Planning commission leans toward district-based PUD requirement rather than NRO trigger

Jun 17, 2026

After reviewing two options for when to require planned-unit-development (PUD) review, commissioners signaled support for tying PUDs to zoning district purpose (option B) rather than relying on the mapped natural-resource-overlay (NRO) as the primary trigger.

The full story

Staff described two approaches for when PUD review should be required: (a) require PUD only when multiple criteria are present (major subdivision plus district plus mapped NRO feature) or (b) require PUD based primarily on district and major-subdivision status. "My recommendation is to go with that," the presenter said in favor of option B, which ties PUD review to the zoning district's purpose and objectives rather than letting mapped NRO features alone determine review requirements.
