The C1 District provides small-scale retail, service, and office uses in close proximity to residential neighborhoods, and should be well integrated with the supporting neighborhoods character and pattern, whether suburban or walkable.
The PUD District is intended to encourage innovative land planning and site design concepts that achieve a high level of public benefits, environmental sensitivity, energy efficiency, aesthetics, high-quality development, and other community goals by:
a. Reducing or eliminating the inflexibility that may result from strict application of the standards of this Code that were designed primarily for individual lots;
b. Allowing greater freedom in selecting the means to provide access, site design, open space, and design amenities;
c. Promoting quality urban design and environmentally sensitive development by allowing development to take advantage of special site characteristics, locations, and land uses;
d. Requiring compliance with development standards that reflect the high level of public investment in adjoining lands; and
e. Facilitating implementation of the Lake Saint Louis Comprehensive Plan and development in the interest of health, safety and welfare of the residents of Lake Saint Louis.
