Memo to City Council <br />May 15, 1995 <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 />Page 2 <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 particulaz 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 standazds 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:lua95-4 <br />
