PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT |
PURPOSE. The purpose of the
PDD Planned Development District is to encourage and provide a means
for effectuating desirable development, redevelopment, rehabilitation
and conservation in the Village by allowing for greater flexibility,
better utilization of topographical and natural site characteristics,
more economical and stable development with variations in siting,
land use and types of dwellings and commercial buildings. The regulations
contained herein are established to permit latitude in the development
of a building site if such development is found not to be harmful,
offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment, property values
or character of the neighborhood in which it is to be located, and
if found to be in accordance with the purpose, spirit and intent
of this chapter. It is intended to permit and encourage diversification,
variation and imagination in the relationship of uses and structures
and open space for developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive
and unified projects. Economic considerations, amenities and compatibility
of a Planned Development District are to be assured through adoption
of a development plan.
APPLICATION TO EXISTING USES. This
section shall operate as a conditional use and as an alternative
to permitted uses and regulations applicable to existing districts
and shall be applicable to existing districts only when such lands
are zoned under a Planned Development District by action of the
Village Board.
STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS.
(a) Uses Permitted. All uses which are presently permitted
in this chapter and such other uses which, in the opinion of the
Plan Commission and the Village Board, are felt to be compatible
with the permitted uses referred to herein, and which will effectuate
the intended purpose of this chapter, shall be permitted.
(b) Lot Area. The minimum lot area which may be permitted
for application of the Planned Development District shall be 100,000
square feet, except when undertaken in conjunction with a public
improvement, in which case 25,000 square feet will be the minimum.
(c) Standards. Standards for land area per dwelling unit,
land coverage by building, density, front, side, and rear yard setback
requirements, building height requirements, aesthetic considerations
and other requirements deemed necessary by the Plan Commission and
the Village Board shall be determined by standards established in
the applicable existing zoning district most similar in nature and
function to the proposed Planned Development District, as determined
by the Plan Commission and the Village Board. Exceptions to these
standards are permissible when the Plan Commission and the Village
Board find that such exceptions will:
1. Encourage a desirable living environment.
2. Not adversely affect property
values of adjacent or neighboring lands or the character of same,

if any, in locations of levels of streets or alleys and any proposed
street or alley closings or vacations.
