The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. The project complies with the land use in the comprehensive plan: the site is guided for Medium Density and Low Density Sewered Residential use. The PUD accommodates both those land use categories and their respective densities. Final platting will not occur until 2004 due to MUSA availability. The project will be consistent with both the MUSA and units/per year limitations of the growth management policy. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The site is guided for low and medium density residential uses. Existing and anticipated future land uses in the area are considered compatible with the proposed uses. The Ravens Hollow lots on the north are compatible with the Fox Trace development to the north. Future development to the south will be medium and low density, like the Ravens Hollow project. 3. Upon compliance with the conditions of approval set forth in Resolution 03-134, the proposed use will conforms with all performance standards contained in the zoning ordinance and other requirements. The standard lots are similar to the R-1 standards in the zoning ordinance. The PUD allows flexibility, and the project addresses things that a PUD is supposed to encourage, as listed in the zoning ordinance. 4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Sanitary sewer service is available via Linda Lane on the north side of the site. Water is available both in Linda Lane and Ware Road. This allows for a loop in the water service, a desirable situation. The systems have adequate capacity. The utilities will be constructed to serve land to the south.
