Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan <br /> The proposed PUD is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan <br /> identifies the Apache Plaza area as a commercial redevelopment opportunity and states that the <br /> City desires to take an active role in guiding its design. The Comprehensive Plan includes a <br /> Commercial Mixed Use land use plan category, which is applied to all property in the PUD <br /> area This designation allows for retail uses as well as light industrial, office, warehouse, and <br /> residential uses and maintains the maximum amount of flexibility that an outmoded site such as <br /> Apache Plaza requires for redevelopment. <br /> 2. Consistency with Zoning <br /> The subject property is currently zoned Commercial. The application for PUD approval requests <br /> a change in zoning from Commercial to a PUD District. At the most basic level, the <br /> Comprehensive Plan designates commercial mixed use, so the PUD zoning provides the means <br /> by which_ to approve the mixed use. The Planned Unit Development section of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance allows for the implementation of a flexible development program, including the <br /> following aspects: <br /> a. Variety: Within a comprehensive site design concept, a mixture of land uses, housing <br /> types and densities. <br /> i <br />
