5 <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R, Rural. The R, Rural zoning is a holding district until municipal <br />water and sanitary sewer are available to the site and the property owner is interested in <br />having the property developed. The property would need to be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit <br />Development in order to allow zoning flexibility and create a mixed used development. <br /> <br />Shoreland District <br /> <br />The subject property is located within the Shoreland Management Overlay District of both <br />Wilkinson Lake and Amelia Lake. They are both classified as Natural Environment lakes. City <br />Code Section 1102.13 details additional Shoreland Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />requirements. These are detailed below and throughout this staff report. <br /> <br />Open space requirements: At least 50% of the total project area must be preserved as open <br />space. Per Sheet 14, Land Use Plan-Legend, there are approximately 59 acres of open space in <br />the 75-acre development which equals 77% open space. <br /> <br />PUD Land Use and Conventional Zoning District & Shoreland Guidelines <br /> <br />City Code Section 1007.024 details the PUD, Planned Unit Development requirements. City <br />Code Section 1102.13 details additional Shoreland Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />requirements. The purpose of the PUD is to provide a zoning district that grants flexibility from <br />certain conventional zoning regulations in order to achieve public benefits that may not <br />otherwise be obtained under standard zoning regulations. These public benefits are detailed in <br />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 zoning <br />district standards. These conventional zoning district standards serve as guidelines but may be <br />departed from to accomplish public value purposes. The proposed conventional zoning districts <br />used for this project are R-4, High Density Residential for the townhomes and apartments and <br />GB, General Business for the commercial. <br /> <br />A summary of PUD public benefit vs PUD flexibility is provided at the end of this staff report. <br /> <br />Commercial <br /> <br />City Code Section 1007.024(4) details the PUD Land Use and correlating conventional zoning <br />district Development Standards. The development proposes to use the GB, General Business <br />zoning district as guidelines. <br /> <br />Lot size and setbacks appear to meet requirements. PUD flexibility is not required for the <br />commercial development. <br />
