All PD-H projects shall comply with the following design review criteria:
(a) When a PD-H project adjoins a residential zoning district without an intervening secondary or major street or a permanent open space at least 15 feet wide, then a 15-foot open space buffer shall be provided. This buffer requirement may be waived by the director when topography makes buffering unnecessary;
(b) All intensive recreational uses, such as play courts, ball fields, tot lots, and swimming pools, shall be set back a minimum of 25 feet from all adjoining residential districts and 25 feet from the walls of dwelling units within the planned development project. This requirement may be waived by the director when topography or the installation of landscaping or a fence or wall or other design features makes the setback unnecessary;
(c) A minimum of 50 percent of the land area of the project shall be maintained in open space;
(d) Minor streets within the project shall not be connected to streets outside the development in such a way as to encourage the use of minor streets for through traffic;
(e) Walkways may be required for pedestrian access to all dwelling units and project facilities; and
(f) The director may establish supplemental design guidelines further illustrating the above site design standards.
