them establish that:

an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and
stability or that adequate assurance will be provided that such objective will be
attained and the uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential
surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which would not be achieved under
standard district regulations;
3. The streets and thoroughfares proposed 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;
