The conditional use permit for a planned development may be granted based upon the following findings:
(a) 
That the location of the development is in accord with the objectives of the comprehensive general plan and the zoning and subdivision ordinances and the major purposes of the district in which the site is located.
(b) 
That the standards of dwelling unit density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, heights of structures, distances between structures, usable open space, and offstreet parking and offstreet loading facilities will be such that the development will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion and will not overload utilities.
(c) 
That the combination of different dwelling types and/or the variety of land uses in the development will complement each other and will harmonize with existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity.
(d) 
That the design of grades, paving, gutters, drainage and treatment of turf are adequate to handle stormwaters and prevent erosion, and to minimize flooding and formation of dust.
(e) 
That the arrangement of pedestrian circulation facilities, roadways, driveways, offstreet parking and loading spaces, and facilities for waste disposal and illumination are adequate, safe and convenient.
(f) 
That the location of pedestrian walks, malls and public transportation loading places from general vehicular circulation facilities are adequate, safe and convenient.
(g) 
That the arrangement of buildings, open spaces and vehicular circulation does not unnecessarily expose pedestrians to vehicular traffic.
(h) 
That the arrangement of signs and lighting devices with respect to traffic control devices and adjacent residential districts does not interfere with driver operations or invade the privacy of residential areas.
(i) 
That fences, walls, or year-round planting screens are adequate to shield adjacent residential districts from parking illumination, headlights, fumes, heat, blowing papers and dust; and are proper to increase the visual privacy and residential neighborhood character.
(j) 
That the average dwelling unit density per gross acre of the development does not exceed the maximum number of dwelling units per gross acre of the zoning district wherein the development is located.
