A portion of the plan anticipates that a <br />mixed -use commercial and housing land use plan will be sought, with an emphasis on <br />senior housing in the area. <br />Concern has been raised thatthere may be an inadequate tie between the control allowed <br />under the PUD Zoning District and the concepts proposed by the Development Guide. <br />Specifically, whereas the Guide discusses multiple family housing for seniors as a <br />component of the district, proposals have surfaced which wouid propose family housing, <br />such as generai market apartments. <br />To ensure that the objectives of the Development Guide are carried out, staff is <br />considering possible amendments to both the Development Guide chapter of the <br />Comprehensive Plan, and to the Zoning Ordinance which establishes the PUD Zoning on <br />this area. There should be adequate information in the background materials to the <br />Development Guide to support more detailed housing recommendations. Staff will be <br />bringing specific amendments to the Planning Commission at its upcoming May 11 <br />meeting, and would request that the Council call for a public hearing for its second regular <br />meeting in May. <br />cc: Kathy Glanzer <br />5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SUITE 555 ST.
