Consideration has been given to “low impact development” stormwater concepts. 4. There will be adequate infrastructure capacity available by the time each phase of development is completed. 5. The master planned development contains design, landscaping, parking/traffic management, and use mixture and location that limit or mitigate conflicts between the master planned development and adjacent uses. 6. All potential significant off-site impacts including noise, shading, glare, and traffic have been identified and mitigation incorporated to the extent reasonable and practical. 7. The project is designed and includes appropriate consideration of open spaces and transportation corridors, designs of street and public open space amenities, and results in the functional and visual appearance of one integrated project. 8. The proposed development will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare. 9. The public benefits of approving the master planned development outweigh the effect of modification of standards to the underlying zoning district. 10.
