This district is designed toj provide areas of sufficient size and allowing reasonable flexibilityi in design and orientation fort the establishment ofas structure or group of structures which include multiple dwellings designed in aj planned unit development of more than one building on a given site. The requirements ofarea, height, bulk, and placement regulations, as they are usually applicable to individual buildings and individual lots of record would in certain cases of large scale development: have results affording less protection to the public health, safety and welfare than ifa measure of flexibility were permitted. The permitting oft these planned unit developments as special and particular land uses can, in certain cases, increase the desirability and convenience toi the residents or occupants oft thej planned unit development without causing adverse effects on adjoining properties." This type of development will permit a creative approach to residential development. A planned unit development will provide for an efficient use of land potentially resulting ini more economical networks of streets and utilities thereby lowering housing and other land development costs as well as enhancing the appearance of neighborhoods through the preservation of natural features and the provision of recreation areas and open space. Inc creating this zoning district the city intends to encourage home ownership; increase the variety ofc dwelling typesi in thel housing market; and allow fori innovative uses of real property which may  not be: suitable for development for other kinds ofr residential uses.
