A. No planned unit development shall have an area of less than two (2) acres.
B. A planned unit development which will contain uses not permitted in the zoning district in which it is to be located will require a change of zoning district and shall be accompanied by an application for a zoning amendment; provided further, that in single-family residential zones, only single-family dwellings may be allowed in the planned unit development. Hotels, motels, lodges, mobile home parks, etc., shall not be considered residential uses for the purpose of this chapter.
C. The development shall be in single, partnership, or corporate ownership, or under option to purchase by an individual or a corporate entity at the time of application or the application shall be filed jointly by all owners of the property.
D. The planning commission shall require such arrangement of structures and open spaces within the site development plan, as necessary, to assure that adjacent properties will not be adversely affected. Lot area, lot width, yard and coverage regulations shall be determined by approval of the site plan.
E. Preservation, maintenance and ownership of required open space within the development shall be accomplished by:
1. Dedication of the land as a public park or parkway system in accordance with Utah Code Annotated section 10-9a-607; or
2. Complying with the provisions of the condominium ownership act of 1963, title 57, chapter 8, Utah Code Annotated, 1953, as amended, which provides for the payment of common expenses for the upkeep of the common areas and facilities; or

F. Landscaping, fencing and screening related to the uses within the site and as a means of integrating the proposed development into its surroundings shall be planned and presented to the planning commission for approval, together with other required plans for the development.
G. Open space must be provided in every planned unit development. Open space is the part of a planned unit development which is accessible and usable by all persons occupying dwelling units in the planned unit development. It is any parcel or area of land or water that is improved or unimproved, and serves the purposes of preservation of natural resources, outdoor recreation, or public health and safety. Open space is land permanently set aside for conservation or recreation purposes. It may include woodlands, play areas, walking and riding trails, wetlands and lands in the floodplain as well as land use for passive or active recreation. By way of illustration only, open space shall not be provided from any required front or side yard, parking area, driveway or street.
