(a) District regulations applicable to a land use in the PUD may be altered from the requirements set forth in the Zoning Code, including but not limited to, lot width, building setbacks, height, lot coverage, signs, and parking. The PUD applicant shall identify, in the Preliminary and Final Development Plans, all intended and needed deviations from the zoning requirements. Modifications may be approved by the Village Council during the preliminary plan review stage, after Planning Commission approval and recommendation. These modifications will be permitted only if they result in a higher quality and more sustainable development consistent with the purpose of this Chapter.
(b) In addition to these modifications of minimum requirements, Village Council, after Planning Commission approval and recommendation, may permit an increase in the total number of residential units allowed with the PUD where it is demonstrated the PUD:
(1) Uses low-impact design and or best practices design principles to minimize storm water run-off;
(2) Preserves the best natural features of the site;
(3) Creates, improves, or maintains open space for the residents, employees, and other visitors to the PUD; and
(4) Contains at least 20% of the area as preserved open space. If the site contains, or is adjacent to a river, stream, or other body of water, the Village may require that all, or a portion of, the open space abut the river, stream, or body of water. (Ord. 12-2015. Passed 4-27-15.)
