The intent of the Pinecrest Planned Development District (PPDD) is to foster a unified development that permits specific uses and includes related development standards that:
(a) Encourage skillful planning by allowing flexibility in the type and placement of buildings while promoting coordinated architectural design within a unified development area.
(b) Encourage a mixture of complementary land uses that includes housing, retail, offices, commercial services, and civic and government uses, to create economic vitality.
(c) Utilize topographic and landscape features to enhance the development and to protect adjacent residential neighborhoods.
(d) Provide flexibility in the siting and design of the development and subsequent redevelopment to anticipate changes in the marketplace.
(e) Establish design criteria for the new developments that are aesthetically pleasing and foster pedestrian movement among the facilities in the development and to and from the adjacent areas.
(f) Promote a high level of landscaping to:
(1) Buffer and protect adjacent uses;
(2) Maximize the existing and intended community characteristics along existing roads, and which are distributed throughout the district; and
(3) Foster green design and a sense of openness to the maximum extent practicable.
(g) Control vehicular circulation and access to existing roads to minimize congestion and increase safety, to the extent practicable.
