§ 20.10.070. Planned development district.

A.

The planned development district is hereby established as a city zoning district classification. It may be referred to as planned development zone, planned development district or as PD district or PD zone.

B.

Every PD district shall be combined with an alternative base zoning district or districts. Any zoning district set forth in Section 20.10.060 may be utilized as a base district. The zone shall be referred to by the symbol for its base district followed by its planned district designation (e.g., A(PD)).

C.

The PD district shall be individually designed to meet the needs of the territory so zoned. It shall be adopted by a zoning ordinance which incorporates by reference a general development plan for the entirety of the subject property. The general development plan shall include drawings and text as specified in Section 20.120.510.

D.

Development of the subject property can hereafter occur only pursuant to an effective PD permit issued in strict conformity with the adopted general development plan or alternatively, in accordance with requirements for the base district if one exists.

E.

Under no circumstances shall the city ever be required to issue a PD permit. The discretion to grant or deny such permit is untrammeled and nothing contained in this title shall be deemed or construed to limit this discretion in any way whatsoever. Unless and until a PD permit has been issued and becomes effective, the subject territory may be used only as if it were situate in the base district alone.
