Planned Unit Development (PUD) districts (see Section 2.7) are districts that permit variations to allow flexibility to creatively plan a site specific, high quality overall development of their land that is not possible through the strict application of the minimum standards of the Ordinance and are approved in a legislative procedure by the Board of Commissioners in accordance with NCGS §160D. Planned Unit Developments provide for orderly and flexible development under the general policies of this ordinance without the constraints of some of the prescribed standards guiding by-right development. Before any development shall be designated as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) District on the Official Zoning District Map, it shall receive approval pursuant to the terms of this Section and Section 2.7 Planned Unit Developments.

The Planning Board may recommend and the Board of Commissioners (with mutual approval of the applicant) may attach reasonable and appropriate conditions including, but not limited to, the location, nature, hours of operation, and extent of the proposed use(s). Conditions and site-specific standards shall be limited to those that address conformance of the development and use of the site to this ordinance and officially adopted plans and those standards and conditions that address the impacts reasonably expected to be generated by the development and use of the site. The applicant will have a reasonable opportunity to consider and respond to any conditions and site-specific standards proposed by either the Planning Board or the Board of Commissioners prior to final action.
