(A)   Definition. A Planned Unit Development is defined as an area of land developed as a "special use" and as a single entity for a number of land uses including, but not limited to; residential, commercial, institutional, research and, industrial.

   (B)   Intent and purpose. The purpose of the Planned Unit Development regulations are to encourage and promote a more creative, imaginative and an environmentally sensitive design for the development of land by allowing a greater freedom and/or flexibility than is possible under the precise and rigid requirements of conventional zoning ordinances. The Planned Unit Development is therefore accomplished through the use of objective standards which shall establish goals and criteria for judgment rather than the application of a fixed formula. To this intent it shall allow for the diversification in the land uses permitted and variations to the relationships of land uses, structures, open spaces, and heights of structures in particular developments that are understood to be conceived and implemented as a comprehensive and cohesive unified project, while still requiring substantial compliance to the master plan for community development. It is further intended to encourage more imaginative site planning; contributing to a more rational and economic relationship to public services, while permitting optimum development of the land; and, whereas it shall encourage and facilitate the conservation of open lands, natural site features such as: woods, streams, wetlands, floodplains and the like as an integral component of a balanced ecology between nature and the development, which will provide for exceptional urban amenities and higher quality developments.

   (C)   Permitted location. A Planned Unit Development shall be considered as a special use in any residential, business, office, industrial or manufacturing zoning district.

   (D)   Permitted uses. In a Planned Unit Development, the following uses may be permitted subject to the criteria as established, provided, that no use shall be permitted except in conformity with a specific and precise development plan pursuant to the procedural and regulatory provisions as hereinafter set forth:

      (1)   Residential dwelling units in detached, semi-detached, attached, multi-storied structures, or any combination thereof;

      (2)   Non-residential uses as follows:

         (a)   Religious, cultural, recreational and educational uses;

         (b)   Business uses permitted in the "B-3" Highway/Regional Shopping District;

         (c)   Manufacturing/Industrial use permitted in the "M-R" Manufacturing/Research District;

         (d)   Business Parks as permitted in the "PB" Planned Business District; and

         (e)   Utility and municipal uses.

   (E)   Special uses. The Planned Unit Development is in itself a special use, where the following uses may be allowed by a "special use permit" in accordance with the provisions of § 159.176 of this chapter, and provided the uses are located on a lot of not less than ten acres with a minimum width of 400 feet and a minimum depth of 400 feet. If a special use permit is granted and portions of the property are sold reducing the lot size to less than four acres or reducing the width or depth of the property to less than 400 feet the special use permit will be deemed to have been revoked concurrent to that action.

      (1)   Special uses as listed in any residential district;

      (2)   Special uses as listed in the B-3 Highway/Regional Shopping District; and

      (3)   Special uses as listed in the M-R Manufacturing/Research District.

   (F)   Temporary uses. Upon application to and issuance by the Zoning Administrator of a permit thereof, the following use may be operated as a temporary use: processing, screening, washing yards and plants of the quasi-temporary nature connected with the construction of roads which are normally removed when a specific purpose is completed, are permitted under this classification after a permit is obtained from the Building Inspector. This permit shall be effective for a period not to exceed six continuous months and shall not be renewed for more than one successive period at the same location.

   (G)   Accessory uses. Accessory uses may include the following:

      (1)   Accessory uses, buildings, or other structures and devices customarily incidental to and commonly associated with a permitted or special use may be permitted, provided they are operated and maintained under the same ownership and on the same parcel, do not include structures or structural features inconsistent with the permitted or special use, and as regulated by §§ 159.020 and 159.003 under "Accessory Building or Use".

      (2)   Accessory uses may include the following:

         (a)   Off-street parking facilities as regulated by §§ 159.105 through 159.111; and

         (b)   Signs, in accordance with regulations set forth in §§ 159.121 through 159.133.

   In the development of a Planned Unit Development certain standards must be adhered to when designing the "General and Final Development Plans". Those standards are as follows:

   (A)   As a basis for determining the acceptability of a Planned Unit Development proposal, specific consideration shall be given as to whether or not it is consistent with the "Definition" and the "Intent and Purpose" of this section. That it has been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance in terms of planning, architecture and engineering and that it produces significant benefits in terms of improved environmental design;

   (B)   Specific lot size, density, open space, building location, height, size, floor area, building setbacks, parking, and other such requirements shall be based upon determination as to their appropriateness to the land uses and/or structures as they relate to the total environmental concept of the Planned Unit Development, and that they are consistent with the criteria set forth in this section and with those generally accepted as standards necessary to insure the protection of the general public health, safety and welfare. Such requirements shall be made a part of the approved "Final Development Plan" and shall be, along with the plan itself, be construed and enforced as a part of this chapter; and

   (C)   Engineering and subdivision design standards relative to street type, location and width, sidewalks, street lighting, infrastructure improvements, lot arrangement and other elements of site design shall be based upon the submission of detailed engineering drawings with standards showing the effectiveness of each element as it relates to the total plan. It is necessary for the plans to be consistent and compatibility with the existing land use patterns in the areas peripheral to the development. In no case shall minimal construction standards be less than those necessary to protect the general public health, safety and welfare. To this intent the specific provisions of the "Development Regulations, Chapter 158”. Precise standards proposed for the development shall be made a part of the approved "Final Development Plan" and shall be construed to be and enforced as part of this chapter.

   (D)   The following objectives shall be obtained through the use of the Planned Unit Development policies and procedures:

      (1)   To permit a maximum choice in the types of environment available to the public by allowing a development that would not be possible under the strict application of this and other village regulations pertaining to land development;

      (2)   To promote a creative approach to the use of land and related physical facilities that results in better design and development, with the inclusion of aesthetic amenities;

      (3)   To combine and coordinate architectural styles, building forms, and building relationships with a possible mixing of different urban uses in an innovative design;

      (4)   To encourage a pattern of development to preserve natural vegetation, topographic and geological features, and environmentally appropriate features;

      (5)   To provide for the prevention and control of soil erosion, surface flooding, and the preservation of subsurface water;

      (6)   To create a method for the permanent preservation of common open space for the continued use and enjoyment of the residents of the development;

      (7)   To provide for more usable and suitably located recreation facilities, schools, and other public and private facilities;

      (8)   To promote the more efficient use of the land, resulting in more economically feasible networks of utilities, streets, and other facilities;

      (9)   To encourage a land use which promotes the public health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare;

      (10)   To create a method for the permanent preservation of architectural and historic landmarks.

   (E)   The Planned Unit Development is intended to provide for developments incorporating a single type or a variety of related uses which are planned and developed as a unit. The Planned Unit Development should provide amenities not otherwise required by law, and often establishes facilities and open space greater than the minimums required by law;

   (F)   The Planned Unit Development may consist of conventionally subdivided lots to be sold, unsubdivided single ownership lots, separate condominium ownership of structures, and/or other ownership methods that are considered appropriate for the subdivision of property. Also the development shall provide a plat of subdivision, which shall establish the location and extent of the features that will be incorporated into the Planned Unit Development.

      (2)   Commercial structures will reflect an architecturally pleasing design.

         (a)   Examples of desired architecture:

      (3)   Features incorporated into the building design will be considered as individual elements.

         (a)   Each structure must meet the minimum requirements for all Building Sections One through Five.

         (b)   Should a large user share a common wall with other structures, then that user will be subject to § 159.158(J)(6) and not § 159.158(J)(7). Large users shall be defined as a single occupant comprised of 8,000 square feet or more building space and possessing only two or less customer entrances. This space must be built for a specifically single occupant user, and have no intention of being divided into smaller tenant spaces at the time of construction. (Example: a 40,000 square foot electronics store is constructed in line with a multiple tenant structure).

         (c)   Should any structure share a wall with another structure, only the visible portion of that wall shall meet the number of required elements. Example: If two units share 200 lineal feet of wall surface and one of the users wall's extend an extra 100 lineal feet from the point in which the shared section ceases, then only that 100 lineal feet shall meet the element requirement.

         (d)   Should a facade be entirely blocked from public view by other structures or shared facades, then that facade will not have to meet the element requirement.

         (e)   Buildings that consist of more than one functional story shall contain similar design features as required per each section of the following code. However, the actual element requirements will not increase. Any additional elements will count for the section requirement. Concerning roof design, a functional second story will be considered the same as a false second story and will fulfill the roof design requirements if a detailed cornice is utilized.

      (4)   Certain elements can be counted twice. These particular features are as follows:

         (a)   Awnings, overhangs, and canopies which accentuate entry points, can also be counted for Section Two: Street Facing Facades or Section Five: Non Street Facing Facades.

         (b)   Architectural thematic lights that accentuate an entry point can also be counted for Section Two: Street Facing Facades or Section Five: Non Street Facing Facades.

         (c)   Medallions and other features that accentuate an entry point can also be counted for Section Two: Street Facing Facades or Section Five: Non Street Facing Facades.

      (5)   Definitions and examples of elements. In order to meet the criteria, any of the elements applied in Section One must be uniform in nature over the entire structure.

         (a)   Section One: Building Form and Massing.

            1.   Texture Change – A change in the surface quality, grain, or consistency of the building.

            2.   Pattern Change – A differentiation in the configuration, design, or arrangement of building materials in relationship to one another. Examples: changes in building form from straight lines to arches or changing the direction of bricks.

            3.   Color Change – A differentiation in the color of exterior materials used in construction of the actual building.

            4.   Material Change – A change in the physical material used to construct an individual building. Examples: Changes from brick to ground face block or limestone to granite.

            5.   Height Variations – Height variations include roofline or peak sections which form a new roof plane. Variations which terminate at the same height plane as other variations will not be double-counted in the point system. Functioning second stories do not count for a height variation. However, second stories may qualify for the mix-use bonus. For false second stories, see § 159.158(J)(5)(c)6. The original height will count as a one height variation, essentially all buildings will start with one change.

            6.   Canopy – A protective covering fashioned entirely over an entryway or pedestrian space, typically made of canvas. Other materials are acceptable.

            7.   Recesses and Projections – A change in the wall plane in which a section of the building moves either closer to or further from the original wall plane of a structure. The original wall plane will count as one recess and projection; essentially all buildings will start with one change.

            8.   Arcade – A series of arches supported by piers or columns.

            9.   Single Tenant Buildings - A single tenant building shall be considered as a structure that possesses only one tenant and cannot be separated into smaller units with more than one occupant by a demising wall or any other means.

         (b)   Section Two: Street Facing Facades.

            1.   Street Facing Facades - Those facades that face any public street or major thoroughfare.

            2.   Colonnades – A series of, or row of, columns, usually spanned by lintels, i.e. beams.

            3.   Pilasters - A flat, rectangular vertical member projecting from a wall of which it forms a part. It usually has a base and a capital and is often fluted.

            4.   Columns – A vertical, weight carrying architectural member, circular in cross section and consisting of a base and fluted (sometimes omitted).

            5.   Exterior Architectural Window Frames - An enhanced frame around the exterior facade of a window incorporating one or more features, such as: pilasters, columns, pediments, stones, creative brick work, or the like.

            6.   Windows — Glass features that are translucent or semi-translucent in which a person can see into and out of a structure. Sheets of glass separated by only metal frames or other materials will be counted as one window. Windows will not be counted as separate unless they are separated by at least three inches of a material such as masonry, concrete, or an architectural window frame. Functional windows:

            7.   False Windows - Windows that do not see visually into a structure, but do have some sort of visual point of interest. Examples: display windows, pictures, and the like. Opaque or non-transparent windows do not qualify as an element.

            3.   Peaked Roofs Finished and Sloped on All Four Sides - A roof that climaxes at a peak and has slopes on all four sides. Does not need to cover the whole functional roof of the structure, rather screen all roof top equipment.

            4.   Complete sloped and peaked roof that covers the entire roof surface - A roof sloping on all four sides which climaxes at a peak. This type of roof does not cover 100% of the functional roof surface.

            5.   Cornice - The projecting crowning member of a roof, which frames the roof plane and screens rooftop equipment.

            6.   False Second Story - The use of additional vertical height on a structure to create a second story in exterior appearance only. The equivalent of a second story without having any inhabitable floor area.

         (d)   Section Four: Entry- Articulation.
