body, except in a city having a population of more than one million

persons, is hereby authorized to enact, as part of its zoning local law

or ordinance, procedures and requirements for the establishment and

mapping of planned unit development zoning districts. Planned unit

development district regulations are intended to provide for

furtherance of the city comprehensive plan and zoning local law or

ordinance.
