(C) Review process.
(1) Review for completeness. The Zoning Administrator shall review the preliminary PUD plan application submittal and determine if all the necessary information has been provided. A complete application must be submitted to the Zoning Administrator at least 15 business days prior to the Planning Commission meeting at which the proposal will first be considered.

(3) Public hearing and Planning Commission action. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the Village Council to deny or approve, with or without conditions, the preliminary PUD plan. If no decision or recommendation is made at the advertised hearing, disposition of the case must be set to a date certain at that time, and this date must be clearly stated in the meeting minutes. If no certain date is set and duly noted in the public record, notice of the next meeting at which the case will be considered shall be provided. The Planning Commission shall make a decision or recommendation upon each case within 60 days of the public hearing, unless additional time is granted by the applicant.
(4) Village Council action. A summary of the Planning Commission recommendation and comments submitted at the public hearing shall be transmitted with the preliminary PUD application submittal and the Village Planner's report to the Village Council. The Village Council may hold additional public hearings if it considers it necessary. The Village Council shall make a decision upon each case within 60 days of the Planning Commission's recommendation or refer the proposal back to the Planning Commission for further consideration, unless additional time is granted by the applicant. The Village Council shall take one of the following actions:
(a) Approval. Upon finding that the preliminary PUD plan meets the criteria and standards set forth in § 152.230 et seq., the Village Council shall grant preliminary PUD approval. Approval shall constitute approval of the uses and design concept as shown on the preliminary PUD plan and shall confer upon the applicant the right to proceed through the subsequent PUD plan review phases.
(b) Approval with changes or conditions. The Village Council may recommend conditional approval subject to modifications as performed by the applicant as long as the PUD plan meets the criteria established in § 152.234.
(c) Denial. Upon finding that the preliminary PUD plan does not and cannot meet the criteria and standards set forth in § 152.234, the Village Council shall deny preliminary approval.
(5) Effective period of approval. The PUD plan approval shall remain valid for a period of two years. If a final plan is not submitted during that time frame, the PUD request becomes void. If a final plan is submitted during that time frame and is approved, the rezoning to PUD shall remain in effect until such time as the owner of the property involved requests a change to the zoning. The Village Council may approve extensions to the PUD rezoning of up to one year.
(6) Submittal of final PUD plan to the Planning Commission. If the preliminary PUD plan is approved by the Village Council, the applicant shall submit a final PUD plan for final PUD review and recommendation by the Planning Commission in accordance with § 152.391, Final Site Plan Application. This must be done during the validity period for the rezoning to a PUD as set forth in division (5) above. The Planning Commission shall recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the project. If no action is taken because more information is required from the applicant, the Planning Commission shall table the agenda item to a date certain, which shall be specified in the meeting minutes. The applicant shall submit a revised plan to the Planning Commission addressing its concerns.

(b) Tabling. Upon finding that the final plan does not meet the criteria and standards set forth in § 152.234 but could meet such criteria if revised, the Village Council may table action until a revised final plan is resubmitted.
(c) Denial. Upon finding that the final plan does not and cannot meet the criteria and standards set forth in § 152.234, the Village Council shall deny final approval.
(8) All actions on the preliminary PUD plan or final PUD plan by the Planning Commission and the Village Council shall state the reasons for approval, conditional approval, postponement or denial within the body of the motion. Approval of the final PUD by the Village Council shall constitute amendment of the official zoning map. The applicant shall then be authorized to proceed with any necessary permits, such as final platting or construction submittals.
