Staff Comment: <br />1. Does the Board feel there is public benefit to justify PUD zoning as required per City <br />Code Section 1007.024: <br />(2) The PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this chapter related to <br />setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., may be considered by the city when it <br />would result in one or more of the following public benefits: <br />(a) Implementation of a master plan consistent with the Planning District objectives of the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Staff Comment: A master plan is not required for this area. <br />(b) Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic <br />expansion, greater variety in lot size, configuration, home type, design, enhanced architectural <br />standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in <br />such developments. <br />(c) Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as wildlife habitat, <br />unique natural resources, existing vegetation, natural topography, geologic features and <br />reduction of negative impacts on the environment. <br />(d) Creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and <br />orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. <br />(e) Efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby <br />lowering development costs and public investments. <br />(f) Mix of land use types. <br />(g) Provision of a housing type or target housing price that is desirable to the city. <br />(h) Other public benefits and values as recognized in the city's Comprehensive Plan. <br />Lot and Setback Requirements <br />Per City Code Section 1007.112(1), land that is guided medium density residential may be zoned <br />R-2.
