(a) A primary objective of the Village is to encourage new, high-quality residential development at selected locations, as defined in the Village Plan, which is sensitive to the unique character and potential of the Village. Toward achieving this objective, the Village has, in adopting the Village Plan, clearly identified those locations where planned development is to be encouraged, and indicated the basic scale of development appropriate to these locations.
(b) The purpose of the Planned Development District is to:
(1) Encourage unique and outstanding design that can respond to the type of market most likely to be economically successful in the Village;
(2) Achieve development which is consistent with the scale and character of the Village; and
(3) Preserve and utilize topography and other natural site features and natural resources to both protect the natural environment and enhance the beauty of the landscape.
(c) The Planned Development Districts offer opportunities for design, innovation, for combining a variety of housing types into a single development, and the opportunity for creating unique high-quality residential environments. Therefore, this chapter sets forth zoning standards and land planning and design criteria, supplementary to those applicable in the standard zoning districts established by this Code, under which a developer may prepare development plans particularly designed to meet and solve the unusual and unique opportunities and conditions which exist in the Planned Development Districts, as defined and designated by the Zone Plan or Map adopted as part of this Code.
