2. 
More efficient use of land, public services and infrastructure.
3. 
Preservation and protection of significant natural features such as streams, trees, topographic features, and significant cultural features.

Example: If total residential density allowed is one hundred sixty (160) dwelling units, at no phase of the development would more than thirty-two (32) dwelling units (one hundred sixty (160) by twenty percent (20%) equals thirty-two (32)) be allowed until the required open space is developed.

b. 
High-quality construction.
c. 
Longevity of system.
d. 
Disparity between land uses.
e. 
Visibility of undesirable elements.
2. 
Buffers And Screens. Proper use of buffers and screens shall be incorporated into site plans in order to lessen the difference between land uses and diminish the visual impact of undesirable elements.
a. 
Architectural screens should be an extension of the development's architectural treatment and consistent in color and design.
b. 
Screening walls should be constructed of low-maintenance, high-quality materials which are consistent with the building facade material.
c. 
Painted or coated screening walls should be avoided.
3. 
The Planning and Zoning Commission may restrict or require restrictive covenants prohibiting certain uses normally permitted in any of the above districts and then hours of operation if those uses will have an adverse impact on other properties located in or adjacent to the planned development. Considerations for the limitations of such uses include:
a. 
The impact of dust, chemicals, noise, and other pollutants on surrounding properties.
b. 
The impact of the hours of operation of a use and the enjoyment of surrounding property.
c. 
The impact of traffic, freight pickup or deliveries, and lighting on surrounding uses.
d. 
Outdoor storage and the storage or manufacturing of hazardous materials.
4. 
Residential uses may share the same multistory structure with a commercial use, provided that residential dwelling units are limited to the secondary floors of the structure, and that the Board of Aldermen determines that any such arrangement will not adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of any such units.
F. 
"PDD" Requirements.
1. 
The "PDD" development plan may establish density, height, setback, lot size, wetlands and floodplain buffer areas, parking lot design standards, architectural, signage and landscaping standards that differ from those in the underlying zone or in this Chapter, provided that the standards further the objectives of the "PDD" regulations, the Comprehensive Plan, and the specific "PDD" development plan.
2. 
All requirements of the underlying zone and those set forth in this Code otherwise applicable to the area of land proposed for a "PDD" shall govern, except to the extent that the approved "PDD" development plan provides exceptions as allowed herein.
G. 
Development Standards.
1. 
Minimum Site Size. There shall be no minimum number of units or acres which may constitute a "PDD." A "PDD" may be established on any sized parcel, provided that it has an adequate building site and can meet the objectives of this Article.
2. 
Compatibility With Neighborhood. The City shall evaluate the relationship of the "PDD" to its surroundings in order to consider adverse effects concerning traffic circulation, building height or bulk, visual impact or intrusion into privacy of neighboring properties. The evaluation criteria, will include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. 
Size and location of site.
b. 
Street capacities in the area, and ingress and egress to adjoining streets.
c. 
Location and amount of off-street parking.
d. 
Internal traffic circulation.
e. 
Fencing, screening and landscaping.
f. 
Building bulk and location on site.
g. 
Usable open space.
h. 
Signs and lighting.
i. 
Environmental impacts.
j. 
Impacts to facilities and utility systems.
k. 
Hours and size of operation.
3. 
Side Setback. A periphery yard adjacent to the exterior boundaries of the "PDD" shall be at least as deep as those required by the yard regulations of the underlying zoning district unless the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board find that equal protection will be accorded to adjacent parcels through specific features of the approved plan.
4. 
Open Space. Open space shall be adequate in terms of location, area and type for the recreational and leisure use of the visitors and the population occupying the "PDD" and shall be designed to enhance the present and future value of the development. "PDD"s that overlay a residential district may cluster the required percentage of open lot area or required open space in common public or private open space.
a. 
The development plan shall include provisions for the ownership and maintenance of common open space as is necessary to ensure its continued care and conservation. The development plan shall also provide for remedial measures that will be available to the City should the common open space deteriorate or not be maintained in a manner consistent with the interests of the residents of the Planned Development District or the residents of Kimberling City.
b. 
Open Space. Open space in a "PDD" means the land area to be used for scenic or open recreational purposes within the development.
c. 
Open space does not include street rights-of-way, driveways, parking areas, required setbacks or public service easements unless these areas have some special recreational design or purpose.
d. 
To the maximum extent possible, the "PDD" plan and program shall ensure that natural features of the land are preserved and landscaping is provided.
e. 
In order to ensure that open space will be permanent, dedication of development rights to the City for open space use may be required.
5. 
Residential Density. Density allowed within a "PDD" shall generally be consistent with the underlying zone, but may be increased by the City based on a finding that the project implements the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and does not create undue hardships, safety issues or nuisances within the community. In the event a property is being voluntarily annexed as a planned development and has no underlying zoning, the same rules will apply as if the property were zoned for the most similar zone to the proposed use, such as "R-3" Multi-Family zoning if the proposed plan were condominiums or apartments, or "R-1B" Single-Family if the proposed development were predominantly single-family detached dwellings. The density of dwelling units in a Planned Development District shall also conform with the lot and general regulations of Section 400.450 of the City of Kimberling City Zoning Regulations unless the Planning and Zoning Commission approves a development plan that includes design and infrastructure elements to accommodate greater densities in localized areas of the development using these guidelines:
a. 
Any reduction in minimum lot size shall be compensated by equivalent common open space in the balance of the development.
b. 
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall, in its determination, also consider that the physical characteristics of the site may make increased densities appropriate in a particular location.
c. 
The total ground area occupied by buildings and structures shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the total ground area of the planned development. If previous development in the neighborhood exceeds coverage of thirty-five percent (35%), the coverage area of the Planned Development District may be increased to correspond with that of the neighborhood as a whole.
6. 
Street Circulation System. The "PDD" shall provide an adequate internal street circulation system designed for the type of traffic generated, safety, convenience and access. Private internal streets or circulation may be permitted, provided that adequate access for police, fire and emergency vehicles is maintained; streets are named in a logical fashion to avoid confusion; and provisions for using and maintaining such streets are imposed upon the private users and approved by the City. Bicycle pathways and bicycle storage shall be provided in accordance with this Chapter.
