This is a voluntary and alternate special zoning procedure in the "R-1" and "R-2" residential districts in order to permit flexibility in building types, encourage economic and energy-efficient subdivision design, and encourage the provision of supporting community facilities in the development of diverse, sound, urban developments under conditions of the approved site and development plans. Projects must be in compliance with Ordinance No. 93.07, Subdivision Ordinance.
(b)
Definitions. In addition to the definitions contained in section 32-7, the following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Common open space means a parcel of land at ground level in a planned residential district, designed and intended for the use of all residents thereof. Common open space unoccupied by principal or accessory buildings, however, may contain complimentary recreational structures and improvements designed and intended for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents of the planned development.
Landowner means the legal or beneficial owner of all of the land proposed to be included in a planned development. The holder of an option or contract to purchase, a lessee having a remaining term of not less than 40 years, or other person having an enforceable proprietary interest in such land, shall be deemed to be a landowner for the purpose of this section.
Plan means the proposal for development for a planned unit development, including a plat or subdivision, all covenants, grants of the easement and other conditions relating to the use, location and bulk of buildings, the density of development, usable open space and public facilities. The plan shall include such information as required by this section and applicable sections of the subdivision ordinance of the Village.
Planned residential development means an area of land controlled by a landowner, which is, has been or is proposed to be developed as a single entity for a number of dwelling units, the plan for which need not conform in lot size, bulk or type of dwelling, number of structure per lot, height or yard regulations established for the affected district by any other sections of this article.
(c)
Permitted uses.

Accessory uses. Any use clearly supplementary to the principal use of the parcel or lot.
(f)
Standards. A planned residential development project shall be consistent with the following standards:
(1)
Minimum project area. The minimum project area permitted in a planned residential development shall contain a gross area of not less than five acres. This requirement may be waived or reduced by the Planning and Zoning Commission or by the Zoning Board of Appeals on an appeal to that Board, when it is found that conformance to the provisions contained elsewhere in this chapter relating to lot size, bulk, dwelling type, or number of structures would result in gross waste or inefficient use of a substantial portion of land area contained in a particular parcel or would result in other results deemed incompatible with the purposes of this article.
(2)
Ground coverage. The percentage of the ground area of a planned residential development to be occupied by buildings and structures not included in common open space shall be the same as allowed in the existing zone.
(3)
Dwelling unit density. The number of dwelling units which may be constructed within a planned residential development will be determined by dividing the project area by the required lot area per dwelling unit which is required in the district in which the planned development is located. In cases where the land to which the plan pertains is divided into two or more adjoining residential districts of differing restrictions, the maximum number of dwelling units which may be concentrated on the adjoining space of such land shall not exceed the aggregate number of dwelling units permitted on the whole of such land.
(4)
Building height, spacing, and length. Height limitations for buildings shall be 45 feet. The spacing between detached, semi-detached, attached, or multi-storied structures shall be at least 15 feet. There shall be no continuous structure of townhouses, attached dwellings, or apartments exceeding 200 feet in length in planned residential development projects.
(5)
Perimeter setbacks. Off-street parking and loading areas shall be located a minimum of 25 feet from the perimeter boundary of any planned residential development project. Buildings shall be located 25 feet from the perimeter boundary of a planned residential development. When the planned development abuts a residentially zoned or developed area, perimeter setback areas shall be landscaped so as to provide a buffer between the planned development and surrounding residential areas.
(6)
Common open space. Provision of all common open space and the construction of public facilities which are shown on the site plan shall proceed at an equivalent or greater rate than the construction of structures. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board may establish such conditions as are necessary to ensure the preservation of such lands for their intended purpose as demonstrated on the site plan. The developer shall give legally enforceable assurances satisfactory to the Village that common open spaces shall be properly maintained during the life of the planned residential development.
(7)
Deed covenants. The planned residential development project shall contain such covenants, easements, and other provisions relating to the bulk, location, and density of such residential units, nonresidential units, and public facilities as are necessary for the welfare of the planned development project and are not inconsistent with the best interests of the Village. Such legal instruments shall be approved by the Village.
(8)
Landscaping and utility lines. All required open space, parking lot islands and all land area not otherwise developed shall be landscaped in a manner that enhances the appearance of the planned residential development project.

Projects must be in compliance with Ordinance No. 93.07, Subdivision Ordinance.
(b)
Definitions. In addition to the definitions contained in section 32-7, the following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Common open space means a parcel of land at ground level in a planned residential district, designed and intended for the use of all residents thereof. Common open space unoccupied by principal or accessory buildings, however, may contain complimentary recreational structures and improvements designed and intended for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents of the planned development.
Landowner means the legal or beneficial owner of all of the land proposed to be included in a planned development. The holder of an option or contract to purchase, a lessee having a remaining term of not less than 40 years, or other person having an enforceable proprietary interest in such land, shall be deemed to be a landowner for the purpose of this section.
Plan means the proposal for development for a planned unit development, including a plat or subdivision, all covenants, grants of the easement and other conditions relating to the use, location and bulk of buildings, the density of development, usable open space and public facilities. The plan shall include such information as required by this section and applicable sections of the subdivision ordinance of the Village.
Planned residential development means an area of land controlled by a landowner, which is, has been or is proposed to be developed as a single entity for a number of dwelling units, the plan for which need not conform in lot size, bulk or type of dwelling, number of structure per lot, height or yard regulations established for the affected district by any other sections of this article.

Minimum project area. The minimum project area permitted in a planned residential development shall contain a gross area of not less than five acres. This requirement may be waived or reduced by the Planning and Zoning Commission or by the Zoning Board of Appeals on an appeal to that Board, when it is found that conformance to the provisions contained elsewhere in this chapter relating to lot size, bulk, dwelling type, or number of structures would result in gross waste or inefficient use of a substantial portion of land area contained in a particular parcel or would result in other results deemed incompatible with the purposes of this article.
(2)
Ground coverage. The percentage of the ground area of a planned residential development to be occupied by buildings and structures not included in common open space shall be the same as allowed in the existing zone.
(3)
Dwelling unit density. The number of dwelling units which may be constructed within a planned residential development will be determined by dividing the project area by the required lot area per dwelling unit which is required in the district in which the planned development is located. In cases where the land to which the plan pertains is divided into two or more adjoining residential districts of differing restrictions, the maximum number of dwelling units which may be concentrated on the adjoining space of such land shall not exceed the aggregate number of dwelling units permitted on the whole of such land.
(4)
Building height, spacing, and length. Height limitations for buildings shall be 45 feet. The spacing between detached, semi-detached, attached, or multi-storied structures shall be at least 15 feet.

(6)
Common open space. Provision of all common open space and the construction of public facilities which are shown on the site plan shall proceed at an equivalent or greater rate than the construction of structures. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board may establish such conditions as are necessary to ensure the preservation of such lands for their intended purpose as demonstrated on the site plan. The developer shall give legally enforceable assurances satisfactory to the Village that common open spaces shall be properly maintained during the life of the planned residential development.
(7)
Deed covenants. The planned residential development project shall contain such covenants, easements, and other provisions relating to the bulk, location, and density of such residential units, nonresidential units, and public facilities as are necessary for the welfare of the planned development project and are not inconsistent with the best interests of the Village. Such legal instruments shall be approved by the Village.
