1134.04 STANDARDS.

   In its analysis of the petition to rezone and the proposed development plan, and prior to official action recommending in favor of or approving the petition and plan, the Planning Commission shall insure that the following standards and conditions are met and shall deny the request if the following standards are not met.

   (a)   Land uses within the PUD shall be appropriate in their proposed location in their relationships to each other and in their relationships with uses and activities on adjacent and nearby properties.

   (b)   The PUD shall comply with applicable city plans and planning policies, and shall have a beneficial effect both upon the area of the city in which it is proposed to be established and upon the city as a whole;

   (c)   The total land area within the PUD, and the area devoted to each functional portion of the development, shall be adequate to serve its intended purpose;

   (d)   Streets, utilities, drainage facilities, recreation areas, building heights, and vehicular parking and loading facilities shall be appropriate for the particular use or uses involved, and should approximate the level of design, aesthetics and construction quality required of similar land development elsewhere in the City;

   (e)   Visual character and community amenities shall be equal or better in quality than that required by standard zoning districts for similar development;

   (f)   Open space and population density shall maintain a ratio appropriate for the type of development;

   (g)   Areas proposed for common ownership shall be subject to a reliable and continuing maintenance guarantee; (Ord. 1989-81. Passed 1-2-90.)

   (h)   In the cases of developments which are to be constructed in several units, all proposed units shall be shown on the overall development plan. The proposed construction of the individual units shall comply with the standards set forth in this Chapter in order that, if for any reason construction ceases prior to the completion of the entire planned unit development, the resulting partially complete project will adequately serve its purchasers and occupants and will not cause a general public problem.
