No further environmental review is required. <br />Open Space Planned Unit Developments (OP PUDs). A PUD is a negotiated zoning district. The City of Lake Elmo <br />has a somewhat unique ordinance in that it has PUD regulations for both sewered (PUD) and nonsewered (OP <br />PUD) areas. The purpose of OP PUD’s is established by City Code Section 105.12.980 as follows: The purpose of <br />open space planned unit developments is to provide greater development flexibility within rural portions of the <br />community while maintaining the rural character by preserving agricultural land, woodlands, wildlife or natural <br />corridors, pollinator and wildlife habitat, and other significant natural features consistent with the goals and <br />objectives of the city's comprehensive plan.
