It is the purpose of this chapter to recognize and accommodate in a unified development, creative and imaginative planned residential development and to permit those innovations in the technology of land development that are in the best interests of the Village. In order to accomplish this purpose, it is the intention in establishing these conditions:
(a) To permit, in a planned unit development, a variety of dwelling types including single-family and multifamily dwellings of the garden apartment, townhouse and high-rise types, and at a maximum density compatible with the purpose of the district within which the planned residential development is proposed;
(b) To permit the flexible spacing of lots and buildings in order to encourage:
(1) The separation of pedestrian and vehicular circulation;
(2) The conservation of the natural amenities of the landscape
(3) The provision of readily accessible recreation areas and green spaces;
(4) The creation of functional and interesting residential areas; and
(5) The provision of a necessary complement of community facilities such as central sanitary sewer and central water supply systems;
(c) To permit suitable associated commercial development consistent with the demand created by the planned unit development and compatible with the existing and proposed uses of lands adjacent to the planned unit development. The district density regulations of that district in which eighty percent (80%) of the land lies shall apply to the entire planned unit development. If no district contains at least eighty percent (80%) of the project, the density regulations of any district covering part of a planned unit development shall apply to that part.
