Development Standards Text shall be a comprehensive narrative detailing the Development Standards for the proposed development, including without limitation the following:
(a) Design Regulations:
(1) Character. The proposed PUD shall consist of an integrated and harmonious design with properly arranged traffic and parking facilities and landscaping. The PUD shall fit harmoniously into and shall not adversely affect adjoining and surrounding properties, Roadways and public facilities.
(2) Design. Site layout, Buildings, Accessory Structures, landscaping and lighting shall be compatible with or enhance the surrounding neighborhood and community.
(3) Screening. Commercial and industrial uses, including parking facilities and refuse containers, shall be permanently screened from all adjoining residential uses.

(b) Traffic and Parking:
(1) Traffic. Adequate ingress and egress shall be provided as part of the PUD. The proposed PUD shall be located so that reasonably direct traffic access is supplied from major thoroughfares and where congestion will not likely be created by the proposed development. Where potential congestion may be alleviated by installation of Improvements on streets abutting the development, the developer shall be required to pay the cost of the construction of Improvements and shall dedicate or deed lands necessary for street widening purposes when so required by the City. A traffic study shall be provided by the applicant as required by the City.
(2) Parking. Parking shall adhere to the following standards:
A. Design. Parking and service areas shall be designed and located to protect the character of the area.
B. Non-residential Uses. Parking shall be adequate to serve the proposed uses, but shall in no case exceed one-hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the parking requirement in Section 1171.01.
C. Residential Uses. There shall not be less than three quarters (3/4) of a parking space per bedroom of combined dwelling units. Each dwelling unit shall have a minimum of one garage with interior dimensions of not less than twelve feet by twenty-two feet and shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling unit. Garages shall not be included in the calculation of the minimum number of parking spaces.
D. Bicycle Parking. Bicycle parking should be adequate to serve the proposed uses.
(c) General Requirements:
(1) Environment. The City may request environmental studies for the property, and may request and receive reports and studies from any agency having jurisdiction over the property, indicating whether there are any environmental issues that would affect the property and/or surrounding properties with the proposed development.
(2) Public Area Maintenance.
A. The developer or owner(s) of the PUD shall maintain all open spaces, parks, playgrounds and/or public recreational areas devoted to the PUD at all times.
B. The City of Ontario reserves the authority to inspect these areas to determine maintenance is done properly and regularly to retain and enhance the character of the City, and the health, safety and general welfare of the inhabitants. Failure to do so shall be considered a minor misdemeanor and subject to a one hundred fifty dollar ($150.00) fine. Each day of violation is considered a separate offense. After notice is given the developer or owner shall have thirty (30) days to comply. After such thirty (30) days, if the violation(s) has not been corrected, the City will use its own resources to correct the violation and place a lien on the property to recover its costs.
(3) Public Space Amenities. A minimum of one Public Space Amenity as approved by the Municipal Planning Commission shall be required for every five-thousand (5000) square feet of gross floor area of multiple family dwelling, commercial or industrial space that is new in the PUD. Public Space Amenities are elements that directly affect the quality and character of the public domain such as:
A. An accessible plaza or courtyard designed for public use with a minimum area of two hundred fifty (250) square feet;
