Memo to the Planning Commission Page 3 <br /> April 25, 1995 <br /> Maurer's letter for additional information on traffic and utilities to serve the <br /> • property. <br /> Additional Information <br /> Included in this report is a considerable amount of information the <br /> Commission should review before considering the applicant's requests. This <br /> information will not be discussed in detail; rather, may be referenced during <br /> this report. <br /> Land Use Amendment/Zoning <br /> The first item the Planning Commission shall consider is the land use plan <br /> amendment. The applicant's request would change the land use plan from <br /> Medium Density Residential to Highway Business. <br /> The second item the Planning Commission shall consider is the rezoning of <br /> the property from R1c (Single Family Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit <br /> Development). The applicant has submitted a concept plan illustrating how <br /> the 17 acre parcel could be developed under a PUD zoning. This plan is a <br /> "concept", however; demonstrates some of the fundamental elements to <br /> development of the site. For example, transportation, building size, <br /> III <br /> buffer/landscaped areas and general utility information. <br /> When considering the rezoning requests the Planning Commission may ""tie" <br /> the concept plan to the PUD zoning. In other words, the rezoning and <br /> concept plan can be approved with conditions that will address infringement <br /> upon the surrounding residential, adversely impacting the transportation <br /> system and/or other facilities. The Planning Commission should refer to <br /> Attachment G which is the current PUD Ordinance and specifically review <br /> the Regulations section. This section outlines criteria for granting a rezoning <br /> to PUD. <br /> The Planning Commission may want to consider the following when <br /> reviewing these two applications: <br /> 1. The effect of the proposed rezoning on the comprehensive <br /> planning of the entire municipality. <br /> 2. The changes in community characteristics that may take place <br /> because of the projected land use plan change and rezoning. <br /> 3. The relative effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the present <br /> zoning map and land use plan, and whether a justification for <br /> • <br /> s:planning:pc:lua95-4 <br />
