improved environmental design in the Village of Webster by allowing
for greater freedom, imagination and flexibility in the development
of land while ensuring substantial compliance with the basic intent
of this chapter and the general plan for community development. It
allows diversification and variation in the relationship of uses,
structures, open spaces and heights of structures in developments
conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects.
B.
Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted in
the Planned Unit Development District; provided, however, that no
use shall be permitted except in conformity with a specific and precise
development plan pursuant to the procedural and regulatory provisions
as hereinafter set forth:
(1)
Any use permitted by right or as a conditional grant
in any of the other districts of this chapter may be permitted, subject
to the criteria as established herein, but such requirements as are
made a part of an approved, recorded, precise development plan shall
be, along with the recorded plan itself, construed to be enforced
as part of this chapter.
(2)
Lot area, lot width, height, floor area ratio, yard
and usable open space requirements. In the Planned Unit Development
District, there shall be no predetermined specific lot area, lot width,
height, yard and usable open space requirements, but such requirements
as are made a part of an approved, recorded, precise development plan

enforced as a part of this chapter.

District, off-street parking facilities shall be provided in accordance

as are made a part of an approved, recorded, precise development plan.
C.
Criteria for approval. As a basis for determining
the acceptability of a Planned Unit Development District application,
the following criteria shall be applied to the precise development
plan for such district, with specific consideration as to whether
or not it is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter,
has been prepared with competent professional advice and guidance
and produces significant benefits in terms of environmental design:
(1)
Character and intensity of land use. In a Planned
Unit Development District, the uses proposed and their intensity and
arrangement on the site shall be of a visual and operational character
which:
(a)
Is compatible with the physical nature of the
site.
(b)
Would produce an attractive environment of sustained
aesthetic and ecologic desirability, economic stability and functional
practicality.
(c)
Would not adversely affect the anticipated provision
for school or other municipal services.
(d)
Would not create a traffic or parking demand
incompatible with the existing or proposed facilities to serve it.
(2)
Economic feasibility and impact. The proponents of
a Planned Unit Development District application shall provide evidence
satisfactory to the Village Board 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.
(3)
Engineering design standards. The width of street
right-of-way, width and location of street or other paving, outdoor
lighting, location of sewer and water lines, provision for stormwater
drainage or other similar environmental engineering consideration
shall be based upon determination as to the appropriate standards
necessary to implement the specific function in the specific situation;
provided, however, that in no case shall standards be less than those
necessary to ensure the public safety and welfare as determined by
the village.
(4)
Preservation and maintenance of open space. In a Planned
Unit Development District, adequate provision shall be made for the
permanent preservation and maintenance of common open space either
by private reservation or dedication to the public.
(a)
In the case of private reservation, the open
area to be reserved shall be protected against building development
by conveying to the village, as part of the conditions for project
approval, an open space easement over such open areas.
(b)
The care and maintenance of such open space
reservation shall be assured by establishment of appropriate management
organization for the project. The manner of assuring maintenance and
assessing such cost to individual properties shall be included in
any contractual agreement with the village and shall be included in
the title to each property.
(c)
Ownership and tax liability of private open
space reservation shall be established in a manner acceptable to the
village and made a part of the conditions of plan approval.
(5)
Implementation schedule. The proponents of a Planned
Unit Development District shall submit a reasonable schedule for the
implementation of the development to the satisfaction of the Village
Board, including suitable provisions for assurance that each phase
could be brought to completion in a manner which would not result
in adverse effect upon the community as a result of termination at
that point.
D.
Procedure. The procedure for rezoning to a Planned
Unit Development District shall be as required for any other zoning
