Planned Unit Development (PUD)

 

What Will It Cover?

This subject area will look at different options for review and approval of larger development projects in the District.  Issues include the limits of matter-of-right development, the relationship between density and public benefits, the role of government agencies and community groups in development, and other issues relating to discretionary review of large developments. The PUD Working Group will focus on discretionary review zoning processes that enable more flexible development options, often in conjunction with additional height or density and with superior design and public benefits.   We will examine the existing PUD system and discuss possible changes and improvements.  If you’d like to learn more about the current PUD process in advance of our first meeting, you can review Chapter 24 of the Zoning Regulations, found here.
