A planned development overlay shall be approved or denied based upon the following criteria, which are listed in order of priority regarding the weight to be given to each factor:

(a) Compliance with this chapter;

(b) Compliance with the allowed uses and maximum density for the future land use designation of the subject property as set forth in the comprehensive plan;

(c) The extent to which the PDO meets the development standards of SMC 10.24.100 and 10.24.110(a). They include minimum mandatory standards that cannot be reduced along with higher standards that are not mandatory, some of which are described as being preferred. Some of the higher standards may be necessary to assure consistency with the purpose of Title 10, SMC and compatibility with surrounding land uses or the PDP may need to document how meeting the minimum standards or only meeting the mandatory standards does so.

(d) The system of ownership and the means of development, preservation and maintenance of open space;

(e) Compliance with the city's subdivision code, if a proposed planned development overlay is combined with a proposal to divide land into lots. (Ord. 1995, § 1, 2016.)
