Planned area development (PAD)
A zoning process governing the development of relatively large areas to provide for various types and combinations of land uses (single- and multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, recreational areas, open spaces, buffer zones, etc.) The PAD process allows for greater flexibility and creativity in development plans than generally exist under most zoning regulations. Planned area development can also serve as a permanent type of zoning district.
