designation and the open space outlot is consistent with the P -I land use designation on the
Comprehensive Plan land use guide plan map.
2. The proposed development would preserve the majority of the stand of existing trees on the
west side of the property by clustering the development in larger buildings as permitted in
areas guided LA -3.
3. The proposed development would meet the purpose and intent of the PUD and P -I zoning
districts by providing a mix of residential uses and open spaces for parks and trails.
4. With the required improvements, there is adequate infrastructure to serve the proposed
development.
5. The development proposes adequate transitions between the higher density development
proposed and the adjacent existing land uses.
6. The development proposes housing types for a special needs elderly population and would be
the only skilled nursing care center in Plymouth.
