-192- Recommendation: As discussed above, the draft Mississippi River Overlay District code and the Comprehensive Plan require new development in the River Corridor to be processed as a PUD. Staff also recommended approval of the PUD request because all other lot standards and setback requirements are being met, and because the proposed twinhomes will have less bulk and a lower profile than the townhome buildings previously proposed for the site. The Planning Commission reviewed the rezoning request at their September 7, 2006 meeting and recommended denial of the rezoning request, because of a lack of compelling reason to allow a different use than is provided with the current B -2 zoning. Because the Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning request, the findings of fact were drafted to support denial. If the Council is inclined to recommend approval of the request, Councilmembers may wish to review the negative findings in #13 and #18. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #06 -10 - adopting Findings of Fact #06 -10 - to approve the request to rezone the subject property from B -2 Business to Planned Unit Development. -and- Motion to introduce Ordinance #06 - rezoning the property from B -2 Business to Planned Unit Development, contingent upon approval of the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, preliminary plat approval, and preliminary site plan approval, based on the Findings of Fact. -OR- Motion to deny the request for rezoning, based on findings of fact.
