Chapter 17.51 outlines the regulations for Planned Residential Developments (PRDs) in a specific area. The purpose of this chapter is to provide for small- and large-scale developments that incorporate various housing types and related uses, while accommodating the needs of a growing and diversified community. PRDs may consist of individual lots or common building sites, and commonly owned land should be related to and preserve the long-term value of the overall project. The chapter encourages creative housing types, affordable housing, innovative site planning techniques, and preservation of natural site amenities.

The PRD designation is utilized as an overlay on residential zones, and single-family cottage housing PRDs are allowed in specific zoning districts. The procedures for original PRD applications are outlined, and plans must be submitted in sufficient detail to enable evaluation by the planning department. The plans must include a site plan, declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, and other necessary information.

The chapter also outlines the standards for PRDs, including the maximum number of dwelling units, open space and recreation requirements, and underlying zone requirements. Minimum lot width, lot area, and bulk requirements are specified for single-family dwellings and duplex dwellings. Optional submittal requirements are provided for applicants who choose to utilize the optional PRD standards for proposing a zero lot line development.
