[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a) 
Legacy district status.
(1) 
Land classified in a PD Zoning District on the effective date specified in § 90-10.30 will continue to be classified in the PD District until it is rezoned at the request of the property owner or through a Village-initiated rezoning.
(2) 
No applications to establish new PD Zoning Districts or to expand the boundaries of existing PD Zoning Districts may be accepted for processing after the effective date specified in § 90-10.30, except that PD rezoning applications that were in process on the effective date specified in § 90-10.30 may continue to be processed and may be approved. (See the transitional provisions of § 90-10.110.)
(3) 
The PD Zoning District regulations of this section and all applicable conditions of approval of the (formerly) approved PD plans govern the use and development of PD zoned areas.
(b) 
District regulations.
(1) 
Permitted uses. Uses permitted by-right in the PD District include all uses and structures existing on the effective date specified in § 90-10.30, including the right to repair and maintain such uses and structures, except that all proposed remodeling, additions, new principal or accessory structures, or changes of use require conditional use approval in accordance with Division 90-550.
(2) 
Conditional uses. Uses allowed through the conditional use approval process include all continuations of uses existing on the effective date specified in § 90-10.30 involving remodeling, additions or new construction of structures, and all changes of use from those existing on the effective date specified in § 90-10.30.
(3) 
Minimum area. In order to be approved, proposed planned developments must meet the following minimum land area requirements:
a. 
Residential and open space uses: 100,000 square feet.
b. 
Mixed (residential and nonresidential) uses: 200,000 square feet.
c. 
Commercial-industrial uses: 200,000 square feet.
(4) 
Application of regulations. In addition to the uses permitted in the underlying district, any other use may be permitted as designated in this section for the PD District, consistent with the regulations of this section. Individual uses and structures in a planned development district need not comply with the specific lot and building regulations of the underlying base zoning district, provided that the spirit and intent of such requirements are complied with in the total development plan for such project, consistent with the regulations of this section.
(c) 
Procedures for approval.
(1) 
Before officially submitting an application, the applicant must meet with the Plan Commission for a preliminary discussion as to the scope and proposed nature of the contemplated development, especially as it relates to the applicant's intentions to submit a general or detailed application.
(2) 
Following the preapplication conference, an application for PD Zoning Map amendment may be made to the Clerk-Treasurer by the owner or agent of the property proposed for such development. The application must be accompanied by the fee that has been established by the Village and the following information, in appropriate detail as to the type of approval (general or detailed) desired:
a. 
A statement describing the general character of the intended development and the desirability of applying the requirements of this district rather than those ordinarily applicable through basic zoning. The statement should at least include:
1. 
Statistical data on the total size of the project area, open space area, residential density computation and proposed number of units, population analysis, market analysis, economic analysis, impact upon municipal services and any other similar data pertinent to a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed development.
2. 
A general summary of financial factors, such as the value of structures, estimated improvement costs, amount proposed for landscaping and special features, estimated sale or rental price and total anticipated development cost of the project.
3. 
General outline of the intended organizational structure related to the property owner's association, deed restrictions and provision of private services.
b. 
A general development plan and related maps and plans, including descriptive statements of objectives, principles and standards used on its formulation of the project, showing at least the following information as may be required by the Plan Commission and Village Board to apply the criteria for approval as set forth in this section:
1. 
An accurate map of the project area, including its relationship to surrounding properties.
2. 
The pattern of public and private roads, driveways, parking facilities and intended design standards.
3. 
The size, arrangement and location of lots or proposed building groups.
4. 
The location of recreational and open space areas and areas reserved or dedicated for public uses, such as a school, park, etc.
5. 
The type, size and location of structures.
6. 
General landscape treatment.
7. 
Architectural drawings and sketches illustrating the design and character of the proposed structures.
8. 
The location of sanitary sewer and water facilities.
9. 
Existing topography and storm drainage pattern and the proposed storm drainage system showing basic topographic changes.
(3) 
The petition must be referred to the Plan Commission and processed as a zoning change. Upon completion of the necessary study and investigation, the Plan Commission must make its recommendation to the Village Board as to the appropriateness and desirability of the application of the PD District as it relates to the suitability of the building, site and development plans and any additional conditions which it may feel necessary or appropriate.
(4) 
Upon receipt of the Plan Commission's recommendation, the Village Board, before taking affirmative action to approve such petition, must hold a public hearing pursuant to statutory provisions for zoning amendments. Notice for such hearing must include reference to the consideration of the proposed project development plans coincident with the requested zoning change.
(d) 
Review and approval criteria. The Plan Commission in making its recommendations, and the Village Board in making its decision, must consider and determine that:
(1) 
The proponents of the proposed development have demonstrated that they intend to start construction within a reasonable period of time following the approval of the project and requested overlay of the PD District, and that the development will be carried out according to a reasonable construction schedule which is satisfactory to the Village.
(2) 
The proposed development is consistent in all respects with the purpose of this section and with the spirit and intent of this chapter; is in conformity with the general plans for community development; would not be contrary to the general welfare and economic prosperity of the Village or the immediate neighborhood; the specific development plans have been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance; and the benefits and improved design of the resultant development justifies the variation from the normal requirements of this chapter through the application of the PD District.
(3) 
In the case of proposed residential developments:
a. 
Such development will create an attractive residential environment of sustained desirability and economic stability, including structures in relation to terrain, consideration of safe pedestrian flow, ready access to recreation space and coordination with overall plans for the neighborhood.
b. 
The total average residential density of the project will be compatible with the general plan.
1. 
Where the land is in the Urban Holding District, the average residential density allowable is the average as specified in the adopted general plan or in the adopted neighborhood plan for the subject site.
2. 
For specific project density, computation where the land is partly or entirely in a basic residential development district, the project area must be measured to include all of the land, exclusive of existing public rights-of-way or public open space easements. The allowable maximum density must be computed separately for each existing basic district which applies to the project area, except for industrial, wetland-floodplain and agricultural districts. The density must be computed by multiplying the area in each such district by the percentage factor given in Table 90-160-1, and then dividing the result by the number of square feet per family as required by the district. The total allowable density for the project is the sum of such individual computations. If the project includes wetlands or floodplains, the maximum density may be increased by the percentage of such land, but no more than 40%.

NOTE:
1
As determined in the adopted general or neighborhood plan.
3. 
An increase in the allowable maximum density, not to exceed 10%, may be permitted upon recommendation of the Plan Commission, and the increased density is justified in terms of the relationship to open areas, service demand and the total quality and character of the project.
4. 
The population composition of the development will not result in adverse effects from that anticipated in the general plan upon the community's capacity to provide needed school or other municipal service facilities.
5. 
An adequate guarantee is provided for permanent retention as open area of open land area resulting from the application of the regulations of this section, either by private reservation or by dedication to the public.
(4) 
In the case of proposed commercial developments:
a. 
The economic practicality of the proposed development can be justified on the basis of purchasing potential competitive relationship and demonstrated tenant interest.
b. 
The proposed development will be adequately served by off-street parking and truck service facilities.
c. 
Locations for entrances and exits have been designed to prevent unnecessary interference with the safe and efficient movement of traffic on surrounding streets, and the development will not create an adverse effect on the general traffic pattern of the area.
d. 
The architectural design, landscaping, control of lighting and general site development will result in an attractive and harmonious service area compatible with, and not adversely affecting, the property values of the surrounding neighborhood.
(5) 
In the case of proposed industrial developments:
a. 
The operational character, physical plan arrangement and architectural design of buildings will be compatible with the latest in performance standards and industrial development design, and will not result in an adverse effect upon the property values of the surrounding neighborhood.
b. 
The proposed development will have adequate provision for off-street parking and truck service areas, and will be adequately served by rail or highway facilities.
c. 
The proposed development is properly related to the total transportation system of the Village and will not result in an adverse effect on the safety and efficiency of the public streets.
(6) 
In the case of mixed developments:
a. 
The proposed mixture of uses produces a unified composite which is compatible within itself and which, as a total development entity, is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and consistent with the general objectives of the general plan.
b. 
Various types of uses conform to the general requirements as set forth in this section which are applicable to projects of such character.
c. 
Allowable maximum residential density must be computed in the same manner as provided in Subsection (d)(3)b2 of this section. Such figure must then be reduced by the percentage which any nonresidential use, landscaped area, pedestrian malls or other areas which, in the opinion of the Plan Commission, contribute to the enhancement of the total project environment which may be excluded. The resulting allowable maximum density may be increased by the addition of residential units located in the same building with a nonresidential use, on the basis of one dwelling unit for each 3,600 square feet of nonresidential use area excluded from the normal density computation.
(e) 
Final decisionmaking.
(1) 
The Village Board, after due consideration, may deny the petition as submitted, approve the petition or approve the petition subject to additional conditions.
(2) 
The general or detailed approval of a petition and consequent amending of the Zoning Map must be based on and include conditions to the building, site and operational plans for the development as approved by the Village Board.
a. 
General approval. Plans submitted for such approval need not necessarily be completely detailed at the time of overlay zoning, provided that they are of sufficient detail to satisfy the Plan Commission and Village Board as to the general character, scope and appearance of the proposed development. Such preliminary plan must at least designate the pattern of proposed streets; the size and arrangement of lots as in the preliminary platting process, which may indeed also be involved; the basic pattern of land use; and illustrate a typical example of the development proposed. The approval of such preliminary plan must be conditioned upon the subsequent submittal and approval of more specific and detailed plans as the development progresses so that all detailed approvals are complete before an occupancy certificate is required.
b. 
Detailed approval. Plans submitted for detailed approval must be sufficiently precise so that all required information is identified, and that any approvals given are all that would be necessary prior to issuance of a zoning permit.
(3) 
Any subsequent change or addition to the plans or use must first be submitted to the Plan Commission for approval and if, in the opinion of the Plan Commission, such change or addition constitutes a substantial alteration of the original plan, a public hearing before the Village Board is required in accordance with the Zoning Map amendment procedures of this zoning chapter.
