P -C PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT
SECTION 19-100 PURPOSE OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT - The Planned
Community District provisions are intended to establish a needed level of pre-
planning fo.r develo Anent of large tracts of land and to encourage innovative
design solutions while retaining good land use relationships and'compatibili.ty
of uses. A specific function is to facilitate, the .variation :of standards- of
the Zoning_and Subdivision Ordinances, under proper planning, to achieve
unique and innovative community design wherever it can be demonstrated that
such variation will. result in an environment superior to that possible under
normal applica.tion,;of standards. The P -C District is -intended to be empl..oyed
principally at the developing fringe of'the urban area where large tracts of
agricultural or vacant Tands are being urbanized. The purposes of the P -C
District are more particularly the following:
19-101 To permit and encourage the unified planning of large areas
in order to achieve the variety of land uses and residential
types. which such large scale planning makes 'possible.
19-102 To provide the land developer with assurance that the overall
plan as approved under the P -C District regulations may be
carried out, unit by unit, over a period of years; and likewise
to provide the City with the assurance that the increments of
development over the years will, in terms of planning and
quality of development, be in accord with the originally
approved•P-C'District Plan.
19-103 To permit and encourage planning for the proper relationship
between the land within the.P-C Di,stric,t and the existing or
anticipated development in the surrounding area.
