East Dundee City Zoning Code

PLANNED UNIT

DEVELOPMENT

§ 157.240 PURPOSE; INTENT.

   (A)   Purpose.
      (1)   Planned Unit Developments are unique and differ substantially from conventional subdivisions and therefore require administrative processing as "special uses" under this title. Planned Unit Developments are a complex type of special use, potentially consisting of various land uses and design elements, requiring the establishment of more specific procedures, standards and exceptions from the strict application of the zoning district regulations to guide the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the action of the Village Board.
      (2)   The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to provide for an alternative zoning procedure under which land can be developed or redeveloped with innovation, increased amenities and creative environmental and architectural design than would be possible to achieve under the otherwise standard zoning district regulations while being in general compliance with the planning objectives and intent of the zoning ordinance. Under this procedure, well planned residential, industrial/manufacturing, commercial and other types of land uses, individually or in combination, may be developed with design flexibility allowing for full utilization of the topographical and environmental characteristics of the site.
      (3)   Planned Unit Developments must have an approved development plan which provides for a unified design, contiguity between various elements and be environmentally compatible with the surrounding area. There should be an increased benefit upon the health, safety and general welfare of the public and developments built in conformity with the underlying district regulations. If building density is increased above densities allowable by the zoning district in which the use would be permitted on a particular portion of a PUD; then the amount of open space, retention of existing vegetation, buffer areas, new landscape, public commons, community open space, and parks shall be evaluated for proportionate increase for the remainder of the PUD.
   (B)   Intent. The Planned Unit Development is not intended to be a mechanism solely used for the allowance of increased densities or as a means of circumventing the bulk regulations or zoning standards under this title; rather a Planned Unit Development shall generally provide attributes in excess of conventional village zoning, building and other land use requirements such as, but not limited to the following:
      (1)   Providing a maximum choice of the overall living environment through a variety of type, design and layout of residential structures, commercial and industrial buildings, office and research uses and public facilities.
      (2)   Demonstrating excellence in environmental design and the mitigation of land use factors or impacts.
      (3)   Promoting a more useful pattern of dedicated open space and recreation areas incorporated as part of the development plan and that is compatible with the immediate vicinity.
      (4)   Provide public access and pedestrian connectivity via bicycle/recreational paths, sidewalks and/or alternative modes of transportation.
      (5)   Providing and or preserving substantial landscaping with emphasis given to streetscape areas, buffer zones, and the provision of significant landscaping (in terms of size of landscape areas and quantity and quality of landscape materials) within the developed portions of the site.
      (6)   Incorporating a consistent architectural theme which is unique to the specific site and surrounding community through the use of building materials, signage and way-finding standards as well as design elements. Generic corporate architecture and big box designs are strongly discouraged but not prohibited. Uses should be designed according to the limitation of the site rather than the removal of the limitations. Specific design details such as roof parapets, architectural details, varying roof heights, pitches and materials and building colors and materials should be addressed.
      (7)   Retain, utilize and incorporate historic features on the project site into the overall project design, if physically and economically feasible; and/or
      (8)   Promote and strengthen the economic vitality and enhance the aesthetic qualities of unified large-scale commercial developments.
      (9)   Encourage high-quality planned industrial park environments and well-designed business centers for single or multiple-tenant facilities.
      (10)   Provide/enhance regional public infrastructure such as roadways, water/sanitary service, stormwater management objectives.

§ 157.241 AUTHORITY.

   (A)   The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review and recommend approval, approval with modification or denial of applications for Planned Unit Developments. The Village Board shall have final decision to approve, approve with modification, or deny applications for Planned Unit Developments.
   (B)   The procedures set forth in this chapter shall apply to all Planned Unit Developments.
   (C)   Planned Unit Developments may be allowed in each of the zoning districts in the Village of East Dundee only as a special use as prescribed in § 157.086 and approved pursuant to the procedures set forth in § 157.224.
   (D)   Bulk regulations set forth in the zoning ordinance shall not apply to Planned Unit Developments; provided, however, that the off-street parking and loading regulations set forth in §§ 157.120 through 157.150 of this title shall apply to all Planned Unit Developments.
(Ord. 14-27, passed 9-15-2014)

§ 157.242 DEFINITION AND SIZE LIMITATIONS.

   (A)   A Planned Unit Development is a tract of land which is developed as a unit under single ownership or control, which includes two or more principal buildings, and which is at least two acres in area, and Planned Unit Developments in manufacturing districts which shall be at least two acres in area.
   (B)   All land area within a Planned Unit Development must be contiguous; provided that properties separated by highways, streets, public ways, railroads or other public utility right-of-ways may be deemed contiguous for the purpose of qualifying as a Planned Unit Development.

   (A)   No changes may be made to the approved final Planned Unit Development plat unless approved by the village. The nature of the requested change, either minor or major, to the Planned Unit Development will be determined by the Village Administrator, or designee, as follows:
      (1)   Minor changes. Minor changes to the final PUD plat are modifications or revisions that do not alter the overall intent of the PUD. Minor changes may be approved by the Village Administrator, or designee if the proposed modification does not result in any of the following:
         (a)   An increase or decrease in overall density greater than 5%.
         (b)   An increase or decrease in the mixture of residential dwelling unit types greater than 5%.
         (c)   An increase or decrease in area for any land use or land use mixture greater than 5%.
         (d)   An increase or decrease in total number of parking spaces greater than 5%.
         (e)   Any reduction in area of common open space, landscaping or buffering, particularly when reduced below the minimum standard prescribed in § 157.250 (Development Standards and Design Criteria).
         (f)   Any significant changes in building layout, orientation or height of buildings.
         (g)   A change in the functional classification of a roadway.
         Minor changes not approved by the Village Administrator may be appealed by the applicant or property owner to the Village Board without review and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, unless the Village Board refers the request for a minor change to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and recommendation.
      (2)   Major changes. Major changes to the final PUD plat are modifications which alter the concept or intent of the approved PUD exceeding the criteria set forth constituting a minor change. Major changes to the final PUD plat shall be subject to review and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission with final approval or denial determined by the Village Board.
   (B)   Application for PUD modification or changes. For any modifications or changes resulting in an amendment to an approved final PUD plat, the applicant shall submit a revised plat and supporting data with an application for a major or minor change to the Clerk's Office in accordance with the following:
      (1)   The title of the plat shall indicate the nature of the change.
      (2)   If a major change, the revised plat and supporting data with an application shall be submitted to the Clerk's Office not less than 45 days before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
   (C)   Notice for major changes to PUD plat. The notice for a major change to an approved final PUD plat shall conform to the requirements of § 157.247.
   (D)   All approved major or minor changes to an approved final PUD plat shall be recorded with the county and shall be binding on the applicants, their successors, grantees and assigns and shall govern the development of the PUD, as set forth therein.

§ 157.249 CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL.

   The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of a special use for Planned Unit Development or amendments to the preliminary or final Planned Unit Development plat for the proposed development or amendment upon considering the following:
   (A)   In what respect does the design of the Planned Unit Development meet the requirements and design standards of the development standards and design criteria?
   (B)   The extent to which the proposed plan deviates and/or requires waivers of the bulk regulations in the zoning ordinance and how the modifications in design standards from the subdivision control regulations fulfill the intent of those regulations.
   (C)   The extent of public benefit produced by the Planned Unit Development, such as but not limited to, the adequacy of common open space and/or public recreational facilities provided; sufficient control over vehicular traffic; provision of public services; provision and protection of the reasonable enjoyment of the land.
   (D)   The relationship and compatibility, beneficial or adverse, of the Planned Unit Development to the adjacent properties and nearby land uses.
   (E)   The extent to which the Planned Unit Development fulfills the objectives of the future planning objectives or other planning policies of the village.

§ 157.250 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND DESIGN CRITERIA.

   (A)   Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish and provide a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines in which Planned Unit Developments are designed. While specific recommendations for development and design are provided, flexibility is also encouraged through guidelines which enable individual developments to be distinct from one another while maintaining the inherent character of the village.
   (B)   Applicability. These standards and established criteria shall apply to all newly constructed buildings and sites within a Planned Unit Development. Each proposed development will be evaluated on its compliance with the established regulations/guidelines contained herein.
   (C)   Density. The density, minimum lot size and minimum setback dimension for each use proposed within a PUD shall be determined by the conventional zoning classification which would permit the proposed use unless a variance is specifically requested as part of the special use request.
   (D)   Use regulations. Planned Unit Developments may be comprised of a single-type of land use or a mixture of land uses when applicable and when different intensity of land uses are appropriately buffered or separated.
      (1)   Uses proposed shall be consistent with those listed as allowable uses in the respective zoning districts.
      (2)   Uses listed as special uses in the zoning district in which the development is located may be allowed.
   (E)   The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend and the Village Board may approve access to a dwelling by a driveway or pedestrian walk easement. Off street parking facilities for such dwelling shall be located not more than 200 feet from the dwelling served.
   (F)   The Planning and Zoning Commission also may recommend and the Village Board may approve yards of lesser widths or depths than required for permitted uses in the zoning classification which the planned development is including, provided:
      (1)   Those protective covenants are recorded with perpetual access easements and off street parking spaces for use by the residents of the dwellings served.
      (2)   That spacing between buildings shall be consistent with the application of recognized site planning principles for securing a unified development and that due consideration is given to the openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys.
      (3)   The yards for principal buildings along the periphery of the development shall be not less in width or depth than required for permitted uses in the district in which the planned unit development is included and the plan is developed to afford adequate protection to neighboring properties, i.e. fire protection and sufficient area needed for utility easements, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the Village Board.

§ 157.254 EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

   (A)   The Planned Unit Development shall be constructed in a timely manner. The Planned Unit Development shall be subject to revocation under the following conditions:
      (1)   Final plat approval does not occur within 12 months from the date of approval of the preliminary plat of a planned unit development.
      (2)   Construction does not commence and proceed within three years from the date of approval of the final plat of a Planned Unit Development.
      (3)   The Village Board may extend the time limits for final plat approval for no more than two 12-month periods. Commencement for construction may also be extended by the Village Board in one year increments.
   (B)   The owner of the parcel of land on which the Planned Unit Development is to be constructed may apply for the revocation of the Planned Unit Development at any time prior to the commencement of construction. In the event a change in circumstances occurs or additional information is received by the village which substantially affects the approved final plat prior to the commencement of construction, the village may consider revocation. In such an event, the village shall give the owner no less than 30 days prior notice, in writing, of a hearing to consider the revocation of the approval of the Planned Unit Development.
   (C)   The Village Board shall consider, but not be limited to, the following standards in the review of the status of the project construction to determine whether there is reasonable cause for delay:
      (1)   The original program of development with regard to market demand for the components included in the final plan;
      (2)   Conditions in the real estate finance market;
      (3)   General economic conditions in the local area, state or region;
      (4)   The ability and purposefulness of development operations for the Planned Unit Development; and
      (5)   Laws, ordinances or other regulations that may have affected timely development of the project.
   (D)   Upon consideration of the findings by the Village Board regarding the standards in § 157.253(C), the Village Board shall decide whether:
      (1)   To revoke those portions of the Planned Unit Development for which construction has not begun;
      (2)   To extend the time allotted for construction to commence based upon a revised schedule of construction; or
      (3)   To require special changes in the Planned Unit Development as a condition of a time extension, whereby such changes shall be deemed a "major change" to the Planned Unit Development.
   (E)   Upon revocation of a Planned Unit Development, the parcel of land shall conform to the permitted uses and other regulations of the underlying zoning district of which it is a special use unless an amendment or other special use is initiated by the Village Board or is applied for by the owner of the parcel of land on which the Planned Unit Development was to be constructed and granted by the Village Board.
