Land Use & Zoning

In South Dakota, a 'Planned Unit Development' (PUD) differs from standard zoning in that:

APUDs are only for commercial developments
BPUDs allow flexibility in land use and building placement in exchange for overall planning that serves public interests✓ Correct
CPUDs do not require government approval
DPUDs eliminate the need for individual building permits

Explanation

A PUD allows developers to create mixed-use developments with flexible lot sizes, setbacks, and uses that may not conform to standard zoning, in exchange for providing public benefits such as open space, infrastructure, or affordable housing. PUDs require government approval through a master plan review.
