The Residential Planned Unit Development Districts are established in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(a) To provide a Class A Residential Planned Unit Development District for low- density residential planned unit developments of detached and attached single- family dwellings, which is compatible with the One-Acre and Two-Acre Single- Family Districts;
(b) To encourage an efficient and desirable use of land and to encourage a greater variety of designs and layouts of detached and attached single-family homes on sites which are especially suited for residential planned unit development, due to characteristics such as location, neighboring uses, land formation and natural features;
(c) To protect and enhance property values and to achieve compatibility with desirable existing land uses;
(d) To protect the natural environment, to offset loss of land due to flood plain or wetland restrictions, and to minimize disruption of desirable topographical features;
(e) To minimize traffic congestion on the public streets; and
(f) To prohibit multifamily buildings in which entry to individual dwelling units is from an interior common area.
