"Planned Unit Development District" as used in this Ordinance, may be superimposed over existing zoning districts as hereinafter provided for the following purposes:
(a) To produce a development which would be as good or better than that resulting from the lot-by-lot development by applying to large areas, whether consisting of consolidated lots or un-subdivided property, the same principles and purposes inherent in the required provisions applying to the individual lot or minimum area parcels.
(b) To correlate comprehensively the provisions of this and other ordinances and codes of the City, to permit development which would provide a desirable and stable environment in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan for the City and that of the surrounding area.
(c) To permit flexibility that will encourage a more creative approach in the development of land and will result in a more efficient, esthetic and desirable use of open area while at the same time maintain substantially the same population density and area coverage permitted in the zone in which the project is located.
(d) To permit flexibility in design, placement of buildings, use of open spaces, circulation facilities and off-street parking areas, and to best utilize the potentials of site characterized by special features of geography, topography, size or shape.
