Mixed residential allows both densities and unit types to be varied within the project. b. Mixed residential with increased density acknowledging the greater sensitivity of PUD projects; regulation provides increased density on the property if a PUD is utilized. c. Mixed land uses with the integration of compatible land uses within the project. (6) Applicability. Utilization of this zoning district is limited to the Highway 12 Corridor as set forth in the city's comprehensive plan amendment #2, adopted May 23, 1988; and to the Navarre Area as set forth in the City of Orono Community Management Plan adopted September 13, 2010.

Specific allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be delineated in an ordinance and development plan. The PUD development plan shall identify all the proposed land uses, and those uses shall become permitted uses with the acceptance of the development plan. Any change in list of uses presented in the development plan will be considered an amendment to the PUD and will follow the procedures specified in section 78-1005.

(b) The city shall consider the proposed PUD from the point of view of all standards and purposes of the comprehensive land use plan to achieve a maximum coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses, the conservation of woodlands and wetlands, the protection of health, safety and welfare of the community and residents of the PUD. To these ends, the city council shall consider: (1) The location of the buildings, compatibility, parking areas and other features with respect to the topography of the area and existing natural features such as streams and large trees; (2) The efficiency, adequacy and safety of the proposed layout of internal streets and driveways; (3) The adequacy and location of green areas; (4) The adequacy, location and screening of parking areas; and (5) Such other matters as the council may find to have a material bearing upon the stated standards and objectives of the comprehensive land use plan.
