plat type

Planned Residential Developments – or PRDs provide greater flexibility in subdivision design over the “standard plat” process. This flexibility requires superior architectural or landscape design, open space, and environmental protection.

While PRDS were not an option for the majority of Oak Harbor’s history, in recent years their use has increased, and is significantly influencing our neighborhoods.

PRDs also afford staff the opportunity to work with applicants to achieve a number of significant benefits for the community.

lot size

While historic plats have lots sizes often above the required minimums, recent standard plats are developing lots of the minimum dimensions, and PRDs are creating lots below these parameters (densities for all remain within zoning limits).
