§9-1200 PURPOSE & INTENT
In order that the purposes and intents of the Land Development Ordinance may be accomplished, there are hereby established within the Town’s corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) the following floating zoning districts. Floating zoning districts are established by application only, for which a master plan is required.
§9-1201 TRADITIONAL ZONING DISTRICTS
Floating traditional zoning districts are established by application only and are a use-based regulatory revision.
a. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning District
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning District is intended to permit variations and flexibility to create a plan for a unified high quality overall development that would otherwise not be possible under the Land Development Ordinance. A planned unit development is recognized and considered desirable as part of the Town's development pattern to address urban design, meet the demand for all types of housing, include public and private parks and greenways, and incorporate necessary and desired commercial and educational facilities. This district may accommodate residential uses not to exceed six (6) dwelling units per gross acre with public utilities. This type of development encourages the conservation and more efficient use of open space, protection of environmental sensitive areas, enhances recreation and activities for healthy living, promotes a pedestrian friendly environment and well-designed and coordinated streets and pedestrian patterns. The Town encourages this type of development that can be resilient to market trends and is an economic strength for the community. This district is intended to offer flexibility in regulations and performance standards to create a total development master plan integrating a mix of uses rather than separation of uses so that residential, retail, office, recreational, and educational environments are conveniently located to each other. The Planned Unit Development District standards shall be in accordance with Appendix D Planned Unit Development District.
b. Town Center Residential (TCR) Zoning District
The Town Center Residential (TCR) District is intended to complement and support the downtown center districts, Downtown Center-1 (DC-1) and Downtown Center-2 (DC-2) Zoning
