improve the health, safety and general welfare of the people
residing within the Community by encouraging the use of contem-
porary land planning principles. The provisions of this zone are
intended to allow diversification of uses, relationships and
heights of buildings and open spaces in planned building groups
while insuring compliance with the spirit, intent and other pro-
visions of the zoning ordinance.

sufficient acreage to be suitable for development as described
in the Description and Purpose of this zone. Furthermore, said
area shall be under single ownership or controlled by a single
entity at the time of application and until the effective date
of the ordinance approving the proposed General Plan of Develop-
ment.
(3) Contiguous land may be added to an existing PC Zone
provided said land is made a part of the General Plan of Develop-
ment as hereinafter provided. Contiguous shall mean having a
common boundary with the property to which it is to be added or
shall mean that the property is so physically located that in the
opinion of the City Council, after review of a recommendation by
the Planning Commission, said additional area bears a significant
relationship to the approved and adopted General Plan of Develop-
ment.
