Goodrich, City Attorney <br /> <br />Interpretation of City's Multiple Residential <br />Zoning District (MR) <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />February 27, 1997 <br /> <br /> Section 9.20.15 of the City Code establishes the MR Multiple <br />Residential Zoning District. Maximum housing density in this <br />district is 15 units per acre if with a "P.U.D." The ques[ion <br />asked is whether or not actual rezoning to a P.U.D. zoning district <br />is required in order to have a 15 unit per acre development. <br /> <br /> In my opinion zoning from MR to PUD is not required by this <br />code language. The MR text does not specifically state zoning to <br />a PUD District is necessary, rather it states only "...with <br />P.U.D." This then may reasonably be interpreted to ]%ot require a <br />PUD zoning district, but rather a requirement to follow the <br />performance standards and intent of 5he City's PUD code section. <br />There would seem to be little sense in requiring a PUD zoning <br />district for this 15 unit per acre use, since it is already a <br />permitted use in the MR distict. In addition, the intent of both <br />zoning districts will be adequately protected by adhering to both <br />the MR performance standards as well as the PUT; intent and <br />performance standards. <br /> <br /> <br />
