Background: Saint Andrews Investment Group, LLC is proposing to develop approximately 10 acres within West Ramsey Industrial Park located west of Alpine Drive and south of the BNSF Railroad right - of -way on the western border of Ramsey. The applicant is seeking a rezoning to planned-unit- development (PUD) to accommodate 15 lots on 8 acres. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site Location Map b) Site Plan c) Proposed Findings of Fact d) Proposed Ordinance Notification: According to City Code, property owners located within 700 feet were notified of the proposed rezoning at the Planning Commission meeting on October 5, 2006. Observations: REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM E -1 EMPLOYMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD): CASE OF SAINT ANDREW'S INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC CASE # The total development area to be rezoned is approximately 11 acres, and includes Outlot A and Lot 2, Block 1 of West Ramsey Industrial Park. The applicant wishes to develop 15 buildings on Outlot A, which is 8.44 acres. The minimum lot size in the E -1 Employment District is 1 acre, and the site plan proposes 15 lots, approximately 8,000 square feet each. These 15 lots would be further subdivided as Common Interest Community plats (CIC), resulting in up to 45 lots on the 8.44 acre piece. A PUD is needed because City Code does not provide standards for lots being developed as common - interest - communities. In past plats, the City has utilized the PUD to accommodate multiple buildings within a single development, platted as a CIC. The remainder of the development area (Lot 2, Block 1) will be utilized for the community septic system and well and will be encumbered with drainage and utility easements. Outlot B will become right -of -way. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the zoning amendment to Planned Unit Development, contingent upon Northfork Office Condos receiving final plat approval.
