area.
If the property involved is composed of land falling ink

permitted number of dwelling units may be distributed without regar6

from a public or private street shall maintain a minimum setback of

increased height will benefit the project, will be compatible to th
surrounding development and area, and not unduly block the view of
surrounding properties and scenic highways;
(5) Parking. Nonresidential planned unit developments
shall provide parking in accord with the requirements of the under-
lying zone.
Residential planned unit developments shall provide parki

unit, which shall be so located as not to interfere with one-site

ment to such permit. Furthermore, the City Council must find evide
that such off-site storage area is suitable and not detrimental to
surrounding properties of such storage area;
(7) Centralized refuse pickup areas may be required for
residential development with five or more dwelling units and for no
residential development if deemed to be necessary by the City Counc
(8) Screening of parking area. Open parking areas conta
ing five or more parking spaces shall be effectively screened from
abutting residential-zoned property by permanent buildings or alley
or by a 20-foot wide landscaped setback, or by a 6-foot high view-
obscuring wall, fence or landscaped screen between the parking area
and such abutting residential property. If such parking area is
visible from a street, either public or private, it shall be screen
from such street by a 36-inch high view-obscuring wall or fence
that is at least 10 feet from the exterior property line. The exte
rior yard wall is not required if the parking area is screened fron
