In deciding what their advice should be, the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals shall consider the following criteria:

         (a)   The extent to which the proposed development is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and with the purposes of this subchapter and of all other applicable codes and ordinances;

         (e)   Any other reasonable criteria that the Planning Commission or Zoning Board of Appeals may devise.

After the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals have submitted their advisory report, the City Council, by resolution, shall either approve or disapprove the PUD development plan. The City Council’s decision to approve or disapprove is final, and not appealable under this chapter.

      (3)   The City Council shall not approve any PUD development plan unless:

         (a)   The applicant has posted a performance bond or escrow deposit in the amount equal to 50% of the cost of constructing the required improvements as certified by a registered professional engineer of Illinois;

         (b)   The proposed PUD, as evidenced by the site development plan, complies with all applicable codes;
