History The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 23, 2018; no public com- ments were submitted. Following the discussion the Planning Commission rec- ommended approval of the ordinance amendments. Current Circumstances The purpose of the City’s Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance is to allow a procedure for “non-traditional” zoning developments. PUD Districts provide for greater flexibility in the development and redevelopment process as compared to development under the definitive and precise requirements of the conven- tional use districts. The current City process for a Final PUD Plan application involves a public hear- ing at the Planning Commission followed by City Council review. In the past this process has led to confusion for both the applicant and the public since a public hearing is held during the preceding Preliminary PUD review stage. Many times minor changes to the plans, if any, are made between the Preliminary PUD Plan approval and the submission of the Final PUD review. Therefore, the additional public hearing during the Final PUD review often becomes a redundant review of similar plan materials. Futhermore, many times the applicant has begun grading construction following the approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan by City Council and holding another public hearing during the Final PUD Plan review brings additional comments re- garding construction that has been previously approved by the City. These ad- ditional comments are not the purpose of the Final PUD public hearing process; the purpose is to review the Final PUD plans. In Section 1106.711 of the City Code, the City does outline a process by which any major amendments to a Preliminary or Final PUD Plan may be considered 2 by holding a public hearing before the Planning Commission followed by City Council review. Therefore, if a major change to an approved Preliminary PUD Plan is proposed prior to approval of the Final PUD Plan then a public hearing at the Planning Commission will be required as part of the amendment process. With this corresponding public hearing requirement for amendments to PUDs it appears the Final PUD Plan public hearing requirement is redundant. Conclusion Ordinance Amendment recommendations of the Planning Commission and final determinations of the City Council shall be supported by findings addressing the relationship of the proposed amendment to the following policies. In the case of amendments to the formal text of this Ordinance: ➢ There is a public need for the amendment, or ➢ The amendment will accomplish one or more of the purposes of this Ordi- nance, the Comprehensive Plan or other adopted plans or policies of the City, or ➢ The adoption of the amendment is consistent with State and/or federal re- quirements. The amendment will accomplish one or more of the purposes of this Ordi- nance, the Comprehensive Plan, or other adopted plans or policies of the City. The proposed amendments meet these purposes of the Zoning Ordinance: ➢ Promote the most appropriate and orderly development of the residential, business, industrial, public land and public areas. ➢ Establish a continuing system of review of this Ordinance to insure it will be amended to meet changing needs of the community and advances in science and technology. The adoption of this amendment is consistent with State and/or federal re- quirements. These amendments are consistent with Minnesota State Statutes. Based upon the findings set forth in this report, staff and the Planning Commis- sion recommend approval of the proposed amendments. ISSUES: City Staff and the City Attorney have discussed these amendments and concur that the similar procedure involving public hearings for a Final PUD Plan and Major Amendments to a Preliminary PUD are redundant and therefore the public hearing for Final PUD review may be eliminated. State Statute does not require a public hearing at the Final PUD stage so the City may eliminate this require- ment (thereby creating a more efficient application process) without violation of any State regulation. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second as part of the consent agenda to adopt the ordinance amendments and approve the resolution as proposed or amended. 2. Motion and a second to remove this item from the consent agenda for addi- tional discussion. 3 RECOMMENDED MOTION: ATTACHMENTS: Alternative #1 1. Proposed amendments to Subsections 1106 (PUDs) of the City Code. 4646 Dakota Street SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE ORDINANCE NO. 118-______ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1106 (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS) OF THE PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE RELATED TO PUBLIC HEARINGS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: 1.

ATTEST: _________________________ __________________________ Frank Boyles, City Manager Kirt Briggs, Mayor Summary published in the Prior Lake American on the 11th day of August 2018. Zoning Ordinance City of Prior Lake June 1, 2009 1106/p1 SECTION 1106 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS SUBSECTIONS 1106.100: Purpose 1106.200: Findings 1106.300: Definition 1106.400: Authorization 1106.500: Allowed Uses 1106.600: Minimum PUD Eligibility Requirements 1106.700: PUD Submission Requirements and Procedures 1106: MIXED USE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS 1106.100 PURPOSE: The purpose of the Planned Unit Development District (PUD) is to offer an alternative to development as outlined in the residential, commercial, and industrial use districts of this Ordinance. The PUD District will and to provide for greater flexibility in the development and redevelopment process as compared to development under the definitive and precise requirements of the conventional use districts. The PUD District must demonstrate that the particular areas to be developed can offer greater value to the community and can better meet the community’s health, welfare, and safety requirements than if those same areas were to be developed in a single purpose zone. The PUD process provides for a joint planning/design effort by developers and City officials. Development in a single purpose Use District establishes maximum limits within which developers must perform. The Planned Unit Development may be multi- purpose in nature so that not only may it be residential, commercial, or industrial, but also it may contain a combination of these uses. It is not the intent of this Section to allow for reductions or waivers to the standard Use District requirements solely for the purpose of increasing overall density, allowing the use of private streets or allowing development that otherwise could not be approved. 1106.200 FINDINGS: The City Council finds that the City and its residents will benefit by creating a process which permits Planned Unit Development District which will allow for greater flexibility in the development of a parcel or property by tailoring the development to the site and neighborhood. Such benefits include, but are not limited to: (1) Provides a flexible approach to development which is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance; (2) More creative, efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses; (3) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people; Zoning Ordinance City of Prior Lake June 1, 2009 1106/p2 (4) Increase economic vitality and expand market opportunities; (5) Support long-term economic stability by strengthening the tax base, job market and business opportunities; (6) Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking or bussing; (7) Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages; (8) Provide more efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities that support high quality land use development at a lesser cost; (9) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components in the development which may be made more useable and be more suitably located than would otherwise be provided under conventional development procedures. The PUD district also encourages the developer to convey property to the public, over and above required dedications, by allowing a portion of the density to be transferred to other parts of the site; (10) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics and open space, and protection of sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to, steep slopes, wetlands, and trees. Where applicable, the PUD should also encourage historic preservation, re-use and redevelopment of existing buildings; (11) High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. 1106.300 DEFINITION: A planned unit development (PUD) is a development of land that is under unified control and is planned and developed as a whole in a single development operation or in a programmed series of development stages. The development may include streets, circulation ways, utilities, buildings, open spaces, and other site features and improvements. A planned unit development is built according to a detailed final development plan, as approved by the City Council. 1106.400 AUTHORIZATION: Approval of a Planned Unit Development District may allow: (1) Variety: Within a comprehensive site design concept a mixture of land uses, housing types and densities. (2) Sensitivity: Through the departure from the strict application of required setbacks, yard areas, lot sizes, minimum house sizes, minimum requirements, and other performance standards associated with traditional zoning, planned unit development can maximize the development potential of land while remaining sensitive to its unique and valuable natural characteristics. (3) Efficiency: The consolidation of areas for recreation and reductions in street lengths and other utility-related expenses. Zoning Ordinance City of Prior Lake June 1, 2009 1106/p3 (4) Density Transfer: The project density may be clustered, basing density on number of units per acre versus specific lot dimensions. (5) District Integration: The combination of uses which are allowed in separate zoning districts, such as: a. Mixed residential allows both densities and unit types to be varied within the project. b. Mixed residential with increased density acknowledging the greater sensitivity of PUD projects, regulation provides increased density on the property if a PUD is utilized. c. Mixed land uses with the integration of compatible land uses within the project. 1106.500 ALLOWED USES: Uses within a PUD District may include only those uses generally considered associated with the general land use category shown for the area on the official Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. Specific allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be delineated in an ordinance and development plan. The PUD development plan shall identify all the proposed land uses and those uses shall become permitted uses with the approval of the development plan by the City Council. Any change in list of uses presented in the development plan will be considered an amendment to the PUD and will follow the procedures specified in Section 1106.711 of this Ordinance. 1106.501 Required Standards. The City shall consider a proposed PUD District from the point of view of all standards and purposes of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to achieve a maximum coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses, the conservation of woodland and the protection of health, safety and welfare of the community and residents of the PUD. To these ends, the City Council shall consider the location of the buildings, compatibility, parking areas and other features with respect to the topography of the area and existing natural features such as streams and large trees; the efficiency, adequacy and safety of the proposed layout of internal streets and driveways; the adequacy and location of green areas; the adequacy, location and screening of parking areas; and such other matters as the City Council may find to have a material bearing upon the stated standards and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In reviewing a PUD plan, the City Council must also consider the compatibility of the development with the Shoreland and Flood Plain district 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. Zoning Ordinance City of Prior Lake June 1, 2009 1106/p4 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) 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. 1106.700 PUD SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES: Planned Unit Developments shall be proposed and considered according to the requirements of this subsection. 1106.701 Concept Plan. Before filing an application for approval of a Preliminary PUD plan, the applicant is encouraged to submit a Concept Plan for review and comment by the City staff.
