§ 27-602. Mixed Use Community, PRD Development Standards.
   1.   The land area of residential components that include the uses authorized in the Residential Community PRD Standards shall be so designated on the plan and subject to and limited to the standards authorized in the Residential Community PRD, including open space requirements.
   2.   The commercial component shall be designated on the plan and subject to the specific standards of this Section, the provisions of § 27-603.1 not withstanding for the residential components.
   3.   The maximum building height shall be 65 feet.
   4.   All uses expressly authorized as permitted or conditional in the underlying zoning district shall be authorized as such in the underlying district. Additionally, mixed use buildings are authorized.
   5.   Principal structures shall provide a front yard setback of at least 50 feet.
   6.   Unless connected by party walls, structures shall provide for side and rear yard setbacks of at least 50 feet with one additional foot of setback for each foot in height above two stories. Where multiple principle structures exist on one lot, this setback shall be enforced between principal structures as well.
   7.   Thirty percent of the land area in the commercial portion shall be dedicated as common open space. Five percent of the open space required shall be provided in a central area faced by more than one principle structure and fronting a street. Said space shall be 5% or less in grade and shall provide for pedestrian usage.
   8.   Principal commercial structures shall be set back at least 50 feet from residentially designated sections of the development.
   9.   Landscaping shall be provided around the perimeter of all parking lots at a rate of one high level planting for each 50 lineal feet of perimeter, including access drives. Additionally, landscaping shall be disbursed around visible portions of the principal structure at a rate of one high level planting or one ornamental tree and four low level plantings for each 25 lineal feet of the structure’s perimeter.
   10.   The residential component of the development, those uses solely authorized in the Residential Community PRD, shall comprise at least 20% of the square footage of all uses within the PRD and no more than 60% of the total square footage.
   11.   The proportion of retail, office, and manufacturing/warehouse shall be submitted as proposed and shall be authorized given the proportion of uses reasonably related to the similar proportion in the Borough at large, determined by the most recent economic census and subsequent permit data. Employment within or regular utilization of ancillary establishment intended primarily for use by residents of the PRD shall also serve as a finding of fact or justification for approved use proportions.
   12.   All final phases approved shall contain the proportions of commercial development type commensurate with that approved in the overall or tentative approval. Same shall also include at least 20% of the land area as residential or may develop all residential in the first final phase constructed. In lieu of such provisions, a developer may submit covenants in favor of the municipality, in a form acceptable to the municipality, which restrict future development to those uses shown on the tentative plan.
   13.   Applicability of zoning ordinance provisions, subdivision and land development ordinance, and related ordinances. Unless expressly modified by the standards of this Section, all other requirements of this Chapter, the local subdivision and land development ordinance, and local street, grading, and other land development standards shall apply to developments proposed under this Section. Such ordinance standards may be modified only when the developer demonstrates that literal enforcement will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question, provided that such modification will not be contrary to the public interest and that the purpose and intent of the ordinance is observed; or that a modification meets or exceeds standards meeting the purpose or intent of the ordinance in question. The above shall not withstand all standard post approval requirements instituted by the local subdivision and land development ordinance, namely the required posting of financial security for streets, public improvements, and certain private amenities.
