Before any part of a PUD subdivision may be reflected in a record plan and recorded, the improvements and uses previously described in an approved general plan must be merged and detailed in a final development plan. No final development plan shall be considered or approved without formal approval by City Council of both the amendment to the Official Zoning Map and the general plan. Once these approvals have been received, the owner may seek approval for a final development plan for the overall PUD, for sections of the PUD, or for individual parcels. The last alternative may be particularly appropriate where lot sizes may depend on the particular needs of prospective purchasers, and those purchasers are unknown at the time the general plan is approved. The final development plan shall show the following, in addition to those items required in the general plan:
(a) The area to be developed and the area to be devoted to open space for the use of all residents of the PUD, with accurate acreage, courses and distances, as determined by a engineer or surveyor licensed in the state of Ohio who shall sign such plan and certify to the accuracy thereof. The boundaries of any area for which final development plan approval is requested shall not be gerrymandered to comply with the density and open space acreage criteria but shall be proportioned so that required open space is convenient to the properties included in the area submitted for final approval;
(b) The location and floor plans of all buildings, descriptive data as to land elevation drawings detailing the type of buildings, the number of dwelling units in each separate type and the number of bedrooms per unit of apartment (multi-family dwelling) buildings, and the number of bedrooms in each apartment unit;
(c) Clear designations of nonresidential, mixed use and residential buildings, of nonresidential and residential spaces within buildings, and of the kinds of nonresidential land uses permissible within the nonresidential spaces, as approved by the Planning Commission;
(d) A title guarantee or rider to an existing policy, prepared by a reputable title company, showing the legal description of the land which has been set aside for open space and showing appropriate restrictions, limiting the use of such land to recreation and open space in perpetuity and granting owners and residents of the area to be developed a right to an easement of use in such open space;
(e) A detailed plan setting forth the manner, means and proposed time of transfer of the land reserved for open space to a nonprofit entity and the obligations and rights of use of such open space by all residents of the area; and
(f) Assured provisions for continuously and adequately financing the expenses of the nonprofit entity.
