ARTICLE II — Amendments to Existing PUDs
Sec. 27-2-10. Overview of PUD amendments.
A. A PUD zoning plat or final plat may be amended in accordance with this Article II. An
application may be submitted for amendments to both a zoning plat and a final plat
concurrently.
B The proposed amendment shall maintain compatibility within the PUD and to adjacent
surrounding uses, as determined by the Board of County Commissioners.
C. The proposed amendment shall not create or increase any nonconformity.
D Any change to the allowed uses or setbacks within a PUD requires the signatures of all
owners of property within the PUD on the application or authorization form for the
amendment and, if approved, all owners must sign an affidavit on a form provided by staff
acknowledging the allowed uses or setbacks. The affidavit and Board's resolution will be
recorded by the Department of Planning Services at the expense of the applicant.
E Any change to a recorded PUD final plat requires a survey and new PUD final plat showing
the amendment and containing the signature of the owner of any lot affected by the
amendment as described in Section 27-2-30 below. An amendment to a PUD final plat
shall not change the allowed uses or setbacks within a PUD without the approval and
recording of an amendment to the PUD zoning.
F Platted PUD lots may not be further subdivided.
G Lot lines may be adjusted, lots may be combined, and building or septic envelopes may
be removed in accordance with Section 27-2-30 without amending a PUD zoning plat.
The exterior boundaries of a PUD shall not be changed by any amendment.
A portion of a PUD zoning plat may not be changed to a zoning district other than PUD.
The entire area of a PUD zoning plat may be changed to one (1) or more zoning districts
listed in Chapter 23, Zoning, of this Code, by following the process in Division 1, Article II,
Chapter 23. Approval and recording of such a Change of Zone would result in the vacation
of the PUD zoning plat. The PUD final plat then would be treated as a Minor Subdivision
if it contains fewer than ten (10) buildable lots and all lots are located in the same zoning
district. , • . Amendments to such final
plats would follow the resubdivision process in Article IX of Chapter 24 of this Code.
J A PUD may be vacated in its entirety if the property is all under identical ownership and a
Change of Zone to another zoning district is approved in accordance with Chapter 23,
Article II, Division 1, of this Code. No PUD shall be partially vacated. Vacation of a PUD
final plat results in one (1) lot with a metes and bounds or aliquot legal description.
K Criteria for approval. The PUD amendment must:
