Provisions for Planned Development Districts
are included herein to permit the establishment of areas in which
diverse uses may be brought together in a unified plan of development.
In Planned Development Districts, land and buildings may be used for
any lawful purposes, as determined by the Village Board, subject to
the following limitations and procedures.
Planned Development Districts shall comprise
not less than five acres.
A.
Application for establishment of a Planned Development
District shall be made to the Village Board. The Village Board shall
refer the application to the Planning Board for consideration.
B.
The Planning Board may require the applicant to furnish
such preliminary plans, drawings and specifications as may be required
for an understanding of the proposed development. In reaching its
decision on the proposed development, the Planning Board shall consider,
among other things, the need for the proposed use in the proposed
location, the existing character of the neighborhood in which the
use would be located and the safeguards provided to minimize possible
detrimental effects of the proposed use on adjacent property.
C.
The Planning Board shall approve, approve with modifications
or disapprove such application and shall report its decision to the
Village Board.
D.
The Village Board shall hold a public hearing on the
proposal, with public notice, as provided by law in the case of an
amendment to the Zoning Chapter.
E.
The Village Board may then amend the Zoning Chapter
so as to define the boundaries of the Planned Development District,
but such action shall have the effect only of granting permission
for development of the specific proposal, in accordance with the Zoning
Chapter within the area so designated, with the specifications, plans
and elevations submitted.
