   (a)   The site is so situated, and the use or uses proposed for the site are of such characteristics that the application of general districts or combining districts will not provide sufficient flexibility to allow the proposed development.
   (b)   Development of the site under the provisions of the PC planned community district will result in public benefits not otherwise attainable by application of the regulations of general districts or combining districts. In making the findings required by this section, the planning commission and city council, as appropriate, shall specifically cite the public benefits expected to result from use of the planned community district.
   (c)   The use or uses permitted, and the site development regulations applicable within the district shall be consistent with the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, and shall be compatible with existing and potential uses on adjoining sites or within the general vicinity.

The plot plans, landscape development plan, and design plan in the development plan should only be preliminary during this phase of review by the planning commission.
   (b)   If the planning commission acts favorably in its initial review of the PC application, the development plan shall be submitted to the architectural review board for review, except in the case of single-family and accessory uses. In this phase, a detailed plot plan, landscape development plan, and design plan of the development plan are required. The architectural review board shall make a recommendation on the development plan based on the findings for architectural review in Section 18.76.020 (d).
   (c)   The development plan as approved by the architectural review board is then returned to the planning commission for final planning commission review and recommendation before being submitted to the city council for final action.
