All the districts except the A and F Districts shall have a separate and distinct counterpart referred to as planned residential districts, planned business districts, and planned industrial parks. The purpose of a planned district shall be to permit and regulate the uses permitted under this chapter in the equivalent district, and to further provide for and encourage flexibility in the location of buildings, structures, roads and drives, variations in yards, and open spaces, subsequent to plan approval by the Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council. It is the intent to allow the development of tracts of land to their fullest extent, observing the general intent and spirit of this chapter. Along the periphery of the planned developments, yards shall be provided as required by the regulations of the district in which the development is located.
