Land Use & Zoning
A 'planned unit development' (PUD) differs from standard residential zoning because:

DPUDs are exclusively for commercial developments

A PUD allows the developer flexibility in lot sizes, setbacks, and uses — mixing residential, commercial, and recreational areas — in exchange for providing amenities (parks, trails) and preserving open space. The overall density is still regulated.
