Land Use & Zoning

In North Dakota, a 'planned unit development' (PUD) differs from conventional zoning in that:

APUDs are only allowed in Fargo
BPUDs allow flexible mixed uses, varied setbacks, and densities in exchange for providing amenities, with review of a comprehensive plan✓ Correct
CPUDs eliminate all design standards
DPUDs are only for commercial properties

Explanation

A PUD allows developers to depart from standard zoning requirements by providing a comprehensive development plan. In exchange for design flexibility (mixed uses, varied densities), developers often provide amenities like parks, open space, or affordable units.
