Planned developments are intended to encourage the most imaginative and best possible design of building forms and site planning for tracts of land where unitary plans would best adapt to topographic and other natural features of such sites. Under this procedure, well-planned residential, industrial, commercial and other types of land use, individually or in combination, may be developed with complete design flexibility. Planned developments must be environmentally compatible. They should have a more beneficial effect upon the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the village, and particularly in the immediate surroundings, than would developments built in conformity with standard district regulations. Sites of planned developments shall be of sufficient size to accommodate self-contained developments and to create their own character. Planned developments are of such substantially different character from other special uses that the following additional standards are established to guard against their use solely as a means of intensifying the use of land.

(1983 Code, § 9-13-10-1) (Ord. 09-07, passed 9-8-2009)

   Approved planned developments shall be delineated and designated by number on the Zoning District Map. A file, available for inspection by the public, shall be maintained by the Zoning Administrator for each planned development so designated. The file shall contain a record of the approved development plan and all exceptions authorized therein.

(1983 Code, § 9-13-10-2) (Ord. 09-07, passed 9-8-2009)

   (F)   The petition shall be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the report of such shall be submitted to the Village Board. The report of the findings and recommendations shall be accompanied by such plans, exhibits and agreements as shall have been presented by the petitioner, each identified for reference by letter or number, together with any suggested changes therein.
