A procedure is hereby established for the designation of CD Districts, in order to facilitate planned and controlled development in accordance with the Village Comprehensive Plan, as described in § 310-45 and to provide a basis for possible development on a scale and with a flexibility that could not otherwise be achieved in the Village's present zoning districts.
In addition to the purposes and legislative intent set forth in § 310-2 and Subsection A(2) of § 310-44 of this chapter, the districts established pursuant to this article shall have among their purposes the following:
A.
To recognize that some developments may, by virtue of their scale, size, complexity and unique building sites, require specialized consideration and treatment by Village authorities and may not be adequately addressed by district regulations as set forth in Article III;
B.
To provide for the establishment of separate and distinct
substantive standards for planned and controlled developments of varying
sizes or to recognize and encourage the advantages which may accrue
from the complexities of particular and/or unique parcel size, location
within the Village, juxtaposition with adjacent land uses and community
facilities and functions and to take into account the increasing need
for flexibility in types of uses, building types, location and design
and development timing required in such developments and the increasing
need to plan and control such complex developments so as to minimize
or to compensate for, their effect on surrounding uses and public
services;
C.
To provide combinations of permitted uses and variations
in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces, density and
heights of structures in developments conceived as cohesive and unified
projects; and
D.
To provide a controlled review and zoning procedure
and to encourage good development while assuring that such development
shall further the purposes of this chapter and the Village Comprehensive
Plan.
A.
Permitted uses. All uses within a CD District shall
be determined by the Board of Trustees according to the provisions
of this article, provided that permitted uses may include only those
uses permitted in Residence C, Residence D, Business A or Business
B districts, irrespective of the location of the CD District.
B.
Location. A CD District may be located only west of
the Metro North Railroad right-of-way which is zoned, at the time
the application, as Residence C, Residence D, Business A, Business
B or Residence B.
C.
Area. The minimum area required to qualify for a CD
District shall be two contiguous acres.
D.
Ownership. Application for a CD District relating
to a particular parcel or parcels of land shall be made by or on behalf
of all owners of such parcel(s).
The Board of Trustees shall be the Village authority
responsible for designating a CD District.
The procedure for designation of a CD District shall be as set forth in § 310-47 of this chapter.
