The Planning Commission may recommend approval of a final development plan to the City Council, provided the Planning Commission finds that the facts submitted with the application and presented at the public hearing(s) establish beyond reasonable doubt that:
(A) Each individual unit of the development can exist as an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability, and the uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses but instead will have a beneficial effect which could not be achieved under another zoning district;
(B) The streets and thoroughfares proposed meet the standards of the city's Growth Management Program and adequate utility service can be supplied to all phases of the development;
(C) Any commercial component is justified economically at the location(s) proposed;
(D) Any residential component will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and community and will result in densities no higher than that permitted by the General Plan;
(E) Any industrial component conforms to applicable desirable standards and will constitute an efficient, well-organized development with adequate provisions for railroad and/or truck access and necessary storage and will not adversely affect adjacent or surrounding development;
(F) Any deviation from the standard zoning requirements is warranted by the design and additional amenities incorporated in the final development plan which offer certain unusual redeeming features to compensate for any deviations that may be permitted;
(G) The area surrounding the P-D District can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development; and
(H) The P-D District conforms with the General Plan of the city.
