• Oakwood View page 5 commercial/industrial uses must utilize the PUD zoning district as described in Sec. 9 Subd. 3 of this ordinance. The PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this Ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., by conditional use peiniit or a mixture of uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to encourage: 1. A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. 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. 3. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. 4. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. 5. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. 6. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. Lots: The minimum lot size in the R -1X zone is 12,825 sf of upland. As listed above, all lots meet this minimum. However, as explained under "grading and stormwater management" below, the easements must be enlarged and may reduce the buildable lot area. Lots 2 and 3 will have to be adjusted. The minimum lot width in the R -1X zone is 90 feet. Lot width is measured at the setback line. Lots 5 and 8 are only 85' wide. These must be adjusted to meet the minimum 90' requirement. The PUD is intended for the southern portion of the site. The northern portion is to retain its current R -1X zoning. Parks: The subdivision ordinance includes park dedication requirements. Park dedication is $1665 per residential unit, less any land dedication. There is no land dedication needed.
