§ 154.102 STANDARDS FOR APPROVAL.
   In making a recommendation to approve a PUD, the Planning Commission must find that the proposed PUD meets the standards for final development plan approval as set forth in §§ 154.160 through 154.171 of this chapter and that all of the following standards will also be met.
   (A)   General standards.
      (1)   Granting the PUD rezoning will result in a recognizable and substantial benefit to ultimate users of the project and to the community and the benefit would otherwise be unfeasible or unlikely to be achieved.
      (2)   The PUD will not result in a significant increase in the need for public services and facilities and will not result in significant adverse effects upon nearby or adjacent lands or the natural environment, unless the resulting adverse effects are adequately provided for or mitigated by features of the PUD as approved.
      (3)   The PUD will be generally compatible with the Master Plan of the township and consistent with the intent and objectives of this section.
      (4)   The project can be adequately served by public utilities such as police and fire protection or public or on site community water or sanitary sewer.
      (5)   The project complies with the requirements of this subchapter.
   (B)   Residential standards for a PUD with all residential or a mix of residential and non-residential uses.
      (1)   Protects the rural roadside character by preserving or enhancing the view along the roadway and improves public safety and vehicular carrying capacity by avoiding development that fronts directly on to existing roadways.
      (2)   The project provides walkways so that pedestrians can walk safely and easily throughout the site.
      (3)   The individual lots, buildings, roadways and open space areas are designed to minimize the alteration of environmental site features.
      (4)   The project provides for a mix of residential housing types, non-residential uses, and useable open space or would allow for a use not specifically authorized in this chapter.
      (5)   The design is such that the impact of the differing uses upon each other is minimized.
   (C)   Standards for a PUD with no residential uses. The PUD will not result in hazardous traffic flow and will be designed to manage traffic in a safe and efficient manner.
