(a) After reviewing the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the City Council shall advertise and hold a public hearing of the proposed Planned Unit Development, in accordance with the provisions specified in this Zoning Ordinance. Approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan shall be limited to the general acceptability of the land uses proposed, proposed general density levels and their interrelationship, and shall not be construed to endorse precise location of uses, configuration of parcels, or engineering feasibility which are to be determined in the subsequent preparations of the detailed Final PUD Plan(s). Approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan shall constitute the creation of a separate PUD Planned Unit Development Zoning District, and shall require a favorable vote of the majority of the membership of the City Council. In taking action, City Council may deny the Preliminary PUD Plan or may recommend approval of said plan subject to specified modifications.
(b) At the time of adopting any ordinance establishing a PUD District, the Council shall make appropriate arrangements with the owner/developer(s) which will ensure the common open space as shown on the approved Preliminary PUD Plan.
