Page 3 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. The City’s discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must then approve the site plan. B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment and Site Plan In May of 2022, the City Council approved a PUD general plan for The Shores of Oneka Lake. The approved plan included 218 residential lots. The housing types are proposed to be a combination of single family homes, villa homes, and twinhomes. Recently, there was a PUD amendment to change some of the undeveloped twinhome lots in the carriage home lots, which are a detached residential product. This brought the approved total residential units to 219. The PUD general plan showed a concept of this property that included 100 units of apartments. The apartment units were not formally approved at that time, since the developer did not have final plans for the apartments. It was noted that a PUD amendment and PUD final plan would need to be reviewed and approved, with a public hearing, prior to development of the property for apartments. The proposal for Oneka Fields includes a five apartment buildings with 12 apartment units in each building. This is a total of 60 apartment units. This will bring the total units for The Shores of Oneka Lake PUD plan to 279 units. The project will be managed and maintained with services such as lawn care and snow removal. The project will be served and provided access from private driveways. The plan includes a good land use transition from the other development additions with the location of the ditch and stormwater ponds. Density The PUD ordinance allows for internal transfer of density and a variety of land uses for a planned development project. The applicant is proposing a mix of single family, villa, carriage, twinhome, and apartment units in the development with the PUD amendment. The maximum development density for a PUD in the zoning district is 4 units per 1 acre. The applicant is proposing a residential net density of 2.75 units per 1 acre, which fits the requirements of a PUD. This is calculated for The Shores of Oneka overall PUD general plan. The proposed density meets the ordinance standards.
