Board of Zoning Appeals · May 12, 2026

Summary

Presenter said commercial mixed-use PUDs may include residential and a wide range of commercial uses, must be at least 2 acres, cannot exceed 40% total building coverage, and must provide landscaping and buffering (10% minimum landscaping in some cases).

The presenter described commercial mixed-use planned unit developments (CMU PUDs) as projects that may combine residential activities with retail, offices, food service, entertainment, medical facilities and lodging. "Each CMU PUD must cover at least 2 acres with a 40 foot front setback, a 10 foot landscape front yard, and a 40 foot peripheral building setback," the presenter said.

Presenter also recited limits on building massing and site coverage: "No building may exceed 3 stories or 35 feet in height... The total building coverage cannot exceed 40% of the site." The training emphasized that planning commission discretion may adjust yard, buffering or improvement standards to protect access, safety and health when mixed uses are proposed adjacent to residential or agricultural areas.
