Jericho planners propose a three-factor test to narrow when PUDs are required

Staff recommended requiring Planned Unit Development (PUD) review only when three conditions align: a major subdivision (4+ lots), location in districts with open-space purpose, and presence of mapped site resources; commission directed staff to tailor trigger lists by district.
