31-3 Land use districts

Each P-C Zone shall establish land uses and development patterns, densities, and standards unique to that zone. Upon approval, through the process set forth in this chapter, the established land uses and development patterns and densities shall be established pursuant to the P-C Zone Plan and one or more development agreements. The P-C Zone may consist of any number or combination of the following land use districts that shall be identified in the Community Structure Plan as provided in this chapter. Planning Staff will ensure that an appropriate mixture of land use districts are provided in the proposed Planned Community prior to allowing the application to proceed through the approval process. Specific land uses proposed in the P-C Zone may only be established in conformance with provisions of this chapter. (1) Neighborhood: This category is designed for comparatively low density mixed use development that emphasizes residential (single and multi-family) use, but also includes office, commercial, public/semi-public, and recreation/open space uses. This category may accommodate gross residential densities between three (3) to six (6) units per acre. A gross residential density allowing eight (8) units per acre may be accommodated, if the preserved land is allocated as additional open space or common areas within and/or immediately adjacent to the specific area utilizing the increased density. (2) Village: This category is designed for medium density mixed use development that includes residential (single and multi-family), office, commercial, public/semipublic, and recreation/open space uses, without a predetermined emphasis on any single use. This category may accommodate gross residential densities between seven (7) and twenty (20) units per acre. A gross residential density allowing twenty-five (25) units per acre may be accommodated, if the preserved land is allocated as additional open space or common areas within and/or immediately adjacent to the specific area utilizing the increased density (beyond the required percentages defined in section 31-12 (A) of this chapter). (3) Town Center: This category is designed for high density mixed use development that emphasizes office, commercial and recreational uses, but also includes residential (single and multi-family), public/semi-public, and open space uses. Town center gross residential densities may be approved to exceed 20 units per acre, as deemed appropriate by the County, and may require additional allocations for open space, common areas, and/or recreational amenities within and/or immediately adjacent to the specific area utilizing the increased density. (4) Business, Research, Technology or Educational Campus: This category is designed to accommodate a campus dedicated to a mixture of business uses: office, commercial, industrial, technological, recreational, and public/semi-public uses; or to an educational institution, including classrooms, laboratories, offices, housing, educational facilities of all types and other related uses. (5) Open Space: Landscaped area, natural area or farmland that is established to provide and preserve outdoor recreational, agricultural, or other similar uses. In addition to the open space district, areas of open space may also be provided within the other land use districts as well, which may include open space and common areas as defined in section 31-12 (A) of this chapter.
