It is the intent of this chapter to accommodate creative and imaginative Planned Unit Developments and to permit those innovations in land development which are in the best interest of the Village. In order to accomplish this intent, it is the purpose of this chapter:
(a) To encourage, in a Planned Unit Development (PUD), a variety of architectural designs, structural techniques and types of structures in a maximum density permitted within the district in which the Planned Unit Development is proposed;
(b) To encourage the flexible spacing of lots and buildings in order to encourage separation of pedestrian and vehicular circulation, the conservation of natural amenities of the landscape, and the provision of readily accessible common open space areas where appropriate;
(c) To encourage residential uses that result in an improvement to the housing stock of the Village as it relates to building size, architectural character and the introduction of housing choices currently not available in the Village.
(d) To encourage mixed uses (i.e. residential/commercial) where the Planned Unit Development includes the appropriate underlying zone districts.
