A Planned Residential Unit Development shall be considered as a unit, rather than an aggregation of separate individual buildings on unrelated lots. The provisions of this ordinance are intended to encourage imaginative planning and design in the development of land. As hereinafter provided, the City Council may grant a Planned Development Permit allowing deviations from the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances of the City of National City otherwise applicable to said. land, when such deviations are determined to be in the pub- lic interest. 2. A planned Residential Unit Development shall be permitted only on land in a zone classification in which residences are a permitted use. Except as hereinafter speci- fically provided, the same conditions and restrictions shall apply as specified for the zone in which the land is located. 3. The number of dwelling units in a Planned Residential Unit Development shall not exceed the number other- wise allowed, based on required lot area per dwelling unit in the zone in which the land is located. In no case shall the right-of-way of any public or private street, sidewalk, public or semi-public parking area, or adjacent pedestrian walk be included in the allowable lot area per dwelling unit. 4. The City Council, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission may at its discretion, allow two or more dwelling units to be attac hed, or combined into a single structure in a Planned Residential Unit Development in any zone classification. 5.

The area must be either in one ownership or the subject of an application filed jointly by the owners of all the prop- erty included. 6. Dimensions and area of Building Sites or Lots. Building sites or lots within a Planned Residential Unit Development may have any reasonable shape or dimension. The Planning Commission may approve reductions from lot sizes and areas otherwise required, provided that land acceptable to the City Council, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, is designated as permanent open and/or usable recreation area. The land area of each permanent open space and/or usable rec- reation area shall equal or exceed the total of all lot reduc- tions. Where the land within a Planned Residential Unit Devel- opment is subdivided into more than one lot the reduction in area of individual lots shall not exceed the amount specified in the following table: ZONE MINIMUM REQUIRED LOT CLASSIFICATION AREA PER DWELLING UNIT FOR STANDARD DEVELOPMENT (IN SQUARE FEET) MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE REDUCTION OF LOT AREA IN PLANNED RESIDENTIAL UNIT DEVELOPMENT -TO BE USED AS OPEN SPACE AND/OR RECREATION AREA (IN PERCENT AND SQUARE FEET) MINIMUM REMAINING LOT AREA PER LOT AND PER DWELLING UNIT FOR PLANNED RESIDENTIAL UNIT DEVELOP- MENT (IN SQUARE FEET) • R-1-S R-1 R-2 R-4 10,000 5,000 2,500 400 35% - 3,500 25% - 1,250 15% - 375 6,500 3,750 2,125 No Reduction 7.

Said covenants, conditions, and restrictions shall be subject to approval as to content and form by the City Attorney and the City Council, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission.

Residential Unit Development, the developer agrees to complete the installation of all improvements and other work required by the City in accordance with the approved plans, or an approved unit thereof. All of said installations and other work shall be completed within the time specified in the agreement. To assure the City that this work will be com- pleted and lien holders paid, the developer shall furnish the City with either: a.
