Furthermore, with a Planned <br />Development Permit :(PDP) authorized under Article 46 of the .honing <br />Ordinance the buildings exceeding 100 feet will be consistent with the <br />existing zoning. <br />(4) The purposes of the PDP process include encouraging flexibility .of design <br />and development of land .in such a manner as to promote its most <br />appropriate use; encouraging the development of innovative projects <br />which .incorporate the highest quality architectural solutions, building <br />materials and landscaping concepts; and promoting the most .functional and <br />aesthetic relationships between building structures, signs, open space and <br />parking areas.
