The following are specific regulations and design standards for uses listed in said article, and shall be the minimum governing requirements for the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community.

(a)

Intent and purpose. Planned developments are provided, herein by special use permit in order to allow for some degree of flexibility and innovation in the design of developing areas, as well as to allow for an efficient and aesthetic use of land. Based upon the standards and criteria contained in this section, the planning commission may review and recommend with conditions, a modification in bulk requirements in order to allow certain forms of development containing both privately owned sites and common property, and which are planned collectively as a single unit.

The planned development section of this chapter is also provided in order that the growing demand for housing by young married couples, senior citizens and existing residents may be met by a greater variety of innovative housing types, and by the planning and design of structures with the benefit of cost effective land utilization in such development.

The number of dwelling units shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

This density is granted, provided that at least 25 percent of the total area devoted to residential PUD development is reserved for open space and natural drainage.
