CASE # INTRODUCE ORDINANCE TO REZONE CERTAIN PROPERTY ' FROM R-2 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO PUD; CASE OF BRIGHTKEYS, INC. By: Amy Geisler, Associate Planner Background: Brightkeys, Inc. has requested that the City consider rezoning a portion of their property from R-2 Medium Density Residential to Planned Unit Development (PUD) in order to allow for a combination of single-family lots and townhomes and lot standard deviations, as a part of Town Center Gardens 3rd Addition. The fi~llowing items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Preliminary Plat of Town Center Gardens 3rd Addition c) Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated March 3, 2005 d) Proposed Findings of Fact e) Proposed Ordinance Notification: State statute requires that property owners within 350 feet of the subject property be notified of the public hearing. Notice was sent out to property owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property. Observations: During sketch plan review of Town Center Gardens 3rd Addition, the Planning Commission and City Council directed the developer to allow for a combination of townhouse and smalMot single-family lots in the northeastern portion of the plat. The primary reason for this was to provide some buffering between the townhouse units and the existing single-family lots north of 149th Avenue. This portion of the plat needs to be rezoned to PUD to allow for this combination of single- family lots and townhouse units. The rezoning to PUD would also allow for deviations from setback and lot standards. There are several townhouse units in the northern part of the plat that do not meet setback requirements from public or private streets, though these units all have 25- lbot driveways. The single-family lots in this portion of the plat are also smaller than what is required in the R-I district, both in terms of lot area and lot width. All of these deviations are permissible with the PUD zoning. 5
