independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability or that

not be achieved under standard district regulations because of the conditions placed on this
development;
3. The streets and thoroughfares to be constructed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated
traffic, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street
network outside the PUD;
