I. Allowing the development to operate in concert with a redevelopment plan in certain areas of the City and to ensure the redevelopment goals and objectives will be achieved. J. Higher standards of site and building design than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development technique. § 154.752 ALLOWED DEVELOPMENT. Uses within the PUD may include only those uses generally considered associated with the general land use category shown for the area on the official Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Specific allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be delineated in an ordinance and development plan. The PUD development plan shall identify all the proposed land uses and those uses shall become permitted uses with the acceptance of the development plan. Any change in the list of uses approved in the development plan will be considered an amendment to the PUD, and will follow the procedures specified in Article 5, Section 154.105 for zoning amendments. A. Permitted Uses. The PUD application shall identify all proposed land uses and those uses shall become permitted uses upon the approval of the planned unit development. B. Placement of Structures. More than one principal building may be placed on a platted lot within a planned unit development. The appearance and compatibility of buildings in relation to one another, other site elements, and surrounding development shall be considered in the review process. C. Development Intensity. The PUD may provide for an increase in the maximum gross floor area or floor area ratio by up to 20% of that allowed in the base zoning district, for the purpose of promoting project integration and additional site amenities. D. Density. The PUD may provide for an increase in density of residential development by up to 20% of that allowed in the base zoning district, for the purpose of promoting diversity of housing types and additional site amenities. Increased residential densities of varying levels will be awarded based upon the provision of a combination of various site amenities outlined in § 154.209. In addition, the eCity retains the right to evaluate all proposals for bonus density in accordance with the overall goals of the eCity's Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. E. Building Setbacks. The PUD may provide for a reduction in or elimination of required setbacks in the base zoning district, provided that a landscaped setback area of the minimum width established for the base zoning district is maintained along the periphery of the adjacent zoning district(s). F. Lot Requirements. The City Council may authorize reductions in the area and width of individual lots within a PUD from that required for the base zoning district, provided that such reductions are compensated for by an equivalent amount of open space or other public amenities elsewhere in the planned unit development. Any open space shall not include areas designated as public or private streets. The plan may increase the maximum density beyond that permitted in the base zoning district for the purpose of promoting an integrated project with a variety of housing types and additional site amenities. G. Other Exceptions. As part of PUD approval, the City Council is authorized to approve other exceptions to the zoning controls applicable to the base zoning district, such as the maximum height of structures or the minimum off-street parking requirements.
