   (3)   The minimum size of the site on which a PUD shall be located shall not be less than four (4) standard-size residential lots of at least seven thousand two hundred square feet each for residential developments.
   (4)   Building codes and other related city code development requirements shall not be reduced in the design of a PUD.

(Ord. No. 401, §1, 1-19-88; 2014 City Code)

Sec. 24-204. Minimum design and construction standards for streets and alleys.

   Streets and alleys for a PUD shall be designed and constructed in accordance with city standards and specifications for right-of-way width and paving cross section; provided that modifications may be requested and approved as a part of the master plan if the following criteria are met:
   (1)   Public streets and alleys. Proposed public street and alley modifications shall satisfy the following criteria:
   (a)   Street right-of-way and paving widths shall be adequate to provide a traffic carrying and utility installation capacity related to the design of the overall street system, the function of the individual street, and the land uses served.

Cross reference--Chapter 25, Subdivision Regulations.

Sec. 24-205. General design and development guidelines.

   (1)   Densities. Proposed residential densities should be compatible with adjacent developed neighborhoods.
   (2)   Amenities. Amenities should be considered as an important justification for development and city approval of a PUD. Where densities are to be increased to promote the economy of development, or where other methods of land use intensification are proposed, usable open space should be furnished along with provision for its permanent retention and continued maintenance. Sidewalks and pedestrian ways should be planned where it is necessary to provide for amenity and public safety.
   (3)   Streets:
   (a)   Street design should restrict through traffic from residential areas as much as possible.
   (b)   Encouragement should be given to design of short local streets serving limited areas, such as the residential cul-de-sac. Reduction of conventional minor street design widths should be considered appropriate on such streets when they are designed with limited length and only one access point.
   (c)   Reduction of design widths on streets designed in a conventional pattern should not be approved.
   (d)   Development of a private street system should be considered appropriate under certain conditions where there is no through traffic. However, a private street system should not serve as a reason for reduction of minimum design and paving standards.
   (e)   On-street parking bays or other similar areas where vehicles must back into the traffic flow should not be approved on arterial or collector streets or any local street; provided, however, that certain cul-de-sac or small loop street designs may be considered as appropriate.
   (f)   Off-street parking. The off-street parking requirements set forth in Article IV of this chapter for residential and mixed-use Planned Unit Developments may be complied with by providing one (1) or more permanent, common, off-street facilities for all uses within the development, provided that the facility contains the requisite number of spaces for each use, and that the spaces provided for permanent residents shall be clearly designated and separated from spaces provided for employees, customers, and service.
