Planned developments are of such substantially different character from other special uses that specific and additional exceptions are hereby set out to govern the recommendations of the Plan Commission and the action of the Village Board in the approval thereof. (1977 Code § ZR-7-1)

In the case of every planned development, the Plan Commission shall find that such development is for the purpose of promoting an orderly transition from one district to another or promoting an integrated site plan no less beneficial to the residents of such development, neighboring properties and the entire area than would be obtained if said tract of land were subdivided under the restrictions of only one zoning district. (1977 Code § ZR-7-2)

The rules of procedure, regulations and standards established in this chapter may be substituted for the district regulations set forth elsewhere in this title, but only in those cases where a planned development option is approved. (1977 Code § ZR-7-2)

Planned developments shall be permissible only in R-1, R-2, regular golf course and premier golf course districts. (1977 Code § ZR-7-2)

   A.   The minimum gross site area for a planned development shall be as follows:

      1.   In the R-1 and R-2 districts, twenty (20) acres;

      2.   In the regular golf course district, three hundred (300) acres; and

      3.   In the premier golf course district, five hundred (500) acres.

   B.   The total number of dwelling units shall not exceed twice the number which would be permitted in an R-1 district and one and one-half (11/2) the number which would be permitted in an R-2 district if the tract were developed conventionally under the regulations applicable within the district in which the planned development is located. Where the entire tract lies within a single district, such total number of dwelling units shall be calculated by dividing the area of the tract by the required minimum conventional lot size for a dwelling within such a district. If the entire tract is not within a single district, such total shall be calculated in the same manner for each portion of the tract that is in a separate district and combined to determine the number of dwelling units in the entire planned development.

   C.   In the regular golf course district and premier golf course district, the density, minimum lot size and land uses permitted shall be as provided in the regulations for such districts.

   D.   The land area of any lot in the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts shall be not less than forty thousand (40,000) square feet suitable for building purposes. No portion of any lot which consists of a pond, lake, bog or swamp, or any part of a pond, lake, bog or swamp shall be considered suitable for building purposes.

   E.   Setback and yards as required for the district in which each lot of record is located shall be complied with, except where such requirements are specifically waived during the approval process. (1977 Code § ZR-7-2)

In the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts, all open space lands resulting from the reduction in the lot area requirements provided for in this chapter shall be dedicated or conveyed to and accepted by an appropriate public agency. (1977 Code § ZR-7-2)
