The purpose of the planned unit development is to encourage flexibility and provide performance criteria for Planned Unit Development which: permit a creative approach to the development of residential land, resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower housing costs; enhance the appearance of neighborhoods through preservation of natural features, the provision of underground utilities where feasible and the provision of recreation areas and open space in excess of existing zoning and subdivision requirements; provide an opportunity for new approaches to living environment; and provide an environment of stable character compatible with surrounding residential areas.
