Intent. The Planned Resort Development (PRD) Zoning District is intended
to address the unique nature of the Town's existing large properties
which were originally developed as resorts, by encouraging the continuance
of existing resort, retreat, and other present uses, and encouraging
the future adaptive reuse of such properties for comprehensively planned
uses, including mixed-use developments that are planned as a single
unit as part of a Planned Resort Development (PRD). Developments within
the PRD District are intended to preserve large areas of open space
so that such developments are compatible with the natural surroundings
of the development's environs. The PRD regulations allow a range of
residential, nonresidential, educational, nonprofit, recreational
and open space uses, and a potential mix of uses, in accordance with
performance criteria. This district encourages creativity and innovations
in site design and the protection of ecologically sensitive land.
