(2) Permanent preservation of common open space and recreation areas end facilities.
(3) A pattern of development to preserve natural vegetation, topographic and geologic features.
(4) A creative approach to the use of land and related physical facilities that results in
better development and design and the construction of aesthetic amenities.
(5) An efficient use of the land resulting in more economic networks of utilities, streets and other facilities.
(6) A land use which promotes the public health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare.
(B) The planned unit development is intended to provide for developments incorporating a single type or a variety of related uses which are planned and developed as a unit. The planned unit development may provide amenities not otherwise required by law and should establish facilities and open space greater than the minimums required by law. Such development may consist of conventionally subdivided lots or provide for development by a planned unit development plat which establishes the location and extent of the features of the planned unit development in keeping with the purpose of the plan.
