The zone establishes a more comprehensive review procedure with flexibility in development standards to accommodate existing features. It is intended that areas within the PAD Zone are developed in a manner that will reflect the unique character of the congruous area upon which the zoning exists whether it be natural conditions or the built environment.

Any proposed project including, but not limited to, division of land, site plan or any grading wholly or partially within a Preservation and Development Zone shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter.
