The Board of Aldermen of the City of Union shall have the authority
to approve area and final Planned Unit Development (PUD) plans. Such
plans may be considered by the Board of Aldermen only after the Planning
and Zoning Commission has reviewed the plans and submitted its recommendations
to the Board.
[R.O. 2012 §405.587]
The minimum area to be developed under the regulations of this
Article shall be five (5) acres, provided however, that the minimum
lot area may be waived by the Planning and Zoning Commission if the
parcel in question has certain unique characteristics such as, but
not limited to, significant topographic change, significant trees,
or wooded areas; wetlands, floodplain, or poor soil conditions on
portions of the property; water courses or utility easements crossing
the parcel; unusual shape or proportions; and isolation from other
undeveloped or developable lands. In such case, the applicant shall
submit information to the Commission to support the request for a
waiver of the minimum tract size requirement. The Commission shall
consider the request for a waiver of the minimum tract size requirement.
The Commission shall consider the request and act thereon, record
said action in the minutes of the meeting, and inform the applicant
of the action in writing. The request for waiver and the Commission's
action shall be made prior to the applicant's submittal of an application
for a Planned Unit Development designation. If the Commission accepts
the request for waiver of minimum tract size, the Commission shall
indicate its decision and the reasons therefore in its report to the
Board of Aldermen as required.

with a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission following
due public notice as required by law.

Permits until the violation is cured.
