Oneka Prairie Sketch Plan Planned Unit Development The developer has proposed requesting approval of a PUD for 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. The applicant is proposing flexibility on lot size, lot width, and setbacks. See table below. Required Proposed Lot Size 10,400 square feet 7,800 square feet (9,427 average) Lot Width 80 feet 80 feet Front Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet 20 feet on corner lot side of house Side Yard Setback 10 feet 7.5 feet Rear Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet * Flexibility highlighted in gray In exchange for the flexibility the applicant has indicated that the development will have a stormwater reuse system for irrigation and the developer will be responsible for the cost and installation of the playground equipment and shelter at the proposed park. Parks / Trails This development is in Neighborhood Park Service Area 3 which does not have any parks in it at this time. The property is not in an area identified as a greenway. Frog Hollow and Oneka Elementary are the closest recreational amenities. Due to the size of the proposed development, it is difficult to include a neighborhood park. It is likely that a more sizeable neighborhood park would be constructed to the east with future development. A future park in this location could be a part of a greenway corridor and connect to city-owned park land to the south. The developer is proposing to continue the trail and sidewalks on Oneka Park. They are also proposing to extend the trail on the west side of Fair Oaks Avenue North and extend it to the east to connect to future trails. Sidewalks are proposed along all remaining streets. This is in keeping with the neighborhood to the south and allow for connections to future development. The applicant is required to dedicate land, pay a fee, or a combination of land and fee to satisfy park dedication per Sec. 90-324 of the City Code. The applicant is required to dedicate 10% of the developable acres for park land with a density of less than 3.99 units per acre. With 21.4 buildable acres, 2.14 acres of land would be required to be dedicated.
