(6) Such other information as may be required by the Planning Department to assist in the consideration of the proposed develop- ment. Procedure. The applicant for approval of a planned residential development shall be the owner, all of the owners of the site acting jointly, or an authorized agent. Each prospective applicant is to confer with the Planning Department in connection with the prepar- ation of a plan for a planned residential develop- ment prior to the submission of the conditional use permit application to the Planning Commission. The chief purpose of such a pre-application conference is to benefit the prospective applicant by providing information and clarifi- cation of requirements before such prospective applicant incurs any substantial expense in the preparation of plans. Sec. 41-591. Development Standards. Due to the complexity of planned residential develop- ments, it is illogical and impractical to define herein an exact pattern for the arrangement of group dwellings for a parcel involving two (2) or more main dwellings; however, it is the intent of this district to provide a functional and non-monotonous orientation of buildings with a maximum of open space around each main building consisting of courts, parkways, and patio areas, all oriented so as to provide separation of vehicular traffic from play areas and recreational area for children and adults. Further, in order to more clearly define the intent of this district, there shall be on file in the office of the Planning Department illustrations entitled "Guides to Planned Residential Development." Said illustrations shall be approved by resolution by the Planning Commission and City Council and shall show the desirable arrangement of buildings and open space, but are not designs which must be copied in order to secure approval of development plans as required by the provisions of the Planned Residential Development District. The following contemporary site design standards or principles are designed to provide assistance to the applicant: ae The overall plan shall be comprehensive, embracing land, buildings, landscaping and their interrela- tionships and shall conform in all respects to all adopted plans of all governmental agencies for the area in which the proposed development is located. The plan shall provide for adequate open space, circulation, offstreet parking and pertinent amenities. Buildings, structures and facilities in the parcel shall be well integrated, oriented and related to the landscape features of the site. Ce The proposed development shall be compatible with the General Plan of Land Use and with circulation patterns on adjoining properties. It shall not constitute a disruptive element to the neighborhood and community. - 3 -
