(10) Establish parking and loading standards for the development site, including bicycle parking and facilities.

(11) Establish building design standards for all use types permitted within the PDD zoning district pursuant to the development standards established in division (D).

(12) Establish standards for landscaping, screening and buffering to ensure appropriate transitions between uses within the development site.

(13) Establish standards for screening and buffering along the perimeter of the PDD zoning district to ensure appropriate transitions and compatibility with adjacent or nearby development.
