4. CONCEPT PLAN: CPDC Pratt Oakwood, LLP is planning to develop two parcels of land, both of which are owned by the developer. The plan shows 177 proposed residential lots with a variety of product types and lot sizes, stormwater ponding areas, a large park and open space, sidewalk and trail connections, and road connections. The developer is proposing to construct this development in three phases. The developer has indicated that an HOA will be established for the villa homes. The concept plan was completed to get comments from the various commissions and Council prior to moving forward with the formal development approval process. Current Zoning The two proposed parcels are located in the Future Urban Service (FUS) zoning district. The applicant intends to abide by single-family detached residential requirements for lots on the west side of Oneka Parkway, while requesting flexibility on lot sizes and setbacks for lots on the east side of Oneka Parkway. 2030 Comprehensive Plan The western parcel (40 acres) and western 40 acres of the adjacent 80 acre parcel is guided as Low Density Residential (LD). The eastern 40 acres of the 80 acre parcel is guided as Medium Density Residential (MD) according to the 2030 Land Use Plan. The density standards for the Low Density residential designation is a minimum of two units per acre while the Medium Density residential designation is a minimum of three units per acre. The developer is proposing a residential gross density of 1.5 units per acre and an adjusted net density of 2.6 units per acre. The development is currently not meeting the density requirements for these two land uses. In order for the developer to meet the density requirements for these land uses, a minimum of three units per acre would be required. This may mean that the entire development would be zoned as Planned Unit Development in order to combine the minimum density requirements for those land uses. Alternatively, the applicant could request a Comprehensive Plan Amendment proposing a change to the medium density residential land use designation to Low Density residential. Planned Unit Development The developer has proposed requesting approval of a PUD for a portion of the development. PUD's offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts.
