10-17-1: INTRODUCTION:
   A.   This chapter details requirements for planned unit development. A special use permit for a planned unit development allows an innovative and imaginative design and provides that each case is considered individually.
   B.   Different types of planned unit developments are possible: cluster developments of single-family dwellings on reduced sized lots with common open space and developments combining two (2) or more land uses in a coordinated whole.
   C.   The unique and substantially different character of planned unit developments requires their administrative processing as a "special use" in this title. Planned unit developments are more complex and of a different character than other special uses requiring the establishment herein of specific and additional procedures, standards and exceptions to guide the recommendations of the Plan Commission and the action of the Village Board.
