A. Yards and Site-Screening. The requirements for yards and site-screening which would normally apply to the uses within the planned unit development, if those uses were being developed in a conventional use zone, shall apply in a planned unit development unless other proposals are approved as part of the preliminary planned unit development. Such proposals shall be accompanied by supporting material demonstrating that the variations would provide equal or greater protection to adjacent or nearby properties.

B. Number and Type of Dwelling Units. In a residential planned unit development, the allowed number of units may be arranged into the types of structures allowed in higher density zones. The number of dwelling units permitted in any R zone shall be determined by dividing the net development area by the minimum lot area per dwelling unit required in the zone in which the area is located.

Reductions in lot size requirements when parking spaces are placed within the building structure shall not apply to planned unit developments. Net development area shall be determined by subtracting from the total development area the area set aside for places of worship, schools or commercial use and the amount of land that would be required for streets if the land was developed under standard provisions instead of PUD. In RS zones, street right-of-way requirements under standard subdivision practices may be assumed to be 15 percent unless demonstrated otherwise.

C. Permitted Residential Site Coverage. The permitted percentage of coverage by residential buildings and structures for the net development area as determined in subsection (B) of this section shall not exceed the percentage of coverage permitted in the zone in which the project is located.

D. Permitted Nonresidential Site Coverage. The site coverage permitted for the nonresidential uses shall be solely in the discretion of the city council; in exercising its discretion, the city council shall be guided by the density and uses permitted on lands affected by this PUD, the objectives of the comprehensive plan, the site coverage permitted by the existing zoning, any fire hazards and the ability to provide fire protection and other emergency services, the amount of area needed for parking and open space to cause this PUD to be compatible to adjacent lands and uses, and such additional information as the city council determines to be relevant to its deliberation.

E. Off-Street Parking. An off-street customer parking plan shall be provided in connection with the preliminary planned unit development application, conforming to the standards of this title for the number of stalls and dimensional standards. Any proposed variations from the dimensional standards shall be shown on the parking plan and shall be accompanied by supporting material justifying the variations. The parking plan may also provide for flexibility in the number of parking stalls by designating a part of the parking plan to be made available upon demand by the city council or their designee. Such reserve parking capacity shall be guaranteed by bond or other appropriate guarantee. The land to be reserved for potential parking improvements shall be improved with an interim landscaping, but the preliminary approval may provide that existing vegetation may be retained in lieu of the landscaping.
