Page 3 <br />Highway 61, are zoning General Industrial (I-3) and are occupied by industrial uses. There are <br />also a few vacant parcels to the east that are also zoned Single Family Detached Residential (R- <br />3). <br />B. Natural Characteristics of Site <br />The properties are currently vacant and do contain some challenges regarding an existing <br />drainage ditch, floodplain, and high ground water. The properties are relatively flat with <br />approximately 57 acres of wetlands. The area south of the Xcel Energy powerlines has been <br />graded and three phases have started for the development. There have been 70 building permits <br />issued for new homes in the development. <br />4. ANALYSIS: <br />A. Level of Discretion in Decision Making <br />The City has relatively high level of discretion in approving a PUD. A PUD must be consistent <br />with the City's comprehensive plan. The City may impose reasonable requirements in a PUD not <br />otherwise required if the City deems it necessary to promote the general health, safety, and <br />welfare of the community. <br />B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards <br />Planned Unit Development <br />The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows the land use being Low Density Residential (LD). The <br />PUD is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in terms of land use and density. The Adelaide <br />Landing PUD general plan has offered a creative and efficient method to planning the site, all <br />which meets the intent of the PUD ordinance. It is in staff s opinion that the PUD amendment <br />meets the intent of the PUD ordinance, and is consistent with the PUD general plan. <br />Lot Sizes and Setbacks <br />The proposed 65-foot wide lots will still meet the setback regulations outlined for the PUD as <br />follows: <br />R-3 <br />45' and 55' Wide <br />50', 65' and <br />85' <br />Zoning <br />Villa Lots <br />70'Wide Lots <br />Wide <br />District <br />Lots <br />Front Setback <br />30 Ft <br />20 Ft — Side Load Garage <br />25 Ft <br />25 Ft <br />(min) <br />25 Ft — Front Load Garage <br />Side Setback <br />10 Ft <br />7.5 Ft <br />7.5 Ft <br />10 Ft <br />min <br />Rear Setback <br />30 Ft <br />25 Ft <br />30 Ft <br />30 Ft <br />min <br />Lot Impervious <br />50% <br />55% <br />50% <br />50% <br />max <br />
