planning and architectural concepts and techniques may be utilized
by the developer without departing from the spirit and intent of this
chapter.

Provide for the use of those relatively extensive
land areas within the community considered appropriate for the type
of development possible in a Planned Development District but for
which no development has been proposed.
(3)
Ensure that the regulations of this section are so
interpreted and applied that the benefits of this chapter to the residents
or occupants of the Planned Development District and the residents
or occupants of adjacent properties will be protected.
B.
Procedures. Planned Development Districts may be established
in accordance with the procedures specified below:
(1)
Application for designation of a P-R, P-MH, P-C or
P-M Planned Development District shall be made to the Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees shall refer the application to the Zoning Board
of Appeals within 10 days of receipt. The applicant shall furnish
basic data pertaining to the boundaries of the proposed development,
the existing zoning, topography, drainage, soil conditions and such
preliminary plans as may be required for an understanding of the type,
uses and design of the proposed development.
(2)
The Zoning Board of Appeals and the Board's professional
planning consultant, if any, shall review such application. The Board
may require such changes in the preliminary plans as are found to
be necessary to meet the requirements of this section, to protect
the established permitted uses in the vicinity and to promote the
orderly growth and sound development of the community. In evaluating
the proposal and in reaching its decision regarding the preliminary
plans, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall consider and make findings
regarding the following:
(a)
The existing character of the neighborhood.
(b)
The location of principal and accessory buildings
on the site in relation to one another and to other structures and
uses in the vicinity.
(c)
The pedestrian circulation and open space in
relation to structures.
(d)
The traffic circulation features within the
site and the amount of, location of and access to automobile parking
areas and loading areas.
(e)
The height and bulk of buildings.
(f)
The proposed location, type and size of signs,
driveways and landscape features.
(g)
The safeguards provided to minimize possible
detrimental effects of the proposed use on adjacent properties and
the neighborhood in general.
(h)
Storm drainage, sanitary and solid waste disposal
and other utilities on and adjacent to the site.
(3)
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall report its findings
and render its decision to the Board of Trustees within 45 days. It
may approve, disapprove or give conditional approval subject to modifications
regarding the proposed development.
(4)
The Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing
after public notice as required for any amendment to this chapter
and shall consider the report and recommendations of the Zoning Board
of Appeals and all other comments, reviews and statements pertaining
thereto. It may amend the Zoning Map to establish and define the type
and boundaries of the planned district and in so doing may state specific
conditions, in addition to those provided by this chapter, further
restricting the nature or design of the development. In the event
that the Zoning Board of Appeals disapproves the proposal or rendered
conditional approval subject to modifications with which the developer
is not willing to comply, the Board of Trustees may amend the Zoning
Map in accordance with the application only upon an affirmative vote
of at least 3/4 of the members of the Board of Trustees.
(5)
Amendment of the Zoning Map shall not constitute authorization
to develop in the district. Such authorization, after a planned development
district has been established, shall require that the applicant submit
to the Zoning Board of Appeals such further plans and specifications,
supporting documents and data as shall be required by the Board and
shall specify on the plans and in writing the building types and layout,
setbacks, off-street parking and loading, ingress and egress, signs,
existing and proposed amenities, screening, planting and ornamental
features and the plan or arrangements for development the area of
in stages or in its entirety.
(6)
All conditions imposed by the Board of Trustees in
its amendment and all subsequent conditions imposed by the Zoning
Board of Appeals in its review of the final plans, including any the
performance of which may be conditions precedent to the issuance of
any permit, shall run with the land and shall not lapse or be waived
as a result of any change in tenancy or ownership of any or all of
the designated district. No building permit shall be issued until
the Zoning Board of Appeals has rendered final approval and has authorized
issuance of a permit by resolution.
(7)
If construction of the development in accordance with
the approved plans and specifications has not begun within one year
after the date of issuance of the building permit, all permits shall
become null and void, the approval shall be deemed revoked and vacated
and the Board of Trustees shall have the authority to again amend
the map to restore the zoning designation for the district to that
which it had been prior to the application or to any other district.
C.
Standards for development.
(1)
Permitted uses in P-R, P-MH, P-C and P-M Planned Development
Districts and area and yard dimensions shall be as approved by the
Zoning Board of Appeals using the requirements of Schedule A as guidelines.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Schedule A is included as an attachment to this chapter.
(2)
Building height shall be limited to 40 feet for commercial
or industrial uses.
(3)
Locations for ingress and egress, off-street parking
and off-street loading in P-C and P-M Districts shall be so arranged
as not to connect directly with local residential streets and shall
not cause excessive conflict with pedestrian or motor traffic.
D.
P-D Planned Development District (general). The Planned
Development District created by this chapter is intended to identify
certain distinctive areas of the community which are relatively extensive
and in which existing uses may be marginal and subject, therefore,
to discontinuance. Such areas are expressly regarded as primarily
suited for uses other than those presently occupying all or part of
these districts but wherein it is not possible to select specific
development objectives until other conditions are satisfied. Therefore,
in a P-D Planned Development District, only existing uses and uses
accessory to existing uses are permitted. No additional development
or other use may be permitted except as may be allowable after procedures
for rezoning of the area to a specific Planned Development District
as described by this chapter are fully accomplished and the Zoning
Map has been duly amended to designate such area as P-R Planned Residential,
P-MH Planned Mobile Home Park, P-C Planned Commercial, or P-M Planned
Manufacturing, after preliminary evaluation and review procedures,
as provided.
(1)
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall approve, approve
with modification or disapprove an application for designation of
a Planned Development District amendment of the Zoning Map of the
Village or for a building project within an established Planned Development
District and shall report its findings to the Board of Trustees within
45 days following the date of referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals
by the Board of Trustees. Zoning Board of Appeals approval of the
preliminary plans shall not constitute or imply a permit for said
project.
(2)
The Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing
on any proposal to create or change a Planned Development District,
with public notice, as provided by law as in the case of any amendment
to this chapter. The Board of Trustees may amend the chapter to establish
and define the type and boundaries of the planned district after a
public hearing.
(3)
A building project within a planned district shall
conform substantially to the preliminary construction plans approved
by the Zoning Board of Appeals. A building permit may be issued only
after construction plans and specifications have been filed and approved
by resolution of the Board of Trustees. In the event that the Zoning
Board of Appeals disapproves a building permit within a Planned Development
District or approves with modifications which the applicant is unwilling
to make, an affirmative vote of not less than 3/4 of the members of
the Board of Trustees shall be required to approve said building project.
(4)
If construction work on the proposed building project
is not begun within time limits specified by the building permit or
if such work is not completed within the period of time specified
by such permit, approval of the project application shall become null
and void and all rights therein shall cease, unless the Board of Trustees
for good cause authorizes an extension.
(5)
All conditions imposed by the Board of Trustees, including
those the performance of which are conditions precedent to the issuance
of any permit necessary for the development of any part of the entire
site, shall run with the land and shall not lapse or be waived as
a result of any subsequent change in the tenancy or ownership of any
or all of said area. Such conditions shall be stated in any certificate
or occupancy issued for any use or structure in such development.
