Section 11-X302. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION TYPES

302.1   A PUD request may be filed as either a one-stage, consolidated, or a two-stage application.

302.2   A two-stage application has two (2) parts as follows:

(a) The first-stage application involves a general review of the site’s suitability as a PUD and any related map amendment; the appropriateness, character, scale, height, mixture of uses, and design of the uses proposed; and the compatibility of the proposed development with the Comprehensive Plan, and city-wide, ward, and area plans of the District of Columbia, and the other goals of the project; and

(b) The second-stage application is a detailed site plan review to determine transportation management and mitigation, final building and landscape materials and compliance with the intent and purposes of the first-stage approval, and this title.

302.3   A consolidated application shall incorporate all information and material for both a first- and second-stage application as required by Subtitle Z §§ 300.11 and 300.12 into one (1) application, and all information shall be submitted at the time of initial filing.

302.4   When the Zoning Commission considers whether to set down a consolidated application for a hearing, the Zoning Commission shall determine whether the application is sufficiently clear and detailed to be considered at one (1) proceeding.

302.5   The Zoning Commission reserves the right to direct an applicant to revise a consolidated application into a two-stage application, if in the opinion of the Zoning Commission the circumstances and issues surrounding the proposal require a two-stage review.

302.6   If any proposed use or building would require a special exception under the existing zoning for the site, but the special exception would not be required if a proposed map amendment is granted, the Zoning Commission need not consider the special exception nor refer the application to the Board of Zoning Adjustment for its consideration.

302.7   The Zoning Commission may dismiss or deny the application at the conclusion of the presentation of the applicant’s case or at any point thereafter.
