The proposed rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which <br />allows low density development (2-3 units per net acre) and density bonuses up to <br />4 units per acre. The development would allow townhomes and single family <br />homes at a net density of 3.38 units per acre. <br />2. The PUD will allow a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the <br />City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, <br />aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the City. <br />3. The proposed development meets the intent of the PUD zoning district by <br />providing appropriate transitions between differing land uses within the site and <br />adjacent land uses, provides a landscaped streetscape, park land and land for the <br />school/community playfields. <br />
