The Governing Body, unless it has previously committed itself to approval of a `specific' density, reserves the right to reduce the density on all or any portion of a PD when it determines that the design fails to fulfill the purposes of this Code and Chapter. ALL REQUIRED PERIMETER STREET RIGHTS-OF-WAY SHALL BE DEDICATED AT THE TIME OF APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAN."
