Before a planned unit development (PUD) permit can be approved, all of the following findings shall be made by the reviewing authority identified in Chapter 18.70:

1.

The location and design of the PUD is in accordance with the purpose of this title;

2.

The PUD is being proposed to achieve one or more of the objectives identified in Section 18.82.030;

3.

The location and design of the PUD and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not have a specific, adverse impact to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community to properties or improvements in the vicinity. A "specific, adverse impact" is defined as a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions;

4.

The PUD will have appropriate on-site circulation (e.g., pedestrian and vehicular) and traffic control is designed into the development to ensure facilities equal to or better than what would normally be created by compliance with the minimum setback and parcel width standards;

5.

That PUD's population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structures, distances between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, landscaped areas, and street design will result in an environment that is consistent with the purpose of this title;

6.

The combination of different dwelling types, architectural appearance, and/or varieties of land uses in the development will be arranged to avoid conflicts such as overcrowding, incompatible scale, or specific, adverse impacts on surrounding properties, and will be consistent with the functional characteristics, scale, and intensity of existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity; and

A PUD may be denied if the reviewing authority finds one or more of the findings in this section cannot be made.
