In carrying out the intent of this Chapter, the Planning Commission shall consider the following principles:
(1) It is the intent of this Chapter that site and building plans for a planned unit development shall be prepared by a designer or team of designers having professional competence in urban planning as proposed in the application. The Commission may require the applicant to engage such a qualified designer or design team.
(2) It is not the intent of this section that control of a planned unit development by the Planning Commission be so rigidly exercised that individual initiative be stifled and substantial additional expense incurred; rather, it is the intent of this Section that the control exercised be the minimum necessary to achieve the purpose of this Chapter.
(3) The Planning Commission may approve or disapprove an application for a planned unit development. In an approval, the Commission may attach such conditions as it may deem necessary to secure compliance with the purposes set forth in Section 7-1. The denial of an application for a planned unit development by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the County Commission.
