PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
§ 152.230 PURPOSE.
   (A)   It is the purpose of this subchapter to allow flexibility in development which either includes a mix of land uses or is proposed for a site containing unique natural features which the developer and the village desire to preserve. The standards of this subchapter are intended to encourage innovative design and to create opportunities which may not be obtainable through the more rigid standards of the other zoning districts.
   (B)   The Planned Unit Development (hereinafter referred to in this subchapter as the “PUD”) standards are not intended to be used as a technique to circumvent the intent of this chapter, to avoid imposition of specific zoning ordinance standards, or the planning upon which this chapter is based. Thus, the provisions of this subchapter are designed to promote land use substantially consistent with recommendations of the village's master plan and the character of the surrounding area, with modifications and departures from generally applicable requirements made to provide the developer with flexibility in design on the basis of the total PUD plan approved by the village.
(Ord. 150, passed 10-12-2020)
§ 152.231 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
   (A)   A PUD may be applied for in any zoning district. The approval of a PUD application shall require a rezoning by way of amendment of this chapter upon the recommendation of the Village Planning Commission and approval of the Village Council. The process for PUD approval shall be in accordance with § 152.235. Notification and public hearing requirements shall be in accordance with § 152.460.
   (B)   Generally, proposed uses shall be consistent with the underlying zoning designation before application for PUD and the future land use map in the village master plan. However, it is recognized that the PUD option may allow mixed uses and flexibility in use. In this regard, mixed or different uses may be allowed as part of flexibility in use. In this regard, mixed or different uses may be allowed as part of a PUD application, provided that uses are consistent with the goals and objectives of the master plan and subject to adequate public health, safety, and welfare protection mechanisms, which are designed into the development to ensure the compatibility of varied land uses both inside and outside the development.
(Ord. 150, passed 10-12-2020)
§ 152.232 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA.
   The applicant for a PUD must demonstrate each of the following criteria:
   (A)   The subject site is under the control of one owner or group of owners and shall be capable of being planned and developed as one integral unit.
   (B)   Granting the PUD will result in at least one of the following:
      (1)   A recognizable and material benefit to the ultimate users of the project and to the community, where such benefit would otherwise be unfeasible or unlikely to be achieved without application of the PUD regulations, including special sensitivity to adjacent land uses, well-designed access and circulation systems, and/or integration of various site features into a unified development;
      (2)   Long-term protection and preservation of natural resources and natural features of a significant quantity, where such benefit would otherwise be unfeasible or unlikely to be achieved without application of the PUD regulations.
      (3)   Long-term protection of historic structures or significant architecture worthy of historic preservation.
      (4)   The PUD will provide a complementary mixture of uses or a variety of housing types within a unique, high-quality design that could not occur without the use of the PUD option; or
      (5)   Redevelopment of a nonconforming site where creative design can address unique site constraints.
   (C)   There is a finding that the proposed type and density of use shall not result in an unreasonable increase in the need for or burden upon public services, facilities, roads, and utilities.
   (D)   The proposed PUD shall not result in an unreasonable negative environmental impact or loss of a historic structure on the subject site or surrounding land.
   (E)   The proposed PUD shall not result in an unreasonable negative economic impact upon surrounding properties.
   (F)   The proposed use or uses shall be of such location, size, density, and character as to be in harmony with the zoning district in which they are situated and shall not be detrimental to the adjoining zoning districts.
   (G)   The proposed development shall be consistent with the master plan.
   (H)   The proposed PUD shall be harmonious with the public health, safety, and welfare of the village.
   (I)   The proposed PUD is not an attempt by the applicant to circumvent the strict application of zoning standards.
(Ord. 150, passed 10-12-2020)
§ 152.233 DENSITY.
   (A)   Residential uses.
      (1)   All residential uses may be permitted with the following minimum lot sizes per unit, based upon a discretionary 25% density credit from the zoning district in which the property is situated immediately prior to classification under this subchapter. In the event that the property is already zoned PUD, density shall be allowed at the discretion of the Village Planning Commission and Village Council, based on the master plan and surrounding land use densities and character. Land area under water, public road rights-of-way, and private road easements shall not be included in the gross density calculation.

   (B)   The Planning Commission and Village Council may allow a residential PUD in areas having a nonresidential base zoning subject to compliance with the master plan or a determination by the Planning Commission and Village Council that the proposed development meets the general intent of § 152.232, Eligibility Criteria.
   (C)   A planned unit development incorporating nonresidential uses, such as commercial, institutional or a mix of nonresidential and residential uses, may also be allowed subject to compliance with the master plan or a determination by the Planning Commission and Village Council that the proposed development meets the general intent of § 152.232, Eligibility Criteria.
