<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for February 4, 2014 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-036 - Red Fox Business Center PUD\Memos_Reports_14-036 <br />Page 3 of 14 <br />2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process: <br /> <br />The Planned Unit Development process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for <br />development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD <br />may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building <br />materials, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning <br />regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City <br />to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a <br />rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to <br />permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. <br />3.
