These site design review procedures are instituted to provide for Planning Commission review and approval of site designs to ensure full compliance with all applicable requirements of this Zoning Code and to set additional requirements in accordance with the standards set forth herein where such additional requirements are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. It is hereby recognized that peculiarities of lot contour, existing and potential adjacent development, existing and potential vehicular and pedestrian circulation and other determinants may require special regulation of the location and external design of buildings, open spaces, parking areas, and driveways that cannot be achieved by detailed specifications. The site design review process should provide an opportunity for consultation and cooperation between the applicant and the Planning Commission so that maximum utilization of land consistent with minimum adverse effects on adjoining areas can be achieved. Site design review and approval is an integral part of the approval process for uses subject to special conditions and planned developments and therefore separate site design review as provided herein shall not be required for uses subject to special conditions and planned developments.
