The first step in the PUD process is the general concept stage. At this stage, the applicant is required to submit general information in written and graphic form to familiarize the Planning Commission with the existing situation and to provide insight regarding the applicant's intention regarding development of the site in question. The next step is the development stage. This stage requires the applicant to provide a more specific and detailed plan for development. The Planning Commission will make its recommendation to the City Council based on this plan. The final step in the PUD process is the final plan. This plan is intended only to add detail to, and finalize the development stage plan. The final plan is to serve as a complete, thorough and permanent public record of the PUD and the manner in which it is to be developed. PUD DESIGNATION: The subject site contains several legally existing non - conformities, that are listed below. The City Zoning Ordinance prohibits expansion of non - conforming uses and structures. The only way expansion can occur at this site is by PUD. In a PUD, the City can allow variations from the strict interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance, thereby allowing the applicant greater development flexibility. The trade -off is that the City can demand higher standards from the applicant is regard to site design; area improvements; and amenities. By granting this PUD, the City will be giving some concessions to the developer but also receiving improvements in the Woodlyn Avenue area that has long been targeted for public and private improvements. The following conditions necessitate a PUD designation: Non - conforming Use - The R & S operation includes both auto repair and auto salvage. In November 1984, the City Council passed Ordinance Number 243, which deleted auto salvage as an allowed use. Since this date, R & S Auto Salvage has been a legal non - conforming use; "grandfathered" in. Also, the property in question has two existing principal buildings and uses. This is prohibited by the City Zoning Ordinance. Non - Conforming Buildings - The Meyer Enterprises building is non- conforming because it does not meet "I -1" district front or side yard setback requirements. Page 29
