West Dundee City Zoning Code

The SD special development district is designed to promote high quality development of large sites, which due to close access to the regional transportation network, can support uses having regional significance. Because of the nature and size of such sites, full development potential can only be achieved by accommodating a mix of uses on the site. Thus, this district is intended to provide for mixed use flexibility while maintaining appropriate design standards for the individual uses allowed in the district. The SD special development district is also intended to establish design standards and development controls that are appropriate for regionally significant development sites. (Ord. 93-09, 7-12-1993)

This designation of a use area shall be part of an application for subdivision approval as contained in the village's subdivision regulations.

   B.   Application Of Subdivision Regulations: The layout of streets, public improvements and other aspects of land subdivision shall be subject to the full application of the village's subdivision regulations. Conformance to design standards shall be based on the use area regulations contained in the SD district regulations.

   C.   Minimum Size Of Use Area Development Parcels: The size of use areas must conform to the minimum development parcel size requirements contained within the use area regulations for each use area.

   D.   Use Area Boundaries: Use areas conforming to applicable minimum development parcel size requirements shall be defined by the following boundaries:
