Planned unit developments may be permitted in any zoning district as a form of special use, subject to the provisions of this Chapter and subject to the objectives and conditions set forth in Section 5-1-6 of this Zoning Title (definition of "planned development"). (1983 Code)

A planned unit development may include a mixture of the land uses permitted in the applicable zoning district and may include variations from such uses if compatible with the permitted uses of the district. (1983 Code)

The Board of Trustees shall not grant a planned unit development unless the Board shall find:

   A.   That the planned unit development is in harmony with the general intent of this Zoning Title.

   B.   That the planned unit development will be on a tract of land under common ownership or unified control.

   C.   That the uses permitted in the planned unit development shall be compatible to each other and not detrimental to the use and enjoyment of nearby properties. The requirements of this subsection C shall be deemed met if the permitted uses are so designed, located and proposed to be operated so that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected and such uses will not cause appreciable injury or damage to other property.

   D.   That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the planned unit development will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties.

   E.   That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities have been or will be provided.

   F.   That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. (1983 Code)

A planned unit development need not conform to the strict requirements of the Zoning Title including, but not limited to, bulk regulations, setbacks, lot size and coverage requirements and yard requirements, provided that the standards set forth for planned unit developments are met. (1983 Code)

A planned unit development may contain private streets at the discretion of the Village Board. Such streets, as well as retention areas and other improvements, may be included in the gross area available in computing the allowable dwelling units on the particular tract of land. (1983 Code)

A planned unit development shall be processed as follows:

   A.   Application: Any person owning or having an interest in a tract of land may file an application for a planned unit development on that land. (1983 Code)

   B.   Site Plan: Such application shall be filed with the Zoning Enforcement Officer and shall be accompanied by a preliminary site plan and/or written statement describing the general concept of the proposed planned unit development.

Not later than at the public hearing provided for herein, the applicant shall present a more detailed site plan showing: (Ord. 92-468, 12-8-1992)

      1.   The size and location of buildings proposed for the development.

      2.   Means of ingress and egress to and from the site.

      3.   The number and location of parking spaces on the site.

      4.   The size and location of streets, sidewalks and utility lines to be located within the planned unit development.

      5.   The size and location of all permanent open space proposed for the site.

      6.   Such other information as the Plan Commission may require.

   C.   Hearing On Application: Upon receipt of the application, the Plan Commission shall hold a public hearing after notice is given in the manner required for applications to rezone property. Such hearing may be adjourned or continued from time to time by the Plan Commission.

   D.   Authorization: Within thirty (30) days after concluding said hearing, the Plan Commission shall report to the President and Board of Trustees its findings and recommendations, including additional conditions it may deem necessary for the protection of the public interest. The Board of Trustees may grant or deny the application. If granted, the planned unit development shall become effective only upon adoption of an ordinance duly passed by the President and Board of Trustees. (1983 Code)

Construction and development shall take place only in substantial conformity with the planned unit development approved by ordinance. (1983 Code)

All "subdivisions" of property, as that term is defined in Section 6-2-4 of this Code, which exceed eighty thousand (80,000) square feet in area shall require approval in the form of a special use permit for planned development. (Ord. 96-564, 4-9-1996)

In any case where a special use has been established within one year after the date of granting thereof, then, without further action by the Plan Commission or the corporate authorities, the special use or authorization thereof shall be null and void and if in connection with such planned development, the property was rezoned from one zoning district to a different zoning district, then the zoning classification shall automatically revert to that existing prior to the grant of a special use. For the purpose of this Zoning Title a special use is established if a building permit for the project or part thereof is secured within one year from the effective date hereof, granting the special use; provided, however, that if construction on a special use is discontinued for a period of one year or more, or if progress on any stage of a planned development falls behind the schedule for construction (if any is approved as part of the Village ordinance approving the special use) by more than one year, then the uncompleted portions of the planned development will be subject to review by the corporate authorities, who will have the authority to revoke the special use permit for the uncompleted portions.
