The purpose of the planned unit development provisions is to encourage and allow more creative and imaginative design for land development than is possible under the more conventional zoning and subdivision regulations. The planned development also provides for more effective use of the land, better urban amenities, protection of open space, and likewise protecting valuations of adjoining properties. The process is intended to be an alternative to the conventional subdivision of land and lot by lot development contemplated by title 12 of the village code. (Ord. 2009-36, 4-6-2009)

The design standards and review process for planned unit developments shall be as specified in section 12-4-12 of the village code. (Ord. 2009-36, 4-6-2009)
