<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for April 5, 2017 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-008 - Lexington Station - Master PUD Amendment and Final PUD Phase <br />2\Memos_Reports_17-008 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 17 <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 /> <br />If a PUD is comprised of multiple lots, it is often treated as one continuous development. The <br />development as a whole would be expected to meet the landscaping, structure coverage, and <br />other similar requirements. For example, one property in the PUD may have 60 percent building <br />coverage, but the development as a whole may not exceed 50 percent building coverage to <br />maintain conformance with the underlying zoning district. <br /> <br />The PUD development process is comprised of multiple steps. The first step is the Master PUD, <br />which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development outlining the individual phases over a <br />period of time. The City also works with the developer during this stage to set a design <br />framework for the development. These standards are written into a development agreement, <br />which generally includes the design standards, a list of conditions, and what deviations from the <br />underlying zoning district will be permitted. A Final PUD proposal is then submitted prior to the <br />development of each successive phase of the project. This plan provides a greater level of detail <br />than the Master PUD and must conform to the approved development agreement. <br /> <br />Planning Case 17-008 includes two requests: <br />1. Master PUD Amendment for Lexington Station redevelopment project <br />2. Final PUD for Phase 2 of the Lexington Station redevelopment project <br /> <br />3.
