Intent: The intent of this district is to provide a district which <br />will encourage: <br /> <br />a. Flexibility in land development in order to make better use of new <br />techniques in building design and construction and land development; <br /> <br />b. The provision on housing affordable to all income groups; <br /> <br />c. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs <br />and through the clustering oqmildings and land uses; <br /> <br />d. Preservation of desirable land characteristics and open space and <br />protection of sensitive environmental features such as steep slopes, <br />poor soils and trees; <br /> <br />e. More effective and efficient use of land, open space and public <br />facilities through the mixing of land uses and assembly and <br />development ofland in larger parcels; and <br /> <br />f. A high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land <br />uses, both existing and planned. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Criteria. Every proposal presented to the City for rezoning to <br />Planned Unit Development District shall be accompanied by a preliminary site plan as provided <br />in Subdivision 9 (a) of this section. The City shall consider the following criteria and objectives <br />in processing the application for rezoning to Planned Unit Development District: <br /> <br />a. That the proposal shall provide for a wider range of housing types, <br />price ranges and styles than could be accomplished under existing <br />zonmg; <br /> <br />b. That the proposal shall provide amenities and facilities and open <br />spaces greater than the minimum requirements of existing zoning; <br /> <br />c. That the proposed development is compatible with the purposes and <br />intents of this chapter and the Comprehensive Plan, specifically <br />residential density requirements. However, an increase in density may <br />be allowed under the following conditions, provided that traffic <br />patterns will not be adversely affected and that public facilities are <br />adequate: <br /> <br />1. For undeveloped common open space in excess of the 20% <br />required, an additional one percent (1%) of density may be <br />allowed for each additional one percent (1%) of undeveloped <br />common open space, up to a maximum increase in density of five <br />percent; and <br /> <br />2.~ <br />
