By allowing higher densities, <br />buildings will go up or out. As a PUD, there is flexibility from the City Code on density (max 30 <br />units per acre), height (max 3-stories), and usable open space (min 625 sq ft per unit). <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Continue BR&E program, maximize utilization of development space and current list of available <br />sites, encourage land owners to maintain their properties, & consider residential redevelopment <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />None <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />ATTACHED <br />Resolution 1138-21 <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan; Chapter 2 (Land Use) <br />Density of Development (examples)
