Because a large scale business planned development includes multiple principal uses that would otherwise require classification of the subject property into two (2) or more standard zoning districts in the village, a proposal for such a development would present to both the village and the developer planning difficulties and problems if it were to be classified as a special use in any one standard zoning district. The purpose of this article is to avoid said difficulties and problems, and to better accomplish the purposes and objectives set forth in this article, by providing for the creation of a separate zoning classification for, regulations for, and procedures for review and approval of, large scale business planned developments in the village.
The additional purposes of the large scale business planned development regulations are as follows:
A. To encourage and allow for the development of large areas within the village of Hampshire under unified control and proposing an appropriate mixture of uses, including office, retail, commercial, service, research-development, industrial and residential, combined in a single, integrated development project.
B. To provide the village of Hampshire control over various aspects of such developments which would not be available to it under other district zoning regulations.
C. To encourage and allow more creative and imaginative design for such large developments than would be possible under district zoning regulations.
D. To obtain the preservation of natural site qualities, facilities and open space within the community.
E. To promote economic opportunities within the community.
F. To provide for more efficient use of the land to be developed in such developments. (Ord. 04-05, 2-19-2004)
