Home

The PUD ordinance requires that the development have either 20% public open space and/or 50% private and open space. Staff is requesting that the development have at least 50% private open and green space. It appears that this requirement can be met. However; the Applicant will be required to provide [mal calculations as well as provide an exhibit and declaration in recordable form declaring the terms of the easement. Also, as part of the PUD process, the applicant is requjred to submit a preliminary site plan and architectural. elevations. A Site Plan Application has been submitted and will be reviewed as part of this process. In general, the site plan is dependent on what is allowed as part of the PUD and what is shown on the plat. The Planning Commission may recall the City began the process of subdividing the property as part of an executed Purchase Agreement. . Information from the Site Plan Review for Comforts of Home, scheduled also for the June 4th Planning Commission, is hereby incorporated asreference. Recommendation: Since the PUD. gives the City a unique opportunity to provide permanent protection of sensitive natural resources while redu,?ing the amount of impervious surface required for a parking lot, StaffrecoInmerids approval of the request. Based on the occupancy of the facility, it appears that the ~arking. demand will be less than a typical, high-denSity residential development. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Resolution #09-06-_ to approve the request for a Zoning Amendment from R-3 Residential to Planned Unit Development (PUD).
