(A) The Planning Commission shall attach reasonable special conditions to ensure that there shall be no departure from the intent of this subchapter. The planned unit development project shall conform with all such conditions. Because a planned unit development project is inherently more complex than individual lot development and because each project must be tailored to the topography and neighboring uses, the standards for projects must be flexible.
(B) The following standards define the typical special conditions the Planning Commission shall attach in addition to the standards for lot, parking, and loading and unloading area defined in § 152.238 above. The Planning Commission may also attach any other reasonable special conditions.
(1) It is desirable that access points to all arterial streets shall be located no more frequently than once every eighth to a quarter of a mile. The Planning Commission may approve the platting of temporary access points.
(2) Wherever there is an abrupt change in uses, i.e., residential to commercial, it is desirable that a buffer area of open space or protective planting be placed between them which will protect each use from the undesirable effects of the other.
(3) Parking and other public areas used at night shall be adequately lighted, and private areas shall be adequately protected from this lighting and any other lighting from public areas. Public streets may also require protection from excessive glare of lighted areas.
(4) It is desirable that all planned unit development projects be constructed promptly after approval of the final plat. Construction shall be initiated within one year after approval of the final plat, and shall be completed in a reasonable length of time. Failure to initiate construction within one year shall void the permit.
