The gross density of a PURD shall not be greater than seven dwelling units per acre, unless specified below.
(a) The Planning Commission may require a lesser density for the residential district when it finds the PURD will adversely impact on the character of the immediate residential area when considering any one or more of the following:
(1) The unusual size and shape of the PURD parcel.
(2) The topography and other natural limitations of the PURD such as streams, ravines, etc.
(3) The reduced buildable area within the PURD 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.
(b) The Planning Commission may permit greater density for a PURD under the following specific situations:
(1) The PURD is located adjacent to an existing multi-family district, commercial district, residential-office district, industrial district, or existing PURD; or
(2) The Planning Commission and Council determines that the increase in density:
A. Is warranted to assure the economically feasible development of the project, for economic 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.
