§ 154.180 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
   (A)   Perimeter building setback requirements of the underlying zoning district shall apply within the PUD, except that residential dwellings shall be set back a minimum of ten feet from any perimeter property line.
   (B)   Within the PUD, the Planning Commission may authorize building heights in excess of the maximum district limitation, provided such building comprise no more than 20% of all proposed building floor area of the PUD and are aesthetically integrated into the overall design of the PUD.
   (C)   The Planning Commission shall have the authority to adjust, or allow adjustments to, building setbacks, yard areas, and other development standards to permit design innovation, efficiency, solar orientation, natural resource preservation, zero lot-line development, or other design features that will enhance the PUD and that will be consistent with the purpose of this section.
   (D)   To the maximum extent possible, all electrical, telephone, cable television and other utilities shall be located underground.
   (E)   Off-street parking and loading requirements of a PUD shall be based on the sum of parking and loading requirements for each individual use, in accordance with zoning ordinance § 25. The Planning Commission is authorized to approve reductions in these standards in cases where the applicant can show how parking can be shared effectively, or can be reduced to other reasons. Additional parking may also be required in cases where the design may justify more spaces than normally required.
   (F)   Fire safety provisions shall be a primary consideration in the approval of a PUD, and its overall design shall not create fire safety or access problems, nor a fire potential greater than the local fire district's suppression capabilities as determined by the Fire Chief.
   (G)   The PUD plan shall have a basic architectural “theme” established with the final plan approval. Design coordination shall include all buildings, accessory structures, signs, outdoor lighting, fencing, street trees, and other major features.
