This Section is intended to introduce flexibility of site design and architecture for <br />the conservation of land and open space through clustering of buildings and activities through <br />conditional use provisions. It is further intended that planned unit developments are to be <br />characterized by central management, integrated planning and architecture, joint or common <br />use of parking, maintenance of open space and other similar facilities and a harmonious <br />selection and efficient distribution of uses. Specifically, it is intended to encourage: <br /> <br />Subd. 1. Innovations in residential development to the end that the growing demands for <br />housing of all economic levels may be met by greater variety in tenure, type, design and <br />siting of dwellings and by the conservation and more efficient use of land in such <br />developments. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Higher standards of site and building design through the use of trained and <br />experienced land planners, architects and landscape architects. <br /> <br />Subd. 3. More convenience in location of accessory commercial and service area. <br /> <br />Subd. 4. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, such as natural <br />topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. <br /> <br />Subd. 5. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and <br />orderly transition of land from rural to urban uses.
