minimum standards of the underlying district or districts shall be met in any
event.

(b) Height and Area. Specific lot size, density, open space, building location,
height, size, floor area, yard, parking and other such requirements shall be
based upon determinations as to their appropriateness to the uses or
structures as they relate to the total environmental concept of the planned
development and consistent with the criteria in this chapter and with
generally accepted basic standards necessary to protect the public health,
safety and welfare.

(c) Parking. Off street parking facilities shall be provided in accordance with
the applicable regulations in Section 17.15(3).

(d) Design Standards. Engineering and subdivision design standards relative to
street type, location and width, sidewalks, street lighting, storm drainage,
lot arrangement or other elements of site design shall be based upon
determinations as to the appropriate standards necessary to effectively
implement the specific function in the specific situation, as it relates to the
total plan concept; and consistent with the need for compatibility with
existing patterns in areas peripheral to the development. In no case shall
minimal construction standards be less than those reasonably required to
protect the public health, safety and welfare, taking into account both short-
term and long-term considerations for the public and the Village. To this
intent, the specific provisions of the Village Subdivision Code, Ch. 18 of
this Municipal Code, may be waived where deemed appropriate in the case
of a planned development. Notwithstanding the above, however, all streets
shall be built to public road standards, including minimum construction
standards and right-of-way widths.

(e) Intensity and Character of Land Use. In a planned development, the
suitability of the type and character of uses proposed and their intensity and
arrangement on the site shall be based upon the following standards:

1. Compatibility to the physical nature of the site, with particular
concern for conservation of natural features such as tree growth,
streams, wetlands, geological features, natural resources, etc.; for
suitability of soils for the uses proposed for preservation of open
space, for careful shaping of terrain to minimize scarring and insure
suitable drainage and for preservation of natural terrain wherever
appropriate.
