Prior to the issuance of any permits for development within a traditional
neighborhood development, the following steps shall be completed according
to the procedures outlined in this article:
A.
The applicant shall have had an initial conference.
B.
A general implementation plan and a Zoning Map amendment
to a Traditional Neighborhood Development District shall be approved by the
Plan Commission and Village Board.
C.
A specific implementation plan shall be approved by the
Plan Commission and Village Board.
Before submitting an application for a traditional neighborhood development
project, the applicant shall schedule an appointment and meet with the Village
Administrator to discuss the procedure for approval of a traditional neighborhood
development project, including submittal requirements and design standards.
A.
General implementation plan process. Following the initial
conference, the applicant shall submit a general implementation plan to the
Village Administrator together with an application for a Zoning Map amendment
to a Traditional Neighborhood Development District.
(1)
Within 60 days, the Plan Commission shall conduct a public
hearing to consider the Zoning Map amendment request and to consider a recommendation
for approval or disapproval of a general implementation plan. At this public
hearing, the Plan Commission shall receive a report from the Village Administrator
recommending approval, disapproval or approval with specified modifications.
Within 10 days, the Plan Commission shall recommend the Village Board either:
(2)
The Village Board shall receive the recommendation from
the Plan Commission and a report from the Village Administrator. Upon due
consideration, the Village Board shall either:
B.
General implementation plan submittal requirements. The
purpose of the general implementation plan is to establish the intent, density,
and intensity for a proposed development.
(1)
The general implementation plan shall include the following:
(a)
A general location map of suitable scale, but no less
than one inch equals 200 feet, which shows the location of the property within
the community and adjacent parcels, including locations of any public streets,
railroads, major streams or rivers and other major features within 1,000 feet
of the site.
(b)
A site inventory and analysis to identify site assets
or resources, and constraints, including but not limited to floodplains, wetlands
and soils classified as "poorly drained" or "very poorly drained," soils with
bedrock at or within 42 inches of the surface, utility easements for high-tension
electrical transmission lines (greater than 69KV), steep slopes greater than
15%, and brownfields.
(c)
A conceptual site plan, at a scale of no less than one
inch equals 100 feet, which indicates topography in two-foot contours for
sites with 15 feet or more of local relief, or one-foot contours for local
sites with less than 15 feet of local relief, consisting of a map with proposed
features and existing site features and uses that will remain. These features
should include building outlines, location of streets, drives and parking
areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, service access areas for receiving material
and trash removal, and other impervious surfaces. The location of proposed
and existing to remain trees and shrubs should also be included, along with
any other significant features. Areas to be dedicated to the Village shall
also be identified on the conceptual plan.
(d)
A conceptual stormwater management plan identifying the
proposed patterns of major stormwater runoff, locations of stormwater infiltration
areas, and other significant stormwater best management practices.
(e)
Identification of the architectural style(s) of the traditional
neighborhood development and the accompanying site design style(s). The design
style of the traditional neighborhood development shall be conveyed with drawings
or computer simulations of typical proposed building elevations (including
dimensions of building height and width, and facade treatment).
(f)
A written report that provides general information about
the associations to be created, association documents, covenants, conservation
easements, or agreements which will influence the use and maintenance of the
proposed development. The report shall also describe the site conditions and
the development objectives.
(g)
Any other information deemed necessary by the Village
in order to evaluate plans.
(2)
Three hard copies of the above information shall be submitted
plus one reduced set no larger than 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches. Additionally,
one copy shall be submitted in a commonly used digital format.
The purpose of the specific implementation plan is to establish a detailed
development proposal. The specific implementation plan can be proposed, reviewed,
and acted upon as whole or in part or phases.
A.
Specific implementation plan process. Following approval
of the general implementation plan, the applicant shall submit a specific
implementation plan to the Village Administrator.
(1)
Within 45 days following receipt of the specific implementation
plan, the Plan Commission shall receive a report from the Village Administrator
recommending approval, disapproval or approval with specified modifications.
The Plan Commission shall determine that the proposed specific implementation
plan is in substantial conformance with the approved general implementation
plan. Upon due consideration, the Plan Commission shall recommend that the
Village Board either:
(a)
Approve the specific implementation plan as being in
substantial conformance with the general implementation plan;
(b)
Approve the specific implementation plan as being in
substantial conformance with the general implementation plan with specified
modifications; or
(c)
Deny the specific implementation plan.
(2)
Following Plan Commission recommendation, the Village
Board shall receive the recommendation from the Plan Commission and the report
from the Village Administrator. Upon due consideration, the Village Board
shall either:
(a)
Approve the specific implementation plan as being in
substantial conformance with the general implementation plan;
(b)
Approve the specific implementation plan as being in
substantial conformance with the general implementation plan with specified
modifications; or
(c)
Deny the specific implementation plan.
B.
Specific implementation plan submittal requirements.
(1)
The applicant shall submit a series of plans, maps, and
written materials which include the following information:
(a)
A general location map of suitable scale which shows
the boundaries and dimensions of the property within the context of the Village
and adjacent parcels, including locations of any public streets, railroads,
major streams or rivers and other major features within 1,000 feet of the
site, along with a legal description of the property.
(b)
A site inventory and analysis to identify site assets
or resources, and constraints, including but not limited to floodplains, wetlands
and soils classified as "poorly drained" or "very poorly drained," soils with
bedrock at or within 42 inches of the surface, utility easements for high-tension
electrical transmission lines (greater than 69KV), slopes greater than 15%,
and brownfields.
(c)
A site plan, including proposed topographic contours
at two-foot intervals, with the following information:
