Staff has worked with the developer to pursue the City's public values and 20 conservation development goals. The project includes restoration and preservation of quality 21 wetlands and upland areas, and fills in one more piece of the greenway vision. 22 •23 City Planner Smyser stated a planned unit development (PUD) is being used on this project because 24 standard zoning requirements do not accommodate the natural features and the restoration plan.
