(a) 
The city council, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected and after recommendation from the planning and zoning commission, may authorize the creation of a planned development district.
(b) 
The planned development district is a district which accommodates planned associations of uses developed as integral land use units such as industrial districts, offices, commercial or service centers, shopping centers, retail centers, residential developments or any appropriate combination of uses which may be planned, developed or operated as integral land use units either by a single owner or a combination of owners. A planned development district may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts in this chapter. While greater flexibility is given to allow special conditions or restrictions, which would not otherwise allow the development to occur, procedures are established herein to ensure against misuse of increased flexibility.
(Ordinance 2006-01-00548, sec. 1, adopted 1/3/06; Ordinance 2024-03-00998 adopted 3/21/2024)
An application for a planned development district shall specify the base district(s), and the use or the combination of uses proposed. Uses which may be permitted in a planned development district must be specified if not permitted in the base district(s). Specific use permits allowed in a base zoning district are allowed in a planned development district only if specifically identified at the time of approval by the city council.

(c) 
Detailed site plan.
A detailed site plan shall be submitted as a part of the planned development district application shall set forth the final plans for development of the planned development district. Changes of detail on the detailed site plan, which differ from the approved detailed site plan, but do not alter the basic relationship of the proposed development to the adjacent property, the uses permitted, or increase the density, building height or coverage of the site, the off-street parking ratio or reduce the yards provided at the boundary of the site, or do not significantly alter the landscape plans as indicated on the approved site plan, may be authorized by the city council without an amendment to the planned development district ordinance.
(Ordinance 2006-01-00548, sec. 1, adopted 1/3/06; Ordinance 2024-03-00998 adopted 3/21/2024)

Planned development districts may require a city/developer facilities agreement prior to or contemporaneous with the final plat approval. This agreement shall reflect the cost-sharing agreement between the city and the developer for the installation or over-sizing of utility systems, perimeter streets, mandatory construction or dedication of park or open space area, landscaping or greenbelt development or other comparable items, phasing of the development, maximum density or intensity of use during the construction process, and the maintenance of open space.
