Sprouts Pediatric Dentistry PUD Amendment and Site Plan Page 2 addressed the Planning Commission stating that they designed the building to relate to the commercial buildings in Victor Gardens, using similar materials, colors, and design elements. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the PUD amendment and site plan to the City Council. 2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is seeking approval of a PUD amendment and site plan to construct a 4,520 -square foot dentist office building on Lot 2, Block 2, Victor Gardens South Village. The 1 -acre lot is located south of Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) and west of Victor Hugo Boulevard. 3. CONTEXT: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning The property to the east, south and west are all part of the Victor Gardens development. The surrounding uses in the Victor Gardens development include townhomes to the south and west and a retail center to the east. The property to the north across Frenchman Road (CSAR 8) is also part of the Victor Gardens development and is occupied by commercial uses. All the surrounding properties are zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). B. Existing Site Characteristics The 1 -acre site has no wetlands and is buildable. The site has remained vacant for several years. There are several scrub trees on the property that will be removed with the development. 4. BACKGROUND: In July 2004, the City Council approved a PUD amendment and preliminary plat to be known as Victor Gardens South Village. The final plat was later approved by the Council in September 2004. The PUD standards are the same as the PUD standards approved as part of the original Victor Gardens PUD. The approved plat includes 4 commercial lots and 14 townhomes. However, no approvals were granted for the commercial lots. This lot was shown as a bank building on all previous plans. Therefore, the applicant must request approval of a PUD Amendment and Site Plan for the development of a dentist office building on Lot 2, Block 2, Victor Gardens South Village, the last commercial lot in the development. 5. ANALYSIS: A. Level of City Discretion in Decision -Making The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving PUD Amendment. A PUD must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City may impose reasonable requirements in a PUD not otherwise required if the City deems it necessary to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the community and surrounding area.
