(4) Recreational-Leisure space sufficient to accommodate the needs of all the occupants. (5) The location and design of all buildings, structures, and open spaces in such a manner as to create a balanced and harmonious composition as a whole and in the relations of its several parts and features to each other. (6) The development of land in an efficient and orderly manner consistent with the established quality of the community. Further, said PD Suffix is intended to allow innovations in subdivision design intended to foster greater land utilization while increasing the desirability of each project developed under the PD Suffix. SECTION 9230.172. Accessory Uses. The following accessory uses are permitted only where they are integrated with and clearly incidental to a primary permitted use and where the sole purpose is to provide convenience to residents of the development rather than the general public: (1) Swimming pools. (2) Recreational buildings, structures, and areas. (3) Private parks. (4) Other noz~mal accessory uses constituting an integral part of said Planned Development.
