B. The City Planning Commission may establish a lower maximum density for the proposed development when it finds that the PUD, at the density permitted in subsection 1242.05 A. will adversely impact the character of the immediate residential area when considering any one or more of the following:
1. The unusual size and shape of the PUD parcel.
2. The topography and other natural limitations of the PUD such as streams, ravines, etc.
3. The reduced buildable area within the PUD because of items number 1. and 2. above.
4. The proximity of adjacent buildings and/or structures.
5. The actual lot sizes of the immediate residential area.
C. The City Planning Commission may permit greater density for a PUD under the following specific situations:
1. The PUD is located adjacent to an existing multi-family district, commercial district or special district; and
2. The Planning Commission determines that the increase in density:
a. Is warranted to assure the economically feasible development of the project, for economical development or redevelopment, when non-residential development is contrary to the City's planning policies; and
b. Will have no material adverse impact on the adjacent properties compared to other reasonable uses that might be contemplated for the property. (Ord. 13-16. Passed 5-28-13.)
