The purpose of the P-D Planned Development Districts
is to permit the establishment of areas in which diverse uses may
be brought together in a unified plan of development utilizing flexible
land use standards and design criteria.
In P-D Planned Development Districts, land and
buildings may be used for any lawful purpose as determined by the
Village Board, subject to the limitations and procedures contained
in this article.
P-D Planned Development Districts shall comprise
not less than 10 acres.
A.
Application for establishment of a Planned Development
District shall be made to the Village Board. The Village Board shall
refer the application to the Planning Board for consideration.
B.
The Planning Board may require the applicant to furnish
such preliminary plans, drawings and specifications as may be required
for an understanding of the proposed development. In reaching its
decision on the proposed development, the Planning Board shall consider,
among other things, the need for the proposed use in the proposed
location, the existing character of the neighborhood in which the
use would be located and the safeguards provided to minimize possible
detrimental effects of the proposed use on adjacent property and the
highway system.
C.
Lot area, width and setbacks should be determined
by the proposed uses, the adjoining zoning districts and uses, classification
of adjoining roads or proposed new roads, common open space provided
and similar factors; provided, however, that the overall average land
use density in the development is not less than that required in any
adjoining zoning district.
D.
The Planning Board shall approve, approve with modification
or disapprove such application and shall report its decision to the
Village Board.
E.
The Village Board shall hold a public hearing on the
proposal, with public notice as provided by law in the case of an
amendment to this chapter.
F.
The Village Board may then amend this chapter so as
to define the boundaries of the Planned Development District, but
such action shall have the effect only of granting permission for
development of the specific proposal in accordance with this chapter
and within the area so designated and with the specifications, plans
and elevations submitted.
