(A) The purpose of this section is to permit flexibility for residential, commercial, and industrial development where large tracts of land are planned with integrated and harmonious design, and where the overall design of such units is so outstanding as to warrant modification by the Planning Commission of the regulations.
(B) Any planned unit development to be eligible under this section must comply with the following requirements.
(1) The tract of land to be developed shall have a minimum area of not less than ten acres.
(2) The owner of the property shall submit to the Planning Commission a plan for the use development of the total tract of land as a planned unit development in accordance with the provisions of §§ 153.185 through 153.193. In addition to the site plan data specified in §§ 153.185 through 153.193, the application shall contain such other pertinent information as may be necessary to make a determination that the contemplated arrangement or use may make it desirable to apply regulations and requirements differing from those ordinarily applicable under this chapter. The plan shall contain such proposed covenants, easements, and other provisions relating to the bulk, location, and density of structures, accessory uses thereto, and public facilities as may be necessary for the welfare of the planned unit development and not inconsistent with the best interest of the entire township.
(3) The average density of structures of the tract shall not be greater than the density requirements in the district in which the planned unit is located.
(4) The use of the land shall be in conformance with the permitted uses of the district in which the proposed plan is to be located.
(5) The proposed development shall be served by adequate public facilities and service such as highway, street, police and fire protection, drainage, structures, and refuse disposal. These facilities may be provided by a governmental or private organization.
(6) The proposed unit shall be of such size, composition, and arrangement that its construction, marketing, and operation is feasible as a complete unit without dependence on any subsequent unit or development.
(7) The common open space, common properties, individual properties, and all other elements of the planned unit development shall be so planned that they will achieve a uniform environmental scheme, with open spaces and all other elements in appropriate locations, suitable related to each other, the site, and surrounding land.
(8) The applicant may be required to dedicate land for street and park purposes by appropriate covenants and to restrict area perpetually for the duration of the planning development as open spaces for common use. The development as authorized shall be subject to all conditions so imposed and shall be exempt from other provisions of this chapter only to the extent specified in the authorization.
