The proposed amendment does not include any <br />additional wetland impacts. <br /> <br />4. ANALYSIS: <br /> <br />C. Level of Discretion in Decision Making <br /> <br />The City’s discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the <br />proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the subdivision regulations in the City Code. If it <br />meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. <br /> <br />The City has relatively high level of discretion in approving PUD amendments. A PUD <br />amendment must be consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan. The City may impose <br />reasonable requirements in a PUD amendment not otherwise required if the City deems it <br />necessary to promote the general health, safety, and welfare of the community. <br /> <br />D. Consistency with the PUD and Ordinance Standards <br /> <br />Preliminary Plat and PUD <br /> <br />There primary revision to the plan is detaching the previously approved twin homes and creating <br />narrower, detached homes, with one lot being added to the previously approved 24 lots. The <br />proposed carriage homes have a building lot similar to the previously approved villa homes, which <br />also received approval for a 6-foot side yard setback. The development is required to meet all of <br />the conditions from the previously approved preliminary plat and PUD. The proposed plans meet <br />the intent of the previously approved preliminary plat and PUD. <br /> <br />The 25 homes proposed by the developer will bring the total lot count for the entire development <br />from 218 lots to 219 lots, and result in a net density from 2.21 units per acre to 2.22 units per acre. <br />This density is less than what would be allowed in a straight zoning single family development (3- <br />4 units per acre) and what would be allowed with a PUD (Up to 4 units per acre). The density is <br />consistent with City requirements. <br /> <br />Grading and Stormwater Management <br /> <br />The site has been partially graded from the mass grading completed before previous phases of the <br />development. There will be minor changes to grading with the proposed amendment. <br /> <br />Park Dedication <br /> <br />With the creation of an additional lot the developer will need to pay the park dedication fee of <br />$3,400, in addition to the combination of land and fee as previously approved. <br /> <br /> <br />
