(A) The granting of a planned unit development application shall require a rezoning, that is, an amendment of the Zoning Map constituting a part of this chapter, so as to designate the property which is the subject of the application as planned unit development. Further, an approval granted under this section, including all aspects of the final plan and conditions imposed, shall constitute an inseparable part of the zoning amendment.
(B) (1) The Planning Commission shall hold a hearing at which the petitioner shall present the proposed PUD development plan, and the Planning Commission shall provide the petitioner with its comments within 30 days after holding such a hearing. No fees shall be charged for said preliminary hearing.
(2) The petitioner shall next submit to the Clerk five copies of the PUD development plan, together with the base application fee. Copies of the plan as submitted shall be distributed to the appropriate reviewing agencies (for example, the Village Engineer, the Village Planning Consultant, the County Drain Commissioner, the state’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (if wetlands are involved) and the like) for review to determine if the development concept can be accommodated by the existing public utility, street and general service facilities as necessary for the project and determine if additional impact studies are required. Any costs incurred for additional reviews are the responsibility of the applicant.
(3) The Chairperson of the Planning Commission or Village Clerk shall notify the petitioner of any questions raised by the reviewing agencies during said review and shall submit like information to the Planning Commission for its consideration, along with a report from the Village Planning Consultant which evaluates the planning aspects of the project and its impact on the present and future development of that part of the village in which it is located.
(4) The Planning Commission shall, after holding public hearings on said PUD development plan, noticed in accordance with § 154.296 of this code, and reviewing said reports, make its recommendation to the Village Council on said plan within 60 days of its date of filing unless said time is agreed to be extended by the petitioner in writing; provided that the Planning Commission may extend this time for periods not to exceed 30 days each if such extensions are necessary for adequate review.
(5) If the PUD development plan is rejected by the Planning Commission, its reasons therefore shall be specified in a letter from the Planning Commission to the applicant.
(6) The Planning Commission’s recommendations and all related reports shall be submitted to the Village Council for its consideration. The Council shall, after holding a public hearing on the PUD development plan and petition, noticed in accordance with § 154.296 of this code, take final action on said plan and petition within 30 days of the date it receives a report from the Planning Commission or such reasonable extension of time as may be necessary for adequate review.
(7) If the site plan is rejected by the Council, its reasons shall be based upon the standards of review listed above, specified in writing and approved by the Council.
(8) Approval of the final PUD site plan by the Council shall constitute approval of the rezoning request and shall entitle the applicant to apply for building permits.
