2 <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R, Rural and requires rezoning to PUD-Planned Unit <br />Development. The PUD provides the flexibility from the strict standards of the R-2 Two <br />Family Residential District as detailed in Resolution No. 14-21. Unless otherwise stated in the <br />PUD resolution, the regulations and performance standards of the zoning ordinance and R-2 <br />Two Family Residential District will be in effect. <br /> <br />The PUD flexibilities are provided to allow for a variety of detached single family housing <br />products that are in current market demand vs. standard townhome medium density <br />development. The PUD flexibility also compliments walkable neighborhoods, protects the <br />greenway corridor and reduces the development footprint and impervious surface area. <br /> <br />The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the purpose and intent of <br />the PUD by encouraging: <br />• Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic <br />expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of <br />structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such <br />developments. <br /> <br />• The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing <br />vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. <br /> <br />• An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby <br />lowering development costs and public investments. <br /> <br />Density Calculations <br /> <br />Gross Area (acres) 94.09 <br />Wetland 9.56 <br />Conservation Easements 0.68* <br />Arterial ROW 0.26 <br />Park Dedication 5.04 <br />Net Area (acres) 78.55 <br /># of Units 316 <br />Gross Density (units/acre) 3.36 <br />Net Density (units/acre) 4.02 <br />*Acreage may change pending final Rice Creek Watershed District approval
