The Prior Lake Zoning Map, referred to in Prior Lake City Code Section 10-162, is hereby amended to designate a PUD Overlay District over the Subject Property and designate the Subject Property as Marlow Ridge Planned Unit Development (PUD). Section 5. The Marlow Ridge Planned Unit Development includes the following elements. a) The PUD is a low- and medium-density residential development consisting of 262 lots for single family detached, attached twin homes, and townhome units. b) The elements of the plan are shown on the plans prepared by Alliant Engineering, Inc. and dated April 20, 2026, except for modifications approved as part of the final PUD plan. Section 6. The City Council 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 is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designations on the property. The PUD approach allows the location of the housing units in ways that preserve and enhance natural features of the site. b) More creative, efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses. The proposed PUD plan clusters the residential areas so as to minimize wetland impacts. c) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people The plan incorporates a private park area as well as trail and sidewalk connections to the existing City trail network. d) Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking or bussing The plan proposes local streets, pedestrian sidewalks and trails to increase transportation options. e) Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages The PUD provides variety of life cycle housing units with a mix of attached twin homes, townhomes and single-family detached homes. 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 plan connects Carriage Hills Parkway with Fountain Hills Drive; extends Fountain Hills Drive to a new intersection with CH21 and provides several local streets and new connections with Carriage Hills Parkway and Fountain Hills Drive. Existing streets and utilities are available to serve the Marlow Ridge PUD. 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 PUD preserves a significant amount of open space and wetland areas. 4 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 plan includes the dedication of easements and public outlots around the wetland areas to protect these sensitive natural features. i) High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. The proposed design will be of high quality and is compatible with the surrounding low density residential land uses. Section 7. Final plans for Marlow Ridge Planned Unit Development are subject to the following conditions: a) The developer shall revise the plans according to the May 19, 2026 City Staff Review Memorandum. b) The developer shall obtain a grading permit from the City Engineering Department prior to any grading or tree removal on the site. c) The Developer shall obtain the required permits from other state or local agencies as applicable. d) The Marlow Ridge preliminary PUD and rezoning request are conditioned upon Metropolitan Council approval of the City of Prior Lake 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment to reguide the land use of the Subject Property.
