The objectives for an R-PUD Planned Unit Development District are as follows
(a) A mixed choice of living and working environments by allowing a variety of housing and building types and by permitting an increased density per acre and a reduction in lot dimensions, building setbacks and area requirements;
(b) A more useful pattern of open space and recreation areas;
(c) A development pattern which preserves and utilizes natural topography and geographic features, scenic vistas and trees and other vegetation, and which prevents the disruption of natural drainage patterns;
(d) A more efficient use of land than is generally achieved through conventional development, resulting in substantial saving through shorter utilities and streets; and
(e) A development pattern in harmony with the land use, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Municipality is also prepared to accept a greater population density in undeveloped areas than that reflected by present zoning, provided that the developer can demonstrate that any increment of public cost clearly attributable to increased densities will be compensated by the private amenities and public benefits to be achieved by the plan of development.
