A procedure is hereby established for the designation of CD Districts, in order to facilitate planned and controlled development in accordance with the Village Comprehensive Plan, as described in § 310-45 and to provide a basis for possible development on a scale and with a flexibility that could not otherwise be achieved in the Village's present zoning districts.
In addition to the purposes and legislative intent set forth in § 310-2 and Subsection A(2) of § 310-44 of this chapter, the districts established pursuant to this article shall have among their purposes the following:
A. 
To recognize that some developments may, by virtue of their scale, size, complexity and unique building sites, require specialized consideration and treatment by Village authorities and may not be adequately addressed by district regulations as set forth in Article III;
B. 
To provide for the establishment of separate and distinct substantive standards for planned and controlled developments of varying sizes or to recognize and encourage the advantages which may accrue from the complexities of particular and/or unique parcel size, location within the Village, juxtaposition with adjacent land uses and community facilities and functions and to take into account the increasing need for flexibility in types of uses, building types, location and design and development timing required in such developments and the increasing need to plan and control such complex developments so as to minimize or to compensate for, their effect on surrounding uses and public services;
C. 
To provide combinations of permitted uses and variations in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces, density and heights of structures in developments conceived as cohesive and unified projects; and
D. 
To provide a controlled review and zoning procedure and to encourage good development while assuring that such development shall further the purposes of this chapter and the Village Comprehensive Plan.
A. 
Permitted uses. All uses within a CD District shall be determined by the Board of Trustees according to the provisions of this article, provided that permitted uses may include only those uses permitted in Residence C, Residence D, Business A or Business B districts, irrespective of the location of the CD District.
B. 
Location. A CD District may be located only west of the Metro North Railroad right-of-way which is zoned, at the time the application, as Residence C, Residence D, Business A, Business B or Residence B.
C. 
Area. The minimum area required to qualify for a CD District shall be two contiguous acres.
D. 
Ownership. Application for a CD District relating to a particular parcel or parcels of land shall be made by or on behalf of all owners of such parcel(s).
In considering a CD District application, in addition to the purposes set forth in § 310-17, the Planning Board and the Board of Trustees shall give consideration to the standards set forth in § 310-30.
The Board of Trustees shall be the Village authority responsible for designating a CD District.
