Item No: 613 Meeting Date: Feb 17, 2016 Type of Business: Special Planning Case 199-16 M6U-NDS VIEW MEMO To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Planner Re: Resolution 1044-16, Recommendation approval of a Text Amendment to Zoning Code 1120.03, Subd 3(b) Mixed Use Planned Unit Development; Minimum Project Size Date: Feb 17, 2016 Discussinn ° The Zoning Code requires Mixed -Use Planned Unit Developments (PUD) to have a minimum project size of 5 acres. Staff is recommending this be changed to 4 acres in order to accommodate smaller developments. Zoning Code 1119 thru 1120 regulates PUD's. The purpose of permitting PUD's is "to provide for the integration and coordination of land parcels as well as the combination of varying types of residential, commercial and industrial uses." In laymen's terms, a PUD is a type of development that exceeds minimum standards in some areas, but not in others. It is a type of development that is "outside the box" of typical developments. PUD's are permitted within a PUD zoning district. There are three types of PUD's. In order to rezone a property to PUD, the ordinance requires a minimum "project size" (not parcel size) of: Residential: 3 acres (2 acres, if Senior Housing) Commercial/Industrial: 5 acres Mixed Use: 5 acres The City of Mounds View acquired land at the south intersection of Co Rd 10 and Greenfield Ave. and has been marketing the land (4.25 acres, including Greenfield Ave. ROW) for redevelopment. A developer has approached the City for a multi -family residential project (The Flats at Crossroad Pointe) on a portion of the property. The remaining property could be redeveloped as commercial or mixed-use. A Mixed -Use PUD would be appropriate for this project, if complying with the minimum project size. Recommendation: Staff recommends amending Zoning Code 1120.03, Subd 3(b) to allow Mixed Use PUD's a minimum of 5 4 acres in project size, as included in the attached resolution.
