(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.
