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.

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.
