A planned unit development, or PUD, is a unique zoning district with negotiated land uses and development standards approved by a city council for a specific piece of property. PUDs are adopted as amendments to the zoning ordinance and must be approved by city council. They are tailored to particular locations and property uses. While PUDs allow developers greater flexibility outside of the typical zoning standards, they also require that the quality of the development must be equal or better than what would be outlined by standard zoning. PUDs are often adopted for residential and commercial properties. Once a PUD is adopted for a piece of property, it will transfer along with the property to any subsequent owners. Round Rock City Council recently approved a PUD for the Nutty Brown Amphitheater relocation. This PUD allows for additional signs on the property, non-paved parking and building changes that existing zoning would prevent. Because of the specific use of the property—an amphitheater—the PUD will allow for those changes.
