urban street. It is the primary area of development and shall be the major
retail component of the PUD. The limits of sub -area "A" shall be defined as
the outside edge of the outer private circulation drive as shown on the sub area
plan.

PEARLAND TOWN CENTER
PUD (PD District) Ordinance
October 3, 2005 Rev. luny Y. 2008
Page 4
sub -area is the front door to the development and will establish the
developments overall character. Due to the proximity of this sub -area to the
