General Concept Plan, Planned Unit Development 1114 s 4 S <br />Hardwood Creek LLC <br />014 rit.,4 <br />.4/5 for Resolution No. 05 -153 vets t 0.4 <br />•no formal vote needed for concept plan '"t `t - <br />CrG GO } p <br />We have received an application from Village of Hardwood Creek, LLC, to amend the <br />comprehensive plan. The application also includes a general concept plan for a planned <br />unit development. A comprehensive plan amendment requires a formal vote. The <br />concept plan review is informal and does not require a vote. <br />However, much of the discussion has focused on the parameters of the concept plan. <br />Because of that, this report has been revised to address the site design issues first. The <br />discussion of the comprehensive plan amendment follows that. It is important to note <br />that approval of this comprehensive plan amendment does not grant or imply any right to <br />an approval of the PUD application that likely will follow. <br />The 2004 growth management policy (Ordinance 24 -04) was prepared to implement the <br />intent of the comprehensive plan. The growth management policy requires that several <br />issues be addressed if the City is to accommodate this application. This project <br />application is the first one that requires an amendment to the comprehensive plan as <br />directed by the growth management ordinance. Review of the relevant parts of the <br />comprehensive plan resulted in recommendations to add or change several passages. The <br />amendment to the comprehensive plan would involve a number of elements. <br />This application does not include a planned unit development or preliminary plat. It does <br />not include the detailed information normally part of such applications. Because of this, <br />we did not pursue exempting the project from growth management limits as a <br />conservation development. In addition, there are some limits from which we cannot <br />grant exemptions. Therefore, a comprehensive plan amendment is needed to address <br />growth issues as well as changing the land use designation for the site. <br />
