The planned unit development (PUD) is a development
process which allows some variance from the strict application of
bulk area and open space requirements of the zone district regulations
imposed in this chapter. The purpose of the PUD is to allow flexibility
and innovative design in development which will result in more economical
use of land, provide for streets and utilities, improve the quality
of development, preserve the natural and scenic features of land as
open space and avoid development in potentially hazardous areas.
At least once every twelve months, the planning
director shall review all building permits which have been issued
for the planned unit and shall examine the construction which has
taken place on the site. If he finds a violation of any of the provisions
of this chapter or of the terms and conditions of the planned unit
approval, he shall forward a report of this information to the City
council. The City council shall hold a hearing on the report of violations
submitted by the planning director, having first given notice to the
planned unit applicant and all owners of abutting property. Upon review
of the alleged violations, the City council may, if it deems necessary,
require that appropriate action be taken to remedy the violations,
amend or modify the planned unit or revoke approval of the planned
unit development.
