The City Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain: 1. The above recitals are herein fully incorporated herein as set forth above. 2. The Prior Lake Zoning Map, referred to in Prior Lake City Code Section 1120.200, is hereby amended to designate a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay District to be known as The Preserve at Jeffers Pond over the following legally described property: LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Outlot B, Jeffers Pond 1st Addition (PID 254371690) 3. The Preserve at Jeffers Pond Planned Unit Development includes the following elements: a. The PUD is a multi-family market rate rental apartment building consisting of 197 units. 2 b. The elements of the plan will be as shown on the plans dated February 14, 2022, except for modifications approved as part of the final PUD plan. 4. It hereby adopts the following findings: a) Provides a flexible approach to development which is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed PUD Amendment is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designations for high density residential development in this area. b) More creative, efficient, and effective use of land, open space, and public facilities through mixing of land uses. The proposed PUD amendment provides over 48% of open space on the site. c) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people. The proposed PUD amendment proposes a multi-family residential structure with interior community meeting space and exterior pool and recreational opportunities. d) Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking, or bussing. The proposed development is near existing regional trails which will provide convenient access for future tenants. e) Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages. The proposed PUD amendment provides opportunities for current and future residents of Prior Lake that are seeking market rate rental housing options. f) Provide more efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities that support high quality land use development at a lesser cost. The proposed PUD amendment will utilize existing street and utility infrastructure which was designed and installed previously to accommodate high density residential and commercial uses in the area of Outlot B. g) 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. The proposed PUD amendment is consistent with the originally approved plan related to high density residential in this area of the Jeffers Pond development. The original Jeffers Pond PUD conveyed property to the public for recreation and open space use. h) 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. The proposed PUD amendment does not include any changes to the existing wetland and wooded areas on the west half of the site. i) High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. The proposed architectural design of the building is intended to compliment adjacent residential properties and the surrounding natural areas. The applicant has committed to the use of architectural standards including but not limited to varying building materials, accent design features, as well as varying wall depths and wall heights. 3 5.
