City ordinance section 30-1564 outlines the requirements for approval of a PUD. 1. Land will be zoned into the PUD zoning district only upon approval of a concept plan for the PUD,pursuant to the procedure set forth in this section.A PUD will be authorized on land in a PUD zoning district only upon issuance of a conditional use permit,pursuant to the procedure set forth in this section. Re-zoning is not required. The property was zoned PUD as part of the River Park Project. The plans submitted by the applicant will be used to review the new project. 2. The uses allowed in a PUD shall be limited to land uses consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and land use map, and to those uses identified in the concept plan for the PUD zoning district and the conditional use permit for the PUD. The comprehensive plan guides this area for urban residential uses with a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre and an average density of 3 to 4 dwelling units per acre.After removing the non-buildable areas, the average density of the development is approximately 3.5 units per acre.The comprehensive plan also guides this area for single-family and detached townhome style units. The PUD proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The area of land to be included in a PUD shall be in uniform control of the applicant. The remaining undeveloped portions of the River Park development are owned by the applicant (Paxmar) and another land owner. The land within the current PUD application is in uniform control of the applicant. The remaining property does not appear to be impacted by the proposed development, and the ability to develop the remaining land according to the River Park plat has been preserved. 4. A PUD shall be designed to form a desirable unified environment within its proposed boundaries, including uniform design elements, landscaping, lighting and signage. The wide range in housing types,ranging from narrow 45 foot lots to larger single-family lots forms a unified environment throughout the development. The transition between housing types typically occurs in the back-yard areas with one single-family unit bordering,in some locations, two detached townhome units. Building designs will generally be consistent with varied facade treatments and color pallets provided throughout the development. 5. A PUD shall not cause undesirable impacts on adjacent lands and land uses. In particular, uses on the PUD perimeter shall be compatible with adjacent uses outside the PUD. The proposed PUD is bordered by Cleveland Ave to the east, existing development to the north and west, and undeveloped areas to the south. Detached townhome lots are located along Cleveland Ave to buffer the larger single-family lots at the interior.To the west, the existing Sunset Ridge development is bordered with 75 foot wide lots, consistent with the River Park plat and providing the least dense unit type. Land uses along the north side of the PUD are part of the original plat and proposed uses range from narrow 45 foot detached townhome lots to 75 foot lots. \\dc3-elkr\shared\Departments\Community Development\Planning\Case Files\P\P 16-02 Miske Meadows\P 16-02 SR PC 4-26-2016 Paxmar- Miske Meadows.docx
