This district is established to permit such flexibility and provide performance criteria which can result in planned residential developments which produce:
A. A greater choice in the type of environment and living units available to the public;
B. Open space and recreation areas;
C. A pattern of development which preserves trees, outstanding natural topography and geological features and prevents soil erosion;
D. A creative approach to the use of land and related physical development;
E. An efficient use of land resulting in more efficient use of utilities and streets;
F. An environment of stable character in harmony with surrounding development;
G. A more desirable environment than would be possible through the strict application of other sections of this title.
The planned unit development section is designed to provide for small and large scale developments incorporating a single type or a variety of residential and related uses which are planned and developed as a unit. Such development may consist of individual lots or it may group buildings on combinations of lots or tracts of land. Open space for common use must be a major element of the plan. (Ord. 2013-20)
