(a) Maximum Number of Lots. The maximum number of lots that may be created shall be computed by subtracting 20 percent of the total area from the total site area and dividing the remaining land area by the minimum lot area requirements specified in Schedule 1143.03 of the district in which the planned unit development is to be located.
(b) Minimum Lot Area and Lot Width. The minimum area for each lot may be reduced by 25 percent, and the minimum lot width may be reduced by 20 percent.
(c) Yard Requirements. The minimum front and side yard requirements specified for the district may be reduced by 20 percent provided that for developments adjacent to single-family neighborhoods, buildings located within fifty feet of such single- family property shall maintain the established building line of the adjacent property.
(d) Open Space Requirements. A minimum of 20 percent of the total area in a proposed PUD shall be devoted to public and/or private open space, preservation areas, recreational areas, or recreational facilities.
(1) At least one useable area with a minimum of three contiguous acres shall be provided for such open space.
(2) Land area devoted to parking areas, land fragments between two or more buildings and between buildings and parking areas, and required yards between property lines and buildings and between property lines and parking areas shall not be included as open space.
(3) The required amount of open space reserved under a PUD shall either be: held in corporate ownership by owners of the project area, for the use of each owner who buys property within the development; dedicated to a homeowners' association who shall have title to the land which shall be retained as common open space for parks, recreation and related uses; or offered for dedication to the City for perpetual preservation as a natural area or public recreational use.
(4) The legal articles relating the organization of the homeowners association are subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission and Council and shall provide adequate provisions for the perpetual care and maintenance of all common areas.
(5) Public utility and similar easements and rights-of-way are not acceptable for common open space dedication unless such land or right-of-way is useable as a trail or similar purpose and has been approved by the Planning Commission.
(6) The responsibility for the maintenance of all open spaces shall be specified by the developer before approval of the final development plan.
(7) Such open space, including any recreational facilities proposed to be constructed in such space, shall be clearly shown on the development plan.
(e) Requirements for Public Sites. Regardless of the facilities, sites or open space area to be privately or commercially owned and operated, the developer shall provide land for public sites, public parks and/or playgrounds, or public open space as set forth in Section 1185.03.
(f) Additional Standards. Additional site specific development requirements formulated to achieve the objectives of these regulations shall be established at the time the conditional use request and development plan are reviewed. Any dimensional specifications adopted with such plan become binding land use requirements for the PUD and shall supersede those contained in the district regulations.
