The purpose of the Planned Development “PD” District is to permit comprehensively planned developments approved by the Planning Commission and Village Council under more flexible zoning guidelines and site design criteria than permitted in traditional districts. The suspension of traditional zoning provisions is intended to:
(a) Encourage creative, high quality site design practices in the development of commercial and industrial areas;
(b) Promote harmony and integration with existing developments; protect adjoining properties from adverse impacts;
(c) Promote safe and efficient pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular movement;
(d) Promote efficient layout of infrastructure; and
(e) Promote protection or enhancement of natural and historic resources.
