(a) Buildings and uses within the proposed development shall be located to minimize any adverse influences and to protect and enhance the character of areas adjacent to the development.
(b) Whenever a proposed development includes areas of a higher intensity or density than that permitted in adjacent areas, the location and arrangement of use areas shall include appropriate buffers, open spaces, setbacks, or other transitional areas to ensure compatibility with the lower intensity or less dense areas.
(c) Buildings, structures and parking areas shall be designed and located within the PD in ways that utilize the natural contours of the land, economize in the construction of utilities, and reduce the amount of grading to the extent practicable in order to minimize environmental impacts and conserve environmentally sensitive or unique natural, historic, or cultural features.
(d) The physical relationship of buildings and other site improvements to one another and the surrounding open space, as created by building size, mass, height, shape and setback, shall result in a harmonious development within the PD and to adjacent properties.
