The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and adjacent properties;

The proposed project incorporates superior site design techniques that demonstrate innovative and creative utilization of design principles;

The proposed project demonstrates superior architecture and the use of high-quality building materials, building fixtures and architectural treatments and amenities; and

The proposed project has open space that is designed in a manner where the open space is functional and is grouped in a manner that maximizes the appearance and use of open space.

In order to accomplish the objectives of this chapter, it may be desirable or essential to vary the provisions of the Zoning and/or Subdivision Ordinances provided, however, that proper standards be equally applied where necessary as a condition of approval.

The location of buildings, yards, density, height of buildings and other improvement requirements shall be specified for each separate use of land within the P-D Districts and in accordance with approved development plans.

The applicant may be required as a condition of approval to dedicate land for street or public purposes where indicated on the General Plan and to restrict areas perpetually as open space for common use by appropriate covenants.

The site for the proposed use shall be of adequate size and shape to accommodate the proposed use, yards, courts, walls, fences and landscaping buffers, parking and other required features.

Adequate street access shall be provided to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use.

The proposed use shall have no adverse effect upon any adjacent property, the neighborhood or the City and the proposed use shall protect the public health, safety, convenience, interest and general welfare. In order to insure this provision and to comply with the purposes and intent of this chapter and the General Plan, and development standards or conditions may be imposed to create orderly and proper uses, as determined by the City Council.

The City Council may establish a time limit within which development of the subject property and use or any phase must be completed. The limits will be reasonable based on the size and nature of the proposed development.

That time limit may be extended by the City Council upon request of the applicant and for good cause shown, although once any portion of Site Design Review approval is utilized all other conditions become immediately operative.

If an established time limit for development expires and no extension is granted, the Site Design Review approval is void. In the absence of a valid Site Design Review approval, the property may only be developed in full compliance with the standards of the underlying zone.
