Hillside Estates 4th July 18, 1994 Page 2 . Crossing. The requested rezoning to PUD is consistent with the concept plan that was presented earlier and will allow for the extension of Hillside Estates. ANALYSIS Specifically, the rezoning to PUD will allow a variety of lot sizes ranging in size from 10,000 square feet up to 23,000 square feet. The current zoning of Rle (Single Family Residential) requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The overall concept proposed by the developer is to create a mixture of lots ranging in size with the average being somewhere around 16,000 square feet. The PUD zoning is appropriate to allow this flexibility in lot sizes based on the natural features and other constraints that exist on the property. However, the PUD zoning also allows the City the opportunity to receive a higher standard of development in return for the PUD zoning. Once the PUD zoning is established, the preliminary plat and conditional use permit for a PUD will follow, which are used to establish the developments design and standards that the City Council wishes to accomplish. . COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN The current land use designation of this 40 acres is MR (Medium Density Residential). The existing land use is appropriate for residential development and is consistent with the requested rezoning. Therefore, the comprehensive land use plan does not need to be amended for this development request. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approving the rezoning from Rle (Single Family Residential) to PUD (planned Unit Development) based on the findings in staffs memo. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council approve Ordinance No. 94,_, rezoning approximately forty (40) acres from Rle (Single Family Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) based on the findings contained within the ordinance. . hill4zc.council
