B.
Said description contains 220 acres of land, more or less.
The Orlando/Packerland Planned Development District is intended
to provide a blueprint and design guidelines for a mixed-use district
that attracts and facilitates an expanding, diverse and stable tax
base. The District is intended to be a recognizable and cohesive mixed-use
district where limited industrial and commercial businesses will be
located, with nearby residential areas available to workforces. Other
complementary activities will provide support to both the residential
and commercial feature and bring a strong economic base to the District.
Specifically, this District's purpose is to:
A.
Assure that planned growth accomplishes goals set forth in the Village's
Comprehensive (Smart Growth) Plan;
B.
Promotes flexibility in design and the efficient use of land to facilitate
a more economic arrangement of buildings, uses, circulation systems
and utilities;
C.
Provide for the accomplishment of external architectural unity so
as to promote cohesiveness of design aesthetics throughout the entire
district;
D.
Provide more usable and suitably located common and open space areas
than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development
procedures.

Introduction. This section is designed to provide for the future growth and development of those residences and commercial businesses that seek an aesthetically attractive working environment. The intent and purpose of this section is to promote and maintain desirable economic development within the District that is practical, feasible, and an asset to owners, neighbors, and the Village of Hobart while maintaining an attractive environment. To maintain flexibility and a timely review procedure, the following site review procedures will be utilized for review of potential developments within the District. All other zoning classifications remain subject to site review procedures as outlined in Article XXXIII of this chapter.
B.
Objectives. The purpose of this section is to establish rules, regulations,
standards, and procedures for approval of all new development proposals
and the expansion of existing businesses and light manufacturing to
comply with the stated goals, objectives and aesthetics outline within
this article.
C.
Standard requirements. The interpretation and application of the
provisions of these standards shall be held as minimum requirements
for the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare. Projects
that are light industrial, research or institutional in nature shall
provide the Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector with a scoping
description that definitively identifies the intended use and scope
of a proposed facility.
D.
Character and intensity of land use. The uses proposed and their
intensity and arrangement on the site shall be of a visual and operational
character which:
(1)
Are compatible to the physical nature of the site with particular
concern for preservation of natural features, tree growth and open
space.
(2)
That, to the maximum extent practicable, would produce an attractive
environment of sustained aesthetic and ecological desirability, economic
stability and functional practicality compatible with the general
development plans for the area as established by the community.
(3)
Would not adversely affect the anticipated provision for school
or other municipal services.
(4)
Would not create traffic or parking demand incompatible with
the existing or proposed facilities to serve it.
(5)
Would not limit, lessen or not conform to the design guidelines,
themes and principal goals for development and aesthetics as stated
within this article that may be amended from time to time.
E.
Economic feasibility and impact. The proponents of a site plan application
shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Village staff and to the
Site Review Committee of its economic feasibility, of available adequate
financing, and that it would not adversely affect the economic prosperity
of the Village or the values of surrounding properties.
F.
Engineering design standards. The width of street right-of-way, width
of paving, width of location of street or other paving, outdoor lighting,
location of sewer, electrical, gas, cable, telephone, and water lines,
provision for stormwater drainage or other similar environmental engineering
considerations shall be based on standards necessary to implement
the specific function in the specific situation; provided, however,
in no case shall standards be less than those necessary to ensure
the public safety and welfare as determined by the Village-designated
engineer.
G.
Implementation schedule. The proponents of a plan within the District
shall submit a reasonable schedule for the implementation of the development
to the satisfaction of the Village planning staff and Site Review
Committee, including suitable provisions for assurance that each phase
could be brought to completion in a manner which would not result
in an adverse effect upon the community as a result of termination
at that point.
H.
Administration. The administration of this section shall be vested
in the following: Village Administrator, Community Development Director,
the Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector and Site Review Committee.
(1)
It shall be the duty of the Village Administrator and/or Community

Statutes.
(5)
Appeals. Unless otherwise provided herein, appeals to the requirements
contained in these standards shall be heard by the Board of Appeals.
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish general development
performance standards, in accordance with this chapter and the Village
Comprehensive (Smart Growth) Plan. These standards are intended and
designed to assure compatibility of uses; to prevent urban blight,
deterioration, and decay; and to enhance the health, safety, and general
welfare of the residents of the community.
B.
Building. The District ordinance encourages a variety of architectural
styles. However, basic harmony is intended to prevail to promote aesthetic
and visual compatibility so that no one structure detracts from the

of this chapter.
I.
Brown County Airport Zoning District. Applicable permits and approvals
specific to Brown County Chapter 24, Airport Zoning Districts, must
be provided prior to any Village permit issuance.
To provide for the basic needs of safety and security, appropriate
lighting shall be provided in order to delineate roads, drives, parking
areas, pedestrianways, buildings, and other organizational points.
Lighting shall be an integral part of the overall architectural design;
therefore, proposed lighting, whether freestanding or building-mounted,
shall complement the architectural character of the principal use.
Lighting design shall correlate energy conservation with aesthetic,
architectural, and safety factors.
A.
Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking, loading and service
areas shall be shaded, diffused, or arranged to reflect light away
from adjacent parcels and directed toward public streets. Glare, whether
direct or reflected, as differentiated from general illumination,
shall not be visible beyond the limits of the site from which it originates.
Parking lot lights may be used in either a single or multi-format.
Characteristics include 27,000 metal halide, spaced approximately
100 feet to 120 feet off center, consisting of sharp, cutoff-type
luminaries, maximum height for pole not to exceed 30 feet, to be an
approved pole. Poles must be uniform in style and height. The use
of wooden poles is prohibited.
B.
Walkway lighting should be of the same family as mentioned above,
height to be 10 feet to 14 feet above grade. Bollard lighting can
be used as low-level walkway illumination on private property.
C.
Building lighting should occur as part of the overall design concept
using recessed lighting in overhangs and at the entrance. Well designed
soft lighting of the building exterior is allowed, provided it does
not impact on the surrounding properties, complements the architecture,
and the light source is concealed.
D.
The use of building-mounted floodlights and tall "freeway-type" fixtures
is prohibited. Ground-mounted floodlights used to accent principal
buildings are permitted.
E.
Flag directional lighting is permitted with approval of terms and
conditions of use of such lighting by the Site Review Committee.
A.
Site plan approval required.
B.
Design objectives. The following objectives will be considered in
reviewing any application for a site plan approval:
(1)
To encourage harmonious development;
(2)
To encourage the provision of open space;
(3)
To encourage Owners to use creative and imaginative approaches
in their projects;
(4)
To provide an enjoyable living environment by preserving existing
topography, stands of trees, ponds, floodplains, and similar natural
assets.
(5)
To encourage a variety of living environments and an agreeable
mixture of housing types;
(6)
To require architectural plans that are consistent with design
guidelines and principal aesthetic goals for development as set forth
herein;
C.
Site plan approval. The following procedure shall be followed for
the submittal of site plans. Where procedures and requirements imposed
by this section of the ordinance are either more restrictive or less
restrictive than comparable procedures and requirements imposed by
any other provision of this chapter or any other law, ordinance, resolution
rule or regulation of any kind, the regulations which are more restrictive
or impose higher standards or requirements shall govern. For purposes
of this section, all applications must be executed by all owners and
the party or parties that will be responsible for the development
of the site, all of whom shall be collectively referred to in this
section as the "applicant."
(1)
Preliminary consultation. Prior to the submittal of a site plan,
it is recommended that the developer meet with the Zoning Administrator/Building
Inspector and other appropriate Village planning staff to discuss
the District zoning, site plan and landscaping plan requirements.
Such meeting should occur prior to any extensive outlay of funds on
the part of the developer since it is intended to identify potential
problems and methods to alleviate them and to encourage a cooperative
effort between the developer/owner and the Village.
(a)
Statements or recommendations made at the consultation are not
legally binding. The meeting is intended to ensure that the owner
is aware of the intent and purpose of this article.
(b)
In order to obtain information, each owner shall confer with
the Village staff and appropriate consultants at the call of the Village
in connection with the preparation of the District site plan application.
Of primary importance are policy issues such as density, external
and internal land uses, traffic circulation, parking requirements,
signage, lighting consistency with standards set forth in this chapter,
open space quantity and maintenance, general spatial characteristics
such as setbacks and architectural renderings of buildings. The owner
or interested party shall also provide a conceptual sketch or site
rendering at the time of the preapplication consultation. Village
staff will offer advice to the applicant regarding his proposal and
aid in understanding this article.
(2)
Filing prerequisite. Prior to the submittal of a site plan within
the District, the owner must be current on all real estate taxes,
assessments or other municipal charges, whether relating to the real
estate subject to the site plan application or otherwise located within
the Village.
(3)
Plan submittal. Ten copies of all site plans requiring approval
of the Site Review Committee shall be submitted to the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
(4)
Staff review. Upon receipt, the Clerk-Treasurer shall forward
the plans to the Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector for staff
review. The Village planning and public safety staff, and any appropriate
consultants, shall all review the plans and make recommendations regarding
their particular expertise to the Site Review Committee.
(5)
Time of Site Plan Committee review. If the site plan is filed
less than 10 days before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the
Site Review Committee, Village staff will attempt to review the site
plan and forward it to the Site Review Committee for consideration
at the next regularly scheduled meeting. If the site plan is not timely
filed, or if staff cannot make timely review, the site plan shall
be placed on the next subsequent regular meeting of the Site Review
Committee. Nothing in this provision shall limit the Site Plan Review
Committee's ability to schedule special meetings to consider site
plans, upon proper notice to the owner/developer, at the sole discretion
of the Site Review Committee.
(6)
Site Review Committee decision. The Site Review Committee shall
review and either approve, conditionally approve, or deny approval
of the site plan. Site plan approval and continuance of project planning
and construction shall be granted by the Site Review Committee upon
a determination that all phases, details, materials, aesthetics, land
uses, etc., are consistent with standards and guidelines herein, as
may be amended from time to time, and confirmation that the owner
is current on all taxes, assessments and other municipal charges.
(7)
Site Review Committee special exceptions. The Site Review Committee
may grant special exception to the dimensional standards applicable
in the District upon a finding that such exception is consistent with
the intent and purpose of this article and contemplated or existing
development in the area of the exception. A special exception shall
not be valid until reviewed and accepted by the Village Board under
the same standard.
