Developers of group housing projects must submit their plans to the City Planning Commission for study. The Commission shall make recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its consideration and determination with the approval of the Board of Aldermen. The developer shall pay the same fees as are required for applications for change in zoning and for appeals.

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall apply the requirements of this Chapter to the housing projects as a whole in such a manner that will insure substantially the same character of occupancy, maximum intensity of use, and minimum standard of open spaces as permitted by this Chapter in the district in which the proposed project is to be located.

In considering the project, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall, in no case, authorize a use prohibited in the district in which the housing project is to be located, except that building for administration and maintenance of the project may be included; not a building height in excess of that permitted. The front yard, side yard, rear yard and corner lot requirements must conform with the requirements in the district in which the housing project is to be located. The Planning and Zoning Commission may require such additional restrictions and safeguards as they deem necessary to fulfill the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.

Ample open space shall be provided for recreational space, outdoor drying yards, arrangement of lawns, and planting, etc., in addition to that required for off-street parking.

Parking Regulations. (See Sections 400.220 — 400.260, "Off-Street Parking Regulations").
