A. Intent. Common open space is an essential community asset and an important
component of a development's design in a PUD. Common open space attempts to

intent of Component Five is to ensure that each development provides an
appropriate amount and type of open space within the site.

a sense of community and increase the quality and uniqueness of each site.
Common open space provides enjoyable space while adequately buffering various
uses.
1 through 6 - No Change.

provide for a fifteen-percent common open space allocation, unless

common open space based upon the site features of the applicant
site. Individual site features shall also be taken into consideration by
the Department of Planning Services upon review of the application.

of such correction is to correct one(1)or more technical errors in an approved PUD
final plan and where such correction is consistent with its approved PUD Zone
