PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
As used in this subchapter, the term "planned development" or "PD" means a development wherein, in accordance with an approved development plan:
(A)
Common open space is reserved;
(B)
Various housing types and other structures and uses may be mixed; and/or
(C)
Overall average density does not exceed the usual zoning district limit.
(Ord. No. 1712, § 2, 2-16-21)
This Section authorizes development of Planned Developments and establishes procedures in order to achieve the objectives enumerated in Section 40-1-2 and the following additional objectives:
(A)
To provide a regulatory mechanism whereby the Village can be assured that upon completion, approved development projects will substantially conform to the plans or models which constituted the basis for the issuance of the necessary zoning and subdivision permits;
(B)
To permit development of a wide variety of housing types and other structures and uses in a single comprehensively planned project;
(C)
To preserve the natural topography, scenic features, mature trees and historic structures existing on sites proposed for development;

(E)
To ensure the provision of usable, common, open space in planned developments, and to spur installation of various amenities therein;
(F)
To facilitate the economical installation of standard streets, sewers, utilities, and other improvements.
(Ord. No. 1712, § 2, 2-16-21)
Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Chapter, planned developments—including all structures and uses therein—shall, at a minimum, be built in conformity with all applicable codes and ordinances, including the Zoning Code and the Subdivision Code.
(Ord. No. 1712, § 2, 2-16-21)
Planned Developments may be built in any Zoning District, but only upon approval by the Village Board after a hearing before the Combined Planning and Zoning Board.

The Planned Development concept is intended to afford both the developer and the Village considerable flexibility in formulating development proposals.

Any proposed deviation not listed below, however, shall require a variance.
(A)
Mixed Uses. Planned Developments may include all types of residential structures and any other uses approved by the Combined Planning and Zoning Board, provided that in approving such mixed uses, the Combined Planning and Zoning Board may attach any conditions necessary to protect the public welfare.

Lot and Structure Requirements. In Planned Developments, the Village Board may approve any reasonable deviation from the lot and structure requirements of the particular zoning district so long as the different uses within the PD are appropriately interrelated and property abutting the PD is adequately protected from any potential adverse impacts of the development. "Lot and structure requirements" means minimum individual lot area, width and depth; minimum setbacks; and maximum structure height.
(C)
Accessory Uses. In PDs the Combined Planning and Zoning Board may allow the developer to disregard the usual restrictions on accessory uses other than the prohibition against using an accessory structure as a dwelling.
(D)
Location of Parking/Loading Spaces. By permission of the Combined Planning and Zoning Board, off-street parking and loading spaces in PDs need not be located in accordance with generally applicable requirements. The minimum number of such spaces, however, shall not be less than the number required as per Section 40-15-1 et seq.
