long-term taxable value to the [JURISDICTION] tax base and additional public benefits, as needed and as determined by the [JURISDICTION] Board. General requirements.
