Planned Unit Development
§ 595-35 PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District.
A.
Purpose. The PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District is intended to:
(1)
Permit developments that will, over a period of time, be enhanced by coordinated area site planning, diversified location of structures and/or mixing of compatible uses;
(2)
Provide a safe and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle traffic;
(3)
Provide attractive recreation and open spaces as integral parts of the developments;
(4)
Enable economic design in the location of public and private utilities and community facilities;
(5)
Ensure adequate standards of construction and planning;
(6)
Allow for flexibility of overall development design with benefits from such design flexibility intended to be derived by both the developer and the community, while, at the same time, maintaining, insofar as possible, the land use density and other standards or use requirements as set forth in the underlying basic zoning district; and
(7)
Accommodate areas of integrated mixed land uses, innovative lot sizes and physical design, and strong commitments to commonly held open space.
B.
Overlay district approach; application to existing use districts.
(1)
The PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall operate as an overlay zone and as an alternative to the permitted uses and regulations applicable to existing districts. The PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District is a supplemental zoning classification called "over" an underlying zoning district or districts to provide an opportunity to develop land in a manner that does not fit the configuration or standards of the underlying districts.
(2)
The PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall be applicable only to those lands which may hereafter be zoned PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District by the Village Board, at its discretion.
(3)
Basic underlying zoning requirements for lands overlay zoned as a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall continue in full force and effect and shall be solely applicable until such time as the Village Board grants final approval to the PUD under the procedures hereinafter provided in this article.
C.
Applicability to parcels with single ownership. The unified and planned development of a site in a single, partnership or corporate ownership or control or in common ownership under the Unit Ownership Act set forth in Chapter 703 of the Wisconsin Statutes (condominiums) may be permitted by the Village of Grantsburg upon specific petition under § 595-43 of this chapter and after public hearing, with such development encompassing one or more principal uses or structures and related accessory uses or structures, when all regulations and standards as set forth in this chapter have been met.
D.
Conformance with laws and regulations.
(1)
A PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District authorized and approved as herein provided shall be carried out in conformity with all federal, state, and municipal laws and regulations. However, in the interpretation and application of this article, the regulations contained in this article shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this article and other local zoning or subdivision regulations.
(2)
A PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District project shall be consistent in all respects with the expressed intent of this article and with the intent and spirit of this Zoning Code and its underlying districts; it shall be in conformity with the adopted Village Comprehensive Plan or any component thereof and shall not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of the community.

A.
Types. This article contemplates that there may be residential, commercial, and industrial planned unit developments and mixed compatible use developments as PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay Districts.
B.
Permitted uses.
(1)
Basic underlying permitted uses. All uses permitted under the basic zoning regulations applicable to the underlying zoning district in which the particular property is located are allowed.
(2)
Permitted accessory uses. Any accessory use permitted in the underlying zoning district(s) is permitted in the PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District.
(3)
Conditional uses. Any conditional use permitted in the underlying zoning district(s) may be applied for in the PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District. The review of conditional uses proposed to be located within the planned unit development would be conducted as part of the overall review of the PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District application.
(4)
Schools, parks, and recreation facilities. The developer in the preparation of his/her PUD proposal shall consult with and receive the approval of the Village as to the reservation of suitable sites for adequate area for future schools, parks, playgrounds, drainageways, and other public uses if so designated on the Comprehensive Plan, Official Map, or component area development plan, if any, or as required by the Village of Grantsburg.
(5)
Nonresidential uses. Nonresidential uses are limited to those uses specifically approved by the Plan Commission and Village Board and are permitted in a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District based, in part, on the following criteria:
(a)
Nonresidential development shall be integrated into the total design of the PUD project.
(b)
The Village, at its option, may require that the areas and types of nonresidential facilities to be allowed in a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District project be based on a market analysis. The market analysis shall demonstrate that the amount of land proposed is needed and can realistically be supported by area residents and consumers. For these purposes, such analysis should contain the following determinations:
[1]
Determination of the expected trade area of the proposed commercial facilities.
[2]
Determination of the trade area population, present and prospective.
[3]
Determination of the expected effective buying power in such trade area.
[4]
Determination of net potential customer buying power for stores in the proposed PUD and, on such basis, the recommended store types and floor area.
(c)
Offices shall be permitted in residential PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay Districts only when used specifically for the marketing of such development or as allowable professional home offices per § 595-58.
§ 595-38 General design standards for planned unit developments.
A.
General considerations.
(1)
Adequacy of design. Design standards and requirements outlined in this section shall be utilized by the Village in determining the adequacy of all plans for proposed planned unit developments.
(2)
Consideration of Comprehensive Plan. Consideration shall be given to applicable provisions of the Village Comprehensive Plan, Official Map and other adopted plans as they pertain to future school sites, recreation sites, water supply, sewage treatment systems, highway and street alignments, environmental integrity, and other public facilities where appropriate.
(3)
Consideration of existing adjacent development. The development of the proposed PUD shall take into consideration relevant features of adjacent existing development.
(4)
Unsafe or hazardous conditions. Land with unsafe or hazardous conditions, such as open quarries, unconsolidated fill, floodplains or steep slopes, shall not be developed unless the PUD provides for adequate safeguards which are approved by the Village Board.
B.
Location of structures. Specific lot size, building location, height, size, floor area, and other such requirements shall be based upon determination by the Village Board, following advisory recommendations from the Plan Commission, as to their appropriateness to the proposed uses and structures as they relate to the total environmental concept of the planned development, consistent with the criteria set forth in this article, and, as near as practicable, consistent with standards established in applicable existing basic zoning districts and regulations, and with those generally accepted basic standards necessary to ensure the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare of that area of the community.
C.
Minimum area requirements. Areas designated as planned unit developments shall contain a minimum development area as follows:
Principal Uses | Minimum Area of PUD (acres) |
|---|---|
Residential PUD | 2 |
Commercial PUD | 5 |
Industrial PUD | 5 |
Mixed compatible use | 5 |
D.
Allowable residential densities.
(1)
General lot area, density, width and setback/yard requirements.
(a)
In a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District, area and width requirements of the basic use district may be modified; however, in no case shall the average density in a residential district exceed the number of dwelling units by more than 5% that would have been permitted if the planned unit development regulations had not been utilized.
(b)
Setbacks required by the underlying base use district may be modified in PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay Districts; however, no setback shall be less than 25 feet from any street right-of-way.
(c)
No principal structures in planned unit developments shall be located closer than 30 feet to another structure.
(d)
Structures in residential PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay Districts shall have a rear yard of not less than 25 feet.
(2)
Minimum lot area requirements. Provided that the overall number of dwelling units per acre (density) is not increased by more than 5% beyond the number of dwelling units that would have been permitted if the PUD District had not been utilized, and provided that adequate open space is maintained, the planned unit development may include lot areas per dwelling unit smaller than those normally required in the underlying zoning district. However, no lot shall be less than the minimum lot areas indicated below:
Use | Minimum Lot Area per Dwelling Unit (square feet) |
|---|---|
Single-family | 6,000 |
Two-family | 4,000 |
Multiple-family (1 story) | 3,000 |
Multiple-family (2 stories) | 3,000 |
Multiple-family (3 stories) | 2,000 |
(3)
Residential permitted density standards; common open space requirements. In the case of residential uses, the allowable density shall be based on the following considerations:
(a)
That there will result an appropriate relationship between the number of dwelling units and the facilities required and available to service them, such as sewer, water, schools, streets, and other appropriate municipal services.
(b)
That there will be an appropriate division of common open space to compensate for clustering or other concentration of dwelling units, consistent with the goal of creating a desirable living environment. Except as provided below, no plan for a planned unit development shall be approved unless such plan provides for permanent open space equivalent to 20% of the total area in single-family residential planned unit developments and 5% in commercial/industrial planned unit developments. Such open space may be in any of the following forms, provided they contribute realistically and specifically to the enhancement of the environmental character of the development for benefit of the residents thereof and the general community:
[1]
Natural areas such a woods, unique meadows, marshes, lakes, wetlands, streams and ponds, providing either an environmental amenity or serving a useful ecological purpose.
[2]
Agricultural areas, including prime crop land, pasture, orchards, and tree nurseries, contributing to the preservation of the agricultural land resource or significantly contributing to the environmental character of the area.
[3]
Recreational areas, such as parks, parkways, greenbelts, play fields, and golf courses.
(c)
That there will result an appropriate relationship between the character of existing developments or likely to result from the zoning of property thereto.
E.
Building height and area requirements.
(1)
Buildings in a planned unit development shall not exceed the height permitted in the basic use district.
(2)
Buildings in a planned unit development shall have a minimum area that is equal to or greater than that required in the basic use district.
F.
Single parcel, lot or tract. At the time of filing, the land proposed for a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall be considered as one tract, lot or parcel, and the legal description must define said PUD as a single parcel, lot or tract.
§ 595-39 Site design standards for planned unit developments.
A.
Natural features. Physical layout and form of all structures shall be designed with regard to the topography and natural features of the site.
B.
Visual aspects. The overall design shall provide for the appearance of external unity throughout the planned unit development project. Variations of building elevations and materials used therein shall be encouraged insofar as they reinforce rather than hamper the design harmony. Housing and other facilities near the periphery of the planned unit development shall be designed so as to be harmonious with neighboring areas.
C.
Landscaping.
(1)
Topographic features preservation. Where natural or existing topographic features contribute to the beauty and utility of a development, consideration shall be given to this preservation. Modification of topography features should only occur where it contributes to a good appearance.
(2)
Plant types. Plant material shall be selected for interest in its structure, texture, and color and for its ultimate growth. Further, it is recommended that native materials be employed for their ability to tolerate prevailing weather and natural conditions.
(3)
Plant guards. In locations where plant materials will be susceptible to injury by pedestrians and/or motor vehicles, appropriate curbs, tree guards, or other protective devices shall be employed.
D.
Street design standards. All streets within a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District dedicated to the public shall be so indicated on the general development plan, or as modified under this subsection. Standards of design and construction of roadways within the PUD may be modified as is deemed appropriate by the Village Board; however, in considering such modifications, the Village Board shall consider the impact on traffic/pedestrian safety, snowplowing, and law enforcement/firefighting/emergency medical services response. Right-of-way widths and street pavement widths may be reduced where it is found that the general development plan provides for the separation of motorized traffic from bicycle/pedestrian circulation patterns. The use of private roadways and streets is discouraged.
E.
Accommodation of pedestrian traffic.
(1)
Sidewalks and walkways. Sidewalks and/or other walkways and bicycle paths shall be provided where necessary for the safety and convenience of pedestrian and cyclist traffic within project boundaries. Special attention shall be given to connections accommodating pedestrian movement between the dwelling units, common open space, recreation facilities, schools, commercial establishments, and parking facilities.
(2)
Design considerations. Walkway widths and surface treatment of all walkways shall be designed with regard to their function and the anticipated manner of usage. The natural features of the area traversed in the walkway system and suitable lighting in scale with the project shall also be considered. Pedestrian ramps shall be utilized as required by law and as necessary either to resolve conflicts with vehicular traffic or facilitate the movement of senior citizens and/or children.
F.
Parking and loading.
(1)
Required number of parking spaces. Accessible off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required and specified in Article VII of this chapter.
(2)
Landscaping of parking areas. Parking areas shall be planned to provide a desirable transition from the streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping, pedestrian movement, and parking areas. In keeping with this purpose, the following design standards shall be followed for projects in a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District; in the event of conflict between these standards and those prescribed in Article VII, the following standards shall be applicable:
(a)
Parking areas shall be arranged so as to prevent or limit through traffic to other parking areas.
(b)
Parking areas shall be screened from residential structures and streets with hedges, dense plantings, earth berms, changes in grade and/or walls, or a combination thereof, except where parking areas are designed as an integral part of the street.
(c)
No more than 15 parking spaces shall be permitted in a continuous row without being interrupted by landscaping unless otherwise approved by the Plan Commission.
(d)
All off-street loading and unloading areas shall be paved and, according to the standards in § 595-71, the design thereof approved by the Plan Commission.

There shall be no limit upon the number of time extensions which may be requested.
(3)
Failure to meet phasing schedule. Upon failure of the developer to satisfactorily meet any phase or segment of the completion or phasing schedule, as determined by the Zoning Administrator or Building Inspector, within 30 days of the expiration date thereof or within 30 days of denial by the Village Board for extension thereof, all permits and approvals shall be void or suspended on other segments of the detailed implementation plan until such time as the developer is able to be in conformance with the completion schedule phasing.
J.
Rescinding an approval. Failure to comply with the conditions, commitments, guarantees, or the conditions established in the approval of such planned unit development project shall be cause for rescinding the approval of the same. Upon notice given by the Zoning Administrator or Building Inspector, the developer shall then be required to appear before the Village Board at a public meeting to explain any such failure to comply. The Village Board at such hearing shall determine whether or not the developer shall have failed to comply and, if there has been such a failure, may either:
(1)
Rescind its approval. The Village Board may rescind its earlier approval, whereupon such recision and the cessation of all rights and privileges of the developer and owner, including the right to complete construction or to construct any building or other structure or improvements, shall become effective on the 31st day following mailing, by certified mail, to the developer at his/her last known address of a written notice of such recision; or
(2)
Extend the time for compliance. The Village Board, in the alternative to recision, may adjourn such hearing for a period not to exceed 60 days to enable the developer to comply; whereupon, if the developer is then in substantial compliance and has then established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Village Board that there will be compliance in the future, the rights and privileges of the developer and owner shall continue for such period of time that there shall be such compliance. If the developer is not then in substantial compliance or does not establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Village Board that there will be compliance in the future, the Village Board will proceed in accordance with Subsection (J)(1) above for recision.
K.
Revocation; abandonment of plan; reversion to basic zoning regulations and uses.
(1)
Revocation upon failure to submit detailed implementation plan. In the event that the developer shall fail to submit a detailed implementation plan as required herein, the general development plan shall also be deemed revoked.
(2)
Developer abandonment of project. In the event that the developer shall elect to abandon the general development plan, after the same is approved and the area zoned to PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District, the developer shall immediately notify the Village Board, in writing, and, upon receipt of such notice of abandonment, the general development plan shall be deemed revoked.
(3)
Reclassification to basic underlying zoning district. When recisions occur pursuant to the above, the area involved shall automatically revert to its underlying zoning and its applicable zoning regulations and uses.

§ 595-44 Criteria for approval of planned unit developments.
A.
General requirements. The approval of a project encompassed in a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall be within the discretion of the Village Board. The Village Board, at its discretion, may determine that consideration of a project as a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District is not appropriate, and that conventional consideration and review under the standard requirements of this Zoning Code is appropriate and in the best interests of the Village and its citizens. The Plan Commission, in making a recommendation, and the Village Board, in making a determination approving a petition for a PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District, shall base determinations on compliance with the following criteria:
(1)
Compliance with intent of Zoning Code. That the proposed development is consistent with the specific requirements of this article governing planned unit developments and with the spirit and intent of this Zoning Code.
(2)
Professionally prepared plans. That the proposed development plan has been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance and produces significant benefits in terms of improved environmental design sufficient to justify the application of the planned unit development concept instead of conventional zoning regulations.
(3)
Consideration of physical nature of the site. That the site development plan reflects sensitive consideration of the physical nature of the site with particular concern for conservation of natural features, preservation of open space, and careful shaping of terrain to ensure proper drainage and preservation of natural features wherever appropriate.
(4)
Compatibility with other developments. That the general character and density of use of the planned unit development produces an attractive environment appropriate to the uses proposed and which is compatible with existing developments in the surrounding area and with general community development plans and policies.
(5)
Municipal services. That the development can be provided with appropriate municipal services.
(6)
Functional design. That the proposed design standards provide adequately for practical operation and maintenance based on actual functional need in terms of circulation, parking, emergency services, delivery services, snow plowing, and garbage and refuse collection.
(7)
Provisions for common open space. That adequate provision has been made to ensure proper maintenance and preservation of common open space which has been provided within the development for the recreational and aesthetic enhancement of the development or to preserve or protect natural environmental or ecological resources. Such provisions may be made by dedication to the public or by retention in private ownership with appropriate covenants. Private ownership may be in common or individual ownership subject to the following:
(a)
The common open space shall be protected against future development by conveying to the Village and to each property owner within the planned unit development intended to be benefitted, as part of the conditions for development plan approval, a perpetual open space easement or common open space covenant running with the land and over such areas restricting them against future building development or use, except as is consistent with the use as designated on the approved plan for recreational or aesthetic purposes, or for the preservation of conservancy, natural environmental or ecologic resources.
(b)
The care and maintenance of such common open space shall be ensured by adequate covenants and deed restrictions, approved by the Village Attorney, running to the Village as well as to each property, assuring such maintenance. Where such maintenance is not carried out to the satisfaction of the Village, the Village shall be empowered and authorized to treat such area as a special service district and to provide the necessary maintenance service and to levy the cost thereof as a special charge on all properties within such service area.
(c)
In the case of roadways and other rights-of-way which are not dedicated to the public as part of the conditions for project approval, there shall be granted to the Village such easements over the same as may be necessary to enable the Village to provide suitable and adequate fire protection, sanitary and storm sewer, water, and other required municipal services to the project area.
(d)
Ownership and tax responsibility of private open space areas and rights-of-way shall be established in a manner acceptable to the Village and made part of the condition of the plan.
(e)
Areas established for public use shall be dedicated to the Village on preliminary and final subdivision plats consistent with the approved development plan.
(8)
Other factors. Any other factors which in the discretion of the Village Board are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the area or the community.
B.
Proposed construction schedule. The Plan Commission and Village Board, in making their respective recommendation and determination, shall consider the reasonableness of the proposed construction schedule and any staging plan for the physical development of the proposed PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District, commencement of the physical development within one year of approval being deemed reasonable. The petitioners for the proposed PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall indicate when they intend to commence development and that the development will be carried out according to the written construction schedule as outlined in § 595-43C(2)(p) and (q). The construction schedule shall be a binding legal agreement between the developer and the Village, requiring signatures of the authorized agent of the planned unit development project and of the Village. Failure of the developer to commence the physical development of the planned unit development within the specified time period, or failure of the developer to complete the development as agreed under the construction schedule, empowers the Village to take the necessary actions specified in § 595-43J and K.
