City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for June 8, 2016 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-014 - Land O' Lakes - PUD\Memos_Reports_16-014 Page 3 of 15 submitted for the Master PUD and Final PUD for Phase 1. The submitted plan set includes the site plan, tree preservation & landscaping plan, circulation plan, parking plan, photometric plan, grading plan, utility plans, and proposed building elevations (Phase 2). 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, building materials, 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. The first step in the PUD process is the Master PUD, which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development proposal, often outlining individual phases for development over a specified period of time. The second step is the Final PUD for each phase, which is a more detailed review as each development phase moves forward. During the Master PUD stage, the City works with the applicant to set an overall design framework or standard for a proposed development. These standards are then written into a development agreement which generally includes the design standards, a list of conditions, the size of the development, and what, if any, deviations from the underlying zoning district will be permitted. Once the Master PUD is approved, the applicant then creates a development that conforms to the development agreement for each subsequent Final PUD phase. The level of detail is guided by the type and scale of the development as well as the guidance or flexibility within the Zoning Code. 3.
