The council's decision shall be contained in a written resolution, which shall include findings of fact and reasons indicating why the council has approved or denied approval of a final PUD plan or why it has approved a final PUD plan with conditions. The findings of fact and reasons shall consider each of the following:

(1)

The consistency of the final PUD plan with the approved concept plan;

(2)

The adequacy of any common open space included in the PUD plan and proposals for the maintenance and preservation of the common open space; and

(3)

The adequacy of the circulation plan, public facilities and services plan, preliminary architectural plan, and site development and landscaping plan included in the final PUD plan. In determining the adequacy of these plans, the commission shall consider as a guide the circulation, public facilities and service elements of the comprehensive plan, the zoning regulations applicable to the most comparable zoning district, and the development plan review standards contained in Sec. XXIII-25.

(4)

Council Authority: The council retains the legislative authority to determine whether PUD zoning is appropriate regardless of whether the proposed development meets the standards prescribed by this division.
