PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)

General Information, Instructions and Application Form

(ref. Chapter VI, section 12, and Chapter x, 2000 Zoning Resolution)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The intent and purpose of the PUD District is to establish a flexible procedure for

lots of land which are to be planned and developed as a whole; using a unified

design, encouraging creative methods, and a mixture of uses or design patterns

not permitted in any other established zoning district. It is further the intent of this

district to encourage the proper planning and design of these areas by providing

for submission of concept plans and specific development plans by prospective

developers. Land zoned PUD may be used for residential, business or industrial

purposes, or certain combinations thereof, as approved by the Commission and

Board.

Buildings may be clustered and/or set on lots of a size smaller than normally

required by the Resolution and which may result in an overall density the same

or slightly greater than is required by this resolution, but which contains large

open park -

like area with building concentrated in a few areas. Individual

properties may be owned in fee with joint ownership of the open space.

Please refer to the Natrona County Zoning Resolution for more detailed

information regarding the requirements for a Planned Unit Development.
