IMPACT Maximum lot coverage and accessory building square footage will default to the PUD’s adopted base zoning district unless otherwise specified in the PUD’s development regulations. Section 30 – PUD District REVISION 30.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT 30.9(C) DEVELOPMENT PLAN Remove references to mixed use developments.
