A. Review Process: Because the PUD provides the opportunity for higher densities, greater design flexibility, mixed land uses, and improved marketability, the applicant should be prepared to provide amenities and services that might not be required or possible in a conventional development. Review and approval of a PUD is, therefore, a process of negotiation between the city and the applicant to achieve the intents and purposes of these regulations. The following factors should be specifically included as review criteria for the evaluation of a PUD application. Other factors not listed herein may also be considered in the review process in order to respond to specific design and land use proposals.
B. Design Standards:
1. The proposed PUD shall be designed to provide for the unified development of the area in accordance with the spirit and purpose of the land uses and zoning districts adjacent to it.
2. Design of the PUD may provide for modification of conventional zoning ordinance requirements for such elements as yard areas, densities, setback and height on individual lots in accordance with the PUD development plan.
3. Density, land use, and intensity of use requirements shall be based on the PUD development plan and shall be reviewed carefully to ensure the general health, welfare, and safety of the community.
4. Building code requirements shall not be reduced.
5. The maximum number of dwelling units within a PUD shall be based on calculation of gross density. Gross density shall be established in the PUD development plan and shall be calculated by dividing the total land area to be developed for residential uses (exclusive of arterial streets) by the number of dwelling units.
6. Location and type of housing shall be established in a general pattern and shown on the development plan map. (Ord. 612, 8-5-2002)
