(a) Within thirty days after the date of the hearing provided for in Section 1278.10, Council, by ordinance, shall act upon the preliminary planned unit development plan and zone change application provided for in Section 1278.07. Approval of the plan shall be limited to the general acceptability of the land use proposed, proposed general density levels and their interrelationships. Approval shall not be construed as an endorsement of the precise location of uses, configuration of parcels or engineering feasibility, all of which are to be determined in the subsequent preparation of the detailed final planned unit development plan. Approval of the preliminary planned unit development plan shall constitute the creation of a separate R-PUD Planned Unit Development District.
(b) In taking action after the hearing, Council may also deny the preliminary planned unit development plan or may approve it subject to specified modifications. If Council denies the recommendation of the a Planning Board or approves the preliminary planned unit development plan subject to specified modifications, it must do so by a vote of at least five votes of the members of Council.
