ARTICLE 13. PUD Planned Unit Development District.
<br />
<br />Sec. 13.100. Purposes.
<br />In addiction to the objectives prescribed in Sec. 1.101, (Objectives),
<br />the PUD planned unit development district is included in the zon-
<br />ing ordinance to achieve the following purposes:
<br /> a. To establish a procedure for the development of large parcels
<br /> of land that will reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and
<br /> inequities that otherwise would result from application of zon-
<br /> ing standards and procedures designed primarily for small, sub-
<br /> divided parcels in predominantly built-up areas.
<br /> 0. To ensure orderly and thorough planning and review procedures
<br /> that will result in high quality urban design.
<br /> c. To encourage variety and void monotony in large developments.
<br /> d. To accommodate changing market conditions and communi-
<br /> ty desires without excessive design costs by not requiring de-
<br /> tailed planning for areas that are not to be developed immed-
<br /> iately.
<br /> e. To provide a mechanism whereby the City may authorlze de-
<br /> sirable developments in conformity with the General Plan with-
<br /> out inviting speculative rezouing applications which, if granted,
<br /> often would deprive other owners of development opportunities
<br /> without resulting in construction of the proposed facilities.
<br /> f. To provide an interim zoning district to be in force during the
<br /> pre-development period, but which will be replaced by final
<br /> zoning districts at the time of development.
<br /> g. To encourage allocation and improvement of common open
<br /> space in residential areas and to make provision for mainten-
<br /> ance of the open space at the expense of those who will directly
<br /> benefit from it.
<br />
<br />Sec. 13.101. Ialtiation.
<br />An amendment to reclassify property to a PUD district may be in-
<br />itiated by the owner, the City Planning Commission, or the City
<br />Council. It is the intent .of this section that the Commission shall
<br />initiate a PUD district for proposed new commercial areas when-
<br />ever it believes that use of the PUD procedures would contribute
<br />toward achievement of the objectives prescribed in Sec. 1.101, (Ob-
<br />jectives), and ~he purposes prescribed in Sec. 13.100, (Purposes).
<br />
<br />Sec. 13.102. Minimum Area.
<br />The minimum area of a PUD district shall be two acres. All prop-
<br />erty in a PUD district shall be in a single ownership as defined
<br />under Section 1:105.13d, and adjoining parcels under separate own-
<br />erships in a PUD district shall be considered separate PUD districts.
<br />
<br />See. 1~3.103. Plans Required.
<br />Except as provided in Sec. 13.104, (Permitted Uses and Residential
<br />Densities), no use shall be permitted in a PUD district until a pre-
<br />liminary development plan and a final development plan shall have
<br />been reviewed by the City Planning Commission and approved by the
<br />City Council. A preliminary development plan may include or be
<br />accompanied by a final development plan and may be submitted
<br />when reclassification to a PUD district is initiated or any time there-
<br />after.
<br />
<br />Sec. 13. 104. Permitted Uses and Residential Densities.
<br /> a. Prior to approval of a final development plan by the City Court-
<br /> cil, a PUD district containing less than 15 acres shall be sub-
<br /> ject to all the regulations of the S Study district and a PUD
<br /> district containing 15 acres or more shall be subject to all the
<br /> regulations of the A Agricultural district.
<br /> b. A preliminary development plan may propose any use permitted
<br /> by this ordinance, provided that before approving the plan the
<br /> City Planning Commission and the City Council shall find that
<br /> the uses are in conformity with the Pleasanton General Plan
<br /> and are harmoniously related to other uses in the particular
<br /> PUD district and in the surrounding area.
<br /> c. In a PUD district the maximum residential density allowed
<br /> shall not exceed the density designated on the Pleasanton Gen-
<br /> eral Plan by more tha~ 20 per cent. Gross residential acreage
<br /> shall include all land devoted to residential use and to recrea-
<br /> tional use and one-half of the width of abutting streets.
<br />
<br /> Sec. 13.195. PUD Special Features and Privileges.
<br /> A planned unit development shall be designed to comply with the
<br /> requirements of proposed final zoning districts prescribed in this
<br /> ordinance, except that the preliminary or final development plan
<br /> may propose variations from district regulations with respect to
<br /> fences, walls, and hedges; screening and landscaping; front, rear
<br /> and side yards; distances between structures; courts; and usable
<br /> open space. In addition a PUD may propose a reduction in minimum
<br />
<br />site area per dwelling unit not exceeding 50 per cent of the
<br />site area required in the proposed final zoning district, pros
<br />that common open space in addition to usable open space req~
<br />by Sec. 2.110, (Usable Open Space), and public park land pros
<br />in accordance with Ordinance 439 shall be designated, devel
