Mounds View Planning Commission June 5, 2013 Regular Meeting Page 6 ________________________________________________________________________ Associate Heller commented since this is an extensive list, the Commission should start by focusing on a couple of the ideas. Reducing the acreage size requirements for PUD’s seemed to be one of the ideas that were most important, especially since the City was in the process of purchasing some key properties along the corridor to redevelop. Associate Heller discussed the minimum size requirements for PUD’s at this time, and requested the Commission continue discussion on the proposed code amendment and direct staff on how to proceed. Associate Heller reviewed maps of the properties in the Premium Stop redevelopment area and discussed the size of each site in detail. At this time, a senior housing PUD required 2 acres, a residential development PUD required three acres and a commercial PUD would require 5 acres. She stated the City would benefit by reducing these minimum PUD size requirements. Commissioner Schiltgen questioned the size of the Walgreens redevelopment. Chair Stevenson stated with the wetland outlot, the property was approximately 10 acres in size. Commissioner Carvelli-Yu stated the combined Roberts/Premium Stop/Taiko properties were approximately 3.5 acres in size. She noted the commercial requirements would have to be reduced in order to allow for a PUD for these parcels. Further discussion ensued regarding public transportation needs along with the walkability of the community. Commissioner Love questioned if the City would consider any mixed use developments. Associate Heller explained this has not always been successful in other areas, but the current code does allow mixed-use development on a minimum 5 acre parcel. Chair Stevenson recommended the PUD requirements only be changed along the County Road 10 corridor. He recommended that an overlay district be created which would allow for PUD’s of 2+ acres only along the corridor as this would spur redevelopment. He noted the standards for the overlay district corridor should be separate from all other PUD requirements. Associate Heller thanked the Commission for their input this evening and noted she would report back to the Commission with more ideas. She noted she would speak with City Administrator Ericson also regarding this matter and would report back to the Commission at a future meeting. ______________________________________________________________________________ 7.
