Planned Unit Development
Under Virginia land use law, A Planned Unit Development is a designed grouping of varied and compatible land uses, such as housing, recreation, commercial centers, and industrial parks, all within one contained development or subdivision.
Both Albemarle County[1] and Charlottesville zoning allows for PUDs under state code. [2]

History
In Charlottesville, PUDs were formerly an overlay district, but later became an ad hoc zoning districts without an underlying zone.[3] This caused problems for the Rock Creek Village PUD, which was approved in 1985 as an overlay but built in 2010.[3]
In 2006, a requirement was added that PUDs must consist of more than 2 acres of land.[4] The Planning Commission public hearing was held on the same day the Franklin Street PUD, a proposal for seven units on a 0.84 acre parcel, was unanimously rejected.
On January 3, 2023, City Council will consider initiating a zoning text amendment to remove the 2-acre requirement.[5][6]
