(A) Based upon the following standards, the Planning Commission and/or Zoning Commission, as required, may recommend denial, approval, or approval with conditions, and the Village Council may deny, approve, or approve with conditions the proposed planned unit development:
(1) The planned unit development meets the qualification requirements;
(2) The uses proposed will have a beneficial effect, in terms of public health, safety, welfare, or convenience, on present and future potential surrounding land uses. The uses proposed will not adversely affect the public utility and circulation system, surrounding properties, or the environment. The public benefit shall be one which could not be achieved under the regulations of the underlying district alone, or that of any other zoning district;
(3) Judicious effort has been used to preserve significant natural and historical features, surface, and underground water bodies and the integrity of the land; and
(4) Safe, convenient, uncongested, and well defined vehicular and pedestrian circulation within and to the site is provided. Drives, streets, and other elements shall be designed to discourage through traffic, while promoting safe and efficient traffic operations within the site and at its access points.
(B) The village may impose additional reasonable conditions:
(1) To ensure that public services and facilities affected by a planned unit development will be capable of accommodating increased service and facility loads caused by the planned unit development;
(2) To protect the natural environment and conserve natural resources and energy;
(3) To ensure compatibility with adjacent uses of land; and
(4) To promote the use of land in a socially and economically desirable manner.
(C) Upon approval of the conceptual PUD site plan by the Village Council, the property shall be rezoned to an appropriate Planned Unit Development Zoning District, with the underlying zoning district noted on the official zoning map for a residential planned unit development.
