(b) The PUD must be consistent with the comprehensive plan.

(c) The uses must have a beneficial effect, in terms of public health, safety, welfare, or convenience, on present and future potential surrounding land uses. The uses proposed must not adversely affect the public utility and circulation system, surrounding properties, or the environment.

(d) Any modifications to the dimensional standards of this Ordinance, such as lot sizes, setbacks, height limits, required facilities, buffers, open space, permitted sign area, and other similar dimensional standards shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

(e) Any increase in the density requirements of the underlying zoning district must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and be included under review of the preliminary PUD site plan and in the PUD ordinance.
