(A) (1) In order to foster the attractiveness of a “PD” (Planned Development) District and its surrounding neighborhoods, preserve property values, provide an efficient road and utility network, ensure the movement of traffic, implement comprehensive planning and better serve the public health, safety and general welfare, the following criteria apply to master site plans.
(2) These criteria shall neither be regarded as inflexible requirements, nor are they intended to discourage creativity or innovation.
(B) Insofar as practicable, the landscape shall be preserved in its natural state by minimizing tree and soil removal.
(C) Proposed buildings shall be sited harmoniously to the terrain and to other buildings in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed buildings.
(D) With respect to vehicular and pedestrian circulation and parking, special attention shall be given to the location and number of access points to public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and the arrangement of parking areas that are safe and convenient and, insofar as practicable, do not detract from the design of proposed structures and neighboring properties.
(E) Private streets and gates may be approved as part of the application, but are not required. They shall conform to Division 11 of this chapter.
