Southaven Code of Ordinances § 12-45
in effectSec. 12-45. - Relation to planned unit development (PUD).
(a) Any portion of a tract zoned as a PUD district may be submitted for approval as a major subdivision, provided that the PUD district zoning regulations governing the approval of a preliminary site plan are met. In submitting any PUD subdivision for approval, the prior action of the planning commission and the appropriate legislative body in granting the zoning application shall be sufficient preliminary plat approval within the meaning of this chapter. No preliminary plat specified in this chapter shall be required.
(b) The basic purpose of PUD is to allow flexibility in the development of planned communities. PUD is intended to facilitate total density control as an alternative to regulation of individual lot size, harmonious development of mixed land uses, creative alternatives to traditional standards for minimum improvements, and development of attractive and functional common areas for recreational and other purposes. Within the general limitations of the comprehensive plan, the intent of this title and the public interest, convenience, safety and welfare, the planning commission may consider this purpose and may waive or modify any requirements of chapters 3 and 4 of this title.
