L City of Crystal Zoning Code 515.57,Subd. 3 g) (Rev. 2004) g) More than 1 building may be placed on 1 platted or recorded lot in a PD. h) A PD which involves a single land use type or housing type will be permitted provided that it is otherwise consistent with the objectives of this Code and the comprehensive plan. i) A residential PD or residential area of a mixed use PD must provide a minimum of 10%of the gross project area in private recreational uses for project residents. Such area must be developed and used for active or passive recreational uses suited to the needs of the residents of the project, including swimming pools, trails, nature areas, picnic areas, tot lots and saunas. This requirement may be waived if the city council finds that adequate recreational opportunities are available sufficiently near the PD to make this requirement duplicative, or if the PD is too small for this requirement to be feasible. j) Property to be included within a PD must be under unified ownership or control or subject to such legal restrictions or covenants as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the approved master development plan as well as the long term maintenance of buildings and site improvements in the development. k) Signs are restricted to those that are permitted in a sign plan approved by the city and must be regulated by permanent covenants. 1) The requirements contained in sections of this Code pertaining to general regulations and performance standards apply to a PD as deemed appropriate by the city. M) The uniqueness of each PD requires that specifications and standards for streets, utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city ordinances ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefore approve streets, utilities, public facilities and land subdivisions are not in compliance with usual specifications or ordinance requirements if it finds that strict adherence to such standards or requirements is not required to meet the intent of this subsection or to protect the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the PD,the surrounding area or the city as a whole. n) A building or other permit may not be issued for any work on property included within a proposed or approved PD nor may any work occur unless such work is in compliance with the proposed or approved PD. Subd.4. Review of Application. a) In order to receive guidance in the design of a PD prior to submission of a formal application, an applicant may submit a concept plan for review and comment by the planning commission and city council. Submission of a concept plan is optional but is highly recommended for large PDs. In order for the review to be of most help to the applicant, the concept plan should contain such specific information as is suggested by the city. Generally,this information should include the following: 1) approximate building and road locations;
