The R, Rural zoning is a holding district until <br />municipal water and sanitary sewer are available to the site and the property owner is <br />interested in having the property developed. The property would need to be rezoned to <br />PUD, Planned Unit Development in order to allow flexibility for lot widths and lot sizes <br />and create a mixed used development. <br /> <br />PUD Land Use and Conventional Zoning District Guidelines <br /> <br />City Code Section 1007.024 details the PUD, Planned Unit Development requirements. <br />The purpose of the PUD is to provide a zoning district that grants flexibility from certain <br />conventional zoning regulations in order to achieve public benefits that may not <br />otherwise be obtained under standard zoning regulations. These public benefits are <br />detailed in City Code Section 1007.024(2) and discussed later in this report. <br /> <br />City Code Section 1007.024(4) details the PUD Land Use and correlating conventional <br />zoning district standards. These conventional zoning district standards serve as <br />guidelines but may be departed from to accomplish public value purposes. <br /> <br />A summary of PUD public benefit vs PUD flexibility is provided at the end of this staff <br />report. <br /> <br />Staff Comments: <br /> <br />1. The applicant may need to provide additional public benefit in order to be <br />considered for PUD zoning. Examples could be more open space, enhanced <br />greenway corridor, wetland restoration, additional wetland buffers, higher <br />architectural & building standards etc.
