1155.01 INTENT AND OBJECTIVES.
   It is the intent of this chapter to accommodate creative and imaginative Planned Unit
Developments and to permit those innovations in land development which are in the best interest of the City. In order to accomplish this intent, it is the purpose of this chapter:
   (a)    To permit, in a Planned Unit Development, a variety of architectural designs, structural techniques and types of structures in a maximum density permitted within the district in which the Planned Unit Development is proposed except as provided in Section 1155.05.
   (b)    To permit the flexible spacing of lots and buildings in order to encourage separation of pedestrian and vehicular circulation, the conservation of natural amenities of the landscape, the provision of readily accessible open space, the creation of functional and interesting residential areas and the provision of a necessary complement of community facilities;
   (c)    To permit, with the approval of the Planning Commission and Council, commercial uses in residential Planned Unit Developments, even if the underlying zone is residential only where such uses are intended to benefit primarily the residents of the Planned Unit Development or where the Planned Unit Development is larger than two acres in size; and
   (d)    To permit mixed uses (residential/commercial, commercial/industrial, etc.) where the Planned Unit Development includes more than one underlying zone.
