Achieve a continuity of function and design within the development that results in an economically feasible project that conforms to the comprehensive plan and is compatible with development patterns in the surrounding neighborhood.
(5)
Provide a tool for negotiating modifications in standard zoning district regulations in order to achieve innovative design solutions that will protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens.
