A.Â
The planned unit development conditional use is intended
to permit developments that will, over a period of time, be enhanced
by coordinated area site planning, diversified location of structures
and/or mixing of compatible uses. Such developments are intended to
provide a safe and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle traffic;
to provide attractive recreation and open spaces as integral parts
of the developments; to enable economic design in the location of
public and private utilities and community facilities; and to ensure
adequate standards of construction and planning. The planned unit
development under this chapter will allow for flexibility of overall
development design, with benefits from such design flexibility intended
to be derived by both the developer and the community, while at the
same time maintaining, insofar as possible, the land use density and
other standards or use requirements as set forth in the underlying
basic zoning district.
B.Â
The unified and planned development of a site in a single, partnership or corporate ownership or control or in common ownership under the Unit Ownership Act set forth in Ch. 703 (condominiums), Wis. Stats., may be permitted by the City upon specific petition under § 530-31 of this chapter and after public hearing, with such development encompassing one or more principal uses or structures and related accessory uses or structures, when all regulations and standards as set forth in this article have been met.
This article contemplates that there may be
residential, commercial, and industrial planned unit developments
and mixed compatible use developments.
A planned unit development shall be consistent
in all respects with the expressed intent of this article and with
the spirit and intent of this chapter, shall be in conformity with
the adopted Comprehensive Plan, neighborhood plan or any adopted component
thereof, and shall not be contrary to the general welfare and economic
prosperity of the community.
A.Â
Minimum area requirements. Areas designated as planned
unit developments shall contain a minimum development area as follows:

may be modified; however, in no case shall the average density in
a residential district exceed the number of dwelling units that would
have been permitted if the planned unit development regulations had
not been utilized.
