Planned Development

You’ll notice as you view the Art Use Table that some activities are listed as occurring in Planned Development areas.  PD stands for a Planned Development District.  The primary purpose of a PD District is, “to encourage unified planning and development; promote economically beneficial development patterns compatible with the surrounding area; ensure adequate amenities are included in the project; and encourage protection and conservation of natural resources.” Each PD District has its own site-specific zoning guidelines that dictate intensity and use regulations. 

Planned Developments are administered by the Department of Planning and Development, and copies of the individual PD ordinances can be reviewed at City Hall, in Room 1003.
