A.

The Commission shall recommend to the Council approval, approval with modifications, or disapproval of the final development plan. The Commission shall base an approval on evidence that the final development plan fulfills the requirements of the preliminary PUD approval and all applicable requirements of this title have been met.

B.

The Commission shall find that the facts submitted with the application and presented to them establish that:

1.

Construction of the proposed development shall be initiated according to the timeframes noted in KCC § 5-8-1120.B.

2.

Each individual unit of the development, as well as the total development, can exist as an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability; the uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which would not be achieved under standard zoning district regulations.

3.

The proposed public rights-of-way are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic. The additional traffic loading on the surrounding street network system will not exceed the street's carrying capacity as measured through the level of service (LOS) determined for roadways.

4.

Any proposed commercial development may be justified, in terms of compatibility, integration and support of the primary use at the location(s) proposed.

5.

Any modification from City Code provisions is warranted by the design and other amenities incorporated in the final development plan.

6.

The area surrounding the development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development.

7.

The planned unit development is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan.

8.

The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the population densities and nonresidential uses proposed.
