Memo to the Planning CommissionfP 97-12 <br />December 23, 1997 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />unit development. For all practical purposes the PUD has become a hybrid <br />which was a challenge to administratively apply interpretation from the <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />As with all planned unit developments, there is an overall master plan which <br />is reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. This master plan <br />is a representation of how the entire parcel will be developed and acts as a <br />guide for future phases of the development. As each phase of the planned <br />unit development is scheduled to occur, specific plans will be submitted to the <br />Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval. <br /> <br />Guardian Angels is asking to have their master plan approved as well as <br />Phase 1 which consists of the townhouse units and 60 units of the assisted <br />living. The remaining 20 units of the assisted living and the commercial <br />building will be reviewed at a later date when those phases are proposed to <br />be developed. <br /> <br />Land Use Plan Amendment/Rezoning <br /> <br />The land use plan amendment and rezoning applications are being requested <br />to rezone the property from R2b (Two Family Residential) to PUD (Planned <br />Unit Development). The planned unit development designation was chosen <br />to allow for a more comprehensive review of developing the entire 11.7 acre <br />parcel. In addition, the property is proposed to be utilized with a variety of <br />uses which do not fit into any one zoning designation other than the planned <br />unit development. Under the present zoning, the only component of the <br />proposed project that could be developed would be the townhomes. The <br />proposed rezoning to planned unit development, based on the proposed <br />development plan with a mixture of residential, multi-family and a medium <br />commercial component, appears to provide compatibility with surrounding <br />land uses and the natural environment of Lake Orono. The tiering of <br />development away from Lake Orono with Iow density residential, high <br />density residential and commercial is consistent with the land use strategy of <br />having the commercial concentrated at the lighted intersections and <br />compatible land uses surrounding those commercial nodes. It is also <br />consistent with the Shoreland Regulations. <br /> <br />Plat <br /> <br />The plat includes an area of approximately 11.7 acres and is consistent with <br />the proposed planned unit development. The plat basically includes one <br />commercial lot with an area of 2.97 acres, one lot for the assisted hying (3.17 <br />acres), and 21 lots for the townhouse component. Each of the townhouse <br />buildings will be platted into two separate lots with a zero lot hne allowing <br /> <br />f:\shrdoc\planning\pc\p97-12x3.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
