B. Land Use Design Criteria: In addition to the general conditions as stated in subsection A above, the following land use design criteria shall apply to the development areas designated by parcel on the sketch plan.
The Bennett PUD shall incorporate approximately 6.348 acres with a maximum overall density that shall not exceed eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre or a maximum of one hundred fourteen (114) dwelling units. The shifting of densities between parcels within the PUD shall be permitted provided that the overall density of any parcel within the PUD shall not exceed a maximum density of twenty two (22.0) dwelling units per acre. The following development standards and use regulations shall apply to any development within the PUD as applicable.
1. Parcel A: All general use regulations, performance standards and provisions set forth in title 9, chapter 5 of the city code for the RH-18 residential high-density district shall apply to all existing property within parcel A as shown on the sketch plan, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.
a. Setbacks: All building heights and setbacks within parcel A shall be in accordance with the setback and bulk density regulations of the West Des Moines zoning ordinance for the residential high-density (RH-18) district unless otherwise herein modified. The front yard setback shall be a minimum of twenty five feet (25').
2. Parcel B: All general use regulations, performance standards and provisions set forth in title 9, chapter 5 of the city code for the RH-18 residential high-density district shall apply to any development proposal for all property within parcel B shown on the sketch plan, unless noted otherwise in this ordinance.

The minimum parking lot setback along the Bennett Drive right of way shall be ten feet (10').
b. Architecture: The architectural design of any building in the Bennett PUD shall be acceptable to the city, provided acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. All buildings within the PUD shall have wood, fascia glass, face brick or stone as a primary element of the exterior, with all sides of any building built within the PUD consistent in design and use of materials. No masonite, aluminum siding, nonarchitectural sheet metal, nondecorative concrete block or other similar materials shall constitute a portion of any building exterior, except as a trim material, unless the city determines that said material when used as a primary element, enhances the physical appearance.
c. Parking Requirements: Based upon the land uses shown on the sketch plan, the minimum number of parking stalls required on the entire site shall be determined based upon the parking requirements set forth by the zoning ordinance for multi-family dwellings.

e. Internal Circulation And Cross Access Easements: All roads within the Bennett PUD must meet city code requirements applicable at the time of the development or redevelopment of the property. The layout and design of the internal drives and roads within this parcel shall generally comply with the attached sketch plan. At the time of the development of parcel B, the site plan shall be reviewed for compliance with the turning movements necessary for emergency vehicle access and modified as needed. An interconnection must be made between the parcel A parking lot to that of parcel B and a cross access easement shall be executed by the property owner to assure perpetual access in and through the development as shown on the sketch plan.
f. Landscaping Requirements: A minimum fifteen foot (15') wide landscaped buffer park shall be established along the right of way of Fuller Road for the purpose of screening and buffering the residential units within parcel B from the negative impacts of the road and nearby industrial zoned properties. Landscaping requirements shall be equal to one-half (1/2) what is required for a thirty foot (30') landscaped buffer park. In addition, the community development director or his designee may require additional buffering, berming, and landscaping as determined during the site plan review in order to buffer noise, unsightly views, and or other undesirable elements.
The landscaped buffer parks shall incorporate berming (where practical) and vegetative plantings to effectively screen and buffer said units from the adjacent street. No fences or structures shall be permitted within the buffer parks, however retaining walls may be acceptable with the approval of the city council. Prior to development within any part of parcel B, a buffer plan shall be reviewed and approved by the city which illustrates the use of berms and tree plantings in accordance with the provisions of the city code, as amended by ordinance 1073.
g. Street Right Of Way: Prior to, or in conjunction with, any development occurring on parcel B, the property owner shall deed to the city their full half of any additional street right of way required for Bennett Drive and Fuller Road, as identified by the city of West Des Moines adopted comprehensive plan.
