Integra Homes PUD Report May 4, 2005 Page 2 General Concept Plan Review: The Planning Commission has been provided with a site plan date-stamped April 13, 2005 for the proposed expansion. The applicant has also provided a colored rendering of the site. The total area of the proposed PUD is 3.01 acres, which satisfies the 3-acre minimum requirement for residential PUD. The site includes the property at 2901 and 2925 County Road 10 and the rear yard area of 8060 Groveland Road, which is being divided through a minor subdivision. Relationship with Comprehensive Plan: The comprehensive plan guides this area of the City as a Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MU-PUD). According to the Comprehensive Plan, an MU-PUD is “land containing a building or buildings with significant amounts of residential uses in combination with commercial and/or office uses”. In order to approve the PUD request (and the consequent rezoning) for these properties, the Commission must review two criteria. The first criteria is that the request be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The second consideration is whether the proposal would be detrimental to the neighborhood or adversely impact the adjoining properties. Regarding the first criteria, the proposed development contains the residential aspect of the mixed use, but does not have a commercial component. The City needs to determine if this meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Concerning the second criteria, that the rezoning not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood, it would seem evident that any development on the site would impact the neighborhood, be it residential or commercial. The City needs to determine if the proposed development makes sense and “fits” into the surrounding neighborhood. Development Review Issues: Density: The applicant is proposing twenty-one (21) units on 3.01 acres. Section 1104.02 of the Zoning Code requires 6,500 square feet per unit for townhouses. 3.01 acres equates to 131,116 square feet, which would allow for 20 units. Section 1120.03 of the Zoning Code allows a 10% density bonus for Residential PUDs, which would mean that this site could have up to twenty-two units. Building setbacks: The building setbacks are as follows: Building Setbacks Required Proposed Meets Code Units 1-9 Front (East) 30 feet 50.5 feet Yes Front for Unit 9 (South) 30 feet 30 feet Yes Rear (West) 40 feet 40.5 feet Yes Side (North) 20 feet* 20.5 feet Yes Distance from street 20 feet 20 feet Yes
