A.

The Plan Commission may recommend and the Village Board may grant exceptions to the district regulations where a planned unit development is located. The planned unit development is subject to the underlying district regulations unless such exception is expressly granted in the ordinance approving the planned unit development. Exceptions from district regulations may be granted for planned unit developments with respect to height, density, bulk regulations and setbacks, number of buildings on a zoning lot, allowance for access via private roadways, off-street parking and loading, landscaping and screening and signage, if the Plan Commission and Village Board find that each and every of the following standards:

1.

Enhance the overall merit of the planned unit development;

2.

Promote the objectives of both the Village and the development;

3.

Enhance the quality of the design of the structures and the site plan;

4.

Enable the development to offer environmental, pedestrian and other unique amenities;

Will not cause such an adverse impact on neighboring properties so as to outweigh the benefits of the development;

6.

Is compatible with the land use policies of the Village's Comprehensive Plan;

7.

Provide a public benefit to the Village, as described in paragraph C., below.

B.

The planned unit development is subject to the underlying district use and general zoning regulations unless the Plan Commission recommends and the Village Board permits uses other than those allowed within the district when it is determined by the Village Board to be desirable in achieving the objectives of the planned unit development. However, there must be clear evidence that such uses are desirable and appropriate with respect to the primary purpose of the development; and are not of such a nature, or so located, as to exercise a detrimental influence on the development or the surrounding neighborhood. Any deviations from the general or specific use restrictions for the underlying district must be incorporated into the ordinance approving the planned unit development in order to be effective.

C.

To be granted such exceptions, the planned unit development applicant must demonstrate superior design and enhanced amenities. In no case shall an exception to district regulations within a planned unit development be granted unless the applicant demonstrates a substantial benefit to the Village. Design characteristics and amenities to be considered in this determination shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

1.

Landscaping, buffering or screening within or around the perimeter of the planned unit development that is in addition to the minimum required by this Ordinance.

In its establishment and authorization as a special use, in addition to the special use standards of Section 4.3 (Special Use), the following procedures, requirements, restrictions, and conditions shall be observed. Approval of a planned unit development is a four-step process, which includes a pre-application meeting, concept plan, preliminary plan, and final plan. No plans shall be recorded until a Final Plan has been approved, and no building permit shall be issued until a Final Plan has been recorded.

A.

Pre-Application Meeting. Prior to the filing of an application for a planned unit development, the applicant shall confer with members of the Village staff determined by the Community Development Director. At the pre-application meeting the applicant shall provide information as to the location of the proposed planned unit development, the proposed uses, proposed public and private improvements, a list of all exceptions to this Ordinance and other ordinances of the Village that will be requested, a summary of the proposed enhancements and benefits that exceed applicable zoning requirements and any other information necessary to clearly explain the planned unit development. The purpose of such pre-application meeting is to make advice and assistance available to the applicant before preparation of the preliminary plan so that the applicant may determine:

1.

Whether the proposed planned unit development appears in general to be in compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance and other applicable regulations.

2.

Whether any zoning exception is required in connection with the proposed planned unit development.

3.

Whether the proposed planned unit development will be in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, and the goals and policies of the Village for development. The pre-application meeting does not require formal application, fee or filing of a planned unit development.

B.

Concept Plan. Prospective applicants are encouraged and recommended to present a concept plan for planned unit developments to the Village Board prior to the filing of an application for approval of a planned unit development. The presentation of a concept plan is not binding on the applicant, but allows the applicant to obtain the input of the Village Board on a proposed plan before committing to the planned unit development process.

C.

Preliminary Plan Procedure. Applications for planned unit developments shall be filed with the Community Development Director, in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.1 (Application) and shall contain a Preliminary Plan. Upon receiving a complete application, the Community Development Director shall forward the application and preliminary plan to the Plan Commission, which shall be filed in such form and contain minimum requirements that the Plan Commission may prescribe by general rule. At the applicant's specific request, the preliminary and final plan procedure may be combined. Any applicant desiring to combine preliminary and final plan approval must make that request in writing as part of the initial planned unit development application.
