2 3. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. The 56.45 acre site is bisected by Judicial Ditch No. 3 (Clearwater Creek), which separates the northern third of the site from the remainder. The creek will be preserved and a conservation easement will be provided to protect this greenway corridor. The buffer along the creek shown on Lot 1 ranges from 20 feet to 150 feet in width and will be provided in a conservation easement. The buffer will include all of the area between the creek, ponds and parking area. The site has a limited number of trees, but many of those are located adjacent to the creek and will be preserved. 4. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. The project will allow development of a significant distribution center and will provide two outlots for future development. The project includes an extension of 21st Avenue to provide access to Lot 1. The development is consistent with the development anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan, AUAR and Zoning Ordinance. 5. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. The development will include extension of existing streets and trunk utilities, which will be designed and built by the developer. The infrastructure will be planned and built by the developer. 6. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. The purpose of the PUD will allow construction of the distribution center on Lot 1 in a location that would not otherwise have been allowed under the standard zoning and subdivision regulations.
