In order to receive approval of a Planned Unit Development Overlay designation, the applicant must demonstrate that the following principles are met:
(a) Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses: The proposed uses in the Planned Unit Development are consistent with the current or proposed underlying zoning and are compatible with the uses on abutting properties and the area in general. The uses must be of a type and so located as to cause no undue detrimental impact on surrounding properties.
(b) Density: The residential density of the Planned Unit Development should not exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the residential density requirements of the underlying district. Any increase in density should be related to a corresponding increase in the amount of open space provided, and should not result in a significant increase in impervious surface coverage from what would normally be expected under standard zoning.
(c) Open Space: The Planned Unit Development shall provide for the reservation, within the tract to be developed, of a significant amount of land area as common public open space. This may include such areas as pedestrian corridors between different uses, public gathering places, park land, or sensitive environmental areas. This common open space shall be conveyed to a legally established property owner association or trust, unless it is determined by the Village that it should be publicly dedicated. The area shall be in such a composition and configuration as to be desirable as a gathering space or passage way, and should not consist of isolated or fragmented pieces of land that provide no public use or benefit. In general, PUD site plans should demonstrate a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of gross land area as open space, exclusive of private streets, parking areas, sidewalks that are an integral part of a specific use, or the required perimeter setbacks. Not more than fifty percent (50%) of the open space may be designated for storm water detention or retention basins.
