• • In August 2013, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed a Concept Plan for this development. The concept plan contained 5 parcels totaling approximately 75 gross acres and consisted of a residential density mix of single family lots, townhomes and an age restricted multi - family residence. The Land Use Application is for the following: • Rezone property from R, Rural to PUD- Planned Unit Development. • PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for NorthPointe. The following staff report is based on the Plan Set prepared by Carlson McCain dated November 8, 2013 and received by the City on November 12, 2013. ANALYSIS Rezoning The property is currently zoned R, Rural and requires rezoning to PUD - Planned Unit Development. The PUD provides the following flexibility from the strict standards of the R -2 Two Family Residential District: • Lot size variations from 5,502 s.f. to 21,923 s.f. (Minimum lot size for R -2, Two Family Residential District is 7,500 s.f.). • Reduced right of way for some streets from 60 feet to 50 feet. • Reduced street width for some streets from 32 feet to 28 feet. • Reduced corner lot "side" setback from 25 feet to 20 feet for lots that abut back to back but not abutting an interior lot. • Five (5) foot side yard setbacks for 50 foot wide lots. • Allowance for variation in garage building design standards of the R -2 District. See Building Design Standards below. • Mixed residential density development of single family and multi - family These PUD flexibilities are provided to allow for a variety of detached single family housing products that are in current market demand vs. standard townhome medium density development. The PUD flexibility also compliments walkable neighborhoods, protects the greenway corridor and reduces the development footprint and impervious surface area. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the purpose and intent of the PUD by encouraging: • 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.
