Memo to City Council Page 2 <br /> May 15, 1995 <br /> OVERVIEW • <br /> The attached report to the Planning Commission describes the background related to <br /> Outlot A, as well as staffs review of the applications requested by Dennis Anderson. <br /> Please refer to that report for a complete description of the applications. <br /> PROCEDURE <br /> Mr. Anderson's applications include a land use plan amendment and rezoning to planned <br /> unit development (PUD). Along with the rezoning application a concept plan has been <br /> submitted to assist the Planning Commission and City Council in considering the change <br /> in zoning from R1C (Single Family Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit Development). <br /> One of the benefits in considering a rezoning to planned unit development, the City <br /> Council may approve this rezoning based on the submitted concept plan and attach <br /> certain conditions to mitigate impacts upon adjacent properties which may result as part <br /> of the development. <br /> The rezoning process to a planned unit development is slightly different than a traditional <br /> rezoning. The primary difference lies within the rezoning based on a"conceptual" <br /> development plan. To mitigate impacts the development may have on surrounding <br /> properties and still allow the development to fit within a particular location, certain <br /> conditions can be attached to the concept plan as part of the rezoning. <br /> Conditions such as the following: <br /> • Increased landscaping areas (i.e., 50' to 100' setback areas) <br /> • Maximum building size <br /> • Signage standards <br /> • Specifying types of uses <br /> • Density of development <br /> • Architectural standards for each of the buildings <br /> are just a few examples of what may be included in considering a planned unit <br /> development. <br /> If the rezoning and "concept plan" (with conditions) is approved by the City Council, the <br /> next step is for a detailed review of the proposed development. This typically occurs <br /> when an actual user for the property steps forward. This step is administered through the <br /> conditional use permit process, involving public hearings before the Planning <br /> Commission and City Council. If the specific development plan is consistent with the <br /> "concept plan" (as approved with the rezoning), the Council will be in a position of <br /> having to act affirmatively. The rezoning will have already granted the property owner <br /> certain rights that may be difficult to deny at this point in the process. <br /> • <br /> s:council:1ua95-3 <br />
