The Cabarros County Planning and Zoning Board shall first make a decision whether to grant approval for the requested "PUD" district. If the "PUD" request is denied, the Cabarros County Planning and Zoning board will no longer consider the request for approval of the preliminary site plan.

Approval of the proposed uses is at the sole discretion of the appropriate decision making agency. No additional conditional use permit shall be required for any conditional use listed once preliminary site plan approval is granted. Land Use Composition. The preliminary site plan for a PUD district shall not be approved unless the following mininmm percentages of land uses are provided for within the boundaries of the district. The percentage values are based on dwelling units for residential land use and square footage for non-residential land use.

All Planned Unit Developments consisting of 30 or more residential units shall provide open space in an amount equal to 10% of the residential area of the PUD or 7% of the total PUD area, whichever is greater. Active recreational areas will be required to be provided on at least 1/3 of the total required open space acreage in residential areas and 1/5 of the total required open space acreage in non-residential areas. Required open space for PUDs developed utilizing the cluster development should be calculated as indicated in Section 5-8. Active recreational areas are defined as - Any park or recreational facility that is not dependent upon a specific environmental Or natural resource, which is developed with recreation and support facilities that can be provided anywhere for the convenience of the user.
