SECTION 28.0

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONE (PUD)
City of Woodstock Zoning By-law Number 8626-10
28.1
PURPOSE
The Planned Unit Development Zone (PUD) is an alternative to conventional zoning
regulations as set out elsewhere in this By-law. The intent of this alternative is to
provide greater flexibility in building siting, mixing of housing types and land uses, to
preserve natural features and to achieve overall better design within a specified
development area. Within the PUD Zone, the prescriptive zoning standards relating
to setbacks, building coverage, etc. are discarded in favour of standards negotiated
between the proponent and the Corporation, based on a comprehensively planned
project. Conditions of approval and the signing of a development agreement with the
Corporation are also required.
28.2
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Consideration of development within the PUD Zone will only be considered where the
following documentation has been submitted for review by the Corporation:
-
a location map showing the subject lands in relation to the surrounding land
uses, existing topography and transportation network;
-
a comprehensive site development plan for the whole site outlining building/lot
locations, roads/driveways, open spaces, environmental features, parking
areas and constraints such as slope or flood plains in accordance with
municipal standards;
-
a landscaping plan indicating natural features to be preserved, new plantings
and hard landscape elements;
-
engineering plans including preliminary grading and stormwater management
plans and site servicing plans and documents;
-
such other supporting documents as is determined to be necessary to facilitate
a proper and comprehensive review of the proposal.
