The applicant is requesting a Zone Change to a <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) to develop a detached townhome <br />development. The proposed subdivision will consist of 43 lots and <br />three outlots. The outlots are encumbered by overhead power lines <br />and wetlands and will not be developed in the future. <br />The proposed zone change is consistent with the multiple family <br />residential nature of the area with townhomes just north of the subject <br />property. <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />The Comprehensive Plan guides the property as Traditional Single -Family Residential which predominately <br />consists of single-family detached homes occupying moderately sized lots. This land use is the most prevalent <br />residential type within the Urban Service Area and consists of a range of neighborhood typologies, including the <br />historic grid block pattern neighborhoods surrounding the downtown and newer curvilinear block pattern <br />subdivision developments in the north, east, and west. This land use, while predominately single-family detached, <br />should accommodate single-family attached, townhomes, and duplexes at transitional areas on the edges of these <br />neighborhoods, along primary transportation corridors, and adjacent higher intensity uses such as multi -family or <br />commercial. <br />The Elk River Vision P I 1 E I E I s r <br />A avelcoming community With revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional NATURE <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and insires pro perity.
