The PUD standards require that the maximum allowable density within an urban residential PUD shall be consistent with the density directives of the Comprehensive Plan. That is, whatever the density is for that land use category. The Mixed Use category does not specify a density range for residential development. In order to provide some frame of reference it may be useful to recall the ranges for the categories of Medium Density Residential (3 -6 u/a), High Density Residential (6 -12 u/a) and the Town Center (10 -24 u/a). Zoning: The site is in a General Business zoning district, but the proposal is to rezone it to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Many of the development requirements in a PUD are created with the project, and the Zoning Ordinance establishes some PUD specifics as well. For comparison purposes, it may be useful to compare the proposal with the R -3, R -4, and GB zoning district standards. Remember that this table is for comparison only. Community Survey: In the discussion of this proposed project, there has been some talk of the Quality of Life Survey conducted for the City in 2005. Three questions are particularly relevant. One question asked if the respondent would favor or oppose attracting neighborhood commercial centers, 16% strongly favored this, 44% favored it. Neighborhood commercial center was defined as a small outdoor mall usually containing a limited number of shops, professional offices, and /or service establishments. Another question asked if the City were to attract more development, what kind would you prefer it to be? Of the responses, 18% wanted retail and service establishments, 11% said restaurants, 2% said grocery store.
