amount of design flexibility through the Master Planning process, rather than assuming lot -by -lot development with specific setbacks and lot standards (as is the case in the B -1 and B -2 zoning • districts). The district contains performance standards to guide the creation of the Master Plan. Mr. Trudgeon advised the B -3 District follows the review process outlined in the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District. Once the City has approved a Master Plan that meets the performance standards in the B -3 District, any significant changes to the Master Plan require the developer to process a revised Preliminary Site Plan for the entire site. A final site plan would be processed for each phase of the project as they are constructed, ensuring compliance with the Master Plan. Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated the changes Staff is proposing would clarify that proposed developments would need to follow the entire PUD review process, including a preliminary and final site plan. Staff is also recommending a change to Subd. 6 b -3: Building Orientation, to explicitly allow more than one ' building per lot. This type of development was anticipated when the B -3 District was originally drafted, but Staff feels it is important to state this explicitly within the B -3 District to avoid conflicts with other sections of City Code. Mr. Trudgeon advised staff would also note that no parcels have been rezoned to B -3 Business to date; this action is expected to coincide with preliminary plat review of Ramsey Crossings. Staff is recommending adoption of the proposed changes. Citizen Input There was none. • Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Trites Rolle, to close the public hearing. Motion Carried.
