A. 
A conventional planned development is a special type of zoning district that deviates from one or more of the standards of the underlying zoning district. As such, this alternative form of development allows greater freedom, imagination, and flexibility in the development of land while ensuring substantial compliance with the basic intent of this chapter and the Village's Comprehensive Plan. Because development in a planned unit development overlay district is unique, a special set of development standards are established which are documented as set forth in this division.
B. 
In exchange for this flexibility, conventional planned developments provide a much higher level of site design, landscaping, architectural control, and other aspects of aesthetic and functional excellence than normally required for other developments, which may not be conceived and implemented as a comprehensive and cohesive unified project.
A conventional planned development may deviate from the underlying zoning district with regard to 1) permitted land uses, 2) dimensional standards, 3) building types, 4) design considerations, and 5) other requirements. All such deviations shall be made explicit in the petitioner's application and shall be recommended by the Plan Commission and explicitly approved by the Village Board. If not so requested and approved, such contemplated exemptions are not permitted.
A conventional planned development is reviewed as a planned development district as set forth in Article 5, except as may be specifically modified in this article.
A conventional planned development is allowed in any commercial or industrial zoning district.
At the time of establishment, the conventional planned development must include 15 acres or more of contiguous lands.
At the time of establishment, all land within a conventional planned development must be under single ownership or control.
A. 
Generally. When the underlying zoning district is a residential or commercial district, a combination of residential, recreational, and/or commercial uses may be allowed. When the underlying zoning is an industrial district, a combination of commercial and industrial uses may be allowed. A planned development district with a mix of residential and industrial uses is prohibited.
B. 
Listing in Appendix A.[1] All land uses allowed in an approved conventional planned development must be listed in Appendix A.

Code Editor's Note: See Ch. 330, Subdivision of Land.
If the Village Board approves a conventional planned development district, proposed development in the district is reviewed consistent with the requirements of this chapter as may apply (e.g., building, site, and plan of operation) and the approved general development plan.
