Motion carried unanimously. Bergstrom reminded Mr.Nelson that the issue of a conditional use permit for Nextel Communi- cations will be presented to the City Council at the April 25, 2000 meeting. Additionally, he stated that a representative from the Planning Commission would be present to review this issue with the City Council at the meeting scheduled for April 25, 2000. In this respect, Chair Bergstrom requested that Commissioner Hanson attend the City Council meeting on April 25, 2000 as the Planning Commission Liaison. In returning to the issue of a PUD in connection with the redevelopment of Apache Plaza, Chair Bergstrom invited Mr. Carlson (DSU) to speak further about the potential zoning changes and explanation of a PUD. Mr. Carlson stated that in developing a PUD as a zoning district, three key words are incorpo- rated into the plan: (1) flexibility; (2) mixed use; and (3) one or more parcels. Additionally, he stated that the City would have greater discretion in connection with the PUD than it would have with a simple zoning change. In this regard, Mr. Carlson directed the Commission's attention to a handout comprising of Sec- tion 1655 regarding Planned Unit Developments. In essence, a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a zoning district which may include single or mixed uses, one or more lots or parcels, intended to create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to the use of land and subject to the procedures, standards, and regulations. Mr. Carlson continued by reviewing Section 1655 in detail with the Commission and offering ex- 0 planations and insights into the specifics of the Section.
