Memo to the Planning Commission/P 97-12 <br /> December 23, 1997 <br /> Page 4 <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Land Use Plan Amendment/Rezoning <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 /> III <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 low 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 /> Plat <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 living (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 line allowing <br /> \shrdoc\planning\pc\p97-12x3.doc <br />
