(A)   The purpose of the planned unit development is to permit:

      (1)   A maximum choice in the types of environment available to the public by allowing a development that would not be possible under the strict application of the other sections of this chapter.

      (2)   Permanent preservation of common open space and recreation areas and facilities.

      (3)   A pattern of development to preserve natural vegetation, topographic and geologic features.

      (4)   A creative approach to the use of land and related physical facilities that results in better development and design and the construction of aesthetic amenities.

      (5)   An efficient use of the land resulting in more economic networks of utilities, streets and other facilities.

      (6)   A land use which promotes the public health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare.

   (B)   The planned unit development is intended to provide for developments incorporating a single type or a variety of related uses which are planned and developed as a unit. The planned unit development may provide amenities not otherwise required by law and should establish facilities and open space greater than the minimums required by law. Such development may consist of conventionally subdivided lots or provide for development by a planned unit development plan which establishes the location and extent of the features of the planned unit development in keeping with the purpose of the plan.

No permit allowing construction of a building or other development shall be granted until the required recording of the final plat.

      (2)   The purpose of the final plat is to designate with particularity the land subdivided into conventional lots as well as the division of other lands, not so subdivided, into common open areas and building sites.
