(A) Intent and purpose. The purpose of the P-B District is to provide for a setting whereby multiple use, contemporary business park development can occur. The district may be established only in those instances where the compatibility of a wide variety of architect- ural design standards, landscape design standards, and restrictive covenants which have been previously adopted by the Village Board, have been found to exist at the time of any request to amend a current zoning parcel to the P-B District. Only parcels that are a minimum of 40 acres in size and under single ownership or unified control at the time of application shall be considered for amendment to the P-B District. The Village Board shall determine that adequacy of any proposed amendment to the P-B District. Because developments within the P-B District, like planned unit developments, are expected to incorporate multiple uses and a variety of design standards in a contemporary business park setting, which uses may have unique or unusual impacts on the use and enjoyment of property in the Village, the Village Board may authorize departures and exceptions from strict conformance with the dimension, area, height, bulk and other regulations and limitations of the P-B District, of the other provisions of this chapter and of the other codes and ordinances of the village, provided the same are specified in an annexation agreement, in an ordinance that provides for the zoning of property in the P-B District or in an ordinance or resolution that approves a conceptual, preliminary or final site plan for a use that is to be constructed in the district.
