A.
The planned unit development conditional use is intended to permit
developments that will, over a period of time, be enhanced by coordinated
area site planning, diversified location of structures and/or mixing
of compatible uses. Such developments are intended to provide a safe
and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle traffic; to provide
attractive recreation and open spaces as integral parts of the developments;
to enable economic design in the location of public and private utilities
and community facilities; and to ensure adequate standards of construction
and planning. The planned unit development under this chapter will
allow for flexibility of overall development design with benefits
from such design flexibility intended to be derived by both the developer
and the community, while, at the same time, maintaining, insofar as
possible, the land use density and other standards or use requirements
as set forth in the underlying basic zoning district.
B.
The unified and planned development of a site in a single, partnership or corporate ownership or control or in common ownership under the Unit Ownership Act set forth in Chapter 703 of the Wisconsin Statutes (condominiums) may be permitted by the City upon specific petition under § 450-36 of this chapter and after public hearing, with such development encompassing one or more principal uses or structures and related accessory uses or structures, when all regulations and standards as set forth in this article have been met.
This article contemplates that there may be residential, commercial,
and industrial planned unit developments and mixed compatible-use
developments.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
A planned unit development shall be consistent in all respects
with the expressed intent of this article and with the spirit and
intent of this chapter; shall be in conformity with the adopted Comprehensive
Plan, neighborhood plan or any adopted component thereof; and shall
not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of
the community.

B.
Density requirements (lot area, width and yard requirements). The
district area, width and yard requirements of the basic use district
may be modified; however, in no case shall the average density in
a residential district exceed the number of dwelling units that would
have been permitted if the planned unit development regulations had
not been utilized.
D.

development shall be considered as one tract, lot or parcel, and the
legal description must define said PUD as a single parcel, lot or
tract.

for surface water and stormwater.
B.
The site will be accessible from public roads that are adequate to
carry the traffic that can be expected to be generated by the development.

and facilities, such as fire and police protection, street maintenance,
water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage, and maintenance of public
areas, by the development.

adequate to serve the residents of the development and, in the case
of public dedicated streets, will meet the minimum standards of all
applicable ordinances or administrative regulations of the City.

The division of any land or lands within a planned unit development
for the purpose of change or conveyance of ownership may be accomplished
pursuant to the land division/subdivision regulations of the City
when such division is contemplated.
Sections 450-29 through 450-34 set forth the basic philosophy and intent in providing for planned unit developments, the kinds thereof, the general requirements, physical requirements and requirements as to public services and facilities. The following sections are intended to set forth the procedures and considerations involved leading to possible approval of such developments.
