§ 1290.01 ESTABLISHMENT; PURPOSES.

   The Planned Unit Development District is established to provide flexibility in the arrangement and design of residential dwellings, to encourage developers to use a more creative approach in development and to achieve:

   (a)   A maximum choice of living environments by allowing a variety of housing and building types and permitting an increased density per acre and a reduction in lot dimensions, yards, building setbacks and area requirements;

   (b)   A more useful pattern of open space and recreational areas and, if permitted as part of the project, more convenience in the location of accessory commercial uses and services;

   (c)   A development pattern which preserves and utilizes natural topography and geologic features, scenic vistas, trees and other vegetation, and which prevents the disruption of natural drainage patterns;

   (d)   A more efficient use of land than is generally achieved through conventional development, resulting in substantial savings through shorter utilities and streets; and

   (e)   A development pattern in harmony with the land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
