(a) The intent of the PUD regulations is to provide a means for applying comprehensive and flexible planning and design techniques on properties substantially sized to accommodate such a plan. As such, the minimum size of any PUD project or plan shall be five acres. PUD proposals should not be applied to small areas as a means of bypassing traditional district regulations.
(b) A PUD of less than five acres may be considered for high-intensity areas as defined by adopted plans. Planning Commission and Village Council must approve such a reduction in size.
(c) Any PUD approved and constructed prior to the effective date of this amendment shall carry forward with the approved plans. All future construction or changes in previously approved PUDs shall comply with the applicable approved plan unless a modification is required, in which case, the modification shall be reviewed in accordance with this chapter.
(d) In order to submit an application for PUD review, the tract or tracts of land included within the proposed PUD shall be in one ownership or control or shall be subject to a joint application by the owners of all properties included within the proposal.
(e) A PUD shall be considered an overlay district in that any approval of a PUD shall result in the placement of the PUD boundaries on the zoning map while retaining the underlying base zoning district (R, C-2, I-1, etc.). The underlying base zoning district shall control what uses are permitted in the PUD (See Section 1107.05.). A PUD overlay district may only be applied to areas that have an existing zoning of R, C-2, C-3, C-4, or I-1).
