In addition, the following general site plan criteria shall be integrated into and made a part of the planned unit development and sketch plan document:
      1.   All subdivisions, streets, street rights-of-way and general development shall adhere to the standards and design criteria set forth in the West Des Moines Subdivision Ordinance pertaining thereto unless otherwise stated within this Ordinance.
      2.   The development shall comply with Article XXII (Off-Street Parking and Loading Areas), Article XXIII (Open Space Requirements) and Article XXV (Site Plans) of the West Des Moines Zoning Ordinance, and Article XX(a) (PUD) Sections 6 and 8. No final building or site plan review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall be required for individual single-family detached lots.
      3.   In all areas adjoining drainageways or detention areas involving potential floor hazards, no residential structure shall be erected which has a lowest floor, including basements, less than one foot (1') above the determined level of the 100-year return frequency rainfall flood event and no residential structure shall be erected within forty feet (40') of said 100-year frequency flood elevation.
      4.   The petitioners seeking this rezoning, their successors and assigns, if any, shall pay all construction and engineering costs for the interior development of the planned unit development, as required by this Ordinance or the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of West Des Moines, Iowa, for all streets, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, drainageway improvements, detention basins, City-owned utilities, buffers and other improvements within the PUD as may be required by the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances.
   B.   Land Use Design Criteria: In addition to the general criteria as stated in subsection A above, the following land use design criteria shall apply to the development areas designated on the sketch plan. The sketch plan document which is made a part of this rezoning action per Section 025-02 herein, delineates eight (8) parcels of the PUD as Parcels A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H for application of specific development standards of residential use and density regulations. The following development standards and use regulations shall apply to each of the eight (8) development parcels:
