The City Planner reported that the Council has indicated that it would prefer Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning for the St. Paul Water Department property. Therefore, the rezoning of this site is back before the Commission for consideration. At the September meeting of the Commission a rezoning to Industrial -Park (I -P) was considered. The Planner explained that I -P zoning allows industrial use as well as some manufacturing uses with a campus -type setting. Uses allowed under PUD zoning are controlled by the Comprehensive Plan's land use plan. The City has more control with a PUD zone since uses in that district must be approved by the Council. Frank Frattalone, potential purchaser of the Spruce Street site, reported that his first choice was the I -P zoning. However, the Council preferred PUD given there was no user for the property determined at this point. Therefore, Frattalone withdrew his application for I -P rezoning and reapplied for PUD. Page 27
