B. Provide for Enhanced Amenities and Innovation in Energy Efficiency. Require enhanced amenities (e.g., additional and enhanced private and public open space areas) and provide incentives for enhanced energy efficiency and sustainable building approaches than generally required by this zoning code; and

C. Meet City’s Expectations. Meet city expectations that each planned development permit project be of obvious and significantly higher quality than would be achieved through conventional design practices and standards. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
