The intent of the Planned Development (PD) Zoning District, and the manner in which it is applied, is as follows:
A. PD (Planned Development) District. The PD Zoning District is applied to areas of existing large-scale, multiple-family residential and commercial complexes developed as a planned district, and sites suitable for similar large-scale development. The PD Zoning District can also be applied to sites suitable for combined commercial, residential and/or live/work uses within a physically integrated and contiguous area.

§ 17.240.015 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS.¶
A. Requirements for the Planned Development (PD) District. Development standards, allowable land uses and permit requirements for the PD Zoning District shall be established by a Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 17.560).
B. Minimum Site Area for Rezoning. The PD Zoning District may only be applied to sites of one acre or larger.
C. Permit Requirements. All development proposed within a PD Zoning District shall require approval of a Comprehensive Plan in compliance with Chapter 17.560 (Comprehensive Plans). Land use permit requirements for changes in land use after the initial Comprehensive Plan approval may be established by the Council through the rezoning of the site to apply the PD Zoning District, and/or through the approval of the Comprehensive Plan.
D. Allowable Land Uses and Development Standards. Except as otherwise provided by this Section, allowable land uses, and site planning and development standards for the PD Zoning District shall be determined by the Council through the rezoning of the site to apply the PD District, and/or through the approval of a Comprehensive Plan in compliance with § 17.240.015.C. (Permit Requirements) above. In establishing allowable land uses and development standards, the Council shall consider the standards of the zoning districts most similar in nature and function to the uses proposed within the PD District.
E. Height. No building or structure in the PD Zone may exceed 56 feet in height, unless a height exception is granted pursuant to § 17.300.025 (Height Measurement and Height Limit Exceptions).
