(A) The use of the planned residential development procedures contained herein is not mandatory for the development of any parcel of ground.
(B) The intent and purpose of this process is to provide a voluntary alternate procedure which maximizes the utilization of land primarily for the benefit, use, and enjoyment of the future residents of that area and the existing residents of the city. In a planned residential development, open space and common recreational areas and facilities are the environment, and livability benefits are furnished to the residents and community in lieu of large individual lots.
