a. The application must be accompanied by an overall development plan showing use or uses, dimensions, and locations of proposed streets, parks, playgrounds, school sites, and other open spaces, with the pertinent information as may be necessary to determine the contemplated arrangement or use which makes it desirable to apply regulation requirements different from those ordinarily applicable under this title.

c. That property adjacent to the area included in the plan will not be adversely affected.
d. The plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of this title to promote public health, safety and welfare.

f. The tract or parcel of land involved must be either in one ownership or the subject of an application filed jointly by the owners of all the property included or filed by any governmental agency.
2. The village board shall take action on the approval or disapproval of a proposed planned unit development following the receipt of the board of appeals recommendation on said planned unit development.
3. If the village board approves the plans for a planned development, certificates of occupancy may be issued in accordance with the plan even though the use of land and the location of the buildings to be erected in the area, and the yards and open spaces provided in the plan do not conform in all respects to the district regulations of the district in which it is located.
4. Upon abandonment of a particular project authorized under this section or upon the expiration of three (3) years from the issuance of a planned development authorization which has not been completed (or commenced and an extension of time for completion granted), the authorization shall expire and the area allotted for a planned development shall revert to the zoning district which governed prior to the planned development authorization. The land and structures thereon may be used without such approval for any other lawful use permissible within the use, height, and area district regulations of the previous district.
5. Failure to file an application for review and approval of the planned unit development within one year of the planned development authorization shall render such authorization null and void and the area so authorized shall return to its prior district classification.
