In selected instances, departures from the requirements and
allowed uses of the zoning districts of this Unified Development Code
may be made through the Planned Unit Development ("PUD") option. The
purpose of the "PUD" option is to permit and encourage innovative,
economical and attractive development which allocates appropriate
areas of improvements, open space and recreation; which includes land
uses which harmonize with natural features and constraints; and which
efficiently phases and locates public and private services and facilities.
