PRD Overlay Zone. This overlay zone is to provide alternative zoning regulations which permit and encourage design flexibility, conservation and protection of natural critical areas, and innovation in residential developments to those regulations found in the underlying zone. It is intended that a Planned Residential Development will result in a residential environment of higher quality than traditional lot -by -lot development by use of a design process which includes within the site design all the components of a residential neighborhood, such as open space, circulation, building types, and natural features, in a consonant with the public health, safety, and welfare. It is also intended that a Planned Residential Development may combine a number of land use decisions such as conditional use permits, rezones, and subdivisions into a single project review process to encourage timely public hearings and decisions and to provide for more open space and transitional housing densities than is required or may be permitted between single family ial zones of differing density. The consolidation of permit reviews does not exempt applicant(s) from meeting the regulations and submitting the fees and applications normally required for the underlying permit processes. Few nonresidential uses are allowed in this overlay zone and then only conditionally, because of land use impacts associated with nonresidential uses.
