A.   Planned developments are of such substantially different character from other special uses that specific and additional standards and exceptions are hereby established to govern the recommendations of the planning and zoning commission and the action of the village board of trustees. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969; amd. Ord. 2014-48, 10-27-2014)

   B.   These regulations are designed to provide for the integrated development of substantial land areas into planned developments considering all the elements of planning; providing adequate relationship between structures and land uses; relaxing specific provisions of applicable district requirements; but at the same time providing for adequate space, light, air, use and bulk limitations. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

A planned development shall conform to the following requirements:

   A.   Be consistent with the purpose and intent of this title.

   B.   Be laid out and developed as a unit in accordance with an integrated overall design, as approved and authorized by the board of trustees.

   C.   The number of dwelling units erected shall not exceed the number permitted by the regulations of the district in which it is located unless an exception is permitted as stipulated under section 11-18-3 of this chapter.

   D.   The yards and open spaces adjoining the boundaries of the project shall not be less than the yard requirements of the district in which it is located.

   E.   No building is permitted to exceed the height limit of the district by more than ten percent (10%).

   F.   If more intensive uses (i.e., uses other than which the district is zoned, such as community business district usage in R-3 general residence districts) are granted than are permitted by the district regulations, there must be clear evidence that such uses are needed to service the project, provided the evidence shall show:

      1.   That the uses permitted by such exceptions are necessary or desirable and are appropriate with respect to the primary purpose of the development;

      2.   That the uses permitted by such exception are not of such a nature or so located as to exercise a detrimental influence on the development nor on the surrounding neighborhood;

      3.   That not more than ten percent (10%) of the gross floor area of such development shall be devoted to the uses permitted by said exception;

      4.   That in a planned industrial development, such additional uses allowed by exception shall conform with the performance standards of the district in which the development is located as set forth in this title; (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

      5.   That the use exceptions so allowed are recorded on the zoning district maps by appropriate symbols or by reference to documents on file with the building and zoning official; (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969; amd. 2012 Code)

      6.   Where the planned development is to be located in a residential district, no use exceptions shall be allowed unless the size of the planned development exceeds twenty (20) acres.

   G.   The amount of off street parking must be adequate to serve the needs of the projects, and the village board may require more off street parking than is otherwise required by this title.

   H.   If any open space or recreational facility is to be used solely by the residents of the project, adequate provisions shall be made for assessments against the property within the project for their proper improvement, maintenance and operation.

   I.   Underground utilities, including communications and electric systems, are required within the limits of a planned development. Appurtenances to these systems which can be effectively screened may be excepted from this requirement if the village board finds that such exemption will not violate the intent or character of the development.

   J.   The streets proposed must be suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic and increased densities and must not overload the street network outside the development. All ingress and egress streets must be constructed in accordance with the subdivision code.

   K.   The planned development must be in accordance with the comprehensive plan of the village.

   L.   The existing and proposed utility services must be adequate for the population densities proposed. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

In the case of any planned development, the planning and zoning commission may recommend, and the village board may authorize, exceptions to the applicable regulations of this title within the boundaries of such development; provided, that the evidence shows: (Ord. 2007-20, 5-24-2007; amd. Ord. 2014-48, 10-27-2014)

   A.   That such exception shall be solely for the purpose of encouraging a desirable living environment no less beneficial to the residents or occupants of such development, as well as of neighboring properties, than would be obtained under the bulk regulations of this title for buildings developed on separate zoning lots.

   B.   That maximum parcel coverage in a residential planned development shall not exceed twenty five percent (25%) in the residential zoning districts. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

   C.   Other standards for density, yard regulations, parking, loading and screening for a planned development shall be governed by the standards of the residential, business or manufacturing zoning district(s) most similar in nature and function to the proposed planned development as determined by the village board. Standards for public improvements shall be governed by the applicable ordinances and laws of the village. Exceptions to these standards by the village board are possible when they find that such exceptions are warranted in terms of the total proposed development. However, in regard to developments containing residential uses: (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969; amd. 2012 Code)

      1.   In no event shall the floor area ratio exceed more than thirty percent (30%) over that prescribed in this title for the district in which it is located.

      2.   In no event shall the minimum square footage per dwelling unit requirements applicable to such districts be decreased by more than ten percent (10%). A further decrease of not more than ten percent (10%) on the already reduced square footage per dwelling unit may be permitted in the event that parking facilities are provided either underground or in the building proper, i.e., for each underground or on building parking space, an equivalent reduction may be permitted to the allowable limit of ten percent (10%) before specified. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

   A.   Tentative Approval:

      1.   The developer shall submit a tentative planned development to the planning and zoning commission for an approval, in principle, and which the commission shall approve prior to the submission of an application for approval of a planned development special use permit. The written consent of all property owners within the development shall be on file with the village before study of a tentative planned development shall be commenced. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969; amd. Ord. 2014-48, 10-27-2014)

      2.   Any tentative development plan shall be prepared and shall include the following information presented in a general schematic fashion:

         a.   Proposed land uses, population densities and building intensities.

         b.   Proposed circulation pattern indicating both public and private streets and off street parking ratios.

         e.   Delineation of the units to be constructed in progression if any.

         f.   Relation to future land use in the surrounding area and the village comprehensive plan. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

      3.   Approval, in principle, of the tentative planned development shall be limited to the general acceptability of the land uses proposed and the interrelationships, and shall not be construed to endorse precise location of uses, configuration of parcels, or engineering feasibility. The purpose of this conference is to afford the developer an opportunity to avail himself of the advice and assistance of the planning and zoning commission before incurring the expense of a plan. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969; amd. Ord. 2014-48, 10-27-2014)

   B.   Application For Approval For Special Use Permit: Any person or persons owning lots or land within the village or any persons owning lots or land outside the village coming under a preannexation agreement may apply to the village board for approval of a planned development special use permit.

   C.   Public Hearing; Approval Or Denial Of Permit:

      1.   The planning and zoning commission shall hold a public hearing on the application. The planning and zoning commission may approve or disapprove the application or make recommendations regarding changes or revisions that it deems desirable, and forward their report and recommendation to the village board. Approval for each unit of the development by the village board shall be valid for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of approval of the final plan of planned development. (Ord. 2011-10, 2-28-2011; amd. Ord. 2014-48, 10-27-2014)

      2.   There shall also be submitted with the final plan, a written agreement of restrictions signed by the owners of the planned development assuring the village that the development will be carried out in full compliance with the final plan and within the time schedule of construction submitted with the final plan. Once the plan is authorized by the village board, no modification may be made without authorization of the village board. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)

Whenever the village board approves the final plan, the building and zoning official shall issue the necessary permits for all of the project or for such units thereof that are to be constructed. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969; amd. 2012 Code)

If no construction has commenced within a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of approval of the final plan, the permits shall be declared null and void, and the project shall not be initiated unless it is resubmitted and reapproved in the same manner that it was approved in the first instance. The village board may, however, extend the period for commencing construction in accordance with this section upon a showing of good and sufficient cause. (Ord. 2011-10, 2-28-2011)

At the time of the granting of the permit, the village board shall make appropriate arrangements with the applicant which will ensure the accomplishment at the scheduled times of the public improvements and grants of easement shown on the approved final plan. (Ord. 69-12, 4-23-1969)
