(A) General. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this section, planned developments shall be developed in conformity with this chapter and all other applicable codes and ordinances of the village. Modifications that deviate from the bulk, density and design provisions in this Zoning Ordinance and in other applicable regulations are privileges and will be considered by the village only in direct response to the tangible community benefits received from the P.D. These benefits shall be in the form of: exceptional amenities; outstanding environmental, landscape, architectural or site design; or the conservation of special human-made or natural features of the site.
(B) Bulk regulations. P.D.s are governed by the bulk regulations of the underlying zoning district. However, the Planning and Zoning Board may recommend and Village Council may authorize, exceptions to the applicable bulk regulations of this chapter within the boundaries of the planned development including building height, lot area, lot width, and yard setback requirements, provided that:
(1) The exceptions shall be solely for the purpose of promoting an efficient and coordinated site plan, no less beneficial to the residents or occupants of the development, as well as the neighboring property, than would be obtained under the bulk regulations of this chapter for buildings developed on separate zoning lots; and
(2) Along the periphery of the P.D.s, yards or setbacks shall be provided that meet or exceed the regulations of the district in which the P.D. is located.
(C) Land uses. The Planning and Zoning Board may recommend, and Village Council may authorize, that there be permitted in part of the area of a proposed P.D., and for the duration of the development, specified uses not permitted by the use regulations of the district in which the development is proposed. Proposed P.D.s with mixed land uses shall not be recommended or approved unless:
(1) The proposed land uses are necessary or desirable and are appropriate with respect to the primary purpose of the P.D.; and
(2) The proposed uses are not of such a nature or so located as to exercise a detrimental influence on the surrounding neighborhood.
(D) Other. See § 15.15.445 below for additional required findings.
