The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the goals and objectives of the city,

Dwelling units are situated in such a way that an appreciable amount of open space is available and is integrated throughout the planned development,

The project utilizes an innovative approach in lot configuration and mixture of residential and commercial type land uses.

Higher densities than conventional single-family projects of the same acreage are able to provide, with increased open space and appropriate buffering between existing conventional single-family developments.

Nonresidential uses are situated such that an appreciable amount of land is available for open space or joint use as parking and public access space and is integrated throughout the planned development.

Aesthetic amenities may be provided in the planned development design which are not economically feasible to provide in conventional residential and nonresidential projects, and

The project provides a compatible transition, which may include buffer yards, thoroughfares, or transitional uses, between adjacent existing single-family residential projects and provides a compatible transition for the extension of future single-family projects into adjacent undeveloped areas.
