Planned Development Districts shall include residential, commercial and industrial subdistricts, with the potential for limited mixed-use combinations of residential/commercial uses: Planned Unit District (PUD), Planned Commercial District (PCD), and Planned Industrial District (PIO). It is the intent of the Planned Development Districts to promote the progressive development of land and construction thereon; further it is expected that planned development will achieve:
(a) A more useful and harmonious pattern of residential uses with open space and recreation areas and more convenience in the location of accessory commercial uses and services.
(b) A development pattern which preserves and utilizes natural topography and geologic features, scenic vistas, trees and other vegetation, and prevents the disruption of normal drainage patterns.
(c) A more efficient use of land than is generally achieved through conventional development resulting in substantial savings through shorter utility lines and streets.
(d) Commercial areas that: reflect the pedestrian scale and varied traditional architectural styles of commercial downtown Granville; increase tax revenues to both the local schools and the Village, while minimizing costs to the Village for infrastructure acquisition and maintenance; and preserve or enhance, rather than harm, neighborhood, Village, and Granville Township quality of life and property values.
(e) A development pattern in harmony with land use density, transportation facilities, and community facilities objectives of the comprehensive plan.
