A. Purpose: The purpose of the Master Planned Development (MPD) is to allow flexibility
in commercial development which is consistent with the Town’s General Plan and which exceeds minimum standards set forth in the zoning ordinance with regard to open space, public recreational features, site and/or building design, etc. (amd. ord. 24014, 10-8-24)
B. Criteria: The Town may grant approval for a Master Planned Development Agreement which: 1. Is consistent with the Town’s General Plan.
2. Pertains to a parcel zoned as General Commercial or Village Commercial, or which will be re-zoned to General Commercial or Village Commercial concurrent with the Master Planned Development process.
3. Enables the Town to obtain supplemental facilities or benefits which would not otherwise be obtained through existing regulations, standards or policies.
4. Assures quality development within the Town as well as promotes the general health, safety, and welfare of current and future Town residents.
5. A development agreement may be approved by the Town Council without regard to the size of the Master Planned Development or the amount of density associated with such development. Such an agreement may allow for development which exceeds limits contemplated in the zoning requirements contingent upon satisfaction of all the foregoing criteria.
