What exactly is a Planned Unit Development?

Is a Planned Unit Development (PUD)  a thing or a place that binds all homeowners together? Not hardly.


PUD is simply a type of development and the regulatory process that permits a developer to meet overall community density and land use goals without being bound by existing zoning requirements. Potential benefits from the incorporation of a variety of building types and mixed land uses: more efficient site design, lower costs for street construction along with utility extension and lower maintenance cost for the developer.

The Cliff Note Definition:  A PUD is all for the purpose of the developer and the money it will or will not cost him.
