The purpose of the Planned Development District is to provide a regulatory framework to encourage improved environmental design by allowing flexibility in the development of land while ensuring compliance with the basic intent of this section and with the Village land use plan. Developers can propose uses or combination of uses and configurations of intensity and density of development. Through a process of Plan Commission review, public hearing and Village Board review and approval, accompanied by discussions with developers and, as appropriate, with other interested parties, an agreement is reached between the property owner and the Village of Clyman. The details of this agreement constitute the zoning controls of the property. These controls have the same legal force and effect as do standard zoning requirements.
The Village Board may, by resolution, authorize the Zoning Administrator to issue a PDD after review, public hearing, and advisory recommendation from the Plan Commission, provided the Planned Development District is found to be in accordance with the purpose and intent of this section and is further found not to be hazardous, harmful, offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment or the value of the neighborhood or the community. In the instance of the granting of the Planned Development District, the Village Board in its findings shall further specify the delimiting reasons or factors which resulted in approving the PDD. Prior to granting a Planned Development District, the Commission shall make findings based upon the evidence presented that the Planned Development District described are being complied with.
Prior to filing an application for approval of a preliminary Planned Development District, the developer shall consult with the Plan Commission for advice and assistance for the purpose of determining land suitability and reviewing the procedures and requirements of this section and other ordinances, and any plans or data which may affect the proposed development.
All applications hereunder shall use the environmental assessment checklist, available from the Village Clerk-Treasurer, whether or not a land division is proposed with the application.
Purpose. The purpose of the environmental assessment checklist is to provide the basis for an orderly, systematic review of the effects of all planned development upon the land, community, and environment in accordance with sound principles of land development. The procedures for this process, as well as the reasons for such review, are referenced in Subsection L.
Coverage. The environmental checklist shall apply to all reviewable Planned Development Districts.

No use is permitted as a matter of right in the PDD District except as may be provided in an approved final development plan.
Basic allowable density. Unless an increase in density is allowed by the Village Board, the number of dwelling units shall not exceed the number that would be allowed on the gross acreage of the PDD, if dwelling units of same type where built at the minimum lot sizes specified by the zoning district.

The Village Board may require that significant landscape features and historical sites be preserved as part of the common or public open space of the project.
Excessive site clearing of topsoil, trees and natural features before the commencement of construction operations shall be discouraged. The Village Board may require the applicant to submit a grading plan detaining proposed excavation, earthmoving procedures, and other changes to the landscape, in order to ensure preservation of the character of the area to be retained in open space.
Sites for residential and nonresidential buildings shall be discouraged in areas of natural hazards, such as floodplains, areas subject to landslides, areas with average slopes greater than 20 and areas with unstable soil formations. The Village discourages placement of new buildings on hydric soils and on slopes between 12% and 20% where other more appropriate sites are available.
The Village Board shall require that all floodplains be preserved as permanent common or public open space, and may require that other natural hazard areas be included in the common or public open space of the proposed development and be left unimproved or improved to assure minimization of the hazard.
The Village Board shall require natural resource features to be depicted on all site plans, preliminary plats and certified survey maps, including wetlands, steep slopes, floodplains, drainageways, wooded areas, and mature trees. Once identified, it shall establish maximum clearance or removal standards for these features and require on-site mitigation where those standards cannot be met. All manufactured slopes shall be planted or otherwise protected from the effects of storm runoff erosion, and shall be of a character to cause the slope to bend with the surrounding terrain and development. The applicant shall provide maintenance of the planting until growth is established.
The Village Board shall utilize subdivision, zoning, and official mapping authority to protect environmental corridors within the Village limits and extraterritorial areas.
The Village Board shall emphasize use of natural drainage patterns, construction site erosion control, and ongoing stormwater management measures that minimize pollution and control the quality, quantity and temperature of water leaving any site.
Emergency access. The configuration of buildings, driveways, and other improvements shall allow convenient and direct emergency vehicle access.
The general development plan shall minimize adverse impacts of proposed uses and structures in the PDD and existing and anticipated uses and structures in the adjacent area.
If topographical or other barriers do not provide reasonable privacy for existing uses adjacent to the development, the Village Board shall require one or more of the following:
A special setback, or setbacks, of residential and nonresidential structures shall be located on the perimeter.
Residential and nonresidential structures located on the perimeter of the development shall be screened by fencing, landscaping, or other natural or man-made materials. Such amenities shall be shown on the general development plan and approved by the Zoning Administrator, Plan Commission or Village Board.
