Page 2 portion of the property totaling approximately 2 acres and is Phase 1 of the proposed development. The PUD general plan includes the restaurant for Phase 1 and for Phase 2 a 4,000 square foot event center and three retail/office buildings totaling 10,100 square feet. Phase 1 will only be approved. Phase 2 will need to go through another land use application review process at the time of development. The preliminary plat will include one commercial lot and one outlot to be known as "Shores of Egg Lake". The site plan approval is for 2 acres on the north side of the property and includes the Cattle House restaurant, outdoor gathering spaces/amenities along the lake, and a parking lot. The site plan shows an expansion for an event center, but that is not being approved at this time. The applicant will need to apply for site plan approval for the expansion. The applicant is requesting PUD flexibility on the following: Flexibility to allow a minimum shoreland setback of 49 feet, where 125 feet is required by ordinance. Flexibility to allow reduced parking space requirements for shared parking throughout the PUD. The flexibility will allow 174 parking spaces, where 192 are required by ordinance. Flexibility to allow parking side yard setback to be 4.3 feet, where 5 feet is required by ordinance. In exchange for this flexibility, the developer is: • Exceeding the landscape ordinance requirements. • Preservation of existing large trees on the property. • Public trails along Egg Lake with trails easements to extend the trail to the north and south. 3. LEVEL OF DISCRETION IN DECISION -MAKING The City has discretion in approving or denying rezoning applications, based on whether or not the proposal meets the standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. If the City finds that all the applicable standards are met, the rezoning application must be approved. However, if the City finds that any of the applicable standards are not met, the application may be denied. The City has relatively high level of discretion in approving a PUD. 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. The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the subdivision regulations in the City Code. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. 2
