Oakwood View page 6 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 permit 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 single family lots meet this minimum. The minimum lot width in the R -1X zone is 90 feet. All meet this requirement. The PUD is needed to accommodate the group residence. That lot does not have the minimum road frontage width normally required. We normally do not allow flag lots. However, the group home is a specialized use and will not generate the amount of traffic that would be generated by other uses. Nor will future development occur that will use the proposed driveway. The driveway off of the church parking lot is sufficient. 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. Park dedication will be collected as each phase is final platted. We do not collect park dedication for churches, as churchgoers do not generate demand for park facilities.
