District to allow for a variety of detached single family and twin home housing products that are in current market demand vs. standard townhome medium density development. The PUD flexibility also compliments walkable neighborhoods, protects greenway corridors and reduces the development footprint and impervious surface area. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the purpose and intent of the PUD by encouraging: • Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. • The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. • An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments.
