All buildings and structures in a planned unit development shall be set back from a street, road, or drive, whether or not dedicated to public use, not less than the distance required with respect to setbacks from dedicated public streets in the zone in which the development site will be situated, except as herein provided. If the street, road, or drive shall have been formally dedicated to public use, the setback shall be from the dedicated right-of-way of the street, road, or drive. If the street, road, or drive shall not have been formally dedicated to public use, the setback shall be from a line established by a recordable instrument executed and acknowledged by the owner of the development site, expressly approved by the Planning Commission as establishing a setback that is compatible with the general setback requirements in the zone and as being sufficient as to form, and recorded by the City Clerk at the expense of the owner before any affected building sites in the development are sold, or contracted to be sold, or construction of any building or structure on any such sites is commenced. Provided, the Planning Commission may require an additional setback from a heavily traveled street, road, or drive if it determines such a setback to be reasonably necessary or proper for the public health, safety, and welfare.
