Planned unit development (PUD)

A combination of different yet compatible land uses within a single neighborhood, development, or subdivision. PUD's usually contain residential areas often characterized by multi-unit condominiums or townhomes, although groups of single-family homes are also common. The design of PUD's usually encourages high-density housing and maximum utilization of open space. In addition to residential areas, planned unit developments often contain commercial, recreational, light industrial, and specially zoned areas. Property located within PUD's can usually be described as deminimus.
