Regulations regarding lot dimensions, building floor area, building heights, and building setbacks shall be established as part of the development plan approval by the Planning Commission, guided by the following:
(a) Lot Requirements. Lot sizes and lot widths may be varied to allow for a variety of structural designs and mix of land uses.
(b) Building and Parking Setbacks:

(2) Minimum Perimeter Landscaped Buffer Area: Buildings, structures and parking areas shall be located on the site to provide the minimum perimeter landscaped buffer area set forth in Table 1158.08(a). Modifications in the width or use of the perimeter setback may be permitted when unique conditions warrant such modifications, including opportunities for connectivity to adjacent uses and developments, density of existing wooded areas, and limited future development potential of adjacent parcels.
(c) Building Form Requirements. Additional regulations governing building form, such as building height, and building footprint are set forth in Table 1158.08(a).
