The PUD is consistent with the purposes set out in Section 17.20.030;

The PUD has been reviewed by the project review board and approved by the council as to its design and architectural consistency. Further, the council shall consider and make recommendation regarding, among other things, the architectural value and significance of the site, building or structure, the general design, arrangement and texture, material and color of the features involved and the relation of such features to similar features of buildings and structures in the surrounding area. In the case of new construction or additions to existing buildings or structures, the council shall consider the appropriateness of the size and shape of the buildings or structure both in relation to the land area upon which the building or structure is situated and to the buildings or structures in the vicinity. Further, the council may, in appropriate cases, impose dimensional and setback requirements in addition to those required by this title. The council shall not consider interior arrangements or architectural features not subject to public view.

Residential: apartments, only on floors above the ground floor;

Business, only within the first three floors:

Expansion of buildings or rehabilitation of existing interiors:

The part or parts of land or structure within a PUD which are reserved for permanent active or passive recreation use. This space shall exclude parking areas but include required setbacks, waterways, walkways, and be open and unobstructed to the sky. Trees, plantings, arbors, flagpoles, sculpture, fountains, swimming pools, atriums, open-air recreational facilities and similar objects shall not be considered "obstruction."

In all PUD's that are new construction, at least ten percent of the land shall be set aside as permanent usable open space, for the use of the PUD residents, or for all PUD users, or for the community. The required open space shall, at the opinion of the council, be conveyed to the conservation commission or to a nonprofit conservation organization, or to a corporation or trust representing persons responsible for the PUD and shall be protected by a conservation restriction as required by Chapter 40A, Section 9, General Laws, for common open space in cluster developments. A covenant shall be placed on the land such that no part of the PUD can be built, sold or occupied until such time as a satisfactory written agreement has been executed for protection of the open space.

Open space requirements do not apply for PUD use projects which are expansions of existing buildings or are major internal renovations. It shall be the objective of this title in cases where private open space has been traditionally utilized by the public and where the public has been allowed to use the area as open space by the owner or owners of the building, that open space should not be included as part of the building expansion and is subject under this section of the bylaw. This section shall not apply to playgrounds so called.

In all PUD projects, adequate off-street parking shall be provided for all vehicles normally visiting the property at any one time. The parking may be ground level, underground or in a garage structure. Parking shall be provided at the following rates, unless otherwise permitted by the council, for the different types of use within the PUD project on land in the same ownership or on a separate parcel, provided that the parking space is within one hundred feet of the building's principal entrance which fronts on a public right-of-way. The determination of the distance from the principal entrance of the building to the potential parking lot shall be the responsibility of the building inspector who shall apply the one-hundred-foot criteria in a straight-line method. An agreement shall be recorded dedicating the parcel to parking use for the reasonable life of the building:

The design standards for off-street parking shall be eight and one-half feet by seventeen feet for angle parking and seven and one-half by twenty feet for parallel parking.

The off-street loading requirements for all uses located in a PUD shall comply with this title, or as otherwise approved by the council.
