The general intent and purposes of this chapter are to establish standards and procedures, including standards and procedures that are more flexible than those which are prescribed by conventional zoning regulations, whereby sufficiently large and properly located land areas can be developed in accordance with innovations and imaginative land planning concepts in a manner that will best serve both private and public interests. More particularly, but without limitation of the above generalities, the intent and purposes of this chapter are to:
(a) Permit greater flexibility in the design of integrated developments;
(b) Encourage the design of varieties of housing and other land uses in such developments;
(c) Encourage reservation of greater proportions of open spaces for visual purposes and recreational uses;
(d) Ensure, in the. process, that population density and building density and bulk conform to the general objectives of the City's Zoning Code, Subdivision Regulations. and Comprehensive Development Plan; and
(e) Facilitate accomplishment of these objectives through planned unit developments of various types.
