A. The approval and recommendations of the Commission shall be accompanied
by a report stating the reasons for approval of the application and
specific evidence and facts showing that the proposed community unit
plan meets with the following conditions, and it is hereby required
that the following conditions shall be met before the approval by
the Commission that:
1.
The buildings shall be used for single-family dwellings, two-family
dwellings, or multiple dwellings, and the usual accessory uses such
as private or parking garages and storage space and for community
activities, including churches and schools.
2.
The average overall lot area per family contained in the project
exclusive of the area occupied by streets shall not be less than the
lot area per family required in the district or districts in which
the project is located.
3.
The area shall be adaptable to complete community development
being bounded by major thoroughfares, streets, railroads, or other
external barriers, and as far as possible shall have within or through
it no major thoroughfare or other physical feature which will tend
to impair the neighborhood or community cohesiveness.
4.
No more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross area of
the total project located in a single-family district be devoted to
multiple-family dwellings.
5.
Sufficient land is reserved for education facilities and recreation
areas to meet the needs of the anticipated population, or as specified
in the Comprehensive Plan.
6.
The property adjacent to the area included in the plan will
not be adversely affected and, to this end, the Planning and Zoning
Commission may require in the absence of an appropriate physical barrier
that uses of least intensity be arranged along the borders of the
project.
7.
The plan is consistent with the intent and purposes of this
Chapter to promote public health, safety, morals, and general welfare.

it is located.

1021 Art. 17 § 17-5, 2-1-1966]
