OVERVIEW:
The Planned Unit Development designation is a conditional zoning district intended to provide a flexible approach for unique and innovative land development proposals, which could not be accomplished under conventional zoning. A PUD establishes permitted uses and specific development requirements. A Conceptual Development Plan illustrates the general location and intensity of the land uses within the development. A PUD does not approve any specific development itself, but establishes the parameters for how a site can be developed. A PUD must be developed in accordance with the standards established in the approved PUD agreement and must comply with all other applicable development regulations such as stormwater, landscaping, tree preservation, traffic, etc.
A preliminary plat is a recording of the subdivision of land into individual lots or parcels which allows for the construction of infrastructure through the approval of construction plans. The applicant submitted to the City of Edgewater for review of the preliminary plat on June 4th, 2024. Five (5) subsequent reviews have taken place; the Technical Review Committee has reviewed the following preliminary plat and construction plans and has found that the development meets the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan.

The contracted City surveyor has also reviewed the preliminary plat and the comments have been addressed in the most recent submittal.
