or Conditional Use Permit process. The site is comprised of two lots, 3930 and 3928 Northwoods Drive, but it functions as one continuous development. The existing medical clinic and most of the parking stalls that serve the building are located on 3930 Northwoods Drive. A small portion of the parking area and a regional stormwater pond are located on the 3928 Northwoods Drive parcel. The proposed PUD would cover both lots. 2. Planned Unit Development(PUD) Process: The Planned Unit Development process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. If a PUD is comprised of multiple lots, it is often treated as one continuous development. The development as a whole would be expected to meet the landscaping and structure coverage, and other similar requirements. For example, one property in the PUD may have 60 percent building coverage, but the development as a whole may not exceed 50 percent building coverage to maintain conformance with the underlying zoning district. The PUD development process is often comprised of multiple steps. The first step is the Master PUD, which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development outlining the individual phases over a period of time. A Final PUD proposal is then submitted prior to the development of each phase of the project. In this case, The Master and Final PUD are being applied for concurrently for the proposed addition. There are no future development phases proposed at this time. 3.
