Page 4 Density The maximum development density for a PUD in the R-3 zoning district is 4 units per 1 acre. The applicant is proposing a residential net density of 2.2 units per 1 acre, which fits the requirements of a PUD. Although the applicant is requesting flexibility on lot sizes and setbacks, the density meets the ordinance standards. Parks/Trails A majority of the trails have been graded in the development and boardwalks are being installed. The trails will be paved this spring. The remaining land for the park is to be dedicated with Adelaide Landing 4th Addition that is likely to be completed this year. The Parks Commission has been discussing partnering on the installation of the park improvement with the developer. The goal of the Parks Commission and developer is that the park improvements, including a parking lot, will be completed this year. Grading In response to neighbors' concerns over preserving an existing tree line in the northeast corner of the development, changes have been made to the plans. Most of the trees were planned to be removed in this area to accommodate a stormwater pond and storm sewer pipe. The developer has reviewed the plans and agree that the a revision to the plan to preserve as many trees as they can would be reasonable. The developer has made revisions to preserve at least 15 feet, and in some areas much more, of trees in this areas. The developer relocated the storm sewer pipe on the plans to avoid the need to disturb the area and trees. 5. CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the layout of the proposed Adelaide Landing PUD general plan exceeds the City's standards for residential developments. The developer has offered a more creative and efficient approach to the existing constraints of the property through the site design layout. The PUD amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the approved Adelaide Landing PUD. It is in staff s opinion that the applicant meets all the requirements necessary to approve the PUD amendment. 6. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the PUD amendment for OP5 Adelaide (Excelsior Group) for the development to be known as "Adelaide Landing", subject to the conditions listed in the resolutions.
