The regulations prescribed in sections 1402 through 1417 shall control the procedure for making application for and processing of a planned unit development, subject to the following additional procedures:

A.

In lieu of the drawing of the site prescribed in subsection 1403.G, the application shall be accompanied by a general development plan of the entire planned unit development, drawn to scale and showing provisions for the following: draining of surface waters, water courses, public utility rights-of-way, streets, driveways and pedestrian walks, off-street parking and loading facilities, reservations and dedications for public uses, private uses including dwelling types, lot layout, locations, heights and elevations of structures and landscaped areas.

C.

When a PUD involves proposals which necessitate the filing of a tentative parcel map or subdivision map, and/or which would also necessitate the granting of exceptions of the regulations of the subdivision ordinance, the planning commission may grant tentative approval of the proposal. Where such tentative approval is requested by the applicant, the requirements of paragraphs A and B of this section may be waived temporarily, provided the applicant submits the following:

1.

In lieu of the drawing of the site prescribed in paragraph A of this section, the application shall be accompanied by a schematic drawing drawn to a minimum scale of one inch equals 100 feet, showing the general relationships contemplated among all public and private uses and existing and proposed physical features. An alternate scale may be approved by the planning commission for projects of large scale.

A written statement setting forth the source of water supply, method of sewage disposal, means of drainage, dwelling types, non-residential uses, lot layout, public and private access, height of structures, lighting, landscaped areas of provisions for maintenance of landscaped areas, area to be devoted to various uses and population density per net acre contemplated by the applicant.

D.

The city clerk shall give written notice to the applicant of the time when the application will be considered by the planning commission.

1.

That the proposed location of the PUD is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance.

3.

That the proposed PUD will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this section.

4.

That the standards of housing density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structure, distance between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, landscaped areas and street design will produce an environment of stable and desirable character consistent with the objectives of the zoning ordinance, and will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion and will not overload utilities.

5.

That the combination of different dwelling types and/or variety of land uses in the development will complement each other and will harmonize with existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity.

6.

That the proposed PUD will satisfactorily mitigate potential environmental impacts in accordance with the provisions of section 1508 of this ordinance.
