19.16.010 Purpose and intent.

The planned community zone is created to:

(A) Provide a mechanism for implementing subarea policies contained in the general plan land use element;

(B) Provide for a measured degree of flexibility in development standards to promote creative development concepts, including increased areas devoted to functional open space and a more thoughtful relationship between dwelling units and open space;

(C) Promote provision of additional amenities such as community facilities in conjunction with implementation of development standards that are generally more flexible than traditional residential zoning standards;

(D) Establish standards and parameters for contemporary development concepts such as attached or detached cluster single-family housing or a mix of similar use types;

(E) Encourage the use of cluster development opportunities to preserve significant environmental resources;

(F) Establish standards for variation of lot sizes to facilitate and ensure sufficient diversity in housing styles, types, sizes and costs;

(G) Establish parameters for project phasing that reflects the city's ability to provide services and infrastructure in a logical, orderly cost effective manner.
