CLUSTER HOUSING & PLANNED

UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)

CLUSTER HOUSING

 A subdivision technique where dwellings are grouped close

together with a common area left for recreation .In effect
residents have extremely small yards but can enjoy the
Large common spaces.
RESIDENTIAL CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

 Residential Cluster Development, or conservation

development.
 is the grouping of residential properties on a development
site in order to use the extra land as open space,
recreation or agriculture.
 ADVANTAGES:

 Green/public space
 Closer community and
 An optimal storm water management
 TWO TYPES OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

 Townhouse Development - is a type of medium-density housing in

cities, usually but not necessarily terraced (row housing)or semi-
detached.
 One of its example is Metro Gate in Trece Martires City
 TWO TYPES OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

 Super Development
 Examples:
 Bonifacio Global City
 TWO TYPES OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

 Super Development
 Examples:
 Crofton, Maryland
PURPOSES OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT
 Promote integrated site design that is considerate to the natural
features and topography.
 Protect environmentally sensitive areas of the development site.
 Preserve important natural features ,prime agricultural land, and
open Space.
 Minimize non-point source pollution through reducing the area of
impervious surfaces on site.
 Encourage saving costs on infrastructure and maintenance, such as
decreasing the area that needs to be paved.
 Create more area for open space, recreation and more social
interaction
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
 Planned unit development as a land use concept began in the 1950s
and 1960s.
 Is a type of building development and also a regulatory process.
 A designed grouping of both varied and compatible land uses, such
as housing, recreation, commercial centers, and industrial parks,
all within one contained development or subdivision.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
 Is one of the primary advantages of a planned unit development.
 use a layout that features clusters of homes and large open spaces
or commercial areas.
 PUDs often include extensive sidewalks and wide roads or bicycle
paths, making it convenient to get around the development by
multiple means.
 One of the special zoning aspect is the ability to build homes in
closer proximity.
 PUD residents also share public spaces like parks and recreation
areas, more time to socialize with neighbours.
 PRINCIPLES OF PUD
 Houses and placement of houses
 Streets
 Sidewalks and Pedestrian ways
 Combining design features
 DIFFERENT HOUSING TYPES
 Single-family, Two-family, Multiple-family.
 Are often mixed rather than separated as is done in conventional
development.
 STREETS
 Street patterns are one of the most important elements in
establishing the neighborhood character of a residential
community.
 to dispel the monotony of the typical grid plan street pattern, PUDs
often employ a hierarchy of street types.
 STREETS
 Local streets - serve only residences and have a Low traffic
volume.
 Collector streets - connect local streets to arterials, which are the
major routes of travel throughout a PUD.
 Sidewalks and pedestrian – Sidewalks and pedestrian ways of PUDs
supplement and complement street systems in establishing the
character of the neighborhood.
4 GENERAL STEPS TO DEVELOPING PUD
 Pre-application conference – The developer consults with planning
staff for ordinance and process clarification and discusses initial
project plans.

 Site plan review - The site plan review consists of a detailed site
analysis of existing features, often anon-site walk about, and a
discussion about project goals and possible design solutions.
4 GENERAL STEPS TO DEVELOPING PUD
 Preliminary development plan - The plan includes specific
documents and maps giving a legal description of the project, a
detailed site plan and supporting maps. The plan commission holds
a public hearing at which the developer presents the PUD proposal
and the planning recommendations are made available for public
review.
 Final development plan – The final plan contains the detailed
engineering drawings of the entire site and process for completion
of the project. The entire site plan for the PUD will be reviewed as a
single entity. The plan commission would, at this time, approve
recording the plat.
 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
 Area Planning
 Site Preservation
 Easements
