(A) The primary purpose of utilizing planned development districts for guiding new developments is to place emphasis upon a more flexible regulatory process as compared to rather rigid development regulations common to traditional zoning districts. The planned development process provides for a joint planning/design effort by developers and city officials rather than the city establishing maximum limits within which developers may perform.
(B) Benefits resulting from a regulatory process include an opportunity to protect and preserve valuable natural resources and amenities, and to assure a higher quality environment.
