PUD (Planned Unit Development) Overlay District areas of review (Chapter 911) • The Planned Unit Development Overlay District (PUD) is established as a means to facilitate the development of land in an integrated and innovative fashion, to allow for flexibility in site design, and to result in a better quality of development than would otherwise be possible, while being sensitive to environmental, cultural, and economic considerations. • Adding the Planned Unit Development Overlay District to the zoning of a parcel shall supplement and modify the provisions of the base zoning district with specific requirements and standards that are unique to the planned development. • Placement of Structures More than one principal building may be placed on a platted lot in a Planned Unit Development. The appearance and compatibility of individual buildings to other site elements and to surrounding development shall be given primary consideration in reviewing and approving the placement and spacing of structures. • Bulk Regulations 1. Building Height The City Council may authorize an increase in building height for the purpose of promoting project integration and additional site amenities. 2. Building Setbacks. The City Council may authorize a reduction in or elimination of required yards provided that a landscaped yard of the minimum width established for the base zoning district or greater is maintained along the periphery of the PUD. C. • Lot Requirements. The City Council may authorize reductions in the area and width of individual lots in a Planned Unit Development from that required for the base zoning district, provided that such reductions are compensated for by an equivalent amount of open space elsewhere in the Planned Unit Development. Such open space shall not include areas designated as public or private streets or required storm ponds. • Density Bonus At its discretion, the City Council may authorize a reduction in the minimum lot area per dwelling unit from that required by the base zoning district (a density increase) for the purpose of promoting an integrated project with a variety of housing types and additional site amenities, to enhance and/or preserve important environmental features through careful and sensitive placement of buildings and facilities, or to achieve other objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Compliance: • The property is zoned C-1, General Commercial and is requested to be rezoned to R-3, High Density Residential in compliance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (36 units/acre). • The proposal is requesting 106 units for 2.63 acres for 40.3 units/acre. It is requested to utilize a PUD overlay to achieve the increase in density from 36 units/acre that is allowed in the R-3 to 40.3 units/acre as well as adjustments in the placement of the driveway. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: • The parcel is guided High Density Residential that allows for multi-family housing and senior housing. • The proposed development complies with the Comprehensive Plan for land use. Development Review Committee: • This proposal has been reviewed by the Development Committee that consists of the Community Development Director, City Administrator, Public Works Director, City Engineer, and Building Official.
