The SUD authorization serves to encourage unified development of a geographic area. Deviation from specific site development standards is both allowable and desirable as long as the general purposes for the standards are achieved. The development should promote a harmonious variety or grouping of uses and may utilize the economy of shared services and facilities. It is further the purpose of authorized SUDs to utilize:
a. Advances in technology and design.
b. A comprehensive development equal to or better than resulting from traditional lot-by-lot land use development, in which the design of the overall area permits increased freedom in the placement and uses of buildings and the location of open spaces, circulation facilities, off-street parking areas and other facilities.
c. The potential of sites characterized by special features including but not limited to geography, topography, size, shape, historic or architectural significance, and location.
d. Compliance with state and federal regulations.
