The purpose and intent of the P-R-C zone is to provide for the establishment of a planned retirement community type of development, accessible to or providing within it most of the day- to-day recreational, medical, retail, commercial and similar services required by the residents thereof, in accordance with the comprehensive development plan approved by the Planning Board and so designed as to achieve a maximum of coordination between the development and the surrounding uses, including a maximum of safety, convenience and amenity for the residents of the development. Such developments are limited to areas that have adequate highway access, public water and sewer, and public services. Consideration must be given to the size of development (in acres) and the use of the site when determining whether day-to-day services and public facilities must be provided. Such developments must be designed to have a minimum of impact upon surrounding land and to provide adequate open spaces adjacent to their boundaries.
In addition, it is the purpose of this zone to preserve and take the greatest possible aesthetic advantage of existing trees and to minimize the amount of grading necessary for construction of a development.
