A.
Intent. The purpose of the Planned Development (PD). District
is to provide land for uses and developments that promote development
that is more sensitive to the natural environment, create a significantly
enhanced natural setting or sense of place, or otherwise enhance the
standard pattern of development in Buda. Development must provide
a higher level of amenities to its users or residents than is usually
required under the normal standards of this code. A PD may be used
to permit new or innovative concepts in land use not permitted by
other zoning districts in this Code or to permit development projects
that existing districts cannot easily accommodate.
B.
Procedures and Standards: 2.10.08. Planned Development (PD)
Regulations and Procedures.
(Ordinance 2017-13 adopted 10/2/2017)
A.
Intent. The purpose of the form districts is to increase the
range of options for development in select nodes within Buda while
still preserving the character and appearance of Buda by regulating
the form of the development. The form model is used to establish the
intent and general scale of development. Each of the eight (8) form
districts has corresponding regulations. There are eight (8) form
districts:
1.
Form District 1 (F1) contains minimal development aside from
those functions related to recreation and community gathering. Form
District 1 (F1) is intended to protect the most sensitive landscapes,
ecosystems and habitats within Buda and ensure public access to Garlic
Creek and Onion Creek.
2.
Form District 2 (F2) - Reserved.
3.
Form District 3 (F3) supports a mix of small-to-medium sized
building types with predominantly residential uses on an interconnected
street network.
4.
Form District 3H (F3H) supports a mix of small-to-medium sized
building types with predominantly residential uses within the Downtown
Node and Historic Overlay. Development in Form District 3H (F3H) must
match the existing character and form of the existing fabric of Buda’s
historic downtown.
5.
Form District 4 (F4) consists of a mixed-use urban fabric. It
may have a wide range of building types, setbacks and street types
and can be used to transition from higher to lower intensity development.
The intent of Form District 4 (F4) is to reinforce appropriate scale
development and encourage uses that are compatible with existing residential
and provide a transition from a residential, neighborhood to a mixed
use core.
6.
Form District 4H (F4H) consists of a mixed-use urban fabric
within the Downtown Node and Historic Overlay. Development in Form
District 4H (F4H) may have a wide range of building types, setbacks
and street types and can be used to transition from higher to lower
intensity development but must match the existing character and form
of the existing fabric of Buda’s historic downtown.
7.
Form District 5 (F5) consists of higher density mixed-use buildings
that accommodate retail, offices, townhomes and apartments. It should
have a tight network of streets, with wide sidewalks, steady street
tree planting and buildings set close to the sidewalks.
8.
Form District 5H (F5H) preserves the existing historic commercial
buildings and new compatible infill to accommodate retail, offices,
townhouses and apartments. It should have a tight network of streets,
with wide sidewalks, steady street tree plantings and buildings set
close to the sidewalks and must match the existing character and form
of the existing fabric of Buda’s historic downtown.
