It shall be the policy to guide a major development of land and construction by encouraging planned unit developments (PUD) to achieve the following:
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 recreation areas and, if permitted as part of the project, more convenience in the location of accessory commercial uses, industrial uses and services.
C. A development pattern which preserves and utilizes natural topography and geologic features, scenic vistas, trees and other vegetation, and prevents the disruption of natural drainage patterns.
D. A more efficient use of land than is generally achieved through unplanned development.
E. A development pattern in harmony with land use density, transportation facilities, and community facilities which are objectives of the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 15, 7-11-1977)
