These exact breakdowns are subject to change, based on final market studies and plans. There are a total of 693 designated parking stalls proposed for the development. These include 407 enclosed parking stalls and 286 surface stalls. The redevelopment proposal includes two stormwater retention ponds proposed at grade. The city engineer has reviewed the surface water management plan and submitted comments in the attached memo. Trails are proposed throughout the development to connect with existing sidewalks and to provide intra‐site recreational opportunities. The plan proposes to connect to the existing sewer, water, and stormwater facilities located under Kenzie Terrace and Stinson Parkway. ZONING GUIDANCE The site is currently zoned R‐1 – Single Family, which is a zoning district that allows for detached single family uses. The applicant is requesting to rezone the site to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The intent of a PUD zoning designation is “to create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to the use of land”, and may include a greater use variety and dimensional flexibility than the underlying zoning district(s) would allow. City Code Section 152.203 (“ALLOWED USES”) stipulates that a PUD development plan may deviate from the area’s underlying zoning and allowed uses, and that the uses defined in the final PUD agreement take precedence: “Uses within a PUD may include only those uses generally considered associated with the general land use category shown for the area on the official Comprehensive Land Use Plan. However, in some unique situations, the PUD may allow the approval of use or uses that are not listed as either permitted or conditional uses in any underlying zoning district. The specific allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be delineated in an ordinance and development plan. The PUD development plan shall identify all the proposed land uses, which shall become permitted uses if the final development plan is approved.” Upon review of the proposal, the only deviation found from the standards of the R‐4 Multiple Family Residential district (the appropriate zoning district to review this property under, per the Comprehensive Plan Guidance of Multi‐Family Residential) is the height of the buildings. Maximum height in the R‐4 zoning district is 35 feet, and the maximum height of the proposed highest building is 45.5 feet.
