Section 17.54.010 is hereby amended to read as follows: 17.54.010 Intent and purpose. It is recognized that an integrated development provides an opportunity for cohesive design when flexible regulations are applied. The planned commercial development zone is intended to allow for innovative design and diversification in the relationship of various uses, buildings, structures, lot sizes and open spaces while ensuring compliance with the general plan and the intent of the municipal code. In addition, the development would provide adequate improvements and standards necessary to satisfy the requirements of the public health, safety and general welfare. This zone is not to be used to restrict commercial development or to compromise other zoning districts that may be more appropriate for a site. Instead, it enables a developer to obtain approval of a specific, detailed plan for a commercial development which ensures that the uniqueness of the project design being proposed is preserved. Standards shall be observed without unduly inhibiting the advantages of modem site planning techniques and innovative planning of commercial and professional office neighborhoods. Land may be classified as being solely within a PCD zone (exclusive zone), or the PCD zone may be used as a combining zone in a C-O, C-1, C-2, or CC zone to assign a base zone defining allowable uses and ensure future site development will be compatible with surrounding development and/or to recognize unique site characteristics. SECTION 2. Section 17.54.020(B) is hereby amended to read as follows: 17.54.020 Uses permitted. B. Uses for land classified as being within a PCD zone or a PCD combining zone are as follows: " ~AK.e.o () '"" '- -0 ~ iñ .- r- 0.,,_ '0 , . _'~"""'''~! --.---- .~----...----_.".. SECTION 3. Section 17.54.030(B), (C) and (D) are hereby amended to read as follows: 17.54.030 Application B. When the PCD zone is used as a combining zone, the zone change application is not required to include development plans. Development plans as indicated in subsections A1 through A4 and A6 shall be required prior to approval of a subdivision map pursuant to Section 16.28.170 o or prior to issuance of a building permit as appropriate, and shall be considered at an advertised public hearing before the planning commission. A complete application and fee shall be required. The application and fee shall be the same as that for a site plan review hearing. The hearing shall constitute the review and approval of the preliminary development plans. Modifications to approved plans will be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 17.54.100. C. When the PCD zone is used as a combining zone, approval of development plans by the planning commission is final. If appealed, development plans shall be presented to the city council for final action at a noticed public hearing in accordance with Section 17.64.050 B. SECTION 4. Section 17.54.060 is hereby amended to read as follows: 17.54.060 Latitude of regulations. In the approval of PCD plans, the planning commission or city council may approve or require in the final development plan, standards, regulations, limitations and restrictions either more or less restrictive than those specified elsewhere in the municipal code and which are designed to protect and maintain property values and provide or protect community amenities which would foster and maintain the health, safety and general welfare of the community, including and relating to but not limited to the following: SECTION 5.
