A. The purpose of the planned unit development provisions which follow is to promote efficient land patterns which provide site amenities; secure large parcels of permanent open space, characteristic of Sugar Grove's existing semirural environment; and preserve trees, wetlands and other natural resources.
B. These provisions are intended to encourage and accommodate more creative and imaginative design for land development than would otherwise be possible under the strict application of Sugar Grove's conventional zoning and subdivision ordinance provisions.
C. Implementation of this chapter will result in efficient land patterns and, therefore, more economical land development, that:
1. Fosters high quality development by allowing flexibility in land use and design standards, thereby encouraging innovative site planning;
2. Promotes more efficient land patterns, which not only preserve open space and natural resources, but also provide for more economical networks of utilities, streets and other facilities;
3. Promotes diverse, high quality, residential environments, which include a mixture of dwelling unit types;
4. Promotes a land use pattern with a mixture of residential and nonresidential uses that will mutually support each other;
5. Provides for the permanent preservation of open space for the continued use and enjoyment of residents of each subdivision and the Village;
6. Provides usable and suitably located public and private recreational facilities;
7. Encourages developers to provide amenities that enhance the quality of life, both within the planned unit development, as well as within the community as a whole;
8. Encourages a land use pattern which promotes the public health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare;
9. Allows more than one building per zoning lot, when determined to be of benefit to the residents of a proposed subdivision; and (Ord. 2002-01-15B, 1-15-2002)
10. Allows the creation of a mixed use residential, commercial, or industrial planned unit development, pursuant to criteria set forth in this chapter. (Ord. 2014-08-05B, 8-5-2014)
A. Planned unit developments are of such substantially different character from conventional subdivisions or development on individual zoning lots and, therefore, require administrative processing as special uses, under the provisions of section 11-13-12 of this title.
B. Because planned unit developments are complex and of a different character than other special uses, the Village has established more specific procedures and standards, and criteria for exceptions from regulations of the underlying zoning district than those included in chapter 13 of this title. Procedures, standards and criteria for exceptions which follow are intended to guide the recommendations of the Planning Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals and Village Board during their review of preliminary and final plans. (Ord. 2002-01-15B, 1-15-2002; amd. Ord. 2018-03-20C, 3-20-2018)
Planned unit developments may include uses and structures not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning district, provided landscape screening is provided between dissimilar land uses, and the petitioner shows the planned unit development: accomplishes the standards set forth in this chapter; achieves the planning goals and objectives of the Village, as defined in this chapter and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan; and is compatible with adjacent land uses.
A. Residential Planned Unit Developments:
1.

Where provided, nonresidential uses in a residential planned unit development shall:
