The following findings shall be made by the city council prior to approval of a new or <br />amended open space planned unit development: <br />a) The proposed development is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of <br />the comprehensive plan. <br />b) All prerequisites for an open space PUD as outlined in LEC 105.12.1030 are met. <br />c) All open space PUD design standards (as outlined in LEC 105.12.1050) and all open <br />space development standards (as outlined in LEC 105.12.1060) are met; or if <br />deviations are proposed, that all such deviations are supported because they achieve <br />the following three goals: <br />1) The deviations allow for higher quality building and site design that will <br />enhance aesthetics of the site; <br />2) The deviations help to create a more unified environment within the project <br />boundaries by ensuring one or more of the following: architectural <br />compatibility of all structures, efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, <br />enhanced landscaping and site features, and/or efficient use of utilities; and <br />3) The overall design provides appropriate solutions to eliminate adverse <br />impacts that proposed deviations may impose on surrounding lands. <br />d) If the proposed PUD involves construction over two or more phases, the applicant <br />has demonstrated that each phase is capable of being a stand-alone development <br />independent of other phases. <br />HISTORY <br />Adopted by Ord. 08-253 on 11/3/2021 <br />105.12.1080 Open Space PUD Review Procedure <br />All requests to establish an open space planned unit development shall be initiated by <br />following the steps below: <br />a) PUD preliminary plan. <br />1) Pre-application conference.

No application <br />for an open space PUD preliminary plan will be accepted by the city unless <br />an applicant's proposal is distinctly similar to one reviewed by city staff in <br />the required pre-application conference. <br />2) PUD preliminary plan submittal requirements. Except as may be waived by <br />the director of planning community development director, the following
