Such water and sewer systems shall be connected to appropriate public systems, if existing or to be available by the time the PUD reaches a stage where they will be required. If the overall average net density is less than one unit per one-half acre of area, a central water system and central sewage disposal system, with adequate capacity to care for the projected PUD area and so designed to be expandable for future development, will be required to be furnished by the developer to the proper utility authority. These facilities shall meet the standards as set by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

However, concerning any matter as to use, occupancy, building setback, maximum building height, permitted signs or parking, as to which the plat and restrictive covenants are silent, the provisions of Sections 16-4-20 and 16-4-60 of this Chapter shall govern as to residential lots, and the provision of Section 16-4-50 of this Chapter shall govern as to nonresidential lots, except that any use permitted in Section 16-4-50 shall also be permitted on such nonresidential lots, subject to the building setback, maximum building height, permitted signs, and parking requirements of Section 16-4-50. If it is impossible to determine from the application, plan, plat or restrictive covenants whether a particular lot is residential or nonresidential, it shall be presumed that such lot is residential for the purposes of this Section.
