This article is designed to encourage innovations in residential development so that desirable suburban development can be accomplished. This article recognizes that while standard zoning function and subdivision function are appropriate for the regulation of land use in areas of neighborhoods that are already substantially developed, these controls represent a type of preregulation, regulatory rigidity and uniformity which will not permit the type of land development contained in the planned residential development district (PRDD). Thus, where planned residential development district techniques are deemed appropriate through the rezoning of land to a planned residential development district by the Village Board, the set of use and dimensional specifications of Schedule A of §
30-25 of this chapter are herein replaced by the approval process
in which an approved plan becomes the basis for continuing land use
controls.
To carry out the intent of this article, a planned residential
development district shall achieve the following objectives:
A. The proposed residential development will be in harmony with the
general purpose, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan of
the Village and this chapter.
B. The proposed residential development will comply with all applicable
regulations of this chapter except as modified by the authority of
this article.
C. The proposed residential development will not have a substantial
or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, utility facilities,
traffic conditions and other matters affecting the public health,
safety and general welfare.
D. The proposed residential development will be constructed, arranged
and operated so as not to interfere with the development and use of
neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
E. The proposed residential development will be served adequately by
essential public facilities and services, such as but not limited
to sanitary sewers, public water supply, stormwater drainage facilities,
highway capacity and other services essential to residential use.
F. The proposed residential development shall provide an effective and
unified treatment of the development possibilities on the project
site, making appropriate provisions for the preservation of trees,
streams, wetlands, natural topography and geological features and
the prevention of soil erosion.
