The purpose of the Planned Unit Development District (PUD) is to achieve, to the greatest possible degree, land development that is responsive to the natural and environmental assets and liabilities of a given site. The PUD provides an alternative zoning category that is intended to encourage imaginative design of development. The PUD should be a well-integrated development in terms of major design elements such as roads, drainage systems, utilities, and open space. The PUD allows greater design flexibility so that natural features may be protected and development concentrated in an innovative and efficient manner.

(Ord. 01-014. Passed 7-17-01.)

   (a)   Subsequent to the approval of the Village Council, the designation of PUD may be applied to any existing zoning district, with the limitations described herein. There are two types of PUDs:

      (1)   A PUD may be a predominantly residential development, in which case it is referred to as a PUD-RS. A PUD-RS may only be applied to an existing residential district. The tract of land proposed to be developed as a PUD-RS must be owned, leased, or controlled by one person or single entity and must be at least five contiguous acres in size.

      (2)   A PUD may also be a mixed-use development, referred to as a PUD- MX. A PUD-MX may be applied to any existing nonresidential zoning district. The tract of land proposed to be developed as a PUD- MX must be owned, leased, or controlled by one person or single entity and must be at least five contiguous acres in size.

      (3)   A PUD must conform to the existing comprehensive and thoroughfare plans.

   (b)   Upon the approval of the final development plan according to this chapter, the Official Village Zoning Map shall be amended to designate the property “PUD-RS” or “PUD-MX.”

(Ord. 01-014. Passed 7-17-01.)

   The permitted uses in both the PUD-RS and PUD-MX district are as follows:

   (a)   Permitted Uses; PUD-RS. An applicant may propose to include any mixture of permitted or conditional uses in any existing residential district. Additionally, an applicant may propose land uses which are allowed as a permitted use in the GB district, provided that not more than 25% of the net acres in the development is devoted to nonresidential uses.

   (b)   Permitted Uses; PUD-MX. An applicant may propose to include any mixture of nonresidential land uses in a proposed PUD-MX development, provided that at least 60% of the net acres in the development are devoted to uses permitted in the district(s) applying to the property at the time of application. If the subject property is being annexed into the Village and no existing zoning district is applicable, any combination of nonresidential land uses may be proposed.

(Ord. 01-014. Passed 7-17-01.)

   The following standards represent broad parameters under which all PUD developments must be designed:

   The applicant for a PUD is encouraged to informally present conceptual plans to both the Planning Commission and Village Council for review prior to extensive engineering. Plans may include the proposal to phase construction of the PUD development. Property proposed to be developed as a PUD must be rezoned to PUD; and the decision to approve a final development plan and to rezone property to PUD are done concurrently. The PUD review process must satisfy all of the applicable requirements of this chapter.

(Ord. 01-014. Passed 7-17-01.)

   The applicant for a PUD development shall submit 12 copies of the proposed Final Plan to the Responsible Authority, submitting the appropriate application fee and satisfying the following requirements:

   (a)   Final Plan.

      (1)   The final plan shall include the following:

         A.   The specific description of permitted, conditionally permitted, and accessory uses to be allowed in each area of the development.

         B.   A copy of proposed deed restrictions.

         C.   The final plan shall be drawn to illustrate:

            1.   A survey and legal description of the proposed development site, showing dimensions and bearings of the property lines; area in acres, topography (at 2-foot contour intervals); and existing features of the development site, including major wooded areas, streets, easements, utility lines, existing land uses.

            2.   The location and dimensions of all lots, setbacks, and building envelopes.

            3.   Conceptual drawings of sewer and water facilities, as well as street and drainage systems.

            4.   A table indicating acreage devoted to various development types.

            5.   Ensure that the general requirements for the final site plan review outlined in Chapter 1248 have been satisfied.

         D.   Landscaping plan for all buffers and other common areas.

         E.   Architectural guidelines to apply throughout the development.

         F.   The proposed names of all interior streets proposed for the development.

         G.   Layout and dimensions of all parking and loading areas along with an indication of what they are to be built to serve.

         H.   Any applicable phasing that will be involved with the construction.

         I.   Subdivision's name.

      (2)   In addition to the above, the Village Council may require additional information including environmental impact studies and archaeological surveys prepared by appropriate professionals to document the impacts of the development, and to address potential mitigation measures. The applicant shall be responsible for reasonable expenses incurred by the Village in reviewing final development plans. Such expenses are beyond application fees established by the Village and may include professional service fees, such as legal expenses or fees from other professionals, such as engineers, landscape architects, planners, or environmental scientists incurred in connection with reviewing the plans submitted.

   (b)   Final Plan and Rezoning Approval Procedure. The decision to rezone land to PUD and to approve the final plan are accomplished concurrently. All PUD final plat submissions are deemed to be an application for amending the existing Zoning District in accordance with Chapter 1244. All procedures (Planning Commission Review, public hearings, and action by the Council), therein shall be followed in considering an application for the rezoning of the parcel(s) in question to a PUD zone. Upon approval of such plan and rezoning, the Village Zoning Map shall be amended to reflect the area designated as “PUD-RS” or “PUD-MX.” Thereafter, with the concurrent approval of the rezoning and final plat pursuant to the criteria outlined in Chapter 1244 and 1248, all development restrictions and conditions described in the final plan shall become official PUD requirements.

   (c)   Criteria for Approval of Final Plan. The Planning Commission and Village Council shall review the proposed Final Plan according to the following criteria:

      (1)   The proposed plat conforms with the general goals and objectives of the Village's master plan.

      (2)   The proposed development promotes the general health, safety, and welfare of the community.

      (3)   The proposed interior road system, parking, and any other off-site improvements are adequately designed to carry anticipated traffic efficiently within the development and surrounding areas.

      (4)   Any exception from standard district requirements can be warranted by design and other amenities incorporated in the final development plan according to these PUD requirements.

      (5)   The area surrounding said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the Village's master plan.

      (6)   The existing and proposed utilities, including water and sewer service and drainage plan, will be adequate for the health and safety of the population and nonresidential uses proposed in the PUD.

(Ord. 01-014. Passed 7-17-01.)

   (a)   After the final development plan has been approved by the Village Council, adjustments or rearrangements of buildings, parking areas, entrances, heights, or yards may be requested by the proponents. Minor changes, as defined herein, are allowed provided such requests conform to the standards established by the final development plan and this Zoning Code. A minor change shall require approval by the Planning Commission, and shall include the following:

      (1)   Adjustments to the size and location of buildings, swimming pools, and other on-site structures provided:

         A.   They do not result in an increase in the number of housing units approved in the final plan.

         B.   They do not encroach into the established setback areas.

         C.   They do not create a larger building mass, either through an increase in their height or length that would magnify their effect on the adjoining areas.

      (2)   Alterations to the proposed drives and/or parking areas if they do not encroach into building areas or specified recreation areas.

      (3)   Adjustments in the size and location of development identification signs.

   (b)   A “major change” is any change that does not meet the criteria above and, in addition, is one which would constitute a significant alteration in the basic plan design or result in a use different from those originally intended. A major change shall require submittal of a final plan, as defined in Section 1284.07, of that portion of the development proposed to undergo a major change.
