PUD Planned Unit Development in Moore, OK
PUD Planned Unit Development is Moore's primary tool for flexibility from the base zoning standards while ensuring quality and compatibility. PUDs are used for mixed-use developments combining residential and commercial in one project, townhome developments not allowed in standard R districts, subdivisions seeking reduced lot widths or setbacks in exchange for open space, and any project requiring multiple variances from the underlying district.
PUDs are project-specific. Once the City Council approves a PUD by ordinance, the PUD development standards become the binding regulations for the site — superseding the base district. This makes PUD attractive for atypical projects but commits the developer to design quality the underlying district would not require.
Minimum project size: residential PUDs require 3 acres; commercial / mixed-use PUDs require 1 acre. PUD applications go through Pre-Application Meeting → Planning Commission Public Hearing → City Council Public Hearing (final approval by ordinance). Total timeline: typically 90-120 days.
