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 over the following legally described property: LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Outlot C, Jeffers Pond 1st Addition (PID 254371701) 3. The Preserve at Jeffers Pond Planned Unit Development includes the following elements: 2 a. The PUD is a multi-family market rate rental apartment building consisting of 140 units and up to 35,000 square feet of commercial land uses. b. The elements of the plan will be as shown on the plans dated January 23, 2023, 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 this area. b) More creative, efficient, and effective use of land, open space, and public facilities through mixing of land uses. The joint access to Fountain Hills Drive from the roundabout maintain the vehicular efficiency of the high-density residential site. c) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people. The proposed PUD amendment proposes high density residential dwellings which will provide another variety of housing in the area as well as future commercial uses that will provide services to the area. d) Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking, or bussing. Trails/sidewalks are currently in place along the Fountain Hills Drive area. A sidewalk connection into the site will be provided as well. 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 land uses in the areas of Outlot C. 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 previously approved high density residential designations and commercial designations in this area of the Jeffers Pond development. 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 near the Prior Lake outlet channel. i) High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. 3 The developer is proposing the use of architectural standards including but not limited to a variety of building materials and colors, varying wall heights, stone and lap siding, as well as accent design features. 5.
