Sec. 656.343. - Planned Unit Development—Satellite Community (PUD-SC).

A proposed Planned Unit Development over 1,000 acres that is located outside the urban service boundary shall be designed and developed as a Planned Unit Development Satellite Community. A PUD-SC is a mixed use development that includes a residential component, employment center(s) (commercial and office uses), and supporting public facilities. A centrally located park or square will become the focal point of the community, around which commercial, public, and high-density residential uses will be located. Vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access are required between community centers and emphasize an interconnected network of streets, bicycle paths, and pedestrian walkways. Residential neighborhoods within satellite communities may contain appropriately scaled supporting neighborhood commercial nodes. The intent of this Subpart is to guide development in the outlying areas of the City into compact satellite communities. This development pattern will: (a) Allow residents to shop and work nearby, reducing the traffic congestion and extended work-based automobile trips from the exclusive development of single-family homes in the outlying areas. (b) Increase the mobility of the elderly and the young, with shopping and institutional uses located within walking distance of residences. (c) Reduce public and private costs associated with the provision of urban services. (d) Increase opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle mobility and reduce automobile trips. (e) Distribute automobile traffic within the village onto an established hierarchy of through streets. (Ord. 91-59-148, § 1)
