The Planning <br />Commission also recommended approval of your request 'to rezone the remainder of the 3rd <br />Addition to PUD on March 3, 2005. The City Council will be considering both rezoning requests <br />along with the preliminary plat and site plan. <br /> <br />Density: The entire Town Center Gardens site is approximately 51 acres, including the wetland. <br />Density is calculated separately for the portion of the plat that is guided for Medium-Density <br />Residential (PUD) and the portion that is guided for Mixed Use (TC4a).
