Hunter Homes, LLC, on behalf of the property owner, is proposing a concept plan for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 24 lots on a 7.0-acre parcel at the northwest corner of 154th Street (Hwy 82) and Hwy 21. Current Circumstances Section 1106 of the Zoning Ordinance relates to Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and states the following regarding the minimum requirements: 1106.600: MINIMUM PUD ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Projects available for PUD treatment shall have a site which consists of a parcel or contiguous parcels of land in common ownership 10 acres or more in size. An owner(s) of a tract of land less than 10 acres may apply to the Planning Commission for an exception to the 10-acres requirement pursuant to Subsection 1106.601 below. The City Council may impose additional restrictions or requirements on land developed under the PUD process. The City Council shall make specific findings that the restrictions or requirements being imposed furthers, addresses, promotes or protects the general welfare, public safety, aesthetics, neighborhood character, environmental features or property values. These additional requirements may include, but are not limited to, traffic, traffic signals, parking, bufferyards, landscaping, noise, lighting, hours of operation, architectural design and off-site road and utility improvements. 1106.601 Exception to 10-Acres Requirement. In the case of a project where the applicant is seeking an exception to the 10-acres requirement, the applicant must submit a Concept Plan for review and approval by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall decide, based upon the criteria set forth below, whether to authorize the City staff to accept and process an application for a Preliminary PUD Plan for a project less than 10 acres: (1) The proposed project meets all other criteria for a PUD except the acreage requirement. 2 (2) There are unique circumstances that prohibit the applicant from assembling 10 contiguous acres. (3) The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. (4) The applicant intends to provide for greater parks, open space, trails or public areas than required by this Ordinance. All preliminary PUD Plan applications permitted under this subsection shall be reviewed based on the standards and criteria for a PUD set forth in this Ordinance. ISSUES: The property for the proposed PUD is slightly over 7.0 acres in size. The De- veloper is proposing a 24-unit residential subdivision with a public street. The modifications to the Zoning Ordinance include the clustering of housing in blocks of townhome units that are between 30-40 feet each in unit width. The Developer is offering PUD public benefits which include 1) the connection of a local street (Majestic Lane) that has existed as temporary cul-de-sacs for over 13 years, 2) preservation of open spaces around wetland features and the perimeter of the site, 3) compatible townhome lots similar to existing nearby housing units, and 4) removal of a private driveway from the right turn lane of County Hwy 21. A detailed determination of how much a benefit these items provide to the City against the degree of requested modifications from the Zon- ing Ordinance (lot widths and areas) would be evaluated during the Preliminary PUD process by City Staff as well as the Planning Commission and City Coun- cil. Conclusion In accordance with Section 1106.601 of the Zoning Ordinance the Developer has submitted a 7.0-acre concept plan for consideration as a PUD. The site is located in a developed area of the City; therefore, assembling more than 10 contiguous acres for the proposed development is not possible. The project is Consistent with the current R-LD Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation and R-1 Low Density Residential Zoning District for the site. The Developer is proposing benefits of providing key street connections, public open space areas, and removal of a conflicting private driveway in the County Hwy 21 turn lane. Therefore, City Staff recommends the Planning Commission authorize the application be accepted for consideration of a Preliminary PUD. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second to adopt a resolution authorizing the City staff to accept and process an application for a Preliminary PUD Plan for a project less than 10 acres. 2. Motion and second to adopt a resolution denying that the City staff accept and process an application for a Preliminary PUD Plan for a project less than 10 acres. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: City Staff recommends Alternative #1. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2.
